README

Addon Config Sync

Sync add-on meta.json configs across devices by storing copies in Anki's media folder and syncing those through AnkiWeb.

Open the manager

Main window → Tools → Manage Addon Configs

This is the main UI for all operations.

What the manager shows

  • One row per known add-on config (installed add-ons with meta.json, and media-only configs for not-installed add-ons).
  • Status per row:
    • Changed: installed meta.json differs from media copy (click status to view diff + modified times).
    • Not installed: config exists in media but add-on is not installed locally.
    • Updated: config was overwritten in this Anki session.
    • Up to date: no relevant difference.

Per-add-on and bulk actions

Each row supports:

  • Save to local media (addon → media)
  • Overwrite from local media (media → addon)
  • Remove from local media
  • Install add-on (when not installed)
  • Ignore toggle

Top action buttons apply to selected rows (with shift-range select support).

Filtering and sorting

  • Filter by add-on name.
  • Filter by status dimensions (Changed / Installed / Updated).
  • Filter by Ignore state.
  • Header sorting supports Addon, Status, and Ignore columns with ascending/descending/none cycling.

Sync modes

Set in the manager dialog (radio buttons):

  1. Update configs on Sync (default)

    • During normal sync, changed local addon configs are saved to media before media sync.
    • Downloaded media config changes are applied automatically to installed addons after media sync.
    • Ignored addons are skipped.

  2. Update configs on Sync, show summary

    • Same behavior as mode 1.
    • After sync, opens the manager dialog only if at least one addon config was updated.

  3. Ask about changes to configs

    • Still saves local changes to media on sync.
    • Does not auto-overwrite addon configs from downloaded media.
    • Opens the manager dialog non-blocking, prefiltered to changed or not-installed entries.
    • Ignored addons are skipped.

Sync media only now button

The manager includes Sync media only now, which triggers Anki sync for media only. Configs in the media folder will be update but will not yet overwrite addon configs. This refreshes statuses when sync finishes.

Notes

  • Some add-ons may require an Anki restart after config overwrite.
  • The first device to upload a conflicting media config generally wins on subsequent device syncs.
