Description

Note 2023-02-17: Does not seem to work with newer versions of Anki. Those versions also make backups automatically while running, at user-set intervals, but if you'd still like to use the addon and would like me to port it to newer versions, please open an issue on GitHub to let me know. Last tested working version: 2.1.49; tested not working version: 2.1.57 Adds an option to the File menu to reload the collection (which also does a collection backup). You can use this as a way to save and back up the collection (for example, after doing a portion of your reviews for the day), without having to close Anki and re-open it to continue studying. (Note: You will be returned to the deck select screen when you do this.) This can also be done using the shortcut Ctrl+R. The addon's code is very simple, and uses Anki's existing method to unload the collection. This is usually run when Anki is closed, so backups made using this addon should be exactly the same as the backups made automatically when Anki is closed. However, just to be extra safe, I'd recommend making a separate backup before installing this addon. This addon is released into the public domain. The source code is available on the GitHub page at https://github.com/feltcat/Anki-ReloadBackupMenu If you encounter any issues, please let me know by opening an issue on GitHub. If you find this addon useful, please consider leaving a thumbs-up to help others find it. Thank you :)
