But in the recent release candidate 2.1.50 qt6 you lose all that configuration (and even if you create a new predetermined configuration, the habitual Anki configuration doesn’t appear:
I haven’t suspended any cards recently, but while trying with RC1 I see that the line isn’t coloured anymore in the card browser, so there is no indication if a card is suspended or not. Was this dropped somewhen?
Qt (and the Python bindings PyQt) is the graphics toolkit that Anki uses. Qt6 is simply the latest version of it. From the beta changes page:
Qt6 is a recently-updated version of the toolkit. It fixes some issues that existed in Qt5, but some add-ons may need updating to work with it. We recommend you try it first.
One issue I noticed ever since switching to Qt6 but couldn’t quite put my finger on for some time is that scrolling in webviews is quite laggy on macOS, it basically stops once you lift the finger from the trackpad, which is not how scrolling it typically work on macOS. It does not happen in Qt5.
P.S.: I learned by @Rumo that alternative video drivers like ANGLE are still available using the Qt5 build, in which Anki is working perfectly well in my computer.
Very sad about not having the option to choose alternative video drivers anymore (ANGLE). I use windows in a Dell (XPS 13) computer, and Anki in OpenGL is extremely slow and buggy, unusable indeed. Nothing can fix this problem, not even formatting the computer. Maybe it is a persistent Dell driver problem, as I had this problem in other computers I had before (also Dell computers). It was a nightmare for me until Anki provided alternative video drivers. And, as far as I can see, this update is removing the alternative drivers. I tried once again, but it is impossible to use Anki with OpenGL in my Dell computer.
If you could bring back the ability to choose alternative video drivers, I would be very grateful!
aqt.mw.pm.night_mode() returns False even when I enable dark mode. I use this to slightly change the background color of buttons (I like green for validate and red for cancel).
