I added the feature to auto-restart Anki after updating the add-ons. Cross-platform debugging and other add-on features are not yet complete, so it will be a while before I release it on AnkiWeb, but you can download the add-on under development for free from my Patreon page (no registration required). It has been tested only on windows, Anki 2.1.66 (Qt6). > **[\[Free\] AnkiRestart (Quickly restart Anki add-on, Prototype) | Shigeyuki](https://www.patreon.com/posts/89885608)** > > Get more from Shigeyuki on Patreon ---

I added the option to specify the database for Anki. Select the `Use custom base foloder(-b)` checkbox and specify the path to the database, it should work. - Please note that `" "` is not allowed in the path. For example, ❌`"G:\Ankiˉanki.exe" ` ⭕`G:\Anki\anki.exe` - And the `-b` argument is already setup, so there is no need to fill it in. - Perhaps `Use Anki path manually` does not need to be used. - For now, there is no function to add other arguments. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/6/e/6e04777304436788d56d9f2c56f34a5819dfcbba.png) ---

The function to restart after updating add-ons has been added to the default for the add-on, but it does not work when updating add-ons on Anki startup.(Perhaps it works only when manually updating from the add-ons dialog.) If restarting in the middle of the process, the process will be interrupted, so this feature is still under development. ---

Cool add-on and really awesome presentation, @Shigeyuki ! 🏆 I use the following AutoHotkey (v2) script to quickly restart Anki by pressing Win+N when Anki’s main window is active. When I press Control+Win+N the script also toggles night mode on or off before restarting. (For languages other than German the script would have to be modified slightly for this to work.) ```auto #SingleInstance Force #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0- #HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe anki.exe") #HotIf WinActive("- Anki") #N:: ; Restart Anki with the same profile by pressing Win+N when the Anki-window is active. { profile := RegExReplace(WinGetTitle("A"), " - Anki$") path := WinGetProcessPath("A") Send "!{F4}" ProcessWaitClose("anki.exe") Run path ' -p "' profile '"' } ^#N:: ; Restart Anki with the same profile by pressing Win+N when the Anki-window is active - but also toggle nightmode { profile := RegExReplace(WinGetTitle("A"), " - Anki$") path := WinGetProcessPath("A") Send "^p" WinWaitActive("Einstellungen") MouseClick("Left", 47, 74) Send "{Tab 7}{Space}{Esc}" WinWaitActive("Anki") Send "{Enter}" WinWaitActive(profile) Send "!{F4}" ProcessWaitClose("anki.exe") Run path ' -p "' profile '"' } #HotIf #HotIf ``` ---

- The purpose of this add-on is to quickly restart anki, so it is intentionally turned off. - After the restart, the option is restored, but occasionally there is a problem with the sync option still being OFF. ---
