This is the official support thread for my add-on AnkiWebView Inspector.

Thanks for the 2.1.50 update - it’s super helpful for add-on development!

Not sure exactly which update broke it, but rightclicking on the Add Window no longer shows the Inspect option in the context menu.
@shallash Thanks for the report.
I have tested the add-on in the following environments and cannot reproduce the issue.
- Win10
- 2.1.50 - 54 (Qt5 and Qt6)
- source code (b9fd668) Qt6 build
- Lubuntu (a Ubuntu flavor) 22.04
- 2.1.54 (Qt6)
- source code (b9fd668) Qt6 build
If you run Anki with only the add-on enabled, does the issue still occur? If not, then the issue may be caused by another add-on that monkey-patches the editor’s context menu in an inappropriate way.
I should have thought of trying that before posting! The issue does go away when it’s the only addon enabled, thanks.

Is it possible to have an option to not make the inspector collapse, I want the lines of code to stay open. Hope you can make it a setting that one can toggle on and off
Due to my poor understanding of English, I am not sure if I understand your question correctly. Do you perhaps mean that when you close a sub-window (such as editor, previewer, or stats) with the inspector open, you want the inspector to automatically open the next time you open that sub-window and restore the Console tab, etc. to the state it was in at the time of closing? If that’s what you mean, then…
-
Restoring the state
- Probably impossible.
-
Automatically opening the inspector when opening a sub-window
- It is technically possible to implement that functionality. However, I am afraid I have no intention of implementing it at this time, as it would require considerable changes to the code, and I don’t see the need for that functionality.
It is quite hard to explain, but I appreciate you trying to help out HKR. If I do have more question, I will ask again. But no problems I understand the difficulties on your part. Have a great one HKR(:

For some reason, I am not able to get this add-on to work. I have downloaded it twice, and I have restarted Anki twice. I have also disabled all over add-ons. The button never pops up. I am running Anki 23.12.1 Qt 6.5.3 Mac OS Sonoma 14.1.1
What part of the window are you right-clicking on?
I’m an idiot. That is all. I did not see where I was supposed to right-click. I was looking for the button to pop up

How can i save changes made in WebView inspector?
If you mean these sorts of settings – there’s unfortunately no way currently.

It’d be nice if addons using webviews had a way to register themselves with this addon.
Maybe a hook that allows addons to indicate if they’re handling the webview window, returning an optional WindowInfo
