Automatic refresh in the deck browser screen

Anki Help
1

Where is the code snippet that causes this automatic refresh?

2

Maybe mw.deckBrowser.refresh()? anki/deckbrowser.py at e361bb9514cad7c187bbe0fcc77b233b18c34d3c · ankitects/anki · GitHub

This is the function that refreshes, but who calls it?

4

It’s called periodically by this code in main.py: anki/main.py at e361bb9514cad7c187bbe0fcc77b233b18c34d3c · ankitects/anki · GitHub

Thanks!
And why do you actually need it? Why is it not possible to perform a reading every time there is a change that requires refreshing?

Probably to react to time-dependent changes like cards becoming due or the clock rolling over to the next day.
