Support thread for [Edited Media Files Auto-Sync](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1291350684), not that there’s much need for support. This is an extremely simple addon for making it easier to sync changes made to any media files. # Use case If you’re like me and have various javascript files in your collection.media folder that you edit frequently, it’s tedious to have to do the file renaming trick to get Anki to upload the edited files to AnkiWeb. This addon makes that process automatic. No UI or config needed ---

It’s more complicated than it needs to be. Just bump the mtime on the collection.media folder, and Anki will look for changes. ---

Way more complicated indeed! The addon now works exactly like I wanted it to initially and requires no config, so thanks for the tip!
