Error message with image occlusion

[user1234]

I have been getting an error message with anki. When the message appears I am usually making an image occlusion card. The error message appears and then anki freezes and the only way for me to do anything is to force quit the app. I have already tried restarting my mac, deleting unnecessary add-ons, updating anki, checking anki database, force syncing in 1 direction, and deleting and re-installing my add-ons (I only have image occlusion and heat map). This is the message I recieve and the debug info:

Anki 23.12.1 (1a1d4d54) (ao)

Help appreciated!

On the Image Occlusion Enhanced add-on page, someone reported this same error on 2023-11-11.

A note for the add-on’s author @glutanimate : the same error in a thread from a couple of years ago got this response from dae:

DeckChooser has a cleanup() method that should be called before you close the window containing it, or it will keep receiving messages even after it has been partially destroyed.

[user1234]

Thanks for your response. Where do I find cleanup/deck chooser to fix this issue? I’m confused on where to put cleanup()

[sprvlcn]

I don’t know. I haven’t looked at the source code of this add-on, and I have no more information than the one paragraph that was quoted above.

It was mostly just intended as a heads-up for the add-on author in case he wasn’t aware of that older thread from two years ago. The add-on’s author could quickly take a look and assess if this potential fix is applicable.

I sent a fix for this about two years ago, but no update was released since then:

Fix error caused by missing cleanup() call

[glutanimate]

Thanks for the fix back then, @abdo. It’s definitely not great that this isn’t available on AnkiWeb, yet. IOE is in a weird transitional state at the moment, caught between native IO and ongoing development on the rewrite of the add-on.

I am planning on updating the listing soon with a (mostly) bug fix release. Until then, uninstalling the version you have currently installed and then installing the latest test release from GitHub should fix the issue you’ve been seeing @user1234.
