Hello Anki Lovers!
My computer was hacked and wiped clean! I was able to retrieve my cards/decks, but NOT my past add-ons. Is there a way to re-download past add-ons or see what the names or codes of the add-ons were?
Thank you Anki Lovers!
you would have to have this addon before formatting
Addons Code Exporter Fixed Backup
This is a corrected and improved version of the Addons Code Exporter addon.
This addon aims to save all the numbers of your addons in the collection.media folder. If you have to format your PC, it can be useful.
Note: It does not recover the addons, it only informs the numbers of the addons that you have or had, so if a developer deletes an addon, the number of this addon will no longer be available.
Tools > Anki Addon Code Export > a dialog box will open and you can click on export.
After clicking on export, it will show all the numbers of the addons that you have and you can click on copy to copy them. In addition, a file called _addons.txt will be created with all the numbers of the addons in the collection.media folder of this profile.
Synchronize so that the file stays there.
When you format your PC and install Anki, go to the collection.media folder of Anki. To go there, follow the steps below.
Click on the magnifying glass next to the start button or Windows+R > type %appdata% and press Enter > Anki2 > click on your username > collection.media > search for _addons.txt and open it. All the numbers of your addons will be there before formatting.

Thank you so much eroscard! I’ll get that add-on! I greatly appreciate the time you took to not just respond but to also give such detail!
Thanks again!
