I have revived my (and Arthur’s) multi-column note editor add-on to be compatible with the current release of Anki (24.11).
Let’s call this a beta release. There are still a few things to improve (see TODO list on github). Feedback welcome.
–
This version is a complete re-write, and the internals are much nicer and simpler. Compared to the previous versions, this one:
- Relies entirely on CSS grid and a few attributes. It does not shuffle elements around so there is no risk of mangling field data (the old one destroyed tables for example).
- Should play nicely with other add-ons
- Has no external configuration. 18 columns max. Column settings persist per note type for all windows. Per-window settings feels dubious, so I didn’t add it
- Settings are stored inside the collection. I think it syncs. I haven’t tried.
I’ve tested this on 1 computer running the latest Anki so I don’t know if it even works. You let me know.
The old version of this add-on I couldn’t repair because it needed a complete rewrite as you say.
