Problem with the hook 'main_window_did_init'

anon75804304 · June 13, 2021, 1:04am

I need to run a query to check the due cards. That’s okay and it’s working. However, this code iniates whenever the first anki window opens, not the main window. Meaning if someone has multiple profiles, the code throws an error in the profile choosing window because it’s running a query on a database that hasn’t been chosen yet. How can I fix this and run my code only once the user choses his profile and/or the main window is fully open?

The profile_did_open hook is suitable for these cases.

              This hook can be used to change the behavior of the main window,
              when other dialogs, like the AddCards or Browser, require a reset
              from the main window.
              If you decide to use this hook, make you sure you check the reason for the reset.
              Some reasons require more attention than others, and skipping important ones might
              put the main window into an invalid state (e.g. display a deleted note).

              Please note that this hook will also be called on profile switches, so if you
              are looking to simply delay an add-on action in a single-shot manner,
              `main_window_did_init` is likely the more suitable choice.
