If you have a problem with the add-on Quick note and deck buttons (Fork for 2.1) post in this thread. This way I get notified. If you make a new thread I will likely miss it. If you post your comment, question or bug report on ankiweb as a review I won’t get notified. You really should post in this thread.
I am facing an issue with displaying the config file of this add-on in my add-on-browser.
I already reinstalled the add-on. The file “config.md” is present in the add-on-folder but it is not being displayed in the add-on-browser. The button “Config” is greyed out.
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Lukas
I don’t fully understand your post.
To make sure we use the same terms:
In the Anki main window there’s a menu bar named “Tools” and in it there’s an option “Add-ons”. When you click it a new dialog opens titled “Add-ons” (add-on dialog). This dialog shows list of all your add-ons installed.
After installing the add-on with the number “1331140127” there should be an entry “Quick note and deck buttons (Fork for 2.1)”.
Question 1: Do you see this? When you double click this entry does another window open? When you select this entry can you click “Config”?
In this additional config window for one add-on you’ll see your config on the left (which is stored in two different files in your add-on folder named config.json and meta.json). On the right you see the contents of a config.md (if present).
Question 2: From the main window click on Help->About. In the window that opens click the “Copy Debug Info” Button and share the copied text.
Question 3: If you are not on the latest Anki version 2.1.26 update and try again. Also disable all other add-ons and restart to rule out an interference. Does this help? My add-on should work on older versions but I only care about the Anki version I use (which is 2.1.26 at the moment).

your screenshot is too small and doesn’t show your whole config. So I can’t help.
Go to line 40 of your config. There’s an error.
general remarks: Your config must be a valid “json” file. So you could google “syntax json” or something for a short introduction which will help will all add-ons in the future. There are also websites where you can paste your json code which highlight invalid parts which makes it easier to fix it.
In general:
- Closely look how it’s done in the default config
- Usually all settings must be surrounded with
""(quote signs). There are some exceptions: The boolean values true/false (lowercase) and numbers. But a few add-ons have counterexceptions where you must also quote numbers. But then rule 1 helps. - json holds key-value pairs that can be nested. As values you can also have list and other key-value pairs. In general at the end of each pair you must have a comma. Exception: Trailing commas are not allowed.
- all opening square bracket
[and curly braces{must have a closing counterpart]or}.

I’m having issues editing the lines of code for this add-on. I apologize ahead of time if this is way simple but I have no background in this and I already spent a couple hours trying to figure this out…
When ever I change around the config.md file (even just a single character sometimes) I get a message - “Invalid configuration: JSONDecodeError(‘Expecting value: line ## column ## (char ###)’)”. This message of course varies depending where and what I change but it seems I get it no matter what I do.
What am I doing wrong? I’ve seen some examples and even added a “u” before some deck names, because I use an @ symbol for names sometimes, but no success.
@gun123: in Anki 2.1 in the add-on config window in effect you edit a so-called json-file.You could google for a webpage where you get a description of the rules for json written by someone who speaks English natively and professionally writes understandable documentation … There are also validators that show more info about json code you paste to them. Maybe their messages are more useful than what Anki shows you. Google for “validate json”.
For another add-on I recently wrote: multiline setting issue in 2.1.22 · Issue #13 · ijgnd/anki__BetterSearch · GitHub Maybe there’s something useful in it.
Without seeing the config I can’t say where your problem is, maybe it’s just one comma in the wrong place, etc. I’m very busy at the moment so I’ll probably only check this forum again next weekend.
added a “u” before some deck names
This won’t help here: Adding a “u” was only needed in the old Anki 2.0 where as a user you set your config in python files and python2 didn’t handle non-English characters unless you prefixed a string with a “u”. Now you set json files (and Anki 2.1 internally uses python3).
This helped so much!!! Thank you. I used an online validator to find my formatting errors.
Hello, I noticed a little problem
if you use the addon’s change note type button while a field is not empty the content of this field will be transferred to whichever field is in the same position in the second note type, while Anki’s default change note type button instead checks if there is any field with the same name even and if so moves the content to that one
@jcznk: I added a reminder to my todo list. I’m busy so fixing this might take some time.
I need more info: In the main window click menu bar click on “Help”, then “About”. In the window that opens click the button “Copy Debug Info” at the bottom. This copies useful info about your setup to your clipboard. Share this here.

@savage: I uploaded a new version for 2.1.41. I think a small fix was enough. If you find problems let me know.
Could you adapt to the latest version(2.1.43)? I cannot live without this add-on, please.
I just adjusted the compatibility info so it should work with .43 now. There were some changes recently that should break my add-on - maybe they were postponed to .44.
Well, it cannot use again in 2.1.44 indeed…
44 is a mostly the same as 43 so I didn’t change my addon. When I set the limit to <43 many weeks ago it looked like the big breaking changes that are now in 45 would already arrive in 44.
I have no idea why my add-on is not offered as an update. maybe reinstall it (and maybe delete the old version before it - if you delete make sure to save/store your custom config elsewhere).
Any plans to update this add-on to the anki version 2.1.46? Thank you for you good work, I love this add-on.
plans yes, time no. At the moment I don’t expect to have an update in the coming weeks/months. If someone else has working code I’m happy to merge and release it.
