Hi I think this add-on is great and it helps me to use Anki in a certain way. I am currently thinking about switching to Anki in my studies. Do you plan to keep on updating this add-on for future versions of the software? Will this stay compatible with the qt5 Version ? I am on Mac silicon but need to use the qt5 version since version 6 runs very laggy here. Best Regards ---

Hi, Thank you for your praise. I’m surprised that you find the Qt6 version buggy - are you running one of the newer versions of anki that have Qt6 support on Apple Silicon (rather than an Intel version)? see: [https://apps.ankiweb.net/](https://apps.ankiweb.net/) for download links. I myself am running Anki Qt6 Apple Silicon and face no lag. However, if you still are facing issues then please reply to this again and I will see if I can dig up the old code. Even if not, it should only be a few lines of code different between the Qt5/Qt6 versions. edit: tagging you @klau in case a reply does not notify you by default - Sam ---

Hi, I used the qt 6 and for some reason anki was laggy on the whole. However, rendered browser works on qt 5 perfectly. In my case, way better than on qt 6. I was wondering if this is due to me having used Rosetta in the past for the old Anki versions? Do you think that this add-on will stay compatible with qt 5? And if I understand you correctly, you intend to care for that add-on in the future? best ---

Hi, A very basic question, sorry. How do I access the add-on? I added it to my Desktop Anki but can’t figure out how to use it. I am expecting the option for an additional Browser window but don’t see it anywhere. Thanks and regards, Johan ---

Hi Johan. If you take a look at the 3rd screenshot on the [add-on page](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/993394845), there should be a ‘render’ button next to the cog icon to the right of each deck name. I haven’t tested the add-on in a long time so there is a chance it could be missing. - Sam ---

Hi Sam, Thank you for the quick response. I was blind sorry. It does not work though, but I’m using the updated version by “Shige”, which does work as you intended. Thanks for a very useful addon. Regards, Johan ---

Hi Jasmin, Nice to see people are still using my add-on from 5 years ago. I’ve pushed an update which should fix it. Either close and reopen Anki, or navigate to Tools→Add-ons→Check for Updates. I’d appreciate if you could verify that it works for you now. I might look into rewriting this add-on soon to improve it 🙂 Best, Sam ---

Thank you!! Now it is working! It’s just a little “buggy”: windows are opening and closing really fast for every rendered card, but I can live with that 🙂
