Templates Import / Export - AnkiWeb needs an Anki 23 fix.

Actually the fix (a couple of lines) can be found in a pull request at the “Contact Author” GitHub site. The author has not responded.

(A broader pre-existing issue with this add-on is that it maps Note names and Card names to a directory tree, but sometimes these will not be legal file names in a given operating system. Especially, the character : is not legal in Windows filenames. But that’s beyond the scope of a simple fix for Anki23.)

I uploaded it to AnkiWeb.

@noty What is broken?

Runs fine in mine (23.12.1) and there isn’t a negative comment in the page or forum nor an issue in their Github

As NameLessGO says, this add-on does not seem to be broken, and the original author is also active.

If you are having any problems, it may be that some other Add-ons are interfering.
Try turning off all Add-ons except “Sidebar table” and see if the problem recurs.

Hmmm, I looked into this add-on, but it seems to work fine on my device and the latest Anki.

Is updating “Bury related notes” from V2 to V3 scheduler difficult?

The Qt5/6 issue is fixed by simply replacing the PyQt5 imports with PyQt6 imports, just like with “Copy notes”.

Updating from V2 to V3 is difficult, I still don’t understand how the scheduler works.

The list of what can and cannot be repaired is on this page (It may change later). There is also info about repaired and failed add-ons.

And add-ons by popular authors can easily fail to be repaired because they are advanced. For example, I have tried several times to repair add-ons for Henrik Giesel and Arthur Milchior but failed. It may be possible in the future, but it may be easier to develop new add-ons than to repair them.

The link to the related add-on at https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/800604861 is to the same page.

Thanks, I corrected it.

Shige, could you please ️allow for the answer timer to show when using No Distractions Full Screen add-on? In the demo gifs it’s shown as working with the add-on, but I don’t think it’s actually supported right now? It would be really useful (and since the answer timer is minimal by default I don’t think it adds much distraction either). Appreciate the work!

Hi thanks for reporting the problem. As you say the original Gif has a timer, so I may have forgotten to fix it, I’ll look into it.

Shige, I am having trouble using “Closet for Anki” add-on with the cloze short cut. I use the closet add on for IO one by one. Whenever I switch to a normal cloze card type and use the cloze short cut I get the error. After words I can technically use the closet add on but after I make all my boxes and click “accept occlusions” the occlusions do not save in the IO field. The work around I am using is to make all my IO cards first, then my cloze cards. Closet is needed for IO one by one and anki official has no work arounds. I know the author has not been active since around 2022. Hopefully you can make a burnout students studying more efficient lol. Thank you in advance (even if you cant fix it :smile: )

Hi thanks for the request! I’ve received several requests for Closet for Anki, but it’s one of the add-ons that is a bit difficult to fix. I’m looking into the code but it may take some more time.

In any case I recommend that you report the problem to the author and request a fix. The author of this add-on has not been active in the community recently, but he works for an Anki third-party company (Migaku, language learning). He should be up to date on the latest Anki code and is likely to resume his activities in the future.

Hey Shige, I created a Group on the Anki Leaderboard add on but I am not able to remove a particular User from that group. When I try to remove the User it says “Ban User Error, You are not Admin of the Group”. And when I try to make myself admin of the group it says “Manage Group Error”. Could you direct me on I can remove a User. Also are you able to change the Flag of Syria to the current one? Thanks for all that you do
