Update deck overview after import

guido.flohr · December 13, 2023, 7:16am

I modify a collection with add_note/update_note/remove_notes in the background. How can I update the deck overview after a successful import so that it displays the new number of cards?

Best practice is to use the CollectionOp wrappers in aqt.operations so that affected screens are automatically refreshed for you.
https://addon-docs.ankiweb.net/background-ops.html#collection-operations

If you’re not able to use CollectionOp for reasons such as wanting to support older Anki versions, adding a call to .mw.reset() will probably work.

I have overread that.

I opted for mw.reset() because CollectionOp does not have a success handler and I want to display a summary of the changed objects at the end of the operation. Thanks for the hint!

You can pass a success handler to the .success() method:

                  OpChangesOnly,
                  OpChangesWithCount,
                  OpChangesWithId,
                  OpChangesAfterUndo,
                  ImportLogWithChanges,
                  HasChangesProperty,
              ],
          )
          
          
          class CollectionOp(Generic[ResultWithChanges]):
              """Helper to perform a mutating DB operation on a background thread, and update UI.
          
              `op` should either return OpChanges, or an object with a 'changes'
              property. The changes will be passed to `operation_did_execute` so that
              the UI can decide whether it needs to update itself.
          
              - Shows progress popup for the duration of the op.
              - Ensures the browser doesn't try to redraw during the operation, which can lead
              to a frozen UI
              - Updates undo state at the end of the operation

Thanks! I will give it another try.
