Compatibility with recent versions of Anki

[rwmpelstilzchen]

Dear @ccz-2,

The problem with versions >2.1.45 of Anki (whatever it was) seems to be solved in later versions. Changing the version limit meta.json allows users to use the add-on without any problems, apart from the need to change the file every once in a while (Anki resets it). Since there has been no reaction on your side regarding this issue¹, I think about creating a fork with correct meta.json information. As the add-on works fine, this suboptimal solution can be easily avoided by you updating the add-on so it will not be automatically disabled by Anki.

With great appreciation to the work you have done,
Júda

¹ I hope you are well and there is no external issue (e.g. health) that prevents you from updating the add-on. If there is, I hope everything gets better soon ^_^

I does not work indeed.

rwmpelstilzchen : could you let me know how I can use your branch to make it work? I have never used Github but it seems that I can't just download your branch and use an installer within it (there is none). Could you help me with a way to make this work? I have no knowledge in code or Github.

I managed to make it work in the end.
It is a fantastic add-on!

Would you mind briefly sharing the steps to compile the addon from the branch of @rwmpelstilzchen ?

How?

How?

Go to her/his fork: https://github.com/rwmpelstilzchen/No-Distractions-Full-Screen
Click the "Code" button and download everything as a zip-file. Extract the folder after downloading.
Copy the extracted folder (by default it's named "No-Distractions-Full-Screen-master" but any foldername without spaces will work) to where Anki-Addons are stored (for me that's C:\Users\Jonas\AppData\Roaming\Anki2\addons21). You can find out by going to the Addon-settings in Anki and click "View files". Restart Anki after copying and the addon should appear in your addon overview.

Man, I got it! thank you so much! I just honestly made an account just to thank you LOL! thanks again. The thing was I did not know where to download the code, and you gave it with the instructions as well! That's amazingly insane!

@jwdevelab You can also just download NDFS.ankiaddon file from that fork and open it directly with Anki.

2.1.50 beta 4 seems to break addon functionality even with rwmpelstilzchen's fork.

[mobedoor]

Issue seemed to be with toolbar.py. Luckily I found an updated version of the same in another addon by @ijgnd. I forked and updated the ankiaddon file here. I'm not a coder so I can't offer any support. It works for me on Linux.

[rwmpelstilzchen]

@mobedoor: Great to hear! Thanks 🙂

This repo and the corresponding page on AnkiWeb don’t seem to be maintained anymore. Do you want to make your fork available on AnkiWeb, so people will be able to install it easily?

I suggest enabling issues on GitHub. I have a small issue to submit (NDFS doesn’t play well with Anki Zoom on 2.1.50, because Anki Zoom doesn’t work well on 2.1.50…).

[mobedoor]

@rwmpelstilzchen Replied to you on the Anki Zoom page. I'll check to see if I can open issues, but again, not a coder so I can't offer much support.

[rwmpelstilzchen]

Thanks! :-)

Issues are of course not just for support. They can be a place to discuss certain... well... issues, which can result in other people offering pull requests for solving them.
