Does not work with Anki 25.09.2 for windows.

Very nice, works with Anki Version 25.09.2 (build 3890e12c), running Python 3.13.5, Qt 6.9.1, Chromium 122. A lot of the legacy extensions break with the current Anki / updated anki version.

Worked with Anki 25.02 Fix the issue of opening the config form add-ons window.

1. Open add-ons files and edit this file /2143302836/config_ui.py

2. Change line 187 to self.button_box = QDialogButtonBox(QDialogButtonBox.StandardButton.Ok | QDialogButtonBox.StandardButton.Cancel)

3. Change line 307 to dialog.exec() Comment from author Thank you for the information. I’ve revised the addon with your comment as a reference.

I haven’t been using Anki recently and I’m not currently using version 2

After doing this add-on, my Anki stopped working, and I restarted my computer multiple times, deleted Anki/redownloaded it. For the life of me, I could not get it to work and eventually had to hold shift while opening the app. Then, once I finally got into it, I deleted this addon. Even after deleting it still had issues and had to revert back to a backup from earlier in the day to undo the damages. DO NOT use this add-on Comment from author I’m very sorry to hear about the situation you encount
