Pop-up Dictionary v1.0.0-beta.1 Announcement (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

As promised here is the first of many add-on releases that will be part of this year's back-to-school add-on extravaganza.

v1.0.0-beta.1 marks a milestone release that comes with a number of major new features and changes for the add-on. Most importantly of all, I've rewritten major parts of the add-on to both make it more future-proof with upcoming Anki releases and eliminate a lot of the conflicts with other add-ons and deck styling that the pop-ups would run into.

The full changelog follows below:

Added



  • Added suport for modern Anki versions (tested up to Anki 2.1.46)
  • The add-on now sports a sleek new pop-up design and effects, optimized both for light mode and dark mode
  • Searches can now also be triggered by selecting a phrase and right-clicking
  • Added an option to exclude new notes from snippet results (thanks to @zjosua!)

Fixed

  • Changed the default add-on hotkey to "Alt+Shift+D" (⌥+⇧+D on macOS) to avoid a conflict with default key bindings on Anki 2.1.41 and up
  • Fixed an issue that would cause an error when opening cards in the browser (thanks to @Nanco300 for the report!)
  • Fixed an issue that would cause images within the pop-ups to not be sized correctly (thanks to @padenw24 for the report!)
  • Made the add-on more resilient against conflicts with user-made deck styling
  • Made the add-on more resilient against conflicts with other add-ons (tested against the top 200 most popular add-ons)

Changed

  • Refactored major parts of the add-on, making it more robust and future-proof
  • Dropped support for older Anki versions. The minimum supported version is now 2.1.23.
  • Upgraded qTip2 to v3.0.3. This should hopefully fix a number of bugs with the pop-ups and make for an overall smoother user experience (thanks to @ansaso!)

---------------

Unfamiliar with how Pop-up Dictionary works? Then make sure to check AnKing's tutorial  out (it's a bit older, but still does a great job of showing all the basics).

Ready to give the new release a try? Then make sure to look-out for the download post that will be coming up in a second for everyone at the Add-on Aficionado support tier and up!

Have fun!

Hey! Is there a version that works with the most recent version of anki?

Is it possible to somehow align everything in the pop up window left instead of centered. I tried changing the style of the dictionary note type but that didn't change anything. Thanks in advance! :) (In case it's important Anki 2.1.49)

You know what I'd like to see @glutaminate implemented, add the ability to put a tag on all the items that come up on the Pop-up. Then creating filtered decks from such word/s is as easy as pie. For example, I'm search SIADH and boom all my cards across all decks would be populated via the Pop-up and then let the Pop-up give me the ability to add a tag to all items it found in its search. Then create filtered deck and boom, very powerful feature.
