May be you want to have a "add" window for each type of Note, so you won't have to regularly change note type.
Maybe you want to see simultaneusly the result of multiple searchs in the browser.
May be you started a note. Then you have an idea for another note, but don't want to submit the first note already. Thus you need to note adders.
May be you want to see multiple time the about window (even if I must confess I don't understand why you would want that). Anyway, this add-on allow you to open most windows multiple time.
To open a new window of a kind, just do what you need to open the window.
If you want that some kind of window is opened only once, read section "configuration"
In the map "multiple", add «, "windowName" : false», where windowName is the name of the window you want to see open only once.
It may be the case that when you change the configuration about a window which is already opened, you'll see a message error. It should not create real trouble. Please report otherwise.
All opened «AddCards» must have the same note type. This is a big restriction, which I hope to be able to solve.
This may only works with windows which uses aqt's dialog manager. In general, they are big windows, whose have no direct effect on the window calling it. I.e. it won't work with a prompt asking you to confirm/cancel something, or to say «ok». It should work with the browser.
This add-on redefine:
aqt.__init__'s classDialogManager. More precisely, the new class inherits from the last one. When a window may be opened a single time, the former method is called.aqt.editcurrent's methodEditCurrent.__init__. More precisely, the new method call the old method, and then do more things.
The most standard windows name are:
- AddCards
- Browser
- EditCurrent
- DeckStats
- About
- Preferences
By default, you can't open the two last ones more than once. Because this would make no sens. You can change the configuration if for some reason you want to do it.
- Allowing distinct note type in different add windows.
Please use add-on Multiple 'Add' and 'Browser' Windows, with addon numbers instead.
