Description
Important Announcement! A reworked version of Pop-up Dictionary that supports newer versions of Anki is now available for testing on my Patreon. Make sure to check it out!
------------------------------------------------
This is the official beta for the Pop-up Dictionary add-on.
Pop-up Dictionary allows you to quickly draw up related facts from your card collection, just by double-clicking on words or phrases:
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THIS RELEASE
This is an early beta release. I usually do not upload add-ons to AnkiWeb this early into development, but because other users were starting to upload broken old copies of the add-on (with no attribution no less), my hand was forced. Please do not report bugs or issues through the review section below. Instead, please use the official bug tracker for your feedback.
Before doing so, there are some known issues in the current beta release that you need to be aware of:
- Incompatibilities with other add-ons: At the moment there appear to be some issues with other add-ons that also modify the Reviewer in some significant fashion or another. The most important to mention is an incompatibility with Night Mode on Anki 2.1. As a temporary workaround, you can disable Night Mode's Reviewer styling by heading to View → Night Mode → Choose what to Style, and unchecking Reviewer Cards.
- Pop-up not always appearing: There appear to be some issues with the pop-up not always appearing when double clicking on a word or phrase. In those instances you might want to use the hotkey instead (Ctrl+Shift+D).
- Hotkey not working: On some systems the hotkey might conflict with global key assignments. In those instances feel free to customize the hotkey by using Anki 2.1's add-on config screen.
- Added footer to tooltip
- Updated packaging scheme to simplify installation process

Seems really useful (can't use it without downgrading) just left this here to outweigh those downvotes as I want to support this addion instead of demotivating the author
on
amazing , works in 2.1.54 but u have to install it manually
on
i wish gultanimate never existed, he brought all these wonderful addons, took loads of money from patreons, and then left anki and the addons to rot as they are now unusable
.

Thanks, man! I appreciate your work. I can't support you by being a patreon bc I live in a country with an average inflation rate of +200% per year and I don't have a job right now. But I want you to know that you're helping people all over the wolrd. My deepest gratitude from Argentina

Thank you so much!

This is probably the best anki add-on I've ever downloaded. Makes linking concepts and ideas effortless.
Note: You HAVE to use the link from glutanimate and follow the instructions in the other comments. Sounds like a lot but it's not. Takes 5 minutes and it works.

Invalid code
Comment from author
Hi there, the version uploaded here is only compatible up to Anki 2.1.40. Unfortunately Anki's error message for that is not super clear (showing the same error both for add-ons that do not exist, i.e. have an invalid code, and ones that are not supported on your Anki version).
In any case, I'm planning on updating the listing here soon.

It's really not difficult, if an addon doesn't work on your version, change your version.
I don't imagine anyone who downvoted will take the time to change their vote after this addon works again. All that does is makes the addon less prominent in the addons list, which means less people will use it. In effect, you're messing up the community all because you can't put in a bit of effort to change something within your control. If you READ the description, the developer said he didn't event want to share this addon before it was ready, but people stole his work. Honestly, for people who are trying to better themselves, you're all so incredibly dumb.
Great addon, thank you!

Awesome add on, but I have a simple cuestion.... Is there a way that it automatically bold the words into the diccionary? Cause when I´m studying I don´t see the difference into the normal words and the definitions I already added on.
on
I just downloaded it 1 minute ago, and I already love it. Thank you!
on
I think this might be my favourite addon to date, and that's really saying something!
One thing that's really awesome, is that you can continue to add popups in a nested way, following a trail of ideas, and they all stay up and you can easily switch focus among them. Incredibly useful!

Nice to have !

The add-on which cause conflict was "Replay buttons on card", consider to disable it, guys: 498789867(https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/498789867)
Beside that,
1) this add-on is as perfect as it seems
2) doesn't need any aditional dictionaries

This addon is awesome. That's helpful!!
"It's a great add-on, but when I click on the arrow on the right side in the bottom corner to leads me to the entry, the browser opens and didn't the specific entry for me, instead shows a warning window: "Invalid search - please check for typing mistakes"! Then I click the OK of warning window, and the deck of the list of that specific word I clicked, is empty and blank.
Why it happens, while I have those entries that I clicked on the arrow from pop-up? I like to by clicking, it takes me to word or entry I choose in the deck list. but it doesn't."

Worked really well when I tested it out, very cool idea and it seems very useful. Doesn't work with MIA Japanese for some reason though so I won't be using it.

It's a wonderful add-on but it interferes with another add-on named "Edit field during review" :(

Excellent, thank you.

Top Notch!! Incompatible with MIA Japanese Addon!

Great!!!!!!! I just wish if we were able to resize the window size & or font, plus be able to enrol a card from pop up to the current cards we are doing and continue. That would be awesome.
Comment from author
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you like the add-on! Both customizing the pop-up and placing the card into the queue definitely sound like cool features to have. I can't promise anything because I'm really short on time at the moment, but I've jotted both ideas down as things to look into for the future. Thanks for the great suggestions!
on
Fantastic! Thank you

Amazing!!!

Great!

very useful
on
excellent add-on, thanks
on
Very good but, is there an option where you select the decks you want the dictionary to work on? And not just just in the current dictionary or in all of them. I didn't quite understand the settings.
on
It's really been useful for me ...., For those people where this add-onn ain't seem to working after some time, it might be due to add on you put after this , so , what you should be doing is delete in your add ons and then get it back from the code from this source and then check , it'll start working again ....,
Request to the author: Could you please an option wherin we can search for any word randomly ?? Hope You fulfill this request .., Thanks !!

Great add-on, works fine for me. You can use the built-in night mode feature in ANKI 2.1 to avoid incompatibility with the night-mode plug-in. There is only a single bug I have encountered which happens when browsing the popped-up cards in the ANKI card browser. It searches with the card id in which the search format should be as follows:
nid:CARD_ID_HERE
Instead, it adds quotation marks around the card id which fails the search. The solution is by following these steps:
1- Tools -> Add-ons -> Pop-up Dictionary Beta
2- Then press "View Files" button
3- Open the file named "main.py" in any text editor (notepad can work)
4- Go to line 246
5- Replace it with the following code:
browser.form.searchEdit.lineEdit().setText("nid:{}".format(nid))
Good Luck

I have the exact same problem reported recently on this add-on Github: when I click to see the related card, it pops up a warning saying: "Invalid search - please check for typing mistakes". I tried it on different profiles and with all add-ons disabled. I still think it's great so I rate it positively.

Great add-on, thank you!

Amazing tool, thanks!!

many incompatibilities with others add-ons
Comment from author
Please note that these incompatibilities are not caused by Pop-up Dictionary, but the other add-ons. I've submitted more than 8 (!) patches to other add-ons which were using Anki's add-on API incorrectly, thus causing these incompatibilities. Just look at all the referenced issue reports / patches at the bottom here: https://github.com/ankitects/anki/pull/228. Some authors unfortunately did not update their add-ons with my patches, and so you have the current situation.
Beyond that I've also worked on improving things on Anki's side to make it easier for add-on authors to write add-ons that do not conflict with each other. This should eliminate issues like this in the future, but only once other add-on authors adopt the changes.
So in light of all of this, reading your review is super frustrating. I have quite literally done everything I can on my end. (Not to mention that reviews are not the right place to report issues, as mentioned in the add-on description above and on the page where you wrote your review.)

First off, thank you for your work, this addon is very handy. It's become an invaluable tool in my workflow.
Secondly, I'm currently having some problems with the addon. When I first installed it, it worked when I double click. Now, it doesn't (as in, the dictionary doesn't pop up, nothing happens). I also tried the shortcut, turning off anki's built-in dark mode, re-enabling the addon, even went so far as reinstalling it. Nothing works. One difference I can think of is when it worked I didn't have nearly as many addons installed, could it be that some other addon I installed is causing this behavior? Do you have any clue why this is happening?
Edit: Alright, I've followed through with the assumption that some addon was causing this behavior and turns out, I was right. It seems like an addon called MIA Japanese was causing the problem. Simply disabling it allowed the pop up dictionary to work like it should. If it's not too much trouble, I propose support for the MIA Japanese addon. I will post this issue on github to get your attention.

It doesn't work in Anki 2.1.22
Comment from author
Sure does over here! (and for many other users) Feel free to shoot me an email at ankiglutanimate@gmail.com to dig into what's causing the add-on not to work on your particular set-up (or create a bug report on the bug tracker / Anki add-on support forums as mentioned above). Thanks!
on
Excellent! is there a way to disbale clicking and only allow hotkey?
on
Works with 2.1.21! You're a star.
on
Really helpful for context.

its my first time to login ankiweb for the reason of ratting "Rate Pop-up Dictionary" 5 starts!!

I want to search "debit", but it shows the nearby word "credit". I want to search "debit" in the credit's definition again, but it shows the word "insufficient". Ummm~~

Hi. There is not much I can do without more information about your deck. From the sounds of it, the notes that are drawn up contain those terms somewhere on them. If not then that would highly surprise me since the add-on looks for exact text matches. But as mentioned in the add-on description above, I can only help you if you report an issue via the bug tracker (https://github.com/glutanimate/popup-dictionary/issues), add-on support forums (https://anki.tenderapp.com/discussions/add-ons), or send me an email at ankiglutanimate@gmail.com . It's nice that you are a fellow Ubuntu user, but unfortunately that alone is not nearly enough information for me to be able to help you. Troubleshooting through the AnkiWeb review section is basically impossible since it does not allow for back and forth writing. Please get in touch with me through one of the three ways listed above, and we can continue from there.

Incompatible with "Replay buttons on card". The addon is still on its beta version and seems doesn't make a great difference and I prefer to use browser.

Thanks so much

Really nice! I only wish there was a way for it to only show exact results (if I search for "lys" I do not want results about "emoLYSin")
Is there a way to do so?

Love this app, but can anyone confirm if it works with the new AMBOSS addon?
Comment from author before post was edited
It should work with the AMBOSS add-on (as I helped build that). But it's kind of weird to submit a thumbs-down here for a potential incompatibility with an add-on that is still in closed beta testing. If I was just a random add-on dev who wasn't on the AMBOSS team, how would I be able to test the two add-ons together? Either way, in a situation like this, I feel my message above on how to get support rings even more true:

So please, do consider updating your review and sending me an email instead. Otherwise this review will stick to the add-on forever, which is really uncool :(

One of the most useful add-ons that I'm currently using. This completely changes the way I study and increased my retention. Thank you Glutaminate, you are a god send.

amazing add-on

Great, that's what I always wanted

love this

Great job as usual. Regarding the incompatibility with Night Mode, this is the solution for me: https://zerowidthjoiner.net/negativescreen. You will get "intelligent" night mode all throughout Windows with a host of options including dark room mode, negative red... for a scarce 6.2 Mb memory footprint. Good study to all.

Great addon! Seems to work very well and I haven't encountered any issues yet.
I'm not sure why it's called a dictionary though. It doesn't provide definitions from online/offline dictionaries. It functions by connecting the word or phrase you've selected to flashcards within your collection which also contain that word or phrase. Anyway, it does that well so no complaints!

Awesome.
Edited: Some people report that their pop-up dictionary don't work, and I think I found one of that reason. This happens in asian characters, or maybe non-latin characters, since many of nouns, in asian language, are short. There are so many situation that I have to search 2 letter words, or only 1 letter words.
So tweaking code helps this situation. Open web.py in addon directory and ctrl+f for term.length . default is 3. change it to 1. problem solved. you can now search 2-letter word or 1 letter word in your Pop-up dictionary.
It'll be nice if I can adjust threshold in config. I wrote a request in github page.

wow! amazing!

Stopped working after installing many other add-ons. I disabled all of them, then re-enabled them 5 at a time to narrow down which were causing the dictionary to not work. Turns out re-enabling them like this fixed this issue and I am now able to use all add-ons.
Not a great fix, but a fix.
Edit: nevermind, it stopped working again
Edit2: I'm sorry I used reviews incorrectly! I read the info about reporting issues when I installed, but didn't think to re-read the page when I came to try and give info for other users to use. I appreciate all the work you do for the community @Glutaminate and will send proper information when I get a free moment :)

Thank you very much for your help :) This tool is AMAZING!!
on
Great addon! The only thing I did not like was the fact that sometimes the pop up window pops up on the edge of my screen, so the window ends up being too narrow and that can be annoying sometimes. Giving us the ability to move & resize the window that pops up would solve this issue.
on
Great

This doesn't work while Replay buttons on card (https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/498789867) enables . Please fix it!!

This is a great add-on that helps a lot with finding linked cards and making the right connections while reviewing/studying. A very useful add-on, thanks a lot!

double clicking, or using any of the hotkeys has no effect. (night mode disabled like suggested)
seems like a great plugin but something is stopping it from working at all. It's not clear if it's being triggered and not finding anything or not being triggered at all. nothing happens. It would be good if there was an option in the right click menu to trigger the plugin, so you could at least see it had installed and was trying to work.

Sorry to hear that the add-on isn't working well for you.

Alternatively you can also use the contact e-mail in the description above.
Despite being in beta still, Pop-up Dictionary does seem to be working fine for the large majority of users. Understanding why it doesn't work in cases like yours is important, but does require more information about your system, Anki version, other add-ons, the types of decks you're using, etc.

Great way to give a card context during your review by referencing others in the deck.
on
Incredible. One of my favorites for sure. Is there a way to make the popup window larger? I know you can change the font size but it would be even better if you could increase the size of the entire window.
Comment from author
Thanks! Glad you enjoy the add-on. Great feedback about the pop-up size! I've added it to my to-do list: https://github.com/glutanimate/popup-dictionary/issues/14

Finally, an official release! This add-on is a game changer, and it should be a native feature of Anki. Thank you, Aristotelis, for one more great contribution to the Anki community! (PS* Everyone who's an Anki lover should become a Patreon of his). Cheers!
Edit1*: I'm not sure what is happening with the add-on and Anki for macOS High Sierra - 2.1.11. The add-on suddenly stops working (double-clicking or pressing cmd+shift+d). I'll try to identify what is causing the issue and whether if it goes away with a simple restart on Anki or whatever before I submit an issue to GitHub - so it is reproducible).

great

Great tool! Only thing is it seems to only search in the current deck you're using instead of through all of your cards, and for people like me with multiple decks that was a little disappointing.
Comment from author
Hi! Thanks for the review! It's tucked away rather deep in the config file, but if you set the "snippetsLimitToCurrentDeck" option to false, the add-on will look through your entire collection. One caveat with this: If your collection is huge (tens of thousands of notes and upwards) there will be a small delay when searching. Once the add-on has its options menu in the stable release, all of this will become a lot more discoverable hopefully.
on
This is really useful in a larger collection.

Sensacional!
