Waiting for the update :))

The last version of this addon that can work is 2.1.49. I have tried 2.1.50-54, but none of them can work.

Sorry I have to downvote, but the add on doesn't currently work for me using 2.1.54. I have the exact same problem as here https://github.com/Arthur-Milchior/anki-Multi-column-edit-window/issues/29

Amazing add-on, anxiously waiting for the update.

Great addon, thanks to the authors! very helpful for big notes with many fields.
I found a bug (?) or a drawback rather - after installing the addon and in the Anki (latest to date) nightmode, the pin buttons in the add new note dialog are hardly seen (I even thought they disappeared), black (when pinned) or dark-grey (unpinned) on the dark-grey background of the nightmode Anki.
Please fix this or instruct how to adjust these colors manually.
UPD: just checked in daymode - the behaviour of the pins is also buggy: when you click on the second and further fields' pins, only the first field's pin is activated/deactivated, the 2nd+ fields' pins stay in the same state no matter what you do, they just don't change. Keyboard shortcut (F9) for pin/unpin field action doesn't seem to work either.
Pls check this

Very useful for note types with a lot of fields - in my view a 'must have' addin

Great way to save real estate in the Cards editor.

it is not good support with Quick Field Focus; can't change the focus on 9th and above field ,could you have look at it?
wonderful,it is great if it can work with the add-on Custom Styles 1899278645

I reinstalled this add-on and found it works fine now, thanks.
Comment from author before post was edited
Can you please post the error on github (use "contact the author") so that we can discuss it and I can debug

An indispensable addon. But since Anki 2.1.35 one has to be very careful since the addon surreptitiously injects a lot of HTML junk into one’s own cards – say when one presses the RETURN key. I’ll open a GH Issue in a minute.
I'm on macOS Mojave, with Anki 2.1.40.

very nice.

Causes error when moving multiple cards to a different deck in Anki 2.1.33

Very useful!

beautiful!

Very useful addon, fantastic!

It works well for me. Thanks.

Newest update (May 21st 2020) is broken! Crashes Anki on launch.

Would you please be kind enough to post a bug report on github so that it can be debugged ?

handy

Used to work great but new update made images overflow into other columns.

Can you please put a bug report on https://github.com/Arthur-Milchior/anki-Multi-column-edit-window/issues and a screenshot, so I know what's wrong and how to correct it.

It doesn't work since the last update

great add on. recent update fixed issue with pictures not fitting in their column and overextending into adjacent columns

Very neat. Plasters the console with "uncaught cmd mceTrigger" and "JS error on line 150: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'innerHTML' of undefined", though.

awsome

Didn't work for me either - just gave error when I hit edit. Was trying to use on Pepper Sketchy deck. - MacOs Mojave

Broken in build 2.1.12 (Windows X)

Does not work for 2.1, provides error message after opening browser and clicking on any card

Buggy. For a month now, it was absolutely perfect. It saved me so much time. Weirdly enough, it became buggy recently. On one computer, the columns would be ~3 cm away from each other even though anki is in full screen. On another computer, it didn't work. I tried adjusting the column numbers and reinstalling the addon to no avail.

Great work, thank you! Please keep working on it.

works for me

No more scrolling!

Fantastic. Please keep making great add-ons, your work is top notch. Thank you!

Cool ^^

Excellent!
I have 16 fields and this has simplified my data enter. No more scrolling to enter data.

Awesome ! but ……
Really useful ! but it would be much better for users to customize the location of columns.

Under development
This add-on, to be useful, needs to implement:
*single column; and
*scroll each column separated.

Unacceptably changes card content
I'm not sure why, but this add-on will change fields within your existing notes. See here:
https://github.com/hssm/anki-addons/blob/master/multi_column_editor.py#L62-70
What this means is that if you have a <table> element in any of your fields, this add-on will force the width of the first <td> to be 28px. I was flabbergasted when I saw this happening to me and couldn't figure out what was the problem but I traced the issue to this add-on. This is particularly pernicious because the description doesn't mention that this add-on would edit anything contained within notes. Use with extreme caution!!

Doesn't work
It doesn't work for me (OS X Mavericks). To be more precise, I see the configuration for the columns, but I don't get two columns if I set it to 2.

This should be built into Anki's core. Great idea!




This is a great addon...
Thanks for writing this. It makes modifying my notes faster. It also makes is quicker to browse my notes.
