Anki is stuck at ‘Checking…’

[MatthewHA233]

I simply subdivided nearly a hundred cards from long-standing decks into smaller decks today, but after restarting the software, it kept showing 'Anki is stuck at Checking…'. No matter how I force-quit through Task Manager like before, or deleted and reinstalled the add-ons, or restarted the computer, nothing worked. Previously, it was always a network issue, but this time, after disabling the add-on, the software opens without any problems.

Oh, sorry about that. After I re-downloaded and reinstalled Anki, the problem was resolved.

Hello, thanks for reporting the issue and resolving it.

New version has been added to show Pokemon in Home when Anki is launched, if your deck is too large, this may be causing an error (so far this problem seems to be very rare). In this case I think you can turn off all the functions to display in Home from Config.

If it does not run stable or if a similar problem occurs again, please try this:

1. Start Anki while holding down the Shift key (all add-ons will be disabled).
2. With Anki in safe mode open the Config of the add-ons
   • Tools -> Add-ons -> Select Pokemanki Gold -> Config
3. Overwrite Config with this text and save it:

{
    "Number of deck name splits": 3,
    "PokeType": true,
    "X_or_Y_mega_evolutions": "X",
    "align_cards": "scrollbox",
    "auto_open_trade": false,
    "gen2": true,
    "gen3": true,
    "gen4": true,
    "gen4_evolutions": true,
    "gen5": true,
    "is_change_log_2024_03_26": true,
    "is_rate_this": true,
    "max_height_px": "500",

    "show_pokemon_in_reviewer": false,
    "hide_pokeball_in_toolbar": true,
    "Show Pokemon in Home and overview": false,
    "auto_open_trade": false
}

4. Restart Anki.
5. All Pokemanki options that run when Anki starts will be turned off.
