Flashcards 2.1.0

This release starts Anki for you when it isn't running, and fixes two bugs reported since 2.0.1.

Anki starts automatically

A sync used to fail outright when Anki was closed, losing the whole run. Every Anki-touching command now checks the connection first, starts Anki when needed, and waits until AnkiConnect answers. The waiting notice can be cancelled with a click, and a timeout aborts having changed nothing.

Auto-launch is on by default and finds Anki in the usual install locations (macOS bundle, Windows per-user and per-machine installs, anki on PATH or the flatpak export on Linux). Anything else — an AppImage, a custom prefix — is a settings field with a Test button that reports whether the launch command or AnkiConnect is at fault.

Cards with remote images are no longer dropped

A note containing ![](https://example.com/image.png) lost that card entirely: the URL was treated as a vault attachment, failed to resolve, and the card was removed from the sync without an error. Remote http(s) targets are now left alone and reach Anki as plain <img src="…">, which Anki displays while online. The file is not copied into Anki's media folder, so remote images do not show up during offline review. Reported in #231.

Cloze highlights follow the theme

The highlight behind {{c1::…}} and ==…== used a fixed pale yellow with no text colour, which was unreadable in dark themes. It now uses the theme's own highlight and text colours, and can still be overridden with a CSS snippet. Reported in #231.

.opus audio embeds

![[recording.opus]] is now recognised as audio and sent to Anki, which plays it through mpv. Suggested in #227.
