Ankiuser123 · August 21, 2023, 3:42pm

Can you delete the image resizer addon and see if that fixes your issue?

yulian_palmeros · August 21, 2023, 6:43pm

I have the same problem since yesterday, I already remove the add on like twice, desinstall anki and the error is still here

Ahmed7 · August 21, 2023, 6:47pm

If deleting the addon does not work, try this based on @jakub.f’s recommendation

jakub.fAnkiHub Developer

Please open C:\Users\fatim\AppData\Roaming\Anki2\addons21\files_backup in a file explorer and delete the 1214357311 folder if possible. This is the folder of the ImageResizer add-on. It’s possible that it didn’t get fully deleted when you deleted it using Anki’s Add-on dialog.

If you still get an error after doing that please post the error here.

Ahmed7 · August 21, 2023, 6:48pm

You can try the above as well, but if you can post the error message so we can investigate further

yulian_palmeros · August 21, 2023, 6:58pm

This is the error

Ahmed7 · August 21, 2023, 6:58pm

Can you copy paste it here, we also need the bottom part

@yulian_palmeros

Your issue looks like it has to do with the AnKing note type.

Per @abdo.nh’s suggestion, please try this first:

Can you go to Tools > Manage Notetypes and delete the “AnKingOverhaul (AnKing / AnKingMed)” notetype?

Then do this:

Unsubscribe to the deck on the ankihub addon → Unsubscribe to the deck on the AnkiHub website → Resubscribe again on the website → Press sync in Anki

@abdo.nh do you know what might be going on for @yulian_palmeros?

abdo.nh · August 28, 2023, 3:31pm

Maybe following the steps in Permission Problems - Anki Manual could help.
