Adding a search option?

[Lokendra2244]

Is it possible to add an option to search a different anime when we finish watching an episode of anime so that we don't have to quit the ani-cli and restart it to search a different anime?

I'd rather not from a UI/UX perspective, but you could probably ask claude to patch ani-cli to behave like that for you

[Lokendra2244]

@port19x Hmmm i could that but i want to know since I'm not a developer that if i do ani-cli -U would it remove my patch?

[port19x]

Yes it would, but you can keep it around as a patch file, just tell claude to keep this part in mind.
I suspect this would be a ca 10 line change

ummm i came across another idea if that would be good from ui/ux prespective or not that instead of copying the ani-cli script directly in the /usr/local/bin? what if if use a wrapper which can be used by user to create there custom patches i.e. what i have done is i copied the ani-cli as src in ~/.local/share and then a patch file in config directory and then there is a main script in /usr/local/bin that uses both the patch and main ani-cli commands without causing the ani-cli -U to fail. though what i think might be an issue is that if there is some change in upstream with ani-cli main script that will have to modify the wrapper script in /usr/local/bin.

which might be a slight incovenience for you so you might not .

This doesn't seem like a wise architecture. Very brittle.
Could work for you in your workflow but I'd recommend against such a setup
