Moving progress from one anki deck to another - khalhern - 2012-06-04
I don't know if this is possible, but is there a tool that moves progress from one deck to another?
For example, if I want to change from one RTK 1 and 3 deck (Nukemarine's original, I think) to the one that contains the top two community stories. If the decks have the same amount of cards, etc, is it possible to copy the progress of the first deck to a new one, so I don't have to go through them all from scratch again? Has someone found a way to do this?
Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance!
(I tried searching the forum, and checked the software showcase thread, and so on
)PS: I know the warning said "Ask on the anki forums" but I wanted to try here first because so many people here develop cool plugins and tools and so on, I thought I'd start here, at least! Sorry if it's breaking the rules :o
SOLVED: Thanks guys!

I've never tried it, but I assume if you export both decks and open them in a spreadsheet there'll be a field containing the scheduling info. If they're in the same order you could just paste the info from the old deck in to the new one and then re-import it.

I don't have anki on my machine right now so I can't tell you the specifics, but you should be able to figure it out.
The best way to do this would be to stay with your current deck and create two new fields (call them something like "story1" and "story2"). I'm assuming the deck with the two stories has them in separate fields. I've forgotten since I used it, but you get the idea.
Then, export the deck with the stories into a separate file. Then go back to your current deck, go to File --> import (or something like that) and choose the file you exported earlier. You will get a very confusing menu asking you to tell it which field it imported should map to which field in the current deck. Use that to update the current deck you are using.
It will probably break completely if there are empty fields somewhere if it can only export to CSVs. If you still need help, I'll take a closer look at a better way to do it later.

Thank you both for the replies! Splatted, I can't seem to load the anki deck into Excel without it reading as gibberish (regardless of what encoding I use
)@netsplitter: I can export to text fine, but when I try to import, it just says "0 facts imported"...

After mapping the fields, you need to click the "Update" button instead of the "Import" button. Then I think it asks you which field to match on, so choose the kanji field.
