Don't be too hard on yourself, the software is just that bad. @yogert909, when are we going to get that little project started...

I tried making a copy of your plugin and changing everything to the two other fields I'm using for my second Expression/Reading, but that didn't seem to work. It should be possible to do that right?

Could it be as easy as (temporarily) changing the name of your Expression field, running 'Bulk add readings" and then changing it back?

Ahh, Anki sucks sometimes!

Another question, unrelated to the last. Today I noticed all my cards besides my new and cards missed the previous day all had a 5 day interval for good. A couple days ago I had moved all my reviews a day to fix my sleeping. I'm assuming that messed up it somehow, but honestly I don't remember it being a problem until now. It doesn't seem like that should have caused it, so my question(s) are: Did that cause it? Can I fix it somehow? Is there any other way to skip a day of reviews?

Set deck options->reviews->maximum reviews per day to 0.

Won't I still have to do those reviews + the days reviews when I put it back up?

Of course you'll still have to do the reviews. There's no practical way around that. The best I think you can do is 'review ahead' in custom study the day before your 'off day'. But you'll still have the failed cards as reviews the next day.

Hi, sorry if this has been asked, but is there a way to review all the cards you have learned at once?

A filtered deck with "-is:new" would do it.

oops I misread the title, for some reason I thought it was for koohii questions, I'm sorry

I want to review all of the new cards I've added today, or maybe even in the past couple days. I guess the defining factor would be interval >3 days. But I can't figure out how to word the search query to keep it within my core2k deck, and only show the young cards. I want to find those cards 3 days or younger, and then do a cram session with them (like when you do "review forgotten cards").

Thanks!

deck:current prop:ivl<4 -is:new

This will give you the cards you added (or failed) 3 or fewer days ago and didn't rate easy the next day.

If you want just the new ones, you could add 'prop:reps<20' to what Vempele suggested. It just limits the search to cards with less than 20 reps. I have a filtered deck very similar, but I don't use it as much since I've increased my learning steps. Increased learning steps works marginally better since you're getting more or less optimal intervals throughout the day instead of cramming at the end of the day.

Perfect! Thanks Vempele, Yogert!

Yogert, I have a 30sec, 3min, 10min, and 1 day learning steps right now. What do you recommend?

This extra cram session isn't part of my daily routine, but sometimes I'll add a bunch of cards (like 30 new cards for a couple days in a row) and I get nervous that I'm forgetting them, so having the ability to sit down and go through all of them makes me feel better. I don't like adding more new cards until I know if I'm okay with the already-added other-new-cards, I guess...

That sounds reasonable.

You might consider adding a step or two between 10min and 1 day if it seems like you are failing a lot of cards at the one day mark. I try to set them up so each step is the around the same multiple of the previous step and my learning accuracy is around 75-80. Also, once a card comes out of learning, it'll have a 1 day step, so you effectively have two 1 day intervals. That's not necessarily a bad thing, (I have a deck with a 1 day learning interval) but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Is there any way to unsuspend a number of cards? I have a csv list from my dictionary and want to unsuspend them in my core6 deck, if they are in there. Thank you !

The easy way would be to select them in the browser and press the suspend/unsuspend button. If you have hundreds of cards to unsuspend, there's another way, but it's kind of convoluted. Let me and I'll write something up for you.

Thanks for the reply! I do have over a hundred words (though some might not be in the core6) and was looking for a way without manually unsuspending every word. So about that convoluted way ?

Basically the whole idea is that anki can import a csv and update existing cards with new information. So you can update your existing cards that match the csv with a dummy value and be able to select them all in the browser. So here goes..
1. backup a copy of your collection.anki2 file (in case things go wrong, you can revert)
2. tag all of your existing cards something unique like "temp"
3. add a dummy value to every line of your csv (you can replace the newline character with a comma, the dummy value followed by the newline character)
4. create a new field in your anki deck to receive the dummy value (will be deleted later)
5. import the csv into anki with "duplicates - update existing" enabled
6. map the word from your csv to it's corresponding field in anki
7. map the dummy value from your csv to the new field you created
8. in the browser search field enter "-tag:temp" to show all the newly created cards that aren't in your core deck.
9. you'll probably want to just delete these.
10. in anki's browser, click on "fields", then "sort by this field in browser"
11. now, select all the cards that have the dummy value and unsuspend them.
12. you can delete the dummy field and the "temp" tag and your deck will be back the way it started with your cards unsuspended.

That really is complicated. I will try to follow your directions tomorrow. Thank you for writing this up!

It's not actually that complicated. All you are really doing is adding a marker to tell you which cards overlap the csv file. It's just a bunch of small steps to get there.

Okay... part two of my dumb questions.

There is a selection of cards I have found and highlighted in the Browser that I want to study. How do I study these? Can I make a cram deck of just these, in the style of Review Forgotten Cards? I don't want my answers in the cram session to affect review schedules either.
I know earlier versions of anki had the simple "cram" option, but I can't find it anywhere anymore...

Select the cards you want to cram in the browser. Tag them with a unique tag. Create a filtered deck with that tag (e.g. tag:mytag). Turn off "reschedule" in the filtered deck options.

No alternative, huh? man... I really don't want to have a bunch of random cluttery tags on cards just to cram them. But I guess it doesn't really do any harm.
Thank you again yogert!

Well, you could have a "cram" tag. Just delete it from the cards you've crammed sufficiently and add it to a new batch.

This seems pretty trivial, but I could not find whether it is possible to apply specific formatting to the content of one particular card (typically, reduce the font size for one field if its content is unusually long). Can this be done in such a way that it will override the normal formatting defined for that field just for this single card?
