Cool, I've just sent to to the web@website address.

Yup, I missed step A. That made the import complete straight away. Perhaps a warning before importing into a null deck might be helpful.

Regarding the card dupes, I disabled the... uh... was it "Production"? (The one other than Recognition) and that had no effect on the import routine. Only after deleting it would I get the correct amount of cards with their expiry dates.

Thanks!

Even if you don't have any deck open, import should still work (it creates a new deck for you). I just tried it and it still imports quickly. Not sure what's causing the problem there.

resolve,

I actually had the same problem when I tried beta4 a few days ago.  I tried again just now and it works fine, I actually just went to open an old deck and it automatically imported smoothly.  Previously, I tried to import the deck by selecting the deck, format, etc and it would say something to the effect "This may freeze Anki for a while" but nothing would happen.

Beta 5

Firstly, remove the old configuration file
(Mac/Linux: rm -rf ~/.ankidev, Windows, find it in Documents and Settings)
Remember that you'll need to reimport your .fc files, as previous .anki files
won't work.

Syncing is now enabled, and will sync to a test server, which you can access at:

http://repose.ath.cx:5001/study

The decks are a snapshot from today, upgraded to the new version. As with
previous betas, please don't use this beta for real work, as things may still
break. From this beta, I am going to start using 0.3 for my own deck, and if
that goes well, then probably beta6 will be safe to start using properly.

The same applies for the web interface - any data stored there will be lost when
I release 0.3.

I've enabled psyco in the latest beta, which should make Anki quite a bit faster
on Windows and Linux. Unfortunately, psycho is not available for the Mac.

Oh, and there are some JLPT sample decks again now.

Could any Mac users confirm that hiragana generation is working properly?

Please let me know how you go!

johnzep: looks like you've triggered a bug in deleting models when syncing. On your end it probably looks like Anki gets stuck syncing, and eventually returns "empty response". I'll have a look into it tonight after work.

JimmySeal: If you upgrade the decks manually, disabling all but the card model you want, do you get the correct number of cards?

Could you send me your local deck, and the steps you took to break syncing (if you remember)? It may help in tracking down the problem.

hmmm...

I made a new user (johnzep2) and made a new deck...added a couple cards...and then the sync with the server still hangs

and this is the error message in the log file:

Traceback (most recent call last):

JimmySeal: that's partly a design decision - by choosing the card models before importing you can prevent the extra cards from being generated, but it could probably be done better.

johnzep: Okay, I've been able to reproduce the problem, and it looks like I overlooked something in the diffing code. I'll release beta6 within a day or so once I get it fixed.

hi there - is there any way i canchange a .anki file i made with beta 4 to work with beta6?  I got so much into it and it would be horrible if I had to scrap it

I also switched over to linux to try out that version...

the syncing worked.

But in linux I have a different problem...I can't enter japanese text when adding new cards.

using SCIM -->  Anthy I can enter japanese text in other programs, but in Anki it doesn't seem to work.  and if I write japanese in another app and try to paste it, 猫　 becomes \u732b.

johnzep: hmm. I'll do some more testing on windows

littleblue: I can manually upgrade it for you if you send it to me. Perhaps my warnings about "don't use this for serious work" were not clear enough.

I had that same problem. Found this fix.. not sure which step fixed it, or if it was a combination of them all as I did them all at once.

* im-switch -s scim_xim
* added "/SupportedUnicodeLocales =
en_US.UTF-8,en_GB.UTF-8,en_AU.UTF-8" to ~/.scim/global
* export QT_IM_MODULE=xim

I tried this but didn't seem to work
