wzafran: thanks for the feedback! Buttons for rich text editing will probably be included at some point - there's just a bunch of other stuff I have to finish first. Anki 0.3 will have a different edit deck window that will make HTML editing easier, too.

Unstable is not really the right choice of words - it's not crashing, is it?

The problem is that you've entered characters into your question which can't be encoded in shift-jis - only in unicode. The program which generates readings for your text automatically doesn't understand unicode, so Anki has to convert it to shift-jis first. The solution is to ignore any characters which can't be encoded (they'll just be left out of the reading generation). It'll be fixed in 0.3.

If you are getting other errors, please let me know.

PS: I did get your email with feature suggestions, but I've been too busy to look at it properly yet. The bug tracker's a good place to post things you don't want me to miss. ;-)

In 0.3 you can customize what fields you want in your deck. For now, if you select 'English/other' as the target language in your deck, it won't use hiragana.

Resolve, thanks for the quick help last Friday on the deck order.  I did as you suggested, yet have no clue if it worked or not.  I'm still reviewing and haven't added new cards.  Assuming the plug-in worked, will Anki search for the skipped words in the deck or simply continue from where it stopped, in order?  And if this is so, how can I make it add the kanji that it previously skipped?  BTW, the only error that I encountered was when I tried to access Anki by cell phone.  But after sync'ing, cell phone version is fine.  Thanks for the help!

Hi Resolve,  I managed to finish the next chapter's stories, 1483 and started into the review.  It still skips kanji in my list.  I have only imported one list.  I have never added a list.  I did synch on-line and that shuffled the deck, then you deleted the deck for me and I re-loaded my local deck. I wonder if my local deck was then shuffled? At any rate this did sync my local and on-line decks and I thought things were cool.  But it seems they both skip kanji?    Presently, under Edit, my list appears in order, but lists many kanji I've passed in number as new cards.

You are correct, I would like to have the kanji introduced in order, and whatever scheduling anki decides thereafter is fine with me.  It's just that many cards have not been presented and are not on a review schedule which will definitely throw me off.

I wonder now, that if the correct order was resumed after your plug-in, could it be possible that the on-line deck is now synching and shuffling the local deck?  Would it be better if I deleted my on-line deck, reloaded the plug-in fixing the order, and re-added my local deck from on-line?

Thanks again for your time and patience.

BTW, I never saw that log file.  Hmmm...fishy, eh.

The code I wrote for you looks for some numbers, a dot and a space. Actually it looks for some numbers, a character and a space because I made a mistake, but the effect is the same. I'd suggest "1412.1", and change this line of the file:

        m = re.match("^(\d+). ", question)

to

        m = re.match("^(\d+)\.", question)

(adding a \, and removing the space)

You can delete the .pyc file whenever you like. It's just a cache to speed up loading in the future.

I don't see any problem with keeping the letters, but the code I gave you orders or the first number only and completely ignores anything after that (so you may see 'c', then 'a'). The '\' marks the '.' as an actual '.' instead of a wildcard (google for 'regular expressions' if you're interested). You don't need to delete the .pyc, but you asked if you could: yes, once you remove the plugin you don't need to keep the .pyc file around.

After you've got your deck in order, if you erase your online deck and upload your local copy, they should have the same order.

Good luck!

Hi there,

Perhaps this question has been asked, but I didn't see it so I thought I'd go ahead.

Is it possible for the furigana automatically generated by Anki to be assigned to the question side rather than to the answer side?  I notice that it's set up that way for the sample deck for JLPT 4, but I can't figure out how to set that up for the cards that I enter.  I'm still working through RTK 1, so I don't know how to pronounce many of the kanji, so I either need to not use kanji (hiragana only) or I need furigana when I'm studying vocabuary.

Thanks.

During the review it would be really nice to have buttons to click on rather than the using the keyboard to enter "0 1 2 3".

I'll vouch for that: I have a tendency to use my laptop while it's in slate mode, meaning, of course, no keyboard, so having buttons to click, a la Mnemosyne, would be a convenience, but it's not necessary by any means.

Bortrun, it may be to your long-term advantage to keep the furigana hidden so that you can start memorizing readings. Personally, I have a tendency of ignoring the kanji if I show furigana and the word doesn't have synonyms.

Hi Resolve, everything seems to be in order now.  Thanks a bunch.  Anki slammed me will all the ones that it skipped, nigh on 200, but I'm through it and back on track.  A couple more questions lurking around my dark matter...When the list is displayed, it does so listing all numbers beginning with 1 first.  1, 10, 100, 1000 then to 2 etc.  This doesn't seem like the order the cards are being presented in, at least I haven't noticed it.  Is it just for presentation?

Anki has great kanji stats and because of that I found a couple of kanji I'd skipped somehow or were perhaps never imported.  I also found a mistake in the book, 飽 - 1480 sated.(BTW folks, is there a list of mistakes in RTK1 somewhere?)  It took me a while to narrow that down.  Yeah Anki!  Anki also showed me as missing one kanji, 璽　じ　sated,　which also threw me for a loop.(And of course I didn't have my Wordtank!)  It was listed by Anki as a JHS kanji and I couldn't find this in RTK1.  I did find it in a list I have coming after 2042 yet having no number or English keyword.  It seems to be an older kanji, not in common use and most Japanese I spoke with didn't know it.  How does it relate to RTK1 and 常用漢字?

The only 常用 not in RTK I, 璽, imperial seal, is, like, on the second page of RTK III (frame 2075), ironically.

EDIT: eh, synewave beat me to the punch, drat.

Megaqwerty and Synewave, thanks for the info!

Resolve, I figured it was something like that.  Easy for you to script maybe, but a whole education for me! Definitely too late to change.  Maybe I'll number that way for other decks I'll eventually make.  Thanks for all the help!
