The copy can have only new cards. Or they can have exactly the same intervals, ease, etc... than the original card.
To copy a note:
- Open the card browser
- Select the desired notes (at least one card by note)
- Go to "Edit > Copy and set to new" their shortcut are configurable, by default (Ctrl+C)
The copy preserve fields, tags, decks.
Before the 26th of september 2019, there was a bug in this add-on. Because of this bug, if you share and import a deck containing either:
- a note and a copy of this note
- two notes originally copied from the same note then importing this deck will bug. Only one of the multiple notes will be imported; the other will be detected as copy by anki, even if they have quite different content.
This add-on do two things to correct this bug.
The first time you open a profile with this add-on installed, it'll check whether your collection contains the bug. In this case it'll ask whether you want to correct it or not. It won't check again next time you open it; indeed, this bug should not appear again. (Unless you use an old version of this add-on on another computer which is synchronized with the same collection. But normally, in this case, it'll be corrected when you update this add-on on the other computer).
Anki will try to detect when this bug exists in a deck you import. In this case, it'll correct it and tell you to tell to the decks' author that it should update this deck. Since this change the importer, a part of anki which should not be touched by an add-on whose purpose is only to copy notes, you can deactivate it in the configurations.
There is a potential caveat, which should not occur often nor have real consequences. You should note that empty cards are not copied. If you don't know what it means, you probably doesn't need to worry about this.
This add-on is currently incompatible with:
- add-on Show duplicates
Using the add-on configuration, you can:
- change the shortcut.
- decide whether you keep creation time or set it to current time.
- decide whether you keep interval, due date, number of lapse, etc...
"Preserve creation time": as indicated by the name, if it's true, the card and note's creation time are preserved. Otherwise, it is set to the time of the copy.
