Anki 2.1.45 Beta

[cqg]

Aftersome time using 2.1.45, I have to say that I’m still finding some aspects of the new deck options window a little bit confusing, particulary, when using a complex estructure of decks and subdecks , each with different deck settings.

I tried to explain it here:

Anki 2.1.45 Alpha

After some use, I’m loving the new deck options window, I find it logical and intuitive, and the on screen extra info is a great help. With all that info in a single screen, what I’m missing, perhaps is some on-screen indication about which options / parameters affect the parent deck AND its subdecks (red in the screenshot below) , and which ones affects ONLY the parent / actual deck (yellow in the screenshot below). Maybe I’m missing something, but both types of parameters seems to be mixed in…

Probaby I’m still missing something here, but trying to figure out which settings apply only to the parent / actual deck and which ones applies to the parent deck AND its subdecks requires a lot of experimentation through trial and error and it’s, in my opinion, one of the most confusing aspects of the GUI.

For example, let’s say we are studyng this whole set (Deck A):

Deck A (Deck optionsA)
-SubdeckA1 (Deck OptionsB)
-SubdeckA2 (Deck OptionsC)
…

In that case, will New card gather priority / New card sort order values from DeckoptionsA override the New card gather priority / New card sort order values from DeckoptionsB and C?
