Trying to find the steps to reproduce this bug has been quite a… journey.
But finally, after countless hours of trying, I have found the steps. This has been in Anki for a very long time.
This bug is so “sensitive” (?). I have failed to reproduce it consistently. For the highest chance of reproducing it, do not move any windows, and try to use keyboard shortcuts instead of your mouse.
P.S. Would you like me to submit bugs on GitHub instead of forums? I don’t mind either.
Steps:
Start Anki
Open Browser and sort by Interval. Ensure that you have more than 4 columns (so that you can notice the difference). Personally, I had: Sort Field, Tags, Created, Interval, Due (in that order)
Restart Anki
Do a review
Copy some text from the review screen
Open Browser
Paste the copied text and press Enter
Pay close attention to the current order of sorting columns
Remove the Due
Notice how, after removing the Due column, the rest of the columns become jumbled up.
If there is a notetype conflict and Merge notetypes is disabled, then no update will (can) be performed, no matter what Update notetypes is set to. However, the same apkg may contain other notetypes that still can be updated without conflict according to Update notetypes.
So both settings should really be considered separately.
I don’t follow.
While I wouldn’t mind that in terms of content, the layout doesn’t work well with such verbose labels (keep in mind their translations). I think with the help carousel we already have a good solution for long-form explanations.
When you import notes with a note type whose schema was changed (and with the “merge notes” option off) the newer versions of Anki add a “+” at the end of the name of this newly imported notetype (before it would add some random string of ~5 numbers and characters).
I agree that the old way was confusing but simply adding a “+” at the end of the name suggests that the newly imported version is “better” than the older one – which may or may not be the case. What if we add the date/time when this notetype was created instead? For example: Court decision [2023-10-23 18:42]
Sorry, I don’t have any short term plans to add such an option.
As Rumo has pointed out, they’re somewhat unrelated, and I suspect users will be reaching for ‘merge notetypes’ more often than the other settings, which is why I thought it made more sense on top.
A heads up that addons-failed-to-load2 needs to be updated to match the latest English
I’ve added brief mention of it to the manual. Learning steps over a day are already warned about inside the deck options; I’ve added mention of clearing out custom scheduling.
alpha2 doesn’t support it properly either. Please wait for AnkiDroid 2.17 alpha3.
Great! Thanks for letting me know.
If you’re confident they’re a bug, dropping them directly on GitHub will save me some time
The manual entries are ignored, so this is treated like a card with no revlog. We infer the stability based on the current due date, which is 2123. If we did otherwise, cards with missing history would get reset to new.
Maybe in the future. We’d still need to add a plus if the name wasn’t unique after adding that text.
How do I find out what to put into “SM2 retention” for a preset? It sure varies due to backlogs and priorities, but I didn’t have the same decks in the past.
Edit: It seems that it is impossible to find out using the cards for which it is used, so I need to use the retention of similar cards, somehow.
If so, then this is not a part of Anki, it’s from the helper add-on. But anyway, go to Tools → Add-ons → FSRS4Anki Helper ->Config and there will be “mature_ivl”.
Some other add-ons (MorphMan, True Retention, Pretzel Logic, Cardistry) also had that setting, so I thought Anki had it, too. 2.1.22 does not, so I guess not.
2- Zoom problem on an image while reviewing
For example, if I want to read a small word
Drawing
If in the middle of drawing a Polygon I decide to draw a Rectangle the Polygon stays and doesn’t get erased
User Interface
A “Back to selection page” is necessary in my opinion.
For example, If I loaded a wrong image, I have to close the Add window and reopen it which is annoying.
