Cards with manually 'Set Due Date': show in Browser?

Anki Help
1

Because one cannot schedule new cards, I give them an interval of 1!, and then ‘Set-Due-Date’ them to, say, the 3rd quarter of the next 12 months (180-270).

After this has been done, is there a way to show these cards in the Browser?

(I.E. cards that had their due dates set manually, rather than by the algorithm)

Cheers :wink:

Presumably you’ve already figured out that using Set Due Date on New cards causes them to skip the Learn state – and you’re happy with that compromise.

Since these were fresh New cards, even after the SDD, they should still have 0 countable reviews, so try is:review prop:reps=0. I don’t have any cards to try it on, but that seems like it could work. Searching - Anki Manual

That does the trick, thanks a bunch! :+1:

Indeed; scheduling is more important. If necessary, I could always reset them later …

Of course, the other way to schedule cards is to introduce them at a steady pace with your daily New card limit. A plan that involves resetting the cards later seems like you’ll be wasting efforts in the short-term and long-term.

Thanks for your input … :wink:

While creating heaps of new cards for later use, I have a precise idea as to WHEN EXACTLY they need to be introduced; but this schedule is quickly forgotten; so these cards need to be scheduled then and there …

It’s NOT about a steady pace. Different cards are needed at different times, plus, the REAL waste is repping similar cards during the same week/month (I do retire cards after they reach a certain interval).

Thanks again, I’m off now … :wink:
