Change Deck of Cards

Hello guys,

i’m trying to make my own addon, so i want to programmatically change the deck of some cards.
Is this possible and how?

Thanks in advance,
Tobi7

You can use mw.col.set_deck(), passing it a list of card IDs and the ID of the deck:

cids = [1642081338943, ...]
mw.col.set_deck(cids, deck_id)

Sorry but that didn’t work for me, mw..col doesn’t have a method set_deck, but mw.col.decks, does.
So mw.col.decks.setDeck(cids, did) worked for me!

mw.co.set_deck() was introduced in 2.1.36 apparently, and mw.col.decks.setDeck was deprecated

You may wish to take a look at these pages dealing with setting up your IDE for code completion.

# Editing/IDEs

Visual Studio Code is recommended, since it provides decent support for all the languages
Anki uses. If you open the root of this repo in VS Code, it will suggest some extensions
for you to install.

For editing Python, PyCharm/IntelliJ's type checking/completion is a bit nicer than
VS Code, but VS Code has improved considerably in a short span of time.

There are a few steps you'll want to take before you start using an IDE.

## Initial Setup

### Python Environment

For code completion of external Python modules, you'll need to create a Python
venv and install Anki's dependencies into it. For example:

```
$ python3.9 -m venv ~/pyenv

This is a good way to discover what you need, although digging around in the source code is also necessary a lot of the time - the places to start are usually /qt/aqt/ or /pylib/anki/
