I would like an option where decks correspond one-to-one to presets that only include the cards directly within the deck and not any subdecks. This feature would greatly enhance the FSRS experience for those that want content-aware scheduling, as creating and tracking a preset for each deck can become quite tedious. ---

You can create n presets and assign them one-to-one to your decks. That functionality exists already, though setup might take a few minutes if you have a lot of decks. Also see the chapters in [Deck Options - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/deck-options.html?highlight=preset#presets) for more info about presets and subdecks. ---

As mentioned above, I am aware of that solution, I would just prefer not maintaining many presets as doing a collection-wide change becomes quite combersome when it has to be repeated for each one. ---

So what exactly do you propose? How would that feature look like? ---

A simple FSRS toggle which gives each deck their own preset automatically. ---

I don’t know how you envison having one without the other. ---

I meant in terms of its internal implementation, each deck will act as if it had its own FSRS preset associated with it by default. Simply put I want a toggle that completely dissasociates deck presets from fsrs, decks are the unit of optimization for their directly contained cards. ---

Since FSRS works better with more review history, and presets make it easier to manage multiple decks that have the same settings – it makes sense for FSRS to be managed by preset as well. It sounds like you’re envisioning that just FSRS parameters and DR will be set deck-by-deck, while everything else in Options will remain set preset-by-preset – is that right? It’s hard to imagine the decks that vary so starkly in their scheduling needs that they each need different FSRS parameters – but they are similar enough that all the rest of their settings would be the same. Even if you had a couple decks that fit that bill, it seems unlikely it would be necessary for _every_ deck. Given how few users would ever need to manage their collections at that level of detail, so this would be a pretty niche use-case.
