I noticed that Tools → Empty Cards does not find (and delete) empty cards anymore (2.1.28 and 2.1.29).
For example, if I create a new cloze deletion note with text “{{c1::X}} {{c2::Y}}”, I’ll end up with a note with two cards. If I then change the text to “{{c1::X}}” and run Tools → Empty Cards, I would have expected the info that card 2 is empty and can be deleted. This used to work prior to 2.1.28 but not anymore.
In the changelog I’ve seen that there were some changes in terms of card creation and deletion. Is this still the recommended way of getting rid of such empty cards? Is it a bug?
Which add-on is it, for our information?
I certainly have the problem too, cf screenshot. The weird part is that if I choose “delete”, it does show the “Deleted 1 card” notification.
I disabled all add-ons, tested the Empty Cards feature and piece by piece enabled the add-ons again checking the empty cards. (Don’t forget to restart.)
I had the same issue (with the empty window) after I turned too many cards into empty cards, I suspect (I created more than 8000 empty cards at once).
Luckily I could delete them “blindly”, and afterwards (when I turned only a few more cards into empty ones) the window started working again and showed me the empty cards.
