It seems quite a lot of Anki’s new users have been confused by —
If it is not possible to export the app in a state that doesn’t show the new users this “design wart”? I suggest this is done through —
- Renaming the defualt deck to “Fallback” or “Internal”.
- Adding another deck called “Default” or “Deck”.
- Making sure default deck doesn’t appear in presets in the “number of deck using a preset” string.
This will hide the de-facto default deck. Furthermore, to make sure defualt deck do not appear unless some cards get seperated:
- Make Anki always hide this deck unless it contain cards.
But this is more as an annexure to my core points. If the first three suggestions are applied I believe it will make things a lot less confusing for new users.
