How to detect which card "The following files are referenced by cards, but were not found in the media folder" refers to

Anki Desktop
1

When I do “Check Media”, I get this error.

The following files are referenced by cards, but were not found in the media folder:
Missing: ⁨vqlG7t9uEeaizBK307J26A_3e3e9f42b5e3ce9e3466a0416c4368ee_ITu3antfEeam4BLcQYZr8Q_37fe6be97e7b0740d1871ba99d4c2ed9_300.png⁩

Unfortunately, since the file name is not particularly informative, I have no idea which card refers to this image so that I can address the issue.

Any idea how to find out the right card?
(and if not, is this the right place to report this as a ‘bug’?)

Many thanks
T.

You can search for that filename in the Browse screen to locate the note that is referencing it.

@dae : Hi Damien!

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I had tried this.
Searching for the filename does not yield any results. I don’t know if this has to do with the filename (clearly it’s a hash of some sort).

I’m thinking it might be some sort of latex hash or something similar, that corresponds to an autogenerated file, and is that not searchable by name. I could be wrong though …

Searching for vqlG7t9uE seems to locate it for me

I need this feature too, after Check Media, it is better to list the info in the The following files are referenced by cards, but were not found in the media folder: section for the missing file like this:

The following files are referenced by cards, but were not found in the media folder:
Missing: a.png from CardA from DeckA deck

(The “CarA” can be sort field or other info that I can locate the specific card, “DeckA” is the deck name.

Searching keywords in Browser works sometimes, but most of the time it doesn’t work at all or the result contains a lot of items, it is hard to locate the specific cards.
