Decks vs presets is something that confuses a lot of users. Some users don’t even realize that there is a difference, some users think you need to make one preset for every deck, some users apply presets to the wrong decks that they didn’t want them to be applied to, etc. While I can’t think of a w…

Maybe add a “List decks” option here? The whole disposition of “Deck options” could change. The deck being changed could be more explicit. Its relations with other decks as well. But honestly I won’t think much about something I’m not doing it myself. Up to the other ones.

[image] Anon_0000: Does someone here know if ankidroid has a design team? They might have good ideas to mitigate this issue. As Brayan says (who is a maintainer for ankidroid), we should do it in the Deck Options screen. There is really no other place that can be better. Consider also that pe…

Maybe we could do something like the following? Idea The current preset drop down menu becomes a button which opens a popup, that fills the entire options screen on click. From there the user could select the preset using a drop down (like currently) and also see which decks are assigned to it. A …

@sorata So you’d like to see a popup when the preset is saved showing two buttons, one saying “Save to this preset only” and second saying “Choose which presets to save to”? Where the second button would open a selection dialog (with a searchbar on top) and a way to checkmark / select several pres…

I was simply linking back to a previous discussion as your idea is basically a stripped down preset browser screen. If you want my opinion, I think long-term there should be a preset manager screen where you can delete/rename/add presets (think manage note types). So, the preset related options sho…

I tried to create a mockup using pencil. The colors and other css things aren’t relevant, it’s more about the actual flow. Maybe everyone here can give some feedback? Flowchart This is intended to show the functions the user could perform and how to get there. The diamond-shaped shape is a decisio…

Here’s my suggestion. Move all deck related settings (renaming, editing the description and modifying new/review limits) to what’s currently the deck options screen. Except that only the above options will be shown plus the drop-down for selecting the preset (btw remove the “(used by x decks)” text…
