I have a question about rebuilding filtered decks.
I created filtered decks using various specified tags, and I use these to review daily. After my reviews, I go back to main deck, unsuspend new cards (with my specified tag for the filtered deck).
In order to get these newly unsuspended cards into the filtered deck, I have to rebuild the filtered deck. When I do this, the newly unsuspended cards are added to the filtered deck (as expected) but all of the cards that I had reviewed earlier that day from the filtered deck reappear in the review column as if I haven’t reviewed at all today.
I’m sorry if this isn’t clear, I’m new to Anki and trying my best to understand what I’m doing wrong/ fixing this issue ASAP.
When you create your filtered deck, you just answer as “wrong” and “right” - or something similar?
If so, you’ve probably put an option so that your filtered deck isn’t considered a review.
If not, I will try to look for other ways of thinking…
I’ve made sure I checked the “Reschedule cards based on my answers in this deck” option and when I go through the review cards in my filtered deck, I get the usual ‘Again’, ‘hard’, ‘good’, ‘easy’ options. I usually pick ‘good’ and move on until i finish all the review for the day before unsuspending new cards from original deck.
With the old scheduler, cards in learning and relearning are reset when emptying (or rebuilding) a filtered deck. The solution is to update your Anki and enable the new scheduler.
If your filtered deck uses a search like “deck:foo”, that will include any cards from deck foo, regardless of whether they’ve been studied today or not. If you adjust the search to something like ‘deck:foo is:due’, that will only include cards that are currently due.
Only one problem: it leaves zero cards in my new card pile of the filtered deck (which makes sense since I have yet to view them therefore they aren’t due) BUT I’d like to, for example, be able to do my filtered deck reviews due today then do 200 new cards out of the pile of “new” cards I should have in the filtered deck (because I’ve filtered based on a tag that has >1000 cards I haven’t even attempted yet)
Is there a way to have the due cards show in the “learning” column and also have the new cards in the “new” column?
Your help is much appreciated, I hope my question makes sense!
I had misunderstood what you meant by “reappear in the review column as if I haven’t reviewed at all today”. I’m glad dae could solve it for you. deck:AnKing is:new OR is:due should work fine for your use case. However, if I understand your workflow correctly, it may be easier to set the first filter to deck:AnKing is:due and the second filter to deck:AnKing is:new. Then you can set the number of new cards in the filtered deck directly and don’t need to keep unsuspending cards.
hi, so i have a similar issue and I have tried a few things of what you guys said. it semi works but im confused a little.
my filtered deck is based on an anking tag “IM No dupes”
what i do is unsuspend cards, then go to the filtered deck and click Rebuild. And i was having the same issue of getting every single card ive ever done in my “Due” column in addition to the new cards i unsuspended.
so right now i unsuspended my cards but i have not clicked rebuild yet, so in the original deck it shows 22 new which i unsuspended and 23 DUE which should be correct
but when i do the is:new OR is:due thing, it shows 22 new and 43 are due now. im just not sure where the 20 extra cards are coming from in the Due section.
also, my filtered deck search bar shows this
tag:#AK_Step2_v11::!Shelf::IM::no_dupes
what exactly should i add to adjust it to make it new and due properly?
If I understand correctly, you want your filtered deck to include all the cards with a certain tag that are also new or due.
If this is the case, try wrapping is:new OR is:due in round brackets.
E.g. tag:#AK_Step2_v11::!Shelf::IM::no_dupes (is:new OR is:due)
If you do not wrap it that way and just write something like: tag:#AK_Step2_v11::!Shelf::IM::no_dupes is:new OR is:due
Anki will interpret it as: (tag:#AK_Step2_v11::!Shelf::IM::no_dupes AND is:new) OR is:due
