I’m not sure if a PR addressing the following would be accepted:
The Problem:
I have already-reviewed cards that I need to move to a new deck with a new hierarchical structure, and I need to achieve this automatically whenever a new import is performed (completely optional from the import dialog).
Function:
Use Case
Scenario: A user wants to update their deck’s deck structure without losing study progress on existing cards.
Current Limitation: When importing a deck with a new hierarchy, Anki would skip existing cards and if the user wants to reorganize it requires manual intervention of existing cards.
Proposed Solution: Add an import option to “Relocate existing cards to new deck hierarchy” that:
- Automatically moves matched cards to their corresponding new deck locations
- Preserves all review history , including ease factors, intervals, due dates, etc.
- Leaves unmatched cards in their original locations for manual review
