I have 2 card types, one for writing and another for reading. I’ve decided I want to write around half the characters I can read at any point in time. So for every 2 new read cards I get 1 new write card (this has an added bonus of spreading siblings out pretty well too).
To do this I’ve set the due for the cards as something like card_type_id*note_id, where card_type_id is 1 for reading cards and 2 for writing cards.
I do this by exporting my collection to SQL, modifying the fields with a few SQL queries, then importing the collection.
This is a pretty horrible process and makes adding new cards a pain. Is there a better way to do this?
I moved the cards to separate subdecks. The average interval for the parent deck is still the same, but the average stability has reduced from 2.43 to 1.47 years and the difficulty distribution has changed dramatically (average from 51% to 70%). All subdecks and parent deck use the same options preset and I haven’t changed fsrs parameters.
What could be causing that to happen? Fyi I’m doing this in ankidroid.
Are the statistics for the parent deck showing an unweighted average of the statistics for the subdecks?
Edit: The reading suvdeck seems to have missing statistics for stability, difficulty and retrievability, and the parent deck statistics for these sections match the statistics shown in the writing subdeck. This seems unexpected to me.
The new deck you created – to move one set of cards to it – wouldn’t automatically inherit the preset. You might want to select the parent deck and “Save to All Subdecks” – or apply the preset to those subdecks one-by-one.
