Wow, thanks @abdo . That’s a perspective I totally didn’t see coming!
Evidently, even after many years using Anki, I’m still a noob, so let me ask: How do I see the Card IDs?
I’ve managed (with the Advanced Browser add-on) to check the Created Date and Created Time for the notes that appear in my added:1 (or, today, added:2) searches, but the dates and times seem correct and distinct: 129 from March, 81 from May, and 4 from (now) yesterday. Moreover, I’d been able to use searches like added:1 with those cards from March and May before this version. From the thread you mention, I can understand how I still might not be seeing the IDs themselves, which might cause problems. But I’m not sure why I’m only seeing this behavior now, and not earlier with the other cards that come up in this search.
… time passes …
I tried to export the cards that come up in this added search, and I got an error message that the deck I was trying to create had “time stamps in the future”, and that I should ask how to fix this. So I guess you might be right after all!
But I’m not sure why, if the cards seem to have proper date and time stamps:
So I didn’t quite follow how the discussion in that other thread would apply here.
Thanks so much for the input. This is incredibly helpful.
Peace out,
Todd
