Show number of cards next to deck name in Browse?

Anki Help
1

Hi, currently I manually put the number of cards beside the deck title and check the card count on the title bar. However, I’m wondering if there’s a feature or add-on that can automatically display the number of cards under each deck directly beside the deck name in the Browse window.

Right now, I have to click into each deck to see how many cards it contains. It would be really helpful to see the card count at a glance.

Is this possible in Anki, or is there an add-on that supports this feature?

Thanks in advance!

Go to Tools > Extensions > View Files > create a folder with any name, for example: teste

Inside the “teste” folder, create a text file and place the code below inside it.

Rename the text file to __init__.py
Note: 2 underscores before and 2 underscores after init.

View > Check the option: File name extensions

Close and reopen Anki to test.
