Description

Anki Hide Deck

Hide decks from the main deck list without changing the decks themselves.

This add-on is visual only and local only.

It does not:

delete decks
rename or move decks
change cards or notes
change scheduling or review history
change Anki's database schema

It only hides decks from the deck browser UI.

Hide deck context action

What it does

adds Hide when you right-click a deck
removes the deck from the main deck list immediately
hides all sub-decks if you hide a parent deck
lets you unhide decks from Tools > Hidden Decks

Sub-decks

If you hide a parent deck, the whole subtree is hidden too.

That means:

sub-decks disappear with the parent
sub-decks stay hidden while the parent stays hidden
the parent should be unhidden from Tools > Hidden Decks
