Description

Too many subdecks will slow down Anki. This tool can add tags to every note in a deck based on the subdeck(s) that their cards belong to and can automatically flatten decks in order to clean up those cluttered legacy decks.

This is a new add-on. Please back-up your collection before using the add-on in case any new bugs are identified.
BUG: If you encounter a "Check database" error after using the add-on, please go to Tools > Check database. I'm working on making this automatic, but this will fix it in the meantime.

If something is not working, please follow this link to GitHub Issues, click "New Issue", and follow the template. If you would like to contribute, please open up a GitHub Issue for a new feature request so we can discuss before/while you fork and open a pull request. This is my very first add-on so please be kind and give me some time to fix any errors before a downvote, thank you so much!

Happy studying!

README

Subdecks2tags

Too many subdecks will slow down Anki. This tool adds tags to every note in a deck based on the subdeck(s) that their cards belong to. This preserves a deck's hierarchy and allows anki subdecks to be removed. It was created to automate the process of reformatting legacy Anki decks towards the use of tags.
