Filtered Deck From Tag (Multi-tag Selection)

An Anki add-on that creates a filtered deck directly from the browser sidebar with interactive multi-tag filtering. It allows you to study specific tags or combine multiple tags dynamically without manually typing search queries.

Features

• Sidebar Context Menu: Right-click any tag in the browser sidebar to quickly generate a filtered deck.
• Interactive Multi-Tag Selection: Select additional existing tags from a checkbox dialog to intersect search criteria (e.g., combining an instrument tag with a specific music theory tag).
• Automatic Naming: Automatically names the generated filtered deck based on the selected tags.
• Auto-Unsuspend Option: Option to automatically unsuspend matching cards when building the filtered deck.

Usage

1. Open the Anki Browser (B).
2. Right-click any tag in the left sidebar.
3. Select "Create Filtered Deck" from the context menu.
4. A dialog window titled "Combine with other tags" will pop up, displaying all existing tags in your collection.
5. (Optional) Check any additional tags you wish to combine with the target tag.
6. Click OK. The filtered deck will be automatically created, updated, and built.

Configuration

Configuration options can be modified from Tools → Add-ons → Select the add-on → Config.

Options

• numCards (integer): Maximum number of cards to pull into the filtered deck. Default is 300 (or up to 9999).
• unsuspendAutomatically (boolean): When set to true, automatically unsuspends cards matched by the search query. Set to false to disable this behavior.
• defaultOrder (integer): Specifies the sorting order of cards in the created filtered deck.

Order Values:

• 0: Oldest
• 1: Random
• 2: Increasing intervals
• 3: Decreasing intervals
• 4: Most lapses
• 5: Order added
• 6: Order due (default)
• 7: Latest added first
