Description

This add-on might permanently damage your collection. If you don't know how to help yourself in such a case do not install or use this add-on. This add-on is only available for Anki 2.1.45+. For older versions a download is shown but you'll only get an empty add-on that doesn't work. This add-on allows to duplicate existing notes and fake their creation time. It also allows to insert mostly empty notes with a faked creation time. This add-on is mostly untested. If you use it please let me know about bugs you find by clicking the "Contact Author" button in the upper right of this window. This add-on is based on Arthur's Copy Notes add-on and also takes some inspiration from redgis' Duplicate and Reorder. In some ways this is an alternative to the Note Organizer add-on.

README

Copy notes

Copy cards, either as new cards, or preserving intervals, ease, etc., from the original card.

To copy a note:

Open the card browser
Select at least one note.
Go to Edit > Note Copy. The keyboard shortcut is configurable; the default is Ctrl+C.

The copy preserves fields, tags, and decks.

Warnings

Bug in previous version

Before the 26th of September 2019, there was a bug in this add-on. Because of this bug, if you shared and imported a deck containing either:

a note and a copy of this note
two notes originally copied from the same note then importing this deck will fail. Only one of the multiple notes will be imported; the other will be detected as copy by anki, even if they have quite different content.

This add-on does two things to correct this bug.

Correcting your collection

The first time you open a profile with this add-on installed, it'll check whether your collection contains the bug. In this case it'll ask whether you want to correct it or not. It won't check again the next time you open it; indeed, this bug should not appear again. (Unless you use an old version of this add-on on another computer which is synchronized with the same collection. But normally, in this case, it'll be corrected when you update this add-on on the other computer).

Correcting imports with this bug

Anki will try to detect when this bug exists in a deck you import. In this case, it'll correct it and tell you to tell to the deck's author to update this deck. Since this changes the importer, a part of anki which should not be touched by an add-on whose purpose is only to copy notes, you can deactivate it in the configuration.

Empty cards

There is a potential caveat, which should not occur often nor have real consequences. You should note that empty cards are not copied. If you don't know what this means, you probably don't need to worry about it.

Incompatibilites

This add-on is currently incompatible with:

add-on Show duplicates

Configuration

Using the add-on configuration, you can:

change the shortcut.
decide whether to keep the original creation time or set it to the current time.
decide whether to keep interval, due date, number of lapses, etc...

Relate card

Add-on 413416269 allows the user to relate notes, so that cards of related notes are buried as siblings during reviews (only on Anki desktop). Relations are created using tags. You can configure this add-on to automatically relate a note and its copy by ensuring that they share a tag. More precisely, if they already have a relation tag, then the same one will be used in the new copied note. Otherwise, a new tag will be added to both.

All Configuration Options

Copy log (Default = True): Whether to also copy the review log of the selected cards
Preserve creation time (Default = True): The original card and note's creation time are preserved. Otherwise, it is set to the time of the copy.
Preserve ease, due, interval... (Default = True): Preserve all information not related to creation date
Shortcut: copy (Default = Ctrl+C): set a custom keyboard shortcut
correct import (Default = True): Whether to correct bugs in imported decks created by an old version of this add-on. You should set it to False if it interferes with other add-ons; otherwise, keeping it set to True should be all right.
current tag prefix (Default = relation_): the prefix of the tag used to relate notes, as in Bury related notes add-on
relate copies (Default = True): Add a tag to relate the original note and its copy for the Bury related notes add-on
tag prefixes (Default = ['relation_']): if a copied note's tag contain a prefix in this list, no prefix will be added. As in the Bury related notes add-on
tag for copies (Default = 'copy'): A tag added to the new notes, copied from another note.
