Merge Notes

Rate on AnkiWeb Patreon Matrix GitHub

Suppose you have a subs2srs deck. Due to the way subs2srs works usually many sentences in the deck are split between multiple notes. This addon adds a button to the Anki Browser that allows you to merge contents of selected cards.

I recommend converting all notes to one note type before merging them. The add-on will ignore the fields that are present in one note but are not present in the other.

Features

  1. Merge or duplicate selected notes.
  2. Change settings before merging. To open quick settings, click "Edit" > "Merge Notes Settings" in the Anki Browser.
  3. Ability to specify a field separator. You can decide what string is inserted as a separator between the merged fields.
  4. Merge tags of selected cards.
  5. Delete original notes after merging.
  6. Choose direction of the merge: by Due number, by Sort Field or by Sort Field (numeric). The latter checks if there's a number in the field and sorts by the number first.
  7. Merge in reverse order.
  8. Skip non-empty fields to perform a partial merge.
  9. Merge duplicate notes. Go to "Browser" > "Notes" > "Find duplicates", search duplicates and click "Merge duplicates" after the search has finished.

Installation

The addon can be installed from Ankiweb.

Contributing

Install manually with git:

git clone 'https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/mergenotes.git'
ln -sr mergenotes/merge_notes ~/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/mergenotes

Configuration

To configure the add-on, open the Anki Add-on Menu via "Tools" > "Add-ons" and select "mergenotes". Then click the "Config" button on the right-side of the screen.

Most of the settings can be accessed by opening the Anki Browser and selecting "Edit" > "Merge Notes Options...". Before merging duplicates, I recommend enabling the "Delete original notes" option.

Field separator is the string inserted between the merged fields. It is empty by default, but you can change it to a space, comma or any HTML tag like <br>. You can also use escaped characters like "\n" or "\t" to insert a linebreak or tab.
