README

Fetch review and change from ankiweb

Rationale

Sometime, your database is said to be "inconsistent" and you need to decide whether you keep the version on the web or on your computer. This is a nightmare if you did change on your computer and on other device.

This add-on purpose is to partially solve this problem by fetching all "safe" changes online. Technically, the safe changes are:

  • the review (for statistics purpose)
  • the cards when the same card exists on server and on the computer (same card id)
  • the notes when the same note exists on server and on the computer (same note id, same note type)

Usage

In the main window, do: Tools > Partial sync

Warning

Big Download

The add-on download the entire collection. This is mandatory to study it and find all changes to incorporate them in the current collection. If your collection is big, it may takes time. (Images are not downloaded; this is similar to a full sync)

Beta

This is still in version beta. Make a back up before trying it and check your collection to ensure everything is as you expected.

TODO

Allow to download and apply "safe" change from computer onto the web version.
