Improving: Change note type

This add-on improves «Change note type» in two related ways.

Rationale

clozed note

Currently, anki has a limitation when you want to change a card type from or to a clozed note type.

Without this add-on, if you want to change a standard note to a clozed note type, you can move a single card, and it will move to cloze 1.

If you want to change a clozed note type to a standard type, only cloze 1 will be changed.

With this add-on, you'll be able to change any card type to any cloze number and reciprocally. The only restriction is that you need to have the cloze number in the fields before changing TO a clozed note type. Because this add-on will only allow you to choose one of the cloze number appearing in a field.

Considering when fields and card types have the same name

When I use anki, I may multiple note types having a card types named «definition», for example. When I change the note type of a card, I then want, by default, the card «definition» to be mapped to the card «definition», even if they are not in the same position in the list of card type.

This add-on does that. It ensures that, by default, when source and target note types have a card types/fields which have the same name, then by default, they map to each other.

This can be deactivated in the configuration.

Default «change note type» window occuring with this add-on.

Warning

This add-on was created 3rd of June 2019. It is still new, and may have unfound bugs. So please, before using it, make a back-up, check whether the note type change went allright, and let me know either if it worked or if you had a bug

Configuration

There is a single configuration option. If you set "Associate to same name" to true, the add-ons will set the default option of each card types/fields to be the card types/fields with the same name. Otherwise, if it is set to false, the add-on will keep the default way.
