🌮 Sets the ease factor of Anki cards to the value you choose.

RefoldEase

RefoldEase sets the Ease factor of all the cards in your collection to the value you choose, and updates Interval Modifier and Starting Ease in every option group.

The addon is intended for people who want to switch from default Anki settings to the setup recommended by Tatsumoto. If you've been using Anki for a while, simply changing the settings won't help because all your cards would still retain their Ease factors. The only way to reset Ease factors of your cards is to use an external tool. If you have used the recommended settings from the beginning, this add-on is not needed. The other feature of this add-on is to undo damage that was caused by overusing the "hard" button, in other words, to swiftly escape from "ease hell."

You can run the add-on by going to Tools > Refold Ease.

Installation

Install from AnkiWeb, or manually with git:

git clone 'https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/RefoldEase.git' ~/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/RefoldEase

Configuration

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

About

The name RefoldEase is a pun. I changed "reset" to "refold" because an add-on named "Reset Ease" already existed on AnkiWeb, but it didn't suit my needs.

refoldease's Issues

older Anki version support

Quite a few folks are on Anki 2.1.22, so maybe we should handle older Anki versions nicely? Right now the add-on dies at:

Caught exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Josh\AppData\Roaming\Anki2\addons21\RefoldEase\__init__.py", line 249, in onConfirm
    updateGroups(self.easeSpinBox.value(), self.imSpinBox.value())
  File "C:\Users\Josh\AppData\Roaming\Anki2\addons21\RefoldEase\__init__.py", line 90, in updateGroups
    dconfs = mw.col.decks.all_config()
AttributeError: 'DeckManager' object has no attribute 'all_config'

Because all_config was added in a later Anki release (but allConf existed before). Then again, most people will update once the Migaku add-ons are updated to the latest Anki version.
