An add-on to copy anki's note

Copy notes

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

To copy a note:

1. Open the card browser
2. Select at least one note.
3. 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.

anki-copy-note's Issues

Do not copy marks when copying as new (optional)

When doing that based on marks, I may want to delete the original cards. But if I accidentally select all of the cards I copied, it will be hard to notice because both copies are still marked.

Error when copying card

With the newest Anki 2.1.32 I get an error as soon as I try to copy the card with Crtl+C in the browser.

Here is the error report:

Error
An error occurred. Please start Anki while holding down the shift key, which will temporarily disable the add-ons you have installed.
If the issue only occurs when add-ons are enabled, please use the Tools > Add-ons menu item to disable some add-ons and restart Anki, repeating until you discover the add-on that is causing the problem.

Thanks for sharing your great add-ons

Suggestion for option: Automatically create a card relation tag

Hi Arthur,

I have an idea regarding two of your add-ons. See how you find it; maybe you want to implement it in the future.

Copied notes tend to be similar to each other. Therefore, users might want them to be treated like siblings, i.e. buried.
Fortunately, you've already created the relation add-on for this. The relation process still requires manual steps. I imagine it could be automated with an option in "copy notes" to enable it, e.g. "add relation tag to copy and original".
As you are the creator of both add-ons, I assume you are the best for ensuring compatibility.
One issue that's come to my mind is that people can have differently named tags in their "Bury related notes" config.

Furthermore, this will bring your add-on "Bury related notes" to greater popularity because "Copy notes" is already widely used.

support Qt6

https://github.com/ankitects/anki/releases/tag/23.10beta6

The Qt5 compatibility code is now off by default, which may break some add-ons that haven't been updated to support Qt6 in the last 2 years. If you find any have broken, please report the issues to the add-on author, and start Anki after setting the env var ENABLE_QT5_COMPAT to 1 to temporarily restore the compatibility code.

error: name 'card' is not defined

Hi Arthur, your add-on is great, thanks for your hard work. Just today I install Anki and your add-on on another PC and when I try to copy a note there is a pop-up indicate that an error has occured:

copy log = review history?

Comprehension question: When the option "copy log" = true, is the add-on expected to copy the review history? For example, this:

not working with Anki 2.1.47

I have used this add-on repeatedly for quite a while. It has been fantastic. It now doesn't function. I disabled all other add-ons then attempted to run Copy-Note but it still did not work. Seems to be very similar error to #34. See error details below:

[Anki 23.10.1] Shortcut works where it shouldn't

The note is copied when the note editor is focused, e.g. when trying to copy tags.

I commented a.setShortcut(QKeySequence(getUserOption("Shortcut: copy", "Ctrl+C"))) out in copyNote.py in my local install to disable the shortcut.

Since the last update, Anki freezes when I try to copy any card.

Please tell me what further information could be useful, I'll supply it.

Notes copied with ["Preserve ease, due, interval...": false] are not treated as new.

Hello! I have been using this addon since a while and I loved it. My main use is to copy the structure of an existing note and change its content to avoid create a new note from scratch. My addon config is:

"Copy log": false,

"Preserve creation time": false,

"Preserve ease, due, interval...": false,

"Shortcut: copy": "Ctrl+C",

"correct import": true,

"current tag prefix": "relation_",

"relate copies": false,

"tag for copies": "Copy",

"tag prefixes": [

    "relation_"

]

Today I was reviewing my cards and a new card appears with a strange interval, much greater that my 15m interval if I press "good" (my learning steps are [1 15 1440 4320]), so I look at the browser and the card information showed something like this. So the problem seems to be that the "due" date is not changed even though the "preserve ease, due,..." option is not enabled.

Also, I tried to "Reposition" this new copied card and I couldn't do, but if I press "Forget" the card, and then try to "Reposition" it, it works.
My Anki version is 2.1.42 btw.

Very bad crashes in Anki 2.1.38. Any chance for the update? Please man!

The extension does not work with Anki 2.1.38 and it can destroy the software. But I found that extension very useful in the past and I really hope you will consider updating the extension.

I want to reset all information in thousands of cards including the creation time, modification time and so on. It is possible by coping cards. You are my only hope Mr Developer.

Please help.

Anki freezes when trying to copy more than 3 cards

Hello,

I am using the copy notes addon: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1566928056

It was working fine until the last few days. Now anytime I try to copy notes more than 3 the whole program freezes and I have to restart anki. This happens on my windows and mac version. If i copy 2 cards, anki doesnt freeze but it takes several minutes for the program to process copying cards. Thanks for your help!

Project abandoned?

Hi,

I was wondering, it here will be an update yet, or if the project is abandondend. Unfortunately th addon doesn't work anymore and causes problems.

Thanks.

Tested ijgnd's new version and found no issues

Hi @ijgnd ,

apologies for the delay. I just tested your latest version of Arthur's copy notes addon and can only report success.

I cloned a collection from 3000 to ~ 14000 cards and had no issues: Not while doing reviews, not in preview mode and not after syncing, reviewing in AnkiWeb and syncing back. I also made Anki do a database check. I used Anki 2.1.47.

One question that came to my mind: You clone notes by creating a new nid with the old nid value +1. What if this nid is already taken? I assume you check beforehand? Otherwise I don't see much that could go wrong.

One other thing: Could you imagine working with me on this project? As I mentioned I would be willing to pay for it.

Only option present is 'Note Copy', no option for setting the card to new

Not working in anki 23.10

Hello!
First of all, I really like this add-on and I would like to thank you.
My issue is that ANKI 23.10 version came out today and this addon does not work.
I would really appreciate it if you could update it.
Have a good day!

I think I've been getting this error when I select Copy Note from the menu since the recent update. At least I assume it was the update since I haven't used it a lot, but I know when I first downloaded and tried it out a while back it it was working then, but not recently when I wanted to try to use it again.

time.py missing from repository

I downloaded the repo to see if I could tweak some things I'm interested in, but I noticed that time.py isn't committed to the git repo. It's in the anki addon download though, so maybe it was just missed in the most recent commit?

Review History is not Copied Correctly

Title.

I copy a note which has 6 mature cards. In the copied version only one card has any review history, and all of said history is erroneously on that one Card. So that card has review history, but it does not sync up with the original card.

Anki version: 2.1.44

[Anki 2.1.66] the relation tag is added only to the copy

Anki 2.1.66.

Due date is not reset

I fail a card; Rememorize reschedules its siblings; I copy the note as new… one of the cards (probably the one I failed, hence the one that was Relearning) is due today — "is:new is:due".

Anki 2.1.22, config.json:

{
  "Shortcut: copy":"Ctrl+C",
  "Preserve creation time" : false,
  "Preserve ease, due, interval...": false,
  "Copy log": false,
  "correct import": true,
  "current tag prefix": "relation-",
  "tag prefixes": ["relation-", "relation_"],
  "relate copies": false
}

"Invalid configuration" error when trying to save options

I am using Anki 2.1.35 on macOS 10.15.6 (Catalina) and I just downloaded Anki Copy Note.

I want to copy some cards from a deck, and I don't care about copying the history (creation time, ease, etc), so I went to "Tools", then "Add-ons", then "Copy notes", then "Config". I changed the "Copy log", "Preserve creation time", and "Preserve ease, due, interval..." settings to false, clicked "OK", and saw a dialog box saying Invalid configuration: TypeError("argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable") with a single button saying "OK".

I thought I messed something up in the config, so I clicked "Restore Defaults", then "OK", and saw the same error.

How can I be able to save my preferences for Copy Note?

@ijgnd

The add-on doesn't work with the most recent version of Anki (2.1.26)

Thanks for a great add-on!

Upgrading to Anki 2.1.26, I'm sad to see that it is deemed incompatible.

I hope you will update the add-on so that it'll work again.

Best regards,
Rasmus

I need both "Copy as New" and "Copy Full".

I use "Copy as New" to reset notes completely, and also "Copy Full" now to split notes. I guess it would be easy for me to just make a second copy of the add-on with small changes, but still.

Cards containing more than 11 fileds won't be copied.

It seems that the addon cannot copy cards which contains more than 11 fields.
Here's the error report.

The creation time is not preserved in the copied card when "Preserve creation time" is set to true.

I use anki version 2.1.44.
The "Preserve creation time" is set to true. However the date of creation of the new card (the copy) is the date when the copy was made, not the date of creation of the original card, which is the expected behaviour.

Config:
{
"Copy log": true,
"Preserve creation time": true,
"Preserve ease, due, interval...": true,
"Shortcut: copy": "Ctrl+C",
"correct import": true,
"current tag prefix": "relation_",
"relate copies": false,
"tag for copies": "Copy",
"tag prefixes": [
"relation_"
]
}

It would be awesome to add a tag to copied notes to make sorting them easier
