Reviews

Works but you can only add in images that you have screenshotted or saved on your computer. If you want to copy paste a bunch of separate images into the editor at once you're out of luck. Very annoying

If you are a heavy Anki user, this Add-on is indispensable!

I was able to easily add an image to a specific field in an entire set of cards in under 10 seconds! Thank you so much!!

What a lot of time was saved, thank you!

Thank you!

Batch Editing saves time

Thank you. Can you work on enabling coping/adding hyperlinks

Thanks for the rating, glad you enjoy the add-on!
Definitely planning to! One of my top priority add-ons after Review Heatmap is updated.

I use this instead of anki's find and replace for most batch edits because it's quick and usually all I need.
One unique function I use often is batch adding images (including to reverse/remark/answer sides of image occlusion cards).

Finally I can create reverse cards with one push of a button :'))

Obsolete. Everything that this add-on does can be done better with Anki's built-in find and replace function.

¡Qué maravilla!

Time-saver

Useful

Amaziiiing!!!

amazingly useful addon

Made editing easier.

Great

Very good

Thank you for this and all other Add-ons you provide for free. I'm a poor student from Brazil and I will surely support your work once I graduate and have money to do so!

Bulk editing, perfect

Useful

thank you so much Glutanimate!

Should be implemented in Anki
Must have add-on
Must have add-on

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the functionality of this add-on is already built-in in Anki:
* Select the cards you want to batch-edit.
* Choose ‘Notes’ → ‘Find and Replace…’ from the menu or hit Ctrl+Alt+F.
* In the ‘Find’ field type ‘^’ (without the quotation marks, of course…) if you want to add stuff before the content, ‘$’ if you want to add stuff after it or ‘.*’ if you want to replace it.
* Type in the ‘Replace With’ field whatever you want.
* Check ‘Treat input as a regular expression’.
* Press ‘OK’.
In fact, Anki’s Find and Replace mechanism is even more nuanced than that, as one can see in the documentation:
https://docs.ankiweb.net/#/browsing?id=find-and-replace

* Choose ‘Notes’ → ‘Find and Replace…’ from the menu or hit Ctrl+Alt+F.

great for adding stuff at the end

非常方便實用的工具!

very useful!

No idea why I didn't look for this sooner. Glutanimate, you're a saint.

Essential.

VERY VERY USEFUL

BUT...Also generates cards. For example, if you have cards that use a template with 3 sides, but only have 2 active. This add one will not only do what it's designed to do (which is great), but also create a pointless card. You'll have to use the sort "card" column to find them and remove.

it doesn't support regular expression😥

Incredibly useful. Thank you so much for this addon!

must have

This is great. I needed to update tags on a group of notes wihtin a deck, and this did it in 5 seconds versus one at a time. Genius

Perfect! Simple and efficient, and even allows one to undo the batch edit in case anything goes wrong.

Works as intended, saves quite a bit of time when editing.
Just downloaded this addon, will definitely consider donating on patreon once I have used it more and it keeps saving me time.

Very helpful! I tried to support you on Patreon, setting up an account there for the first time to pay you for your years of efforts and many helpful contributions to the Anki community, but Patreon suspended my account as soon as I set it up, for some reason. I've appealed the suspension; hopefully I'll be allowed to support you!

Super useful! Should be part of Anki itself!

thank you

Really helpful. One suggestion, would like to be able to find/replace within individual fields.

It is really useful, thanks a lot.

Very useful!

批量更改更方便

Amazing add-on, saves loooooots of time, love it

Perfect!

I will cry if I remember time spend in editing cards without this addon

Great add on!

Great & extremely helpful! Only 1 suggestion for improvement; allow for adding content, specifically images, from the clipboard. As it is now, I can't add an image unless it's saved as a file.
Comment from author
Thanks for the kind words and feedback! This is definitely something I want to fix (adding images from the clipboard used to work, but then got broken in one of the recent Anki updates).

Saves a lot of time ...

Thank you so much... Love this Add on ....# Time Saver...

Works great! saved me a good min!

Helped me edit my collection of ~210 000 cards, thank you! <3

I didn't know this existed. Man, it saved a lot of time. Thanks a lot man. Much appreciated :)

big time saver

Very useful!

Batch editing helps in editing cards, especially in pasting numerous photos.

Great for adding a reverse card quickly

Looks great! Thanks

excellent addon

Amazing

Works great. Thank you for making this.

Great add-on, but the copying image from clipboard function is not working for me (Macbook, 2.1.21). When I click on the paperclip button after copying an image to my clipboard, it always just takes me to my files instead of pasting the image. Any way to fix this?

A suggestion: I could add the pencil tool and the eraser tool, so that the elaboration of mental maps was possible.

Absoultely essential add-on.
Please add an option to disable the line break when selecting "Add after", though. As someone who doesn't know python, it took me 10 minutes to find and remove the \n in the correct file. Even better would be to enable editing content that has line breaks itself. Currently, pressing ENTER or SHIFT+ENTER will always close the dialog.
Still, great add-on, thanks.

Edited some information on a bunch of cards and worked perfectly, Thanks!

Quick and easy. I add a field called "reference" to all my notes so that I can see the manual or tech pub where I got the info for that note from but I don't always type the title the same way on each note. With this, I can easily go back and select all the cards, change the reference title, and then filtering by that reference is more accurate.

I used this as a first step to show a field in the backpart of a the notes ONLY if the content was not "---".
Adding the default value "---" to the affected field worked like a charm.
Thanks Glutanimate!

saves time

Good!

One of the must-haves. Super easy to have and very useful. Works like a charm in version 2.1.13

Confirming that it works on Anki 2.1.13. You saved me a ton of time, thanks!

God bless you this is exactly what I needed!!
One issue I've noted though is that the 'add image from clipboard' function is giving me an error:
//

It still works though so long as I save the image first to the desktop! I'm on windows 10 with anki 2.1x.

This has saved me an untold amount of time, particularly with custom card types like overlapping clozed cards or image occluded cards that I didn't fill out properly.

absolutely amazing and necessary!! I have been adding a single fa pic per card to zaki deck and it was taking me forever!! thank u so much glutanimate

Very useful when working with Advanced Browser

Going to google to see if someone knows how to do this and finding someone who shared it with everyone is just <3

Fantastic. Thank you

Works very good and it's easy to use. It's also immensely useful if you're migrating from standard note types to custom ones with more fields. Thank you.

No reason to skip this addon. Easy to use and incredibly convinient

Helped me out a huge amount

Thanks fo much for this!

This saves me so much time, thanks a ton!









Wonderful!
App works exactly as described. Saved me countless hours updating older images on large decks. Thank you!

Amazing, saved me hundreds of hours by allowing me to add media in batches, thanks so much Glutanimate!


So helpful
I've been adding little blurbs about the grammatical rules that apply to my foreign language flashcards, pasting them in one at a time. This is so much better. Thank you for the wonderful add on!

Exactly what I was after
Thank you! This was exactly the functionality I was looking for (with one caveat: to be able to modify tags as well as fields). Very grateful, thanks!
