Description

       Adds a new menu item to the card browser that allows you to: The changes will be applied to all selected notes that feature the selected field. USAGE Here's a quick instruction video that demonstrates these features: OTHER REMARKS The add-on uses the first selected note to generate the field list you're presented with. So please make sure to select a note with the right fields. CHANGELOG Version 0.3.0 – 2019-06-02 Important note for Anki 2.0 users: As this release completely overhauls the add-on structure, you will have to uninstall any existing versions of the add-on before updating.

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
on 1682962878
If you are a heavy Anki user, this Add-on is indispensable!
on 1681493286
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!!

Don't let it die
Comment from author
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.
on 1648974534
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).
on 1648725733
Finally I can create reverse cards with one push of a button :'))
on 1638607047
Obsolete. Everything that this add-on does can be done better with Anki's built-in find and replace function.

Should be implemented in Anki
Must have add-on
on 1617210696
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
on 1616350717
Thanks
on 1615701441
great for adding stuff at the end

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

Essential.

VERY VERY USEFUL
on 1610025257
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.
on 1609925451
it doesn't support regular expression😥
on 1608633986
Incredibly useful. Thank you so much for this addon!
on 1608485064
must have
on 1607727928
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
on 1606913267
Perfect! Simple and efficient, and even allows one to undo the batch edit in case anything goes wrong.
on 1605914977
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.
on 1605697727
Works as intended!
on 1604524157
good
on 1604236846
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!
on 1604024754
Super useful! Should be part of Anki itself!
on 1603940084
thank you
on 1602341788
Really helpful. One suggestion, would like to be able to find/replace within individual fields.

I will cry if I remember time spend in editing cards without this addon
on 1596379470
Great add on!
on 1595538580
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).
on 1594783876
Saves a lot of time ...

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

Amazing
on 1585594768
Works great. Thank you for making this.
on 1584824904
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?
on 1584217801
A suggestion: I could add the pencil tool and the eraser tool, so that the elaboration of mental maps was possible.
on 1582976574
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.
on 1582476627
Edited some information on a bunch of cards and worked perfectly, Thanks!
on 1580973463
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.
on 1580800376
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!

One of the must-haves. Super easy to have and very useful. Works like a charm in version 2.1.13
on 1559021754
Confirming that it works on Anki 2.1.13. You saved me a ton of time, thanks!
on 1556463955
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:

//
Debug info:
Anki 2.1.12 (eef86bf3) Python 3.6.7 Qt 5.12.1 PyQt 5.11.3
Platform: Windows 10
Flags: frz=True ao=True sv=2

Caught exception:

It still works though so long as I save the image first to the desktop! I'm on windows 10 with anki 2.1x.
on 1554637414
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.
