Suggest Starting Ease for the deck's options group
<10kB. Updated 2016-03-26.
Description
* Calculates the average ease for the decks of the current deck's options group, and suggests setting the Starting Ease to a value halfway between it and 250%. Maybe that's
not a very good idea. A starting ease that is too low
wastes time (note that both eases should grow: you delete old hard cards, but also become better at making cards). See
Ideas for a possibly better way.
* Calculates the average ease of the current deck, and shows it if it's significantly different from the group's average ease (the deck might need a different group).
* Boldens the text if the Starting Ease is farther from 250% than the average ease is.
* The output is on the Study screen, and only when certain difference exists.
* Subdecks of a deck are not considered its part, because that's how options groups work.
Bugs
* Buried cards are ignored.
Ideas
*
A possibly better way: except for small decks, use (directly) the average ease of a significant amount of cards with the most recent First Review. How to do it manually: use the
Advanced Browser addon to sort by First Review, move some recent cards to a separate deck, then find the average ease in that deck's statistics.

A question
Posted on 2016-03-21
In your readme you say:
A possibly better way: except for small decks, use (directly) the average ease of a significant amount of cards with the most recent First Review.
How can you do that? I don't find the "first review" filter in Anki. And if I could get it, how do you get the average ease of a group of selected cards in the browser?
Very useful

I've been using this to optimize the ease for various decks and card types (vocab vs names vs facts, etc..)
I'd like to see more info/features/built-in guidance on how to modify ease to meet specific goals (such as, how to aim for %90 accuracy w/o doing the math out by hand, or to see how the accuracy would be affected were the ease to be bumped up X amount)
Thanks again for the awesome add-on!
