Description

Advanced Browser -- add more features to the card browser. Advanced Browser is an Anki add-on that aims to add useful features or enhance the usability of the card browser. Below is a list of features available at the moment. Note fields as columns This allows the addition of any field in your decks as a column that you can display and sort. This means you can have more than just Sort Field as a usable column. You must right-click on the column bar to get a list of columns to add. If you prefer to see every field in a single context menu instead of grouping fields by note type, you can toggle the behaviour by editing the configuration item Use a single list for fields using Anki's add-on manager and setting it to true. More useful columns You can also add these extra columns: - First review date - Latest review date - Average answer time - Total answer time - Tags (sortable) If you would like to report an issue, discuss the add-on, or offer contributions, please open a new issue on the add-on's github page. Changes in 4.2: - Add column alignment option and minor script changes (Thanks to ijgnord and vwkd) Changes in 4.1: - Updated for 2.1.50, including PyQt6 support. Better build script and defaults (Thanks to ijgnord!) Changes in 4.0: - Updated for 2.1.45 (Thanks to Rumo!) Changes in 3.9: - Fixed clearing initial state on browser open (e.g. didn't start on current card) Changes in 3.8 (Anki 2.1.41+ only) - Upgraded to support browser changes in Anki - Some errors will show "{error}" in the column instead of crashing the browser Changes in 3.7: - Fixed internal fields not sorting - Fix sorting of 'Ease' and 'Original Deck' Changes in 3.6 (Anki 2.1.35+ only): - Fixed advanced columns not sorting due to changes in Anki's internals - Advanced columns with no value no longer show a string like "0%" or "0 seconds". They are blank and will always sort below rows with any value. Changes in 3.5.1: - Reverted change causing errors. Changes in 3.5: - Fixed ability to copy internal fields Changes in 3.4: - Added column for card created date/time (to distinguish from note created date/time) - Provide separate columns for date-only and date time, to suit your preference Changes in 3.3: - Fixed a potential error when searching right after showing context menu - Fixed some console warnings from deprecated usage (Thanks Arthur) Changes in 3.2: - More compatibility fixes for 2.1.24. - The Flags column is now available as an advanced column (instead of hidden behind setting) Changes in 3.0: - Some major changes to keep the add-on working with the different internals of Anki 2.1.24. Let me know if anything behaves differently. - Thanks to Arthur, you can now copy the content of the current table cell (with Ctrl+C). There is also the option to allow inline editing of note data from within the browser results as well. That feature must be turned on in the settings. Please read the documentation if you do as it could be dangerous to use. Changes in: 2.7 - Fix opening browser from reviewer while using note-mode not showing same card as reviewer (thanks Arthur) Changes in 2.6: - Allow sorting by more Anki-provided fields like deck names - Better handling of media in fields - Configurable shortcut for note-mode Changes in 2.5.1: - Fix issue with <br> in fields looking off Changes in 2.5: - Fixed issue where no results would appear in the browser on Mac (when sorting by column with non-alphanumeric characters) (thanks lin onetwo for helping me debug this) - Added new column: created (differs from built-in version by showing the created time as well) - Internal fields extension is now configurable instead of requiring code changes to enable (thanks Arthur Milchior) Changes in 2.4: - Fixed error when opening menu after adding a new field - Added configuration option to show all fields in one list instead of sub-menus (thanks Arthur Milchior) Changes in 2.3: - Fix display of RTL fields (render the text as RTL instead of just the visual direction) - Fix note-mode toggle shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+N) Changes in 2.2: - Note browser mode (1 row per note) (thanks Arthur Milchior) - Fix handling of media fields (some media-only fields were treated as empty) Changes in 2.1.2: - Fix sorting by Tags Changes in 2.0.0: - Added support for Anki 2.1. This add-on will no longer be updated for Anki 2.0.x. This add-on is now managed under the Anki Palace Github Organization in order to keep it better up to date for everyone!       Check out our Anki Mastery Course!        https://courses.ankipalace.com

awesome addon, thanks a lot for sharing your work!
on 1649310899
Works perfectly, a must-have add-on !!! Thanks for this one!!!
on 1649099720
10/10 because it allows me to sort my cards by date. This basic feature should not require an addon to be used, but o well.
on 1648139778
using it in 2.1.49 in windows, works perfectly fine :D
on 1647475771
anki ⁨2.1.49 mac. I installed addon but my browse page did not change at all. I expected be able to sort by fields, but its still same as before. Pls update
on 1647440774
Cool addon! I just want to note that this addon crashes Anki if you open the "browse" tab and have a card(s) flagged with a color than red, green, blue, or orange. This addon doesn't work with the turquoise flag from the official Anki iOS app, for example. I will add this to Github but am mentioning it here incase anyone comes across this in the mean time.
on 1643827775
it does not work for version 2.1.49 😪
Comment from author
It works on 2.1.49. If you're having an issue, can you post it on the Github? We'll get to it as soon as possible. Leaving a negative review here does nothing other than confuse users
on 1642976197
Thank you, now I can attempt the basic function that is sorting my deck by creation date. Very cool.
on 1641413325
Thanks for making this Add-On! It improves my Anki workflow by a lot and works great!! Keep it up!
on 1641256826
Thank you so much.I even could not describe this add-on cause it's so useful and solve my problem.
on 1640467157
Broken again with the upcoming .50:

core.py @ line 91: SORTING_NORMAL is now SORTING_ASCENDING
core.py @ line 50: 'QTableView' object has no attribute 'DoubleClicked'
various deprecations from QT6 & Anki itself

Anyway, a great feature addition would be to be able to restrict the search range for unqualified query parts (ie., those without "field::") from all fields to either only the note type's sort-field or a set of arbitrary user-selected ones.
on 1640105639
Must have :D
on 1638205068
great addon! I've been using for a long time now. Only one minor issue: When I add a column it always shows up at the very right end, so it's annoying everytime to put it back to the left (cuz in the middle there are dozens of other columns/fields, and different cards have different columns so often fields that don' exist in a specific deck show up, empty of course). Otherwise it would also be appreciated if oldest recalled fields are automatically deselected, each time I call a new column/field (maybe leaving a set number of, say 7/8, columns on the browser with only the most newly recalled ones)
on 1637860197
Can the author PLEASE update the addon so the newly-created column is aligned to the left, like the others? By default, the contents align to the center.

There's even a merge request for this on the addon's github page, but I don't think it was completed yet.

Aside from this, great addon!
on 1636597968
Does NOT work. I am also using version 2.1.49. I installed the add on but it doesn't appear, as if I don't have the add on
Comment from author before post was edited
Can you explain what's not working? The best would be to post an issue on github with your anki version and what isn't working. I am using it on 2.1.49 and it works currently. We'll do our best to look into this, but posting a dislike just saying it doesn't work is not very helpful and there's no way for us to fix the problem
on 1635068451
very helpful
on 1634215115
Good! It helps me a lot when editing cards
on 1628110479
It doesn't work (Anki 2.1.44); I installed, but nothing happens. It's like I don't have it at all.
Ça marche pas (Anki 2.1.44); je l'ai installé mais rien ne s'est passé. C'est comme si je ne l'avais pas du tout.

The Anki Palace has taken over this add-on and updated it. Everything should be working now. If not, please submit an issue on GitHub and we will promptly address it!

I think once I tried to sort brows entries by one of the filters of this add-on and since then I am getting this error whenever I open up my brows window:
```
DBError { info: "SqliteFailure(Error { code: Unknown, extended_code: 1 }, Some(\"near \\\"select\\\": syntax error\"))", kind: Other }
```

I had to remove it to make that error go away.

Should be implemented in Anki, must have add-on

it makes U know the card in the browser

Fundamental!
on 1604880407
It is nice!
on 1604550799
This is one of the most useful add-ons.

It would great to make the following enhancement: auto-hide a column temporarily if none of the cards in the browser's current search results has such a field. Once at least one of the search result cards has such a field, the column would be shown again automatically.

Needed a way to see the cards I make mnemonics for. I put them in the "Extras" field and this allowed me to finally sort by that.

It's pretty handy but what about including this feature to make it even more so?: https://github.com/hssm/advanced-browser/issues/96
on 1596315663
Great add-on! However, I have different decks with very different note types (different fields). Could it be possible to make it show different fields depending on the deck / note type / whole collection you're browsing?

Helpful！ Thank you for creating!
on 1588783875
It works perfectly and is very useful
on 1588484708
Works well..

However, In previous versions there was an option at the bottom to "show notes only"
I am unable to figure out how to turn this on post update.

Otherwise would be the perfect plugin for my deck/tag/card structure where I generate multiple questions from the one note.

I wanted to display in the list a new column with a specific card's field and I am glad I found your addon. Thanks for your work!
on 1587626167
Awesome! This give me just the little bit of extra control on the browser view that gives me the feeling
that I can make the software work for me without annoying me. currently I"m using the 'note view' (don't show
me two rows for each item..), plus I made lots of use of the new column options. Now it feels that I have much
better, simpler, intuitive view and control over the set of cards (oops, notes) that I am creating for my learning.
Thanks a lot!

Went terribly wrong in my 2.1 installation. This was the first add-on I have added. Not only did the functionality not work, but it added miscellaneous words in the tags to several of my notes, creating a fair amount of trash. It disturbes me that this app trashes out my notes database.

essential. I never had problems with this add-on.

But other browser related add-ons have caused problems for me in the past. If you have problems with your browser and suspect this add-on don't forget to disable other add-ons and restart to see if the problem persists.

Be careful, sometimes it could lead to inconsistent state.

adds many functions, while keeping things uncluttered
e. g. "show only notes" option replaces https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/594622823
edit: even better than it: shows card 2 if there is no card 1!

Nice add-on really.
Sadly there's a fly in the ointment. :(
Just found one flaw that with this add-on Undo doesn't work in Browser.
If you delete some cards in browser by mistake then you can't Undo and the cards will be gone for ever!
I tried several things and figured out that this add-on is a culprit!
I'm using Anki Version 2.0.52. and if you have some time please can you fix this bug? I'll appreciate that!
Thanks in advance!
on 1549050365
Fantastic addon! One thing that would help data-driven browsing: separate columns for "reviews" that count learning or relearning reviews (instances where a card is seen in filtered, learning, and re-learning steps) separately from actual reviews (instances where a cards is reviewed in a young or mature card status).

Awesome feature for Teachers working with High School students

The 1.5.3 version adds the ability to have a column for Previous Duration time. This allows teachers to give a timed math test with 20 problems
and see which problems the students took the most time on. It also allows the students to go into the browser and work on these problems that took more time to work. For classroom work this is awesome. Thank you so much for this added functionality.

Now why you gotta keep taking my little scrolly bar thingy and movin' it all the way over there to the right side? I want my scrolly bar on the left side, and I want it to say there see? Seems every chance you get you take my scrolly bar and move it to the right and I've just about had it up to here with it! Why I oughta'... You leave my scrolly bar alone, see!

You just did it again! Here I was minding my business, repositioning a card, and then what do you know -- you went and moved my scrolly bar all the way to the right as soon as I had my back turned! That's a low blow, mister--a real low blow.

(Note: this could totally just be Anki's default behavior causing this rather than this addon, but it'd certainly be nice if the scroll bar didn't keep moving itself when performing various actions while the browser is open)

Fantastic addon

Thanks for the addon, it works as promised. Unfortunately I had to uninstall it cause my Anki started to crash randomly and quite often. It never happened before I installed the addon and doesn't happen now after I removed it. There is a bug somewhere but I couldn't reproduce it or catch a pattern when it crashes...

Same problem with the guy below

Phenomenal add-on, but it'd be nice if we'd get a down/continute arrow for other fields.

I can't see all available fields when I want to add one in the browser's tool ba

Thanks a million for this addon.

But there is a big problem:
I have several decks, and maybe 300 fields in total. But when I right-click on the "toolbar" (where there are the element you can chose to filter your notes), and select fields, a screen with all the filds listes alphabetically is displayed. BUT for me, this screen takes all my computer-screen, and I can't see the fields after "Kanki-conjugation". I can't navigate (with the arrow keys) through this screen either...
Let's see how I'm blocked with this picture :

Thank you for helping me :)

Adds Good functionality

And doesn't take anything away. Programming at its best. Sorting by any field is a goldmine in itself.

Extremely useful Add-on!

This is extremely useful and simple to use, and fully addresses my two top frustrations with the Anki browser:

1. Can now add/remove columns, including the user-defined fields (use right mouse click). Sort all columns just by clicking header.

2. Can store custom filters in the filter sidebar at left

Nice work! Both these capabilities certainly should be added to the vanilla version on Anki.

Just a reminder

After installing this add-on, you have to first manually add the "sortable" fields to the browser view, as the default fields are still non-sortable.

Perfect

Thanks for the great work. This saved me SO much time and effort. I agree that the developers of Anki should definitely make this a core feature of the program - it's pretty unbelievable it's not already. *****

Functionality that should be core, well executed.

What more can I say. This add-on will make using Anki that much easier and more intuitive.

Terrific Addon, should be a core Anki feature

This addon helps the Card Browser function as a useful Note Browser as well. It seems well written (wouldn't crash for me) and include what should be a core Anki feature: the ability to sort on any arbitrary field. Thank you Houssam Salem!
