First Impressions and Additional Questions

[wytchblade]

Hello @lervag , I have been testing out apyanki lately and I am very impressed with the convenience of the card generation and review workflow. However, I wanted to ask if you might be able to put some more information on the wiki regarding the different models that anki uses, especially when using the terminal to interface with specific models (this I can cetainly help with, just let me know what would be useful to show in an image/video format and I can perform those actions and send it to you via PR to the wiki)

Also, do you know how to delete cards from the database using only apyanki?

The other question is how do I add image files to cards if I am just using a markdown file to be ingested by the apy add-from-file command? I haven't yet figured this out because it isn't particularly clear from the wiki how to do this. Thank you very much for your continued effort on this codebase, this is how Anki should have been from the beginning!

This is what I see in my terminal:

Cool, very glad to hear it!

To be honest, I don't really aim to or want to maintain the wiki too much. Anyone is invited to contribute! Personally, I instead want to focus on the documentation in the README file and the help text in the tool, and of course, on the maintenance and further development of apy itself.

Also, do you know how to delete cards from the database using only apyanki?

Currently, you need to use apy review to delete cards - and you can only delete notes. A note may have multiple cards.

apy review is used to maintain and update your note collection.

The other question is how do I add image files to cards if I am just using a markdown file to be ingested by the apy add-from-file command?

Good question - I guess it's not really documented anywhere. Basically:

0. Given a file called image-name.png (other file types are also accepted, see the main Anki docs for more info).

1. Copy or move the file into your Anki base directory. Let's say this directory is ~/.local/share/Anki2/User\ 1/collection.media, then:

   mv image-name.png ~/.local/share/Anki2/User\ 1/collection.media/

2. Finally, use either markdown syntax ![description](image-name.png) or html <img src="image-name.png" alt="description" /> (the alt= is not really necessary) to link the image in your note fields.

I haven't yet figured this out because it isn't particularly clear from the wiki how to do this. Thank you very much for your continued effort on this codebase, this is how Anki should have been from the beginning!

Thanks for the kind words!
