Changes

  • Added multiple default note types to select from.
  • Added support for custom user-created note types.

New default note types

Multiple default note types now allow to easily select the direction of translations you want to generate cards for. Options are:

  • Sõnaveeb (from Estonian)
  • Sõnaveeb (into Estonian)
  • Sõnaveeb (bidirectional)

The first two generate 1 card per note with one-way translations from and into Estonian respectively, the last one generates both (same as the old default "Sõnaveeb Basic").

Custom note types

Custom note types allow you to have a full control over what cards are generated, what they contain, and how they look. See note types documentation for more info.

Previously there was an undocumented reserved note type for that called "Sõnaveeb Custom", which was used automatically if existed. But it was more of a hidden escape hatch rather than a properly supported custom note type. You couldn't easily select it and it would break if the field list of the default note type is changed upstream. This logic is now removed. The new custom note types will receive updates to their field list as well as the default ones.

Deprecation of old note types

The old default note type "Sõnaveeb Basic" and the optional one "Sõnaveeb Custom" are now abandoned. Existing notes in users' collections will remain usable as they are, but they aren't going to be migrated to the new note types automatically. You can manually migrate your collection to the new note types and clean-up the old ones if you prefer. A quick instruction:

  1. Click "Browse" in the main window.
  2. Paste the following query in the search bar: deck:* "note:Sõnaveeb Basic".
  3. Select all notes in the search result (click on one of them and then Ctrl+A).
  4. Click RMB and select "Change Note Type..." or press Ctrl+Shift+M.
  5. Select one of the new default note types and click save.
  6. Delete "Sõnaveeb Basic" note type:
    6.1. In main window "Tools -> Manage Note Types" or Ctrl+Shift+N.
    6.2. Select "Sõnaveeb Basic".
    6.2. !!! Make sure it says "0 notes" in the brackets.
    6.3. Click "Delete".
  7. Sync the database if you're using Anki Web account.
