Make ‘respecting the movement of cards between decks’ optional about crowdanki HOT 7 CLOSED

@Stvad cf. https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html#using-decks-appropriately — as mentioned above, the literal manual says “don't do this, it makes Anki slow, Anki isn't optimised to do this”

Maybe I'm missing something, but why do you need to merge the decks if you can have a hierarchy of them?

from crowdanki.

People do not use CrowdAnki to merge decks but to merge notes. Using this type of system allows us to manage and maintain the content of the notes. Everything else is user specific: which deck the notes are in, the settings for that deck, etc. I too have many different types of cards all in the same deck that I would love to store together and not have to manually move back each time.

As I would also love this tickbox, and I have just had some experience extending the configuration options in the latest PR, I'd be happy to take a crack at this. However the sooner someone points me in the general direction of "here is where the cards are moved decks" the quicker I'll get around to actually doing it 😉

Also discussed more in #8 with a fork there proposing a prototype for basic way to make this configurable (dayjaby@39c9666)

I have submitted PR (#69) which fixes this issue 👍 @ELLIOTTCABLE

(pinging @dayjaby too, as he complained about this in Issue #8)

Issue is now fixed 👍 there is now an option in the config settings to not move notes on import (see PR #69)
