Hello, i have installed Anki Excel Sync with the next features:

{ "_directory": "E:\Anki_Excel", "autosync_on_close": false, "autosync_on_launch": false, "col-width": [ 6, 60, 60, 20 ], "detailed-log": true, "log": true, "new-deck": "Default" }

I followed all the instructions in the addons webpage, I think I'm doing something wrong with the tags, because I don't know how to select the tags in anki for this addon works. I just visit the main page of anki with the Decks and I push the botton Tools and then: Anki -> Excel and I have only a pop up window with this information.

Anki -> Excel Excel files will be created from existing Anki cards with selected tags:

and then when the process is finish, the next pop-up window.:

Anki -> Excel directory: E:\Anki_Excel total 0 tags / files total 0 notes

thanks you.,

This addon is very unintuitive in its way of syncing: it searches for directories inside specified _directory, then finds all cards that has the tag with the directory name.

So if you want to sync all cards with tag "language" for example, you need to create a directory "language" inside Anki_Excel so E:\Anki_Excel\language\ exists. (And then the notes are synced to E:\Anki_Excel\language.xlsx and nothing is stored inside the \language\ directory unless you have child tags. But the language directory is still needed for the addon to know which tag to sync)

Hi BlueGreenMagick,

Thanks for creating the program but I feel like I'm computer illiterate or something cause I'm having a hard time understanding the layout of how to use the program. The furthest step I've gotten is to the config screen, after that I'm lost as to what to do πŸ˜…

Just wanted to make creating/editing cards for specified decks much quicker πŸ‘‰πŸΌπŸ‘ˆπŸΌ

Is there any chance you could make a video?
