Add link to "(none) note filter" error message #227

Describe the bug

I have used anki-morphs before and it works well. Today I using a new laptop with an older version of my deck. Uninstalled MorphMan (which was still installed there), installed Ankimorphs and tried to recalc and was hit by the error message: "Found a note filter containing a "(none)" option. Please select something else" I don't think I changed anything about my deck other than deleting a few random cards so I'm not sure what to do about this. I can't find anything in the documentation or open issues about this so probably just need to be pointed in the right direction.

Could you upload a picture of your note filters? Like this:

Turned out I had a note filter with "None" as the notetype as I didn't change them after uninstalling morphman and installing anki-morphs. I just changed it to a valid card type and it works just fine. My bad.

@BobvanSchendel do you have a suggestion for a better error message? You are probably not the only one who found/will find it confusing.

BobvanSchendel commented 2 months ago

I think the error message itself is fine, it just stems from me not realizing what note filters actuslly are. You could add a reference to this page (https://mortii.github.io/anki-morphs/user_guide/setup/settings/note-filter.html?highlight=Note%20filter#note-filter) to the error maybe?
