Exception: cannot create note because it is a duplicate

[raphaelhuleux]

Hi,

I get the following error while running the script in Python. I don't know which note creates the issue but I don't believe I have any duplicate.

Exception: cannot create note because it is a duplicate

Some precisions:

• The code also stays stuck for a long time (10 minutes) at the Adding directory requests..., before I get the error.
• Some notes are added to Anki but have no IDs added to their file.
• I used an older version of the script (2. something) that stopped working, I think because of an update of Anki Connect. I updated to the last version and got this error (with both 3.4.1 and 3.4.0).
• The media files that the script tries to add are in notes that are already in Anki (including the images).
• I resetted the .inifile, simply reconfiguring the GUI = False, Regex = True and adding my own Regex. See attached (as .txt because I can't add it otherwise).

Thanks in advance for your help!

EDIT: I moved back to the version 2.10 of the script and I don't have the issue anymore. But if I update to the last version, the issue comes up again. Something might have been broken with the last update?

Card duplicates are not generated with the obsidian-to-anki plugin as well.
