[FEAT] Review Flashcards from All Decks Simultaneously

[cesar-programs]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. At the moment, unless all cards are under a parent deck, we can't review all the cards in one session

Describe the solution you'd like I would like an option to study all cards across all decks It would be nice to have the option to study these cards in random order

Thank you

Wait, isn't this default behavior? If you tag the note with #flashcards all of them show up in a single deck for me.

Yes, it can be when using the tagging option for deck creation.

With the option to turn folders into decks, we're left with top level decks (which, are in the root folder of our vault), such as the following

I just started using the spaced repetition plug-in again, so there isn't many decks to see; however, I hope it is visible that there is no option to review all cards when using folders/subfolders as decks (such as reviewing both mathematics and computer science in the example above) and I think it would a really nice feature to have, especially when the user has many more decks than I currently have.

Thank you

Ah, I see. Makes sense. I'll see what I can find.

My current workaround it to put all folders into a 'Home' folder that is in the root of the Obsidian vault

I haven't had the time to dig into the deck construction but I'll keep an eye out to see if it clicks for me.

Hi @cesar-programs

I'm sure you have completely forgotten about your idea :-) but this has now been implemented, and is ready for beta testing.

If there are multiple top-level decks, then the flashcard modal displays an entry for All Decks for example:

The latest mainstream release 1.11.0 also includes the ability to shown random cards across all decks. This is a new setting:

Beta Testing

There is a file called main.js in this zip file main_415A.zip

If you wish to try this before it is included in a mainstream release, you will need to copy that file to the obsidian plug-in folder, e.g. D:\Obsidian\Obsidian\.obsidian\plugins\obsidian-spaced-repetition

Then reload the plug-in, or restart obsidian.

Any feedback appreciated.

Cheers Ronny

@ronzulu you've probably seen it already but if not, can you look into using tfthacker's brat tool for easier beta distribution?

Thanks for letting me know, I hadn't come across it before.
