Regarding "Would it be possible to add a delete button in filter mode, when I have my list of duplicates on the screen."
Beside the two options mentioned by Ernie, there is a third one, at least for single cards: slide a card from right to left will show "delete".

Btw, are you aware of the filter for Duplicates?

Hi Asger,

I'm glad the app has been useful to you over there. Great!

After filtering, you can tap Mode, Multi-Select, and tap the cards you want to "delete". There is no delete option, but there is a Move option in the Mode menu. So you can create a blank temporary deck as the target and move the cards in there.

I don't really want program a merge, as it gets tricky. I'll leave that work up to you. You can also consider cleaning up your flashcards on a desktop in Excel if that might work better.

But hopefully the "Move" option will help you clear them out.

Easily removing duplicate cards

Dear Ernie.

I've been using the app for ten years now at the Royal Danish Defense College interpreters course to great effect.

Over time though we do accumulate a lot of duplicate cards and I cannot seem to find an easy way to clear them out.

Would it be possible to add a delete button in filter mode, when I have my list of duplicates on the screen. That way I can compare content and choose the right one to get rid of. Another useful feature would be a merge function.

Thanks again!
Asger, Copenhagen
