Easily removing duplicate cards

[AsgerOestman]

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!

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.

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?
