media-import-2

Anki add-on for importing media files as new notes.

Link to add-on

This add-on is an updated version of the Media Import add-on, which is no longer being maintained.

---

This add-on allows you to import media files into your Anki collection and use their file or folder names as a component of the note. You can create cards that might look like this (using apple.jpg):

When the add-on is installed, a Media Import 2... option will be added to the Tools menu.

Selecting this menu item will open the Media Import 2 window.

From this window, you are able to:

• Browse and select which folder to use as the source of media files
  • Subfolders will be imported as well if the "Include subfolders" checkbox is activated
• Choose which note type to use for the imported notes
• Decide what content to put into each of the fields

Here is a list of the content available to insert into fields (with an example file located at ./f1/f2/apple.JPG):

• Media - The media file itself (image or audio will appear on the card)
• File Name - The name of the file without the extension (apple)
• File Name (full) - The name of the file including the extension (apple.JPG)
• Extension - Only the lower-case extension of the file (jpg)
• Extension (case-sensitive) - Only the original extension of the file (JPG)
• Sequence - A number indicating the order in which the file was imported. If 15 files were imported, each file will contain a value starting from 0 to 14. Always starts over from 0 for each import.
• Subfolder tags (individual) - Creates separate tags for each subfolder (f1 and f2). If this option is used in a non-tag field, the names are combined with spaces (t1 t2). Requires the "Include subfolders" checkbox to be active.
• Subfolder tag (hierarchical) - Creates a single, hierarchical tag for the subfolder hierarchy (t1::t2). Requires the "Include subfolders" checkbox to be active.

All new generated cards are added to a deck named MediaImport. This deck is created for you automatically if it doesn't exist.
