Hi!
I recently downloaded the AnKing Deck, and under the browse section it says there are only 495 cards, but under the tag #AK_Step1_v12 I have 31,891 cards.
Is there any way I can solve this? I wanted to unsuspend a deck that had 400 cards for pathology, but because of the limit of 495 only 9 cards unsuspend for me to practice.
If you click on the step1 tag and it lists you having 31k cards, then the cards are present in your collection and are not missing.
They may, however, be spread across different decks. You can determine this from the Browse screen by looking at the column labeled ‘Deck’, which will tell you where the cards are located.
What most likely happened, and isn’t uncommon, is that you had/have some older cards in your collection that are from an older AnKing deck and/or one of the earlier decks that were originally incorporated into the AnKing deck. What happens when this is the case is that Anki ‘sees’ that you have cards in your deck that share a lineage and it presumes that you want to park them in the same place as the others.
Thus, in all likelihood, the cards are there, they’re just in a different parking spot. A little confusing, for sure, but not ultimately too big a deal.
What you decide to do from here is pretty much up to your preference/s:
If you don’t mind them being in their current location you can leave them there and review as-is. No harm no foul.
If you would prefer to move them elsewhere you can move them to any other deck, or subdeck, that you prefer and it won’t harm anything. It’s really up to you where, and if, you move them.
If you decide to move them, you can select a given tag, hit command+A, right-click one of the cards, and select ‘change deck’ to move them wherever you’d like.
Hopefully that clears up some of the confusion.
