Removing sketchy pictures from cards I did pixorize for

[zakdairi]

Hello everyone,

I have been using pixorize for biochemistry and that has proved to have some challenges. Typically, I have all my sketchy cards (the hints that is) automatically open the image so I don’t need to scroll down or click anything which I configured via the anking cards settings addon. However, now that I have started using Pixorize, I have been needing to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the card to see the pixorize that it auto open. I was curious if there is a way to manually set cards to only show the pixorize, or only show the sketchy (be that sketchy 1 or sketchy extra if I did the extra one) so I never need to waste time scrolling down.

Cheers,

Z

You can do this by adjusting the fields used on the card templates, so that only the image source you want (Sketchy or Pixorize) is displayed, instead of both.

Because you’re using the AnKing + AnkiHub setup, the safest approach is:

1. Pick which image you want to see for that card type

   • If you want only Pixorize: hide/remove the Sketchy image field from the template.
   • If you want only Sketchy: hide/remove the Pixorize image field from the template.
   • This is done at the note type (card template) level, not per individual card.

2. How to do it in Anki (desktop)

   1. Open Anki → go to a biochem card that shows both Sketchy and Pixorize.
   2. Click Cards… (bottom of the Edit window) to open the card templates.
   3. In the Front and Back templates, look for the image fields, which will be things like:
      • {{Sketchy}}, {{SketchyExtra}}, or similar
      • {{Pixorize}}, {{PixorizeExtra}}, etc.
   4. To hide a source:
      • Either delete the field reference entirely (e.g. remove {{Sketchy}}).
      • Or, if you might want it later, wrap it in HTML comments so it doesn’t render:

        <!-- {{Sketchy}} -->
        

   5. Keep only the one you want visible (Pixorize or Sketchy) higher up on the card so it appears before other long content – this also reduces scrolling.

3. If you want per-deck behavior (e.g., Pixorize for biochem deck only)

   • Make a separate note type that uses Pixorize-only templates and convert the relevant cards to that note type.
   • This way you don’t affect cards in other subjects that still rely on Sketchy.

4. Interaction with AnKing Card Settings add-on

   • The add-on is only controlling how the image area opens (auto-open vs collapsed).
   • What you’re asking (Pixorize-only vs Sketchy-only) is controlled at the card template level, not via the add-on. Once the template only contains one image field, that’s the only one that will auto-open.

If you’d like, you can paste a screenshot or the HTML of your Card Templates window, and I can point out exactly which lines to remove or comment out (without touching any code/logic—just which fields to keep vs hide).

Hello,

I would be happy to help.

I have been using pixorize for biochemistry and that has proved to have some challenges. Typically, I have all my sketchy cards (the hints that is) automatically open the image so I don’t need to scroll down or click anything which I configured via the anking cards settings addon.

If you have all of your cards set to open a given field, as sounds like it may be the case, then all of those cards will open that field.

Separately, kyou can select to auto-open specific fields on an individual note basis by right-clicking the note/s you’d like to adjust and selecting ‘auto-reveal fields’:

Depending on the size of your screen, the size of the images, and the number of fields you opt to have auto-open I can’t guarantee that this will prevent you from ever having to scroll down, but this is how you can select which field/s will, or will not, auto-open for any particular notes.

Please let me know if that answers your question, and if there’s anything else I can help with.
