DecksMD 2.5.1

Decks 2.5.1 — your review history stays with your cards.

Important: this might reset card state when you update. If cards are reset to new, please re-run the recovery from Settings → Backup → Rebuild from history. I apologize for any inconvenience .

A reliability release focused on never losing your progress. Cards now keep their scheduling when you reorganize your vault, older backups restore cleanly, and a noisy backup error is gone.

Move cards between decks — or rename a deck — without losing progress

Until now a card's identity was tied to the deck it lived in, so moving a card to another note (or renaming a deck's file) made Decks treat it as a brand-new card and forget its review history. Cards are now identified by their content alone, so their scheduling and history follow them wherever they go.

If you lost progress to this in the past, it's re-linked automatically on upgrade — nothing to do. You can also re-run the recovery any time from Settings → Backup → Rebuild from history.

(One consequence: if you deliberately kept the exact same card in two different decks, they now count as a single shared card.)

Image occlusion cards survive image moves

An occlusion card no longer resets its progress when Obsidian relocates its image into a different attachments folder — the card is tracked by its heading and image file name rather than the full path. (Renaming the image file itself still starts a fresh card.)

Restoring an older backup keeps your reviews

When you restore a backup made by a previous version, its review history is now automatically re-linked to your current cards instead of being left stranded.

Quieter backups

Fixed a spurious "failed to delete backup" error that could show up in the console while old backups were being cleaned up.

Upgrade-safe: your vault isn't touched, and your existing scheduling and review history are preserved — and in some cases recovered.
