Export Dialog Help:
Format Format of the exported text file. One of: CSV (Comma Separateted Values), JSON, XML
CSV Delimiter Delimiter in the CSV file, e.g. ’,’ or ’;’ or ‘\t’ (tabulator).
File The exported file.
Browse Displays a file dialog to specify the exported file.
Deck Filter The specified deck or all decks will be exported.
Tag Filter Cards having one of the specified tags (delimited by blanks) will be exported. If the filter is empty, then all cards will be exported.
Include All Fields If checked, then all card fields will be output. If not checked, then only the front and back sides will be output.
Include All Tags If checked, then all card tags will be output. If not checked, then none tags will be output.
Include Reverse Cards If checked, then also the reverse cards will be output. If not checked, then the reverse cards will not be output.
Include Deck Name If checked, then the card’s deck name will be output. If not checked, then the deck name will not be output.
Include Card ID If checked, then the card’s ID will be output. If not checked, then the card’s ID will not be output.
Include Card Type If checked, then the card’s type will be output. If not checked, then the card’s type will not be output.
Include Note ID If checked, then the note’s ID will be output. If not checked, then the note’s ID will not be output.
Include Note Type If checked, then note’s type will be output. If not checked, then the note’s type will not be output.
OK Perform the export with the specified settings.
Cancel Cancel the export.
Remarks:
It is assumed that the created card and the associated reversed card (if any) have neighboring IDs. More precisely, if a card has ID1 and its associated reversed card has ID2, then no other card has an ID between ID1 and ID2. It seems that this assumption is always fulfilled. If this assumption were wrong then reverse cards would potentially also be exported even if ‘Include Reverse Cards’ = False. Note that associated reverse cards have the same ‘NoteID’ and different ‘CardType’.
The addon was tested on Windows only.

The addon works correctly, even with csv files. Just make sure, if you use commas , in your text, that you choose tab \t as the seperator, and also that you select that option when opening the csv with another table editor like libre calc, because the standard option will be comma , in the most cases.

Tried exporting to csv and didn’t separate correctly
👍 2018-11-12
The CSV export does not encapsulate with quotes, so any commas in the field end up breaking the csv import into a spreadsheet.
👍 2018-08-22
Export to JSON feature is unusable. You need to handle special characters properly (e.g., quote mark).

Exactly what I need. Excellent job! Thank you
