Step 1. Prepare metadata
I suppose that you already know:
- How to create new deck (not neccessary, but makes sense)
- How to define new note type
- How to define cards for note type
- Import from delimited text file
If not - check documentation, it's not complex.
You need to create a note type with at least 3 fields: Id, FrontImage, BackImage
Step 2.Generate delimited text file
I suppose that your image files are numbered from 0 to N with preceding zeroes. E.g if N=100,then image names are: image00000.jpg - image00100.jpg.
The goal: create delimited text file with content like:
Card_00000;<img src="Image_00000.jpg"/>;<img src="Image_00001.jpg"/> Card_00001;<img src="Image_00002.jpg"/>;<img src="Image_00003.jpg"/> Card_00002;<img src="Image_00004.jpg"/>;<img src="Image_00005.jpg"/> Card_00003;<img src="Image_00006.jpg"/>;<img src="Image_00007.jpg"/> Card_00004;<img src="Image_00008.jpg"/>;<img src="Image_00009.jpg"/> Card_00005;<img src="Image_00010.jpg"/>;<img src="Image_00011.jpg"/> Card_00006;<img src="Image_00012.jpg"/>;<img src="Image_00013.jpg"/> Card_00007;<img src="Image_00014.jpg"/>;<img src="Image_00015.jpg"/> Card_00008;<img src="Image_00016.jpg"/>;<img src="Image_00017.jpg"/> Card_00009;<img src="Image_00018.jpg"/>;<img src="Image_00019.jpg"/> Card_00010;<img src="Image_00020.jpg"/>;<img src="Image_00021.jpg"/> Card_00011;<img src="Image_00022.jpg"/>;<img src="Image_00023.jpg"/>
Recipe 1. Use script language
In python generation can be:
print("\n".join(['Card_%05d;<img src="Image_%05d.jpg"/>;<img src="Image_%05d.jpg"/>' % (image_number,image_number*2, image_number*2 +1 ) for image_number in range(0, int(100/2))]))
Recipe 2. Use spreadsheet
If you're more comfortable with office tools you can use spreadsheet.
You need to create: autoincrementing field and 2 calculated fields.
Example: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1W1DQ2ZSm4XuYNeKlkybbTeXh7RGqkk8H-7CgCaBVeI4/pubhtml
Formula for front:
= Concatenate("<src img=""Image", Text(A2*2-1,"00000"),".jpg"" />")
Step 3. Save in file, import, copy images to media folder, enjoy
Exactly so.
Good luck!
