Thanks for telling me about UTF8 ; I had forgotten and looked under all the "Korean" labeled encoding that all resulted in gibberish. Yes, it is no problem at all to upload files that are tab separated.
I am not entirely sure what sisters are. I understand they are sisters if you have a card and then give it multiple tags. Apart from the tags, they are identical. Here's a quick an dirty example. Each card input exactly as written here: Question - Answer 1 gibberish Question - Answer 2 TEST. I *think* I had cards like this. The first one would be gibberish from an uploaded file with the wrong encoding. The second one would be correct and manually input by me. When i deleted the first card it also deleted the second card as the program perceived them as sisters. Just curious to know as i might want to change related cards to prevent them being viewed as sisters once i know the criteria. Thanks!
