Importing words from anki
Hi,
I've been using Anki as my SRS and i want to import the known words to migaku. Previously i have been able to do this by using the legacy extension feature to import from anki and then disabling the extension and re-enabling the regular migaku one and the words would be loaded.
My current issue is that i dont seem to be able to do this anymore. ive tried a bunch of combinations such as disabling both extensions and closing and reopening the browser, enabling legacy, importing, disabling it once again, closing and opening the browser and then re-enabling regular migaku, and closing and reopening the browser once again. No combination seems to work anymore. I was under the impression that both extensions shared a database/files and such the reason they could not be both enabled at once, but it seems that if the db were the same the words would sync. Or maybe the way its stored changed recently, im not sure.
Anyway, thanks for the help

Got no feedback but managed to figure out on my own how to import from migaku legacy and use words on new migaku. Its a quick process.
1. First import the words to Migaku legacy with anki.
2. Disable the Migaku legacy extension
3. Enable new Migaku extension
4. Make sure to open the extension window page (should do a pop up or maybe open on a new tab)
This should then show all the new words
The tricky part with this is that this (from my tests) must be done in the same browser session and the actual extension pages of each Migaku extension must also be accessed for it to maybe share the db?

The best way to guarantee it works is to parse at least one video using migaku legacy. then disable it and open new migaku and it always updates the database. Idk why but I used to experiement and it was a hassle until I figured it out.
