- [ ] Port SuperMemo and Pauker importers to JSON, or figure out if we can map the legacy NoteImporter code to JSON automatically (or semi-automatically)
- [ ] Extract Mnemosyne, SuperMemo and Pauker importers into separate add-ons
CSV
---
- [x] Preview for first few records.
- [x] Optionally export notetype and deck columns. (Let user decide if by name or id?)

From https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/import-problems-suggestions/5856. Might also apply to JSON.
- [ ] Batch importing.
- [ ] Import media files from same folder.
- [ ] Import notetypes.
- [x] Create decks on import.
