Hey, thank you for your message. I’m sorry you find it complicated. As we said before in other places, the import process is complicated because of how anki is designed, and not because of our software. The export on our side is litterally a “one-click” process, can’t be easier. But then to import through anki, it’s another story. We contacted the anki developper to try to make an easy export import tool with them, no positive answers :S .
So, here is a reformulation of the steps you have some troubles. I tried to explain more clearly what you didn’t understand.

How to export items to anki on mac OS X
1) Export the cards
- Go to the saved items tool : Language Reactor
- The top right, click on the “EXPORT” button
- If you want to include media, specify it in the switch “include media”
- Click on export, the download will start automatically
2) Put the media in the good location
- After the download, double click on the .zip file to extract the data
- Enter this folder
- By holding the “option” keyboard button, open a new file tab by clicking on Go menu (top left bar) and on “Home” (shortcut is SHIFT + CMD + H). Holding the “option” keyboard button is necessary as it will allow you to see hidden folders (anki folders are hidden)
- Go to
Library
folder, thenApplication support
, and thenAnki2
- Here, you will see a folder for each of the users, open the folder with the name of your anki username
- Open the
collection.media
folder - Drag and drop the medias files that were in the exported folder inside the
collection.media
folder
3) Do the anki metadata import
