Feature Request: View the current card / Start the Card Show anywhere

[M]

Is it possible to add a feature which allows us to start the Card Show
from the current card and allow us to move on the slideshow rather
than from the beginning? I would like to have a feature like the
PowerPoint has in its Slideshows. In other words, it would be lovely
if there is a feature that we can start the slide show (Card Show)
from anywhere in the categories.

At the moment, if I want to start the Card Show (Study) in the order,
it starts from the beginning. But I would like to start it from the
card which I want to start.

I can think of two ways to do this now.

This first is to go into deck preference, memorization and change the memorization to "Simple". Then, and you memorize each card, it will not show up in your next session.

The second is to select the material you desire to study. For example, if you have 100 questions. You can select question 20 - 100 and your next session will start with question 20 (assuming you're not "shuffling" your cards) instead of question 1.

This may not be what you are looking for, but I thought I'd at least give it a shot in the hope that it may help you or others.

Good luck,

Dear FalKirk,
Thank you very much for your reply. But selecting the material to
study is not working for me. I have ticked the items which I would
like to show but it still starting from the beginning. I do not know
how to fix it.

Is there any setting I have to do in order to this work?

Thank you very much in advance.

I think you need to do it the other way around.

When you "tick" the items, you are actually indicating that you have memorized them. Then the program WILL NOT show them in the next study session. 

You need to uncheck the check boxes of those items you want to study. (You can select them all and do "Command-K") When I say "select", I mean click on the text. The entire line will turn dark blue. If you hold down the Command key when you select additional items, you can pick and choose which items you want to study. Further, if you use the shift key, you can select large blocks of questions.

Finally, it sounds to me like you wish to rapidly and intensely study a particular area. I suggest you go to:

-View Menu

-Select Deck Preferences (there is also an icon in the tool bar)

-Make sure that "Memorization" (as opposed to Card Sides, Fonts, Advanced) is selected

-Change the type of memorization to "Score"

-The presets are probably fine, but you can adjust the numbers if you want to.

The "Score" form of memorization allows you to go over the same questions over and over and over again, only removing them from the list after you've gotten them right 3 (or whatever) times in a row. Very useful when you need to learn something in a short period of time.

If I've missed the mark or if you have any more questions feel free to contact directly at mr.jo...@gmail.com. I'm glad to help.

Dear FalKirk,
Thank you very much for your detailed reply!!! I was able to start
the study where I want to! Thank you very much.

I have been iFlash as teaching materials and it has been wonderful and
I cannot teach without it now! I can organize vocabulary so easily
and I can make Quizlet lists etc for my students so easily as well!
Thank you very much for your help.

Yours sincerely,

M
