Hi all,

I'm not sure if I understand the setting "Hold 10 non-memorised cards in your hand" correctly. The docu says:
"This means that at any given time, you will not be trying to memorise more than 10 new cards. Note that this setting does not tell you how many new cards you need to learn per day."
So what exactly does this setting cause? I mean, after memorizing 10 cards, Mnemosyne doesn't show me a message box or so. But after 15 cards it tells me:
"You've memorised 15 new or failed cards. If you do this for many days, you could get a big workload later."
Why 15 cards and not 10? Maybe someone can explain me the behaviour of Mnemosyne here...

Oh, and an additional question: Does de-activating a card also delay the review of that card?

Hello,
"Hold 10 non-memorised cards in your hand" means that mnemosyne will not show you more than 10 cards witch are not learned. For example, if you have 100 unlearned cards, mnemosyne will not show you 100 cards in an "randomized" order, but will pick 10 of them for you to learn. If you grade 2 and higher another card of those 90 remaining will be picked and be among those 10.

Hope that was clear (?).

>Does de-activating a card also delay the review of that card?

When De-activating a card, the card will no longer be displayed, unless you reactivate it again. But if the card has another tag that is activated it will be displayed.
