Re: [mnemosyne-proj-users] putting unlearned cards inbetween the scheduled cards

[Peter Bienstman]

Hi,

This is not implemented, as the philosophy is that it's no good trying to learn new stuff before making sure you haven't forgotten old stuff.

Sort of a workaround is tagging the cards you want to memorise and then using 'activate cards' to switch between old and new cards.

Hei everyone,

I would love to have an option to display the unmemorized cards in random order inbetween my scheduled cards.
Is there any possibility?

Greetings,

    Hi, Achim.
There is a workaround using the Browser ( will not violate the SRS philosophy, I think - if you will not let the DUE cards to become Overdue).
     It is like Cramming;  you will view the Question; try to recall ...; look at the Answer.   
You will be able to pick cards in random order.
  After ALL cards viewed, go to Review screen and quickly Grade the cards - accepting the Default grade or clicking '1' for lapsed cards.

  I am curious what benefits you will get from this randomness ?

Have a good day.

Actually, I still think that currently my earlier suggestion with
'deactivate cards' is your best bet at the moment. Then you can also
determine yourself when you want to learn new stuff as opposed to
reviewing old stuff.

Everything you suggest could also be implemented as a scheduler
plugin, so feel free to suggest this on our uservoice feature request
forum, so that people can vote for it.

Cheers,

Peter

Thanks for the feedback!

Peter, just to be sure, you mean that I tag the new cards with for example "new" and when I want to learn them, I deactivate all other cards and do some of the new words, and after switch back to normal learning and so on?

I will give it a try.

And I will write this idea to the uservoice forum, lets see what happens :)

Thanks for the answer and for mnemosyne too.
