Hi,
I know flashcards are the next feature due for a major overhaul. Just a few things I'd like to see:
Note: actually for now I don't bother entering example sentences from my textbooks that accompany definitions, as I want to have each example sentence on a separate line (just like a nicely formatted dictionary entry). I know this might be supported by XML imports (which don't seem to be well documented?) or even that ancient, not recommended internal character code (mentioned somewhere in an old post), but long story short, right now figuring out how to make this happen with the current release doesn't feel worth the time/effort (especially knowing this module is due for major changes). Anything that will make the process for formatting the definitions easier will definitely be appreciated.
I know flashcards are the next feature due for a major overhaul. Just a few things I'd like to see:
- Provide more horizontal screen real estate when reviewing/testing, as the correct/incorrect etc. buttons take up valuable screen real estate. This is an issue when I'm writing a long answer on the screen (before revealing the card).
- Update existing user-defined cards' definitions via import: ability to update existing user-defined cards' definitions via file import. (I don't think this is possible now?). A few examples where this would have come in handy for me:
- Textbook definition didn't have measure words for objects, went back and added them to the cards' definitions. Updated dozens of cards.
- I wanted to supplement cards' definitions with one or more example sentences that weren't originally included as part of the definition entry (see note below for details).
