In 4.0beta there appears to be more potential for adding characters to categories for later flashcard use. I use flashcards a lot this way as it helps me learn, and handling/assigning of categories has been greatly improved.
Recently I found when reading a document/book you can override the default category of that book; this is most excellent, since when you click the + sign, in one swoop the character is added to that configured category.
However if you have forgotten that you have already done that for that character in that book, when clicking the boxed+ you get prompted if you want to add a different category: I agree this could also be useful.
But it would be cool if you can signal to the user that a character has already been added to the default category for that book, maybe a different color or makeup of the +. This prevents me clicking and finding out I already added it before.
Or a different sign on this row altogether, that allows you to toggle add/remove to the default/configured category (I realise that a ton of such shortcuts prevents a clean and clear view, so probably not.)
The other thing is when searching for a character and the dictionary entry is displayed, it would help if you can directly can see or can click on a button to verify to which categories this has been added; right now I use the + sign to add a card and when the + sign is boxed I find out which categories it belongs to, this to me compared to 3.x version is already much better. But perhaps there is a quicker way to find out what categories a character belongs to? I could be missing something.
In addition, the option "Add Category" s always greyed-out in this "Duplicate Card" window., it seems a shortcut to adding a category, but it is not clear to me under what circumstances this works, thus far I treated as work in progress but quite possibly I'm doing this all wrong.
thanks
