The sound is great, the new flashcard system is both powerful and flexible, the new CHinese-chinese dictionary is wonderful: there are a lot of things I love about 2.0 Pleco.
But I haven't yet figured out how to do something I used to do every day with Pleco 1: review the day's flashcards, and no others. I've combed the manual looking for a simple way to do it and haven't found the way yet. The closest was this statement from http://www.pleco.com/manual/flashintro.html "However, you can test cards in the order in which you created them by choosing "Random" card selection and checking the "Don't shuffle session cards" box in the "General" tab of Advanced Settings." But I see no box labeled "Don't shuffle session cards" in the general tab of advanced settings, so I'm stumped.
I've tried the day filter and that doesn't seem to work to select just yesterday's cards. They weren't necessarily created yesterday, they were only "added" yesterday and there were other cards in the list that were the same. Perhaps this is why - there is no filter for "date card was last added, even if it was a dupe?"
Question 1: So, the first question is, are there settings which would allow you to keep adding cards to a set but only review the ones you added the day before?
Question 2: If you have a card in with one dictionary entry, how do you get the other dictionaries' entries for that same word as you review the flashcards? Or are you limited to only one dictionary definition per card? What I'd like is to see both the English and the CHinese dictionaries' definitions for the same chinese phrase.
Question 3: when you add a card which already exists, is there any record made of that addition, e.g. by updating the modification date or some date field in the card? Or is the addition simply ignored?
