Oh I see... :/ I usually reset the cards for the Production side whenever I update a kana word with the equivalent kanji. So is the only workaround to delete the fact ?

Hey Guys,
I want to set up a model deck to use with RTK2 Pure groups.(only testing one way, compound to reading)
What I am trying to figure out how to do is how to set up the model to have the Q card read PURE GROUP on each card, so I dont have to type it in again and again.
Anyone know how to do this?

In the model properties, go to the Cards tag and look at the Question format box.
It will probably say something like:

--------------
%(Meaning)s
--------------

If you change that to

--------------
PURE GROUP
%(Meaning)s
--------------

You should be all set.

Sweet. Thanks JS!

0.9.5 is out. Changelog at:

http://ichi2.net/anki/download/index.html

Ok call me idiot or whatever you want ....
But for god's sake how can I change the name of the decks ? I'm tired of having "mydeck 1" , 2 ,3 , 4 , 5 , 6 etc... You can't choose when it saves , I've searched inside model properties and deck properties and I didn't find anything .
The closer thing I found is in deck properties where you can choose the name of your deck on the internet server ... but nothing about your own computer .
I've also searched in the documentation but there's nothing about it in creating a new deck.

The worse is I'm sure it's pretty obvious.

in the new version, "save as..." is back, so you can use that to rename decks

How come you've got so many decks anyway?

because I'm trying different mode of reviewing.... different types of cards , different kind of informations , ... Even if Anki is way more flexible than all the others soft the fact remains that changing something always takes time .So once i've made my mind I will stick with one method.
I just began the AJATT method so i'm still searching something that fits me . I don't think i'm very far from what i'm looking for anyway .


EDIT : By the way how old is Anki ? I mean it seems to me to be prone to a daily patch....and not small one with that .... The kind to prevent you from connecting , to disable auto reading of kanji , to remove "save as" , etc....
I don't mind some evolutions but it seems to me the only real drawback of anki is it's still quite unstable . I've talked with some other guy at the yamasa who happened to use Anki and he came to the same conclusion.
Well don't misunderstand me : I'm not blaming the creator who's busting his ass to perfect his soft . Anki is awesome and as I have made a try to a couple of other soft I know what I'm talking about . I'm just wondering how come there are so much patches. Is anki really recent ?

When Vosimura brought it to our attention last May, Anki was only a shadow of what it is now (IMHO), so there have been a lot of major changes in the past 9 months. I don't know when the program initially came out, though. There have been a lot of updates in the last 2 weeks or so because version 0.9.0 was a major overhaul of the inner workings and Mr. Elmes is still working out the kinks. There were no new versions for a few months before 0.9.0 came out.

I've tried a few other SRSes as well, and even with the bumps that have been coming along from time to time, Anki is far better than anything I know of, and it will continue to get better.

I knew there would be some teething problems with the upgrade, as the backend storage was completely rewritten, but I would have liked things to have gone smoother than they did. Most of the scheduling problems which have come up are due to the completely different way Anki fetches cards now. It used to take the whole deck and sort it in a complicated manner after every card to decide which card to show next. This was quite slow for large decks on moderately powered computers, but it was simple to implement and not very prone to error. Anki now builds 4 different queues on deck load to handle different types of cards, and has to maintain them correctly as you add and answer cards. To make things more complicated, Anki tries to avoid flushing changes to the DB on every card answer as it's slow, and that requires extra logic to make sure all data that needs to be available is always the most recent version.

It's unlikely that the card fetching mechanism will need to be drastically redesigned again, thankfully. Anki 1.1/1.2 will be largely GUI improvements & support for multimedia, and won't need any deck upgrades or syncing changes.

But on the 'a release every day' note, 0.9.5.1 is out :-) It's not set to auto-update, so you'll need to download it manually. Please test and let me know if any remaining scheduling problems show up.

I've just added access keys to the simple phone interface. You can now hit 0-5 on the answer screen to submit your answer, with no need to scroll to the correct button.

Thank you kindly!

what about the priority system ?
I don't know if it's a bug(if it is I will create a post on anki forum) or I misunderstood the way of using it but even when I put the tag of of some cards (not the facts , the cards) in very high priority thoses cards are not displayed first .
Let's say that those have been succesfully reviewed or that the time of the review is not before a long time will it still display the cards owing to the priority I put on them ?
What about the delay ? is it normal that when I answer correctly the card will be reviewed in 5 YEARS !? is it the effect of the very high priority system ?

Sorry if some of those questions are obvious but as right now the documentation is still a work in progress it's hard for me to know when it's a bug and when I use it misproperly.

I have the latest one by the way the 0.9.5.2.

It sounds like a problem some of the Zaurus users were having. What computer(s) are you using Anki on?

5 years is definitely not normal if it's a card added recently. I should have a new release out tonight or tomorrow that may get to the bottom of the remaining scheduling problems.

An acer aspire 3610 celeron 1,5 ghz , with WinXp installed . And as I said it's the latest version of Anki.

So it IS a bug...Don't know if I have have to be relieved or not though...
Guess I will post on Anki Forum then.

But if you have a solution then you're welcome...

EDIT : thanks revolve for your quickness and the effort you put into that.
It's the kind of thing that really make you want to use Anki (I mean an other thing outside the fact Anki is the best soft currently on the market:=) ) .

Please try 0.9.5.3 and let me know if you have any further problems

The download page says "changes in 0.9.5.2" where it should say "changes in 0.9.5.3"

Thanks. Fixed

ok I just tried it for an hour and a half to check if everything was fine and .....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....
YES !
Now it works great thanks . Obviously I had to reset the progress of a lot of card but everything is fine .... it even allowed me to better understand the way the priority system works and now i can use it efficiently .
You have been very professionnal thanks again .
But Internet still remains a BIG PROBLEM

1- MAYBE those insane delays remains : 5 years sometimes if I succeed a card .
Thing is I don t to know to what extent there is still a problem .It didn't work only 30 minutes ago but A few minutes ago the delays when I succeeded became quite normal ( a week 2 week 2 week and a half ) . However I m still not sure if it s fixed or not as I only tried ten or fifteen cards on internet and there's still a bunch of eternally delayed card that I can't fix .By the way do you use a slightly different algorithm when it comes to delays for internet ? or is it just the fact that I have already studied some of those cards ?

2- so I have questions about the utilisation of the online access.
-internet only deals with the first 3 fields right ? cause the additionnal field ("Others" :i put sentence exemple and heisig reference in it ,etc... ) i created is not displayed .
Or all the settings of a deck (which fields exist , which fields are displayed on wich side ,etc...) are supposed to be taken with it ?
-in which direction does it synchronize ? I have the feeling that it only picks datas from the internet server to put them into my pc , not the otherway around . Cause when I synchronize it put delays like 9.8 years and 5 years in my deck . It means that it extracts the delays of the internet database wich is still corrupted. Therefore every time i do it it messes everything in my deck cause it takes the insane delays still recorded in the online deck (even if the algorithm itself has been fixed).
Worse it erases the information in the additionnal field of my pc deck
Can t we synchronise the other way ? I mean when i put those datas on the internet server oviously it meant that the data on my computer were transfered on internet.
So I really don t get the way the sync works .
- just how many options do I have with the internet access : it seems to me for instance I can't reset that stat datas that makes my online deck useless. And if I want to tell which cards are wrecked if I have to sync to see wich card on my PC have those delays . Not really useful anyway since I can t change the data on the internet server but I just want to be sure there aren t any ways to read datas from the online access for future problems.

For cards that were being scheduled for long times in the future, the damage may already be done. In your local client, open the deck editor, sort by interval, scroll to the bottom and reset any cards that have an unreasonably long time.

2:
- If 'others' doesn't appear, are you sure you were using the same deck? Only one of your decks on the server seems to have an 'others' field.
- Is your computer clock set correctly? If synchronisation is not working properly, it sounds like your computer clock is way off.

Ok finally understood the source of problem
I am currently reviewing on 2 computers : the one I m using at home and another one in my school . The school computer clock displays 2003 , that s why it put all the cards to a 5 year delay .
So once again thanks

Just a last question : there s definetely no way to update cards from internet ? sometimes when I m reviewing I have ideas for improvement of the flashcards ....
