ya I like the final review mode, but like zazen, I've noticed that reviews keep trickling in.

If the program says the next card is in 5 hours, I think it would make sense that no cards trickle in for five hours, because I would like to enter new material during that time period.

So what I've been doing that works nicely:

After I finish my reviews, I do the final review set to 5 hours.

Then I enter new material, and while I'm learning the new stuff, I reduce the final review time to 30 minutes.

That seems to work well.  Assuming I add and review with in 4.5 hours, I won't have any cards creeping into the final review mode while I'm working on new cards.

I think there's one kind of graph missing: Reviews done over the last set number of days. It occured to me that I was looking at the "cards added" graph to see when I was slacking a bit too much. With that, it would be good to have a graph to see the amount I'm actually reviewing.

Edit: Also, I had started a deck with the Production field disabled. Now that I'm about 180 cards into it, I read advice that justifies using the Production field (using kana sentences to produce the Kanji sentences). When I activate the production cards (which has 0), is there a way to make all the cards I already added as production cards too?

For Nukemarine:

Go to Edit -> Edit Deck
then select your cards, use right click and choose For each fact -> Add Missing Active Cards

ARGH, now I have 740 cards to work through!!  And they're of the harder production type (I changed the Japanese model to show the reading as the question).
Perhaps I should have just done reverse cards for any new ones I entered...

In hindsight, you could add say 30 to 50 missing cards a day and go through those as you see fit. I didn't think of it at the time I converted them.

I have to dash to work now, but I've prepared a beta of 0.9.0.

- Please back up your deck
- Please DO NOT use it for actual study. The final release of 0.9.0 may not be able to read files created with the beta.
- Syncing is not implemented yet

Some major changes:

# new scheduling

    * default factor of 2.5 with faster backoff - easy cards progress faster, harder cards progress more slowly
    * '3' more aggressive by default, but doesn't alter the current factor, so functions as 'just right' rather than 'tentatively remembered'. If you fail a card a few times and it is marked more difficult by Anki, "3" will continue to give intervals at the same rate
    * '2' is a very conservative increase of 1.2x the last interval, rather than a step back. It also decreases the easiness score of the card
    * Pressing '3' two times in a row will move a card out of the initial state. If you wish to repeat a card at 3-5 day intervals many times, use 3 and then 2
    * Cards returning to the initial state no longer have their factor reset
    * Card spacing is now relative to the minimum interval of the cards, rather than a preset number. Two cards with 150 day intervals will be spaced at a minium of 37.5 days apart from each other. One card with a 4 day interval and another with a 150 day interval will be spaced at a minimum of 1 day apart

# new database backend

    * revision queue built on start, so per-card review times are nearly instantaneous, even on decks with hundreds of thousands of cards
    * autosave is orders of magnitude faster
    * faster startup

.. and more I don't have time to type now.

Ditto. Great work.

Mac build: http://repose.ath.cx/Anki.dmg

The link's not working for me right now. I can't download the file.

I just gave a try at Anji  cause I want to follow the AJATT method. So it implies that it gives me the sentence with the kanjis (expression) as a question  and the  meaning and reading field as an answer .
but I didn't pay attention to the fact that Anki produces 2 card(production recognition ) for each fact . Currently   it gives me definition as a question  and sentences as an anwer which does not make sense at all ! It seems to me that the AJATT method is only about recognition am i right (at least for the SRS part) ?
[b]So how I can change the tag : I just want to train with the recognition cards.[b/]
everytime i try to use the modif the stack fonction ctrl-E and  : tag : recognition it has no effect at all.

Beta2 is out and needs testing and lots of feedback.

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php? … _id=701801

Let's hope my host doesn't go down right after this announcement like last time :-)

I'd love to test beta 2 but I've been so busy that I've got 270 cards to get through first!
