I did some more testing and here is what is happening - I import a set of 10 items and they show up in my not memorized queue. I cycle through them a few times marking them as 1. I go to import another 10 items, expecting that they will be added to the pool of unlearned items along with the previous 10. They aren't - I can only cycle through the first 10 items regardless of any preferences settings or whether I grade them 0 or 1.
UNTIL... I mark one of the first 10 items as a 2 or higher - then I finally start to get the most recently imported items. Why does mnemosyne behave this way? To test this I made a dummy deck where the questions and answers were just integer values - integers 1 through 20. I imported them in two batches of 10 from a tab delimited text file. The first numbers (1-10) come in and I cycle through them a couple times marking them as 1. Then I import the next ones (11-20) and start cycling through the cards, but only numbers 1-10 are showing up - restarting mnemosyne doesn't make any difference either. When I mark one of the 1-10 cards as 2 or higher, then after a few more reps the others finally start to come in. What I would expect is that newly imported items would be added to the pool of questions showing up without having to mark anything as learned - but somehow they aren't pulled into the queue of questions that appear until one of the first imported batch is marked as learned. I want to build up a stack of unlearned cards (via import) to practice throughout the day before marking any of them as learned until I am ready for it. I like to do this incrementally because it is like building a tower - I don't move on to adding more unlearned items until I am comfortable enough with the previous ones (although not comfortable enough to mark them as learned). So, this seems like a bug to me, unless there's some underlying logic to it that I don't understand. Hope my long-winded explanation helps here :) Duncan, what you describe is consistent with my experience and seems to be the same issue. However, I don't want to let go of my items so soon - I need to practice them for most of the day before I really commit them my 2-3 days memory. Either way, it seems to be an inconsistency in the way unlearned items are handled - and I want to emphasize again that this doesn't seem to have ANYTHING to do with the number of grade 0 cards to hold in hand setting. Seems to be a completely different issue, especially because we're dealing with grade 1 cards anyway.
