If you make a new card, its starting easiness is the average easiness of all the cards in the database. It would be a nice experiment to try that out on your deck, and see what easiness comes out.
If you want to tinker with the easiness factor of the cards that are already in your deck, export them to xml (without resetting learning data), edit the easiness of the card in the xml file, start a new database and import the xml. Look for lines like: <item id="240de446" u="0" gr="4" e="1.300" ac_rp="7" rt_rp="24" lps="4" ac_rp_l="1" rt_rp_l="0" l_rp="1289" n_rp="1291"> 'e' is the easiness factor, and cards that you haven't seen yet will have u='1' (u stands for unseen) Cheers, Peter On Friday 15 May 2009 05:25:40 am samuelthebold wrote: > I have been using mnemosyne for well over a year now.
