Hi guys, First, I feel I should clarify my purpose of these posts. I do not have a problem with my current workflow that I can't deal with, using Mnemosyne as it is.
I simply wish to contribute ideas and raise items for discussion that may help make Mnemosyne even better in the future. Whether they actually do help, is ultimately up to Peter. > Yes, this is precisely the recommended (and currently implemented) workflow. > You don't get to see new cards until you relearned your lapsed cards.

Generally I can distinguish them, but I often encounter situations where I can't: 1) The unlearned card has already been showed to me the last time I ran Mnemosyne, but I decided at that point to stop working. I visually recognise the card, but never tried to memorize it. 2) There are more such cards than I'd expect. I often edit the card deck while I'm working, and Mnemosyne tends to change the shown card after each edit. 3) The card contains the name of a country, for which I already memorized it's location on the map, but not it's flag. Again, I visually recognise the card, but never tried to memorize it. 4) The card is simply very similar to another one, but not the same. The whole thing makes me feel as if the user interface / workflow just isn't entirely finished yet. If there are 3 steps to the daily process, why not show them as 3 steps? > Using a plugin that shows me how many cards I have to do for the next > 3-4 days, I set a goal for each day.

I work the same way, but I use the statistics window for it. Only, I do continue until I finished all the cards I just missed as well, and only then decide whether or not to continue.
