Here is my feedback on 1.2.2... First, the good parts. I like the basic philosophy here. I like spaced repetition. I'm optimistic at the prospect of learning large amounts of things from multiple fields (e.g., a language, a memory peg system, some things to help me at card games, maybe even bus schedules and the like.)
Next, keeping in mind that I haven't seen 2.0, here are my criticisms... * "Vice versa" should not add an independent second card but rather be integrated, so that editing a flash card does not require editing two cards. * Images should be automatically scaled. * The software should check for a "new day" while it is running, not just when it is started. I don't usually shut down my laptop - I just have it "sleep" at night - and I want Mnemosyne to pop up a new card at the start of a new day, even if it is already running. * Related to the above, saving should be automatic. * The "edit the deck" display should hide the HTML tags and be more readable. * In general, the user should never be forced to read or write HTML. HTML should be an advanced mode. * Subcategories would be useful, both for learning and for editing the deck. * The software is painful to use with a mouse, because of the changing location of the grades. Fix the location of the buttons. I know the keyboard can be used for input, but I just want the option of using a mouse sometimes. * Fewer grades would be wonderful. I think 3 grades would be perfect: "dunno/wrong", "got it with some effort", "piece of cake". This would also make it easier to use a keyboard (e.g., 1,2,3 with your middle three fingers.) * Integrated support for audio recording would be nice. * When you edit a card, there should be an option to reset the score. For example, in a memory peg system, you might decide to change the word associated to a two digit number; afterwards, you don't want the program to assume you still know this card.
