Hi,
First of all, it's important to understand that this setting only
applies for the 'non-memorised' cards, i.e. only for those cards that
you still need to learn and that don't yet have a grade 2 or higher.
Say you have 200 new cards to learn and that you set 'xx' to 3. Then
Mnemosyne will e.g. show you the following cards
1,2,3,2,3,1,2...
I.e. you will first be learinng only the first three cards of those 200
new cards.
Suppose now you consider card 1 as studied and grade it 1. Now Mnemosyne
will e.g. show you this sequence:
2,4,3,2,3,4,2,3,...
In other words, at any point in time, you have only 3 new cards on your
plate that you are trying to memorise.
Hope this helps,
Peter

per day. You are the judge of that: you can learn more cards or less cards, depending on
how you feel."
I've read through this multiple times on many occasion but still do not
understand, initially when I was using the previous 1.x version I used to
change this value to 100 or 99 on start (had to do it each time as program was
on usb) but it didn't actually change anything?
Due to the nature of my courses, I generally make about 120 courses for two lectures, and
I generally learn 60% prior to imputing them into excel and the rest when I input them
into excel, so I prefer to "memorise" 200-300 cards at once, so I'm actually
quite happy the software doesn't limit me to 10-99 cards every time I restart it.
But I'm getting really curious, if it doesn't stop me at a certain number of cards, what
is it's purpose? And are there any plans to "fix" this desirable fault (if it's
a fault) in the future? Would be good to know so I'd be aware I have to switch software
and etc.
