Anyone’s looking at the poll? It seems like 30% want the current globe icon. Although this is the largest plurality the majority doesn’t want that. If we go FPTP, well then the current icon works. But otherwise we’d need to change it to something.
Actually on a different note, approval voting+lots of options is just a far better way of voting. Pretty sure something would’ve come up on top. (the psephologist inside me suddenly woke up here)
I could make a multiple choice poll with more options, but I doubt the outcome would be very different
The newly added Ctrl+Alt+E shortcut for “Empty Cards” conflicts with the shortcut for “Create Copy”, in the Reviewer.
I have edited the comment to include a screen recording.
RC2 is now available:
If no regressions are found, I’d like to get this out as stable within a week.
The issue with shortcuts is fixed, thank you.
I’m wondering about whether the current order of the items is proper, in relation to the order of the buttons.
Is it inappropriate to switch the order of the two items? (In other words, what do you think about placing the “Select Upload to AnkiWeb to …” first, and the “Select Downloading from AnkiWeb to …” second.)
I always thought with buttons, people go from right-to-left rather than left-to-right so “Download from AnkiWeb” coming first makes sense to me.
I think it depends on the direction of writing. Where I live, everything is counted and read and written from left to right.
I’d say to use common words like Local and Remote for the options, use icons to identify them, and remove at least half of that wall of text.
In my country, there are languages that use RTL but in my language we go left-to-right. Interesting that people don’t approach this the same way I do.
I suppose it is one of promising ideas. Dae’s previous opinion also seems to be close to it. It may be adopted in the future, after the problem mentioned in his opinion above is addressed.
I guess these ideas also deserve to be considered in the future. (I like the icon idea.) Depending on specific idea, text reduction may be realized this time.
Btw, the current icon for global settings won
It’s a win in FPTP but it still isn’t the majority. The majority (61%) wants a change. It’s just that they are not sure change to what. I mean the whole poll started because some were against the current icon. So most of 61% who voted in other options probably are against the current icon.
@dae thoughts on the globe icon?
How about switching the order of the options of “Answer action” and “Question action”.
Though “Answer action” may be more “major” option than “Question action”, I suppose it would be easier to understand their flow to simply place them in the intuitive order, i.e., “question, then answer”, like the options for display time above.
I think it would be useful to have a link to the Add-on FSRSHelper in the FSRS deck options. This Add-on looks the same as the advanced settings for FSRS.
Hi all,
24.06 has now been released as stable, with only a few changes since the last rc:
Please see the updated change notes, especially the top section: Release 24.06 · ankitects/anki · GitHub
If you have any issues with the stable release, please create a new thread.
These sort of design choices can take up a lot of discussion time. I don’t have strong feelings about the globe, and am happy to accept a PR to change it to something else if a strong consensus develops.
I didn’t have time for this, but agree the opposite order would be more natural.
Anki’s FSRS support should function without the add-on, and is used by the mobile clients as well. I’d rather we achieve feature parity with the add-on instead.
