I commented previously on the button suggestion: Set Learn Ahead Limit to Zero - #23 by dae
I’m afraid I still feel that it would be a regression for users who prefer to have a non-zero lookahead. Such users would need to press the button every day, and wouldn’t be able to see the near-due cards shown in their due counts until they hit the button, unless we make things even more confusing by keeping the existing learn ahead limit as well and making the button optional.
Agreed about the scope creep - all I was hoping for in my initial request is you do something like check the creation time of the collection and avoid adjusting this setting if it’s over some threshold like a day, so it doesn’t cause user confusion.
Seconded!
