<p>When I have graded a slide as incorrect, with the slide show set
to repeat wrong notes shortly after grading, the note appears with
the word "Next" in place of the right/wrong choices. I cannot find
any information about this in the help file, and I don't understand
what the function of this checkbox is.</p>
<p>If I hover the mouse over it, it reads "Grade as wrong. Hold
shift to advance immediately"</p>
<p>Is that what happens if I click on "Next"?<br>
If so, how does that affect the fact that the slide has already
been graded as wrong?<br>
If not, then what does the button do?</p>
<p>If I know the slide after seeing it the second time, is it now
wrong or right? How do I mark it?<br>
When a slide has been marked as wrong, when is the next time that a
user has to mark it right?</p>
<p>When I have automatic transitions on and the slide show (set to
study all due notes) comes to an end, it starts over again
immediately, even if all slides have been marked as correct. Is
this the intended behavior? How does this behavior interact with
due notes?</p>
<p>Thanks.<br>

<p>The tooltip you are seeing is incorrect. Thank you for reporting
it. We will fix it.<br>
Actually, the 'Next' button was designed to answer some of your
questions. Originally we just had the right/wrong button, but
customers did not know whether they should mark things right/wrong
the second time they saw the slide. So we changed it to Next, which
means 'Go to next slide set', so that it should be clear that you
can't grade the slide anymore. It has already been graded, and you
cannot change that in the current slideshow, because it has already
been rescheduled for study in the future.</p>
<p>To answer your second question, 'yes' we designed the automatic
transitions to loop. It will have no impact on your due notes. It
is purely for people who want to loop continuously through the
slideshow.</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br>

<p>When a slide has been marked as wrong, when is the next time
that a user has to mark it right?</p></div>Michaeltag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/122059732011-12-20T15:46:38Z2011-12-20T15:46:38Z"Next" command and related questions<div><p>You grade each note once per slideshow. Once you have graded it,
you can't change the grade. So the next time you mark it
right/wrong is in your next slideshow.<br>
Make sense?</p>

(from automatic transitions)? When you quit the program?</p>
<p>Can you have more than one slideshow in process? That is to say,
can I stop working on one for a while, go to another, and comeback
to the first one? How do I do that?</p>
<p>Assuming that I can temporarily leave a slide show, is it ended
in terms of grading?</p>
<p>I can't find this info in the help file.</p></div>Michaeltag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/122059732011-12-20T17:47:35Z2011-12-20T17:47:35Z"Next" command and related questions<div><p>Hi Michael,<br>
There is only ever one slideshow at a time. You can't make multiple
slideshows, or leave one and come back. The current slideshow
persists, even if you go to one of the other modes and come back,
or quit the app. A slideshow ends when you start a new slideshow.
The new slideshow replaces the old one.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<p>It is a wonderful application. I use it all the time for
language learning.</p>
