Migrating legacy flashcards

[abhoriel]

Hello,

I've been trying out the beta. The UI definitely seems better (even if less pretty) than the old Pleco thus far.

Is it possible to migrate the legacy flashcard data and use it for simple SRS or SM2 SRS scheduling? If I create an SM2 profile, it seems like I'm starting again. I mostly want to make use of the new leech detection features (after many years of flashcards, I've gone from hating leech detection to realising it is probably quite important for people with large collections)

Another point: pressing answer buttons in the flashcard app doesn't give visual feedback (eg. the button doesn't change colour). Sometimes when my phone lags, I think i haven't pressed the button properly, press it again and then I end up revealing the following flashcard too.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks!

In theory you could do a batch 'copy score' command to migrate legacy data to a SRS profile, but we aren't trying to translate it intelligently yet so while it should broadly work it might be a bit wonky. Writing code for that translation is one of our last to-do items once we're totally happy with the rest of SRS (which we actually just reworked quite a bit). You could actually get leech detection even in a legacy profile if you use one of our awkwardly named 'card filters' to limit the test to cards 'not incorrect in row' a certain # of times.

Visual feedback: this should be fixed in the next beta.
