ZDT: Questions: flashcards choices; punctuation

[paul2008]

Not sure if these questions were raised before:

1. Can the number of choices in the flashcards quiz be adjusted? Right now it seems that it's only possible to have 4 choices.

2.Will there be a possibility to insert punctuation marks into flashcard's chinese character field? ZDT says 'invalid characters' everytime I type a sentence in chinese

(e.g. ‘没有空儿的话，不能出去玩儿。’ has 3 invlaid characters: a coma, a space and a dot. the only way to type it in is ‘没有空儿的话不能出去玩儿’, which is a bunch of characters put together).

Good program, best freeware.

Thank you

Hi Paul,

There is currently no way to adjust the number of choices in the definition test. Is this something that you feel is an important missing feature?

More flexible fields (character & pinyin) is a popular feature request. Not sure if it will get in the next release, but it is near the top on my list of things to do.

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

I think adding more choices would increase difficulty of the test and help to remember more overall; I'd be recalling more possible chinese translations for each english sentence presented.

Hey Paul,

Makes sense. If you would add your request to the zdt feature request database, I will have a record of it as reminder of things to look into.
