Words in queue by hdongen 11. Jan 2012
Hi everybody,
Does anybody know how the number of words in queue is determined?
I assumed as long as there are words I have to repeat, no new words will be added. But today I have over 100 words in queue (I skipped practicing yesterday) and the first word the program starts with, is a first time word. I don't understand the logic of that. I'd rather start repeating words first and only add first timers if my queue isn't crowded like today.
With kind regards,
Henny |

The queued words are not visible actually, not until you remove a word from your practice loops. |

I know they are not visible. My question is not about whether or not I can see them. I don't understand 1) how the program decides whether a word is in queue or not, 2) why the program starts with first time words, whereas there are a lot of words that needs to be repeated. |

1) once a word is due it will be put in the queue, unless there is a spot free in the practice loop 2) it shouldn't put first time words in the practice loop that is true. Are you sure this happened? How often did it happen? |

I am sure it happened. It even started with a first time word when there were more then 100 words in queue. I doubted at that moment there could be 100 words due, because at that moment I practiced every day and it kind of dis-encouraged me.
I don't know of the number of instances, but there were several. If you like, I could keep record?
Also, it mustn't be just words that are due, because I assume the program will add to the queue after you finished all the words that are due? Or is it designed in a way that words should only be added if I continue practicing after I emptied my queue? |

It might have been the case that this new word was put in the practice loop before the queue build up the following days. Or you might think it's a new word when its actually not. If you could keep record or tell me how to reproduce the problem that would help.
It's designed that new words are only added once the queue is empty. |

I'm keeping score now. There are 294 words in queue. My loop is set at 20 words. During the first loop of 20 words, there were 10 first timers! |

Does it make a difference whether I enter new words manually or automatically? |

Shouldn't make a difference. |

Those first timers, they show zero next to "Shown:"? |

I will see into that when I practice today. I enter the words manually, so I have to add some words in order to try it. |

I investigated it, and newly added words are now put at the back of the queue instead of front. Hope this fixes your problem. |
