Hard to add.

in Custom Card Sets
So what is my problem? Well, it's a tiny nitpick, that's all. Basically I dislike the 3 second timer on adding things to a set, If I'm adding it to only one set and want to move to the next card in my list I have to wait 3 seconds, if I want to add it to another set I either have to be very quick about it or it'll die on me and I have to open it up again.

Now 3 seconds isn't that much to wait and it's not that big a deal, but it makes adding things to set somewhat frustrating, especially since you have to delete each card you want to change and then add it to each set you want it in.

Personally I like to put cards both into a color-coded set and into type-coded sets, making many cards have 3 sets they have to be assigned to and the process gets annoying pretty quickly.

What is my wish? "Is he here only to rant?", you ask. Well, no, I'd like a small change, I'd like the option to disable the three second countdown to end it and leave it for me manually.

Possibly, I'd like a way to edit cards that I've already made, especially if I forgot something small like a dot or a capital letter/ italics for a small part of the text.

    Dodgerer - As a person who adds a lot of cards to sets, I feel your pain. I don't know that "disabling the timer" is a thing. I'm pretty sure that's just letting you know that it takes a second for the card to be put in the set so that you don't think it's frozen. But having check boxes for the sets you want the card to go into might be a great idea. That way you could mark all the sets you want the card to go into and then click add once.

    Not a terrible idea!

    The timer probably exists to put a lock on the card/set while it is being manipulated so other things don't change during the same time and mess it up. That's the same reason you can only install one app on your phone or one program on your computer at the same time.

    Good usability feedback. We've reduced the timer to a half second, should speed things up. We need it to be at least this long to give the user feedback before automatically closing the window. Hope this helps!

    WooHoo!

    Whoa I totally misread this request actually. What does everyone think - should we just remove the timer and auto close? Leave it to you so you can add a single card to multiple instead? Let us know!

    I love the idea of multiples. It would make set adds a bit easier to manage!

    Leave it for multiple and we close it ourselves
