Hey, Ernie
I finally came to pinpoint the bug and I’m so relieved because I found the cause of the trouble!
Now, try this first, step by step:
1. Run your Version 2.6 and go to one of your decks, click on the two-card icon to get to the card list screen.
2. Then click on that “+” button to add a new card and fill out any side of the new card, for example, type “test” in the Side1 and “bug” in the side 2, write anything if you want, just for testing the app.
3. DON’T go back to the card list screen yet when you’re done with editing the new card.
4. Now, here comes the tricky part: double-click on the home button of your iPhone to bring up the multi-tasking screen, then switch to any of the other apps that are running on your device, maybe the safari, go to the safari!
5. You don’t have to do anything when you’re in safari, just switch right back to Flashcards Deluxe.
6. So, the new card is supposed to be still there with all the data you have inputted earlier, in my case, it’s Side1: “test”, and Side2: “bug”.
7. Now, you can click on the “card” button on your top left to go back to the card list screen and search for the new card which you just added at the beginning, so type “test” or “bug” in the search bar.
8. Nothing came up, huh? I don’t think you’d find that card especially when your iPhone is a 3GS which runs IOS4 just as mine is. By the way, the number of the cards in the deck stays the same, right? It didn't increase because the card wasn't really "saved".
So here’s the thing, as long as you switch to another app before you finish editing your new card, the data will be lost, it’s like – with this V 2.6, the data is temporarily saved into the random memory when you add a new card and it’s all gone when you switch to another app.
Now you understand what happened to me the other day, right? I spent 15 minutes editing a new card, switching between this app and the safari because i needed to copy some info from the internet. But when i was done, i couldn't find the new card after i went back to the list screen, how disappointing, right?
I’ll much obliged if you can debug this in the next version, Ernie. Thanks in advance!
