Side 3 first

Side 3 first

Postby SpitziQuizi » Sun Mar 21, 2021 4:31 pm

Hello there Ernie

I have been using FCD for probably 10 years now... still one of my favorite apps. I switched from iPhone to Android in the meantime, the transfer was quite easy.

My medical deck in FCD consists of 3200 cards that are structured as follows
- side 1: name of a disease
- side 2: features of the disease, how to diagnose etc.
- side 3: picture
- side 4 and 5: sometimes more pictures

Now I would like to study the deck showing the picture on side 3 first, then side 1. Is there a way to do that? In the options "show side first", you can just choose between Side 1 and Side 2.


Thanks for your marvellous app. Greets from Switzerland Simon

Hi Simon,

Yes. Go to Deck Options > Card Layout. Tap "Custom 1" to select. To edit, tap "Edit", Custom 1.

There is a help (?) button here in this screen. I recommend you read.

If "show side first = side 1", then tap "Side 1->2".
Here you can see what is shown on each side. Adjust to your liking.

Side 1 = side shown first
Text 1 = first text item as defined on your card

You can show any combination on Text items on each of the 5 sides (what you see when studying).
Let me know if you need more guidance.

Hi Ernie

Thanks.

I don't get what this "Side 1 -> 2" and "Side 2 -> 1" means...

well, i took "Side 1 -> 2" and edited the content for Side 1 to Side 5, Side 1 now being the Picture 3, Side 2 being Text 1, Side 3 being Text 2 and Picture 2

but it doesnt work..., it still shows Text 1 as the first Side
and I noticed that with this settings, the selected card categories don't work anymore, and all available cards will be shown.

Any guidance?

1) Deck Options > Show Side First. Make sure this is set to "Side 1". This is what uses "1->2" in card layout.

2) in Card Layout, is "Custom 1" selected.

If you have #1 and #2 correct, I don't know why there'd be a problem.


As for categories not working, that doesn't make sense. Card Layout shouldn't affect what cards are shown. If you change Card Layout back to "Standard", what happens?
Do you have "Advanced Layout" on in deck options? The instructions I have you assumed you have this OFF.
