Card Statistics in Status BarType:
Plugin
Compatibility:
Mnemosyne 1.x +
Status:
Complete
Source:
Based on a patch by Adam Raizen, with one or two improvements. Description:
Displays the statistics of the current card in the status bar. e.g. displays for the current card at bottom left: The Days until next repetition field shows potential values for grades 1-5. This plugin can be useful for understanding how the spaced-repetition algorithm works and debugging extensions to Mnemosyne. Its value for ordinary users is, however, disputable. In many ways it is better to trust the algorithm and implementation, particularly when choosing how to grade cards. In fact, the display of potential future intervals can be disabled for this reason.

6 days
What does it mean when a card is scheduled for 6 days (as viewed in the information given by this plugin), but that card is showed on the next day (not 6, but 1 day)? Do I have to divide every number by 6?
6 days - reply
That readout means that if you press 0 or 1 the card will be scheduled again today, if you press any of 2 to 5 inclusive than the card will be scheduled 6 days from now. There is no need to divide by 6.
But, there is some randomization within Mnemosyne that prevents the plugin from giving an exact number, i.e. when the card is really scheduled a random number is added to the value presented.
The plugin calls the same process_answer() function (in mnemosyne_core.py) that is used to grade cards, so it should give accurate results.
You could double-check the values given by, after grading a card, opening the Edit Deck dialog box, find the card, and then viewing it's statistics. But, because of the randomization (and also the influence of a card's state), it's worth sampling several cards. It may be necessary to take card to avoid mistakenly checking the wrong side of a 'vice versa' card.
Neat
I agree with the other comment; it's really interesting to see what will happen to the current card if I do a 2 or 3 or 4 or 5, and I feel I am getting a little better understanding of the spacing effect. Definitely a keeper!
This plugin is simply
This plugin is simply fantastic. Thankyou very much.
