Hi All I have been tinkering with Ubuntu for a couple of months on a desktop and today have just ditched Windows Vista on my notebook and am trying to get ...

Try this: Open a terminal window (command prompt) and cd to the directory where the bin file is then type this: chmod +x whatever.bin <enter> Now type this: ...
Do any of you, who use the timer function in quizzes, experience the problem / have a solution to the problem of entering a solution just too late, resulting...
... This has been bothering me for a long time, too. I've just implemented a fix, which disables the quiz form for a short amount of time (customizable, 750...
My number one request is still the ability to use just the mouse, without moving it, just clicking, to study flashcard mode and avoid risking RSI when I get...
... This is a good suggestion, and I'll plan to do it for the next minor release - probably not the bug fix release I'm planning for this week, but very soon....
I've released a new version of Zyzzyva, 2.0.3. Zyzzyva is a program for studying words, practicing anagramming, and adjudicating challenges. It runs on...
Hi Michael. The reason I gave up on Zyzzyva is that I had set up a couple of cardbox quizzes, then realized that I had to make changes to them but found that I...
... I agree, that's something that is very sorely lacking at this point, and I plan to implement more friendly cardbox controls soon. For now, you can remove...
Your welcome. Excellent program otherwise! ... From: Michael Thelen <mthelen@...> Subject: Re: [zyzzyva-users] feedback To: zyzzyva-users@yahoogroups.com...
The owner of the caravan park in Spain, where I am at present, was not amused when I presented him with 450 large kangaroos for my monthly rent. He was...
I'm sorry for sending another email so soon after the last one, but I've released a new version of Zyzzyva, 2.0.4, which fixes a bug introduced in 2.0.3....
Hi z-u- Long time reader, first time caller. I recently replaced my computer (a Mac) with a similar version, restoring every file from a backup using Mac's...
Hi Mike, Great program. I have one suggestion: I quiz by anagram method. In the "Analyze Quiz" function, I would like to see not only the words I miss but...
Yay - was able to finally crack this one. I renamed my old preferences files (~/Library/Preferences/Zyzyyva.plist, com.pietdepsi.Zyzzyva.plist) to some...
I think a nice feature would be the ability to select individual word(s) from the list returned by a search to add to the cardbox. So you do a search and...
Good evening, I wanted to make my fonts in Zyzzyva really huge (running 2.0.4 on OSX), and I did that, but now they're taller than the box that I'm typing in....
I would love to see a delete button added somewhere after you save a quiz. In lexpert and supermemo, you can get rid of a word from the list, or remove the...
... Hm, interesting... I'll have to check this out to see what's going on. It sounds like it might be a Qt problem, in which case I might not be able to fix...
Dear Michael,Been a while since I wrote to you about new features for Zyzzyva. Meanwhile, I have been using the cardbox extensively. Your latest tweak allowing...
hi folks, i see how you can remove a whole list of items from your cardbox, but is there a way you can get into the cardbox for any given day and delete single...
You could try this... its a bit of manual work... - Create a list of words in a text editor, all upper case, one word per line (in any order) - Then do a...
This doesn't accomplish what you want exactly, but the strategy I use for those type of words is to put them in a high cardbox. When the word comes up, look...
... Well, the point of the cardbox is to automatically figure out which words you know, so you can spend your time studying the words you actually need to...
Yeah, I get that. I guess I am just too impatient to keep wading through thousands of words that I know and waiting for them to climb up that high. I am moving...
One more suggestion (definitely in the "rainy day" category). A certain percentage of potential cardbox users are not terribly comfortable with adding words...
... I'd like to see something like that too. I think of it as "cardbox autofill". The way it would work is that if less than N (configurable) words are due,...
