0.8.0 sandbox build out

I’ve put out a new sandbox build that contains the new Flashcard notes functionality.  Now you can attach text, images and sounds to your flashcards. Keep in mind that this is not beta, or alpha software.  It’s just a snapshot of stuff I’m working on.  That said, I’d like your comments on whether you think this new notes feature is useful.

Known limitations:

• Can only play mp3 sound files.
• Cannot stop sound file once you’ve started to play it.  So don’t attach big sound files!
• No shortcut key to play attached sound.
• Attachments do not get backed-up.

Please make sure that you keep a back up of your existing word lists if you try this build, as it will make modifications to your user database.

Adding notes to flashcards

One of the most frequent requests I get from people is that they want the ability to add user defined content to their flashcards.  I’ve started to take a look at implementing this and here are some (very early) screenshots of what I have so far.  Currently it supports the addition of textual information and the ability to embed an image.  I will also add the ability to attach a sound as well.

This Note editor will be a tab in the Add/Edit entry dialogs.

Any comments so far?
