Open "cards saved for later" and card details are in wrong place #3043

Closed hssm closed 9 years ago

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 2146

If I want to see the list of cards saved for later I have to edit any other card and
find "saved data" there in the menu.
Should be one level above in the card browser

On the other hand in order to see details on a card, like when it will appear next,
I have to stay in the card browser and make a long tap.

I suggest to switch both items.

I'm not sure what you're intending to do with the data in the browser, but this feature
is supposed to be for adding cards in bulk, so it makes sense to have it in the add
cards dialog... 

This feature is going to be removed eventually so please don't rely it

Well, then let me describe my workflow. Maybe I am abusing it. 
I add a word from a dictionary (via share>AnkiDroid) and if I don't have time to do
the necessary copy'n'pasting I save it for later.
To integrate these words later into my deck of cards I go to the flashcard browser
(that the right word? I mean where you can search for flash cards), search for something
open any card for editing and access the "data saved for later" or whatever it is called
in the English translation. [I just discovered I can get there quicker via the + on
top level. Now it makes more sense.]

The "saved data" has nothing to do with the opened card and is not assigned to any
deck, that's why IMHO it should be on the top level. While the property of a specific
card could be in the context menu when that card is opened for editing.

This how I built a list of words that are relevant to me. (A feature I missed dearly
since I left Windows Mobile, where it was integrated into the dictionary). I don't
use any PC application. Sad to hear that this feature will be removed too (like the
imperfect Kanji info).

Ah I see, you are accessing it in a very strange way. Please access it via the + button
for adding new notes.

I will do that, but I still think the card details are misplaced.
