[progress bar] understanding a specific setting

[thiswillbeyourgithub]

Prerequisite checklist

• [ X ] Did you check the add-on description on AnkiWeb for known issues?
• [ X ] Did you perform a cursory search through existing issue reports?

What is the problem/feature you would like to see fixed/implemented?

# Only include new cards once reviews are exhausted.
includeNewAfterRevs = True

(in line 37) I don't understand this setting nor the comment above. What is it supposed to do ? I tried reading the code to understand but I'm not skilled enough :/

edit : also, it seems the "config" button does not work on progress bar in anki 2.1, we have to manually open the python file to edit the settings, just notifying you

Version information

Anki 2.1 Ubuntu 18.04

Hi @thiswillbeyourgithub,

Sorry for the delayed response. Didn't have a lot of time recently.

includeNewAfterRevs instructs the Progress Bar add-on to not add new cards to the total tally it counts your progress against until you have completed all review cards. This can be useful in scenarios where you have a mountain of new cards and only a minuscule number of reviews to compare against them. With the setting set to False, PB would show little to no progress as 10 or 20 reviews won't make a dent in the several thousand new cards PB is counting.

Thanks also for the reminder about the add-on configuration under 2.1. Adding a proper 2.1-compatible config is definitely on my to-do list.

In any case, hope that helps!
