Hi @st3v3nmw thanks for including this on the latest release.

Random card from random deck breaks the heading. Normally you would get as heading the name of the deck you clicked with this option you get the sub deck it choose randomly in the deck you clicked.

Hi @4Source thanks for the prompt, it wasn't something I was particularly happy with.

For "Random card from random deck" ordering, what do you think of: ${deckName} (and ${subdeckCount} subdecks): ${cardCount}`

Where: deckName - the name of the deck chosen by the user (doesn't change as cards from different subdecks are shown) subdeckCount - count of subdecks under the deck chosen by the user. I'm leaning towards this being the remaining count, i.e. the count of subdecks that have remaining cards for review cardCount - total number of cards remaining (I.e. not the count of cards remaining in the current randomly chosen deck).

Let me know what you think.

Cheers Ronny

Sounds good, but subdeckCount counts only the top level of subdecks or count it each subdeck at each level below?

Maybe change the Format to: ${deckName}: ${cardCount} and a subtitle: Subdecks: ${subdeckCount}

Other option: ${deckName}: ${cardCount} and a subtitle: ${subdeckName}: ${subdeckCardCount}

I was thinking that the ${subdeckCount} would be the total number of descendant decks. That way a person would see this number decrease every time all cards completed review in any descendant deck and see some progress during the review.
