Does Flashcards Deluxe load up all cards in that list?

Yes it does.

Then, I think it doesn't save the bandwidth to download the whole thing. The
only difference is that AnyMemo will try to write image and db file, which will
consume some time.

If you end up downloading the incorrect file and so then have to "try again",
then yes, it does spend bandwidth unnecessarily, not to mention waist the users
time. Please try searching for the following & you'll see what the confusion
can be. Imagine you're my student and I ask you to look up and study the set
that has this sequence of characters in it: SQS04
What do you see? 4 sets that look almost identical. So which one do you study?
This is why you need a preview.
Please see attached file
Thank you
Scott

Is displaying only description, author and updated date helpful in this case?

Author or "Creator" is very important because only one set was created by me,
the teacher and the rest were copied and possibly changed in some way. The
preview shown above though, also shows the cards in the set;the term,
definition and even the picture.
Thank you

How diplaying these information when you are about to download:
Example:
"title":"SAT Quack! - Set 4 NarJrSr-EngVoc-SQS04"
"created_by":"Narada_Jr-Sr_High"
"term_count":20
"created_date":1362235051,
"description":"New Town High School AVID program\nBaltimore County Public School
s\nFlashcards created by Jodi Grosser, AVID Coordinator\nWords taken from
Teacher's Discovery SAT Qua
ck! video series"

That looks great ("created by" being the most important piece of info) but if
possible, it would be even better if the preview could show the actual cards in
the set as in the Flashcards Deluxe example above. If that's too difficult
though then at least the "created by" is there.
Thanks,
Scott

Ok added information displayed when you download a deck. Today's nightly build
will have this change.
It is quite difficult display a list without first downloading the whole thing.
To do that, I will download the db to a temporarily place file and use list
mode to display it. But this approach will take the same or more time than just
downloading it yourself.

Ok, sounds great. And I think that the users will really like the opportunity
to see the list of cards 1st like this. This way they are not blind to what
they are downloading before they download it. Thanks for your work.
Sincerely,
Scott

Well, in the approach I described above, the db will be downloaded in order to
generate the preview. So, it is like previewing is quite slow (Download db and
do preview), but downloading will be lightning fast (Move the file from tmp to
anymemo directory).

I understand. I still think that this is a good thing and will be appreciated
by the users. By the way, could the list view be kept or added as another view
option? The current "card list" option is kind of messy and difficult to read
if there are pictures on the cards because of the pic name being so long and
having so many odd characters like: /><img scr="rkarjnkkrjck57hdh45_mjpg"/>
Just a thought :)
Scott
PS. Can't wait to see this latest update though :)

Ok, I will leave the list preview feature pending for a little while unless
there are more people requesting it since it is not easy to do and I can't
apply it to other downloading source easily.
The list mode doesn't parse the HTML tags, I did this because the performance
on old Android 1.6 and 2.2 devices are very very poor. I will eventually allow
HTML to be parsed and images to be displayed.
The latest version can be downloaded from nightly build system. Go to
anymemo.org and click nightly build on the left. You need to remove the current
free version to install it though (And you need to remove the nightly build in
order to install google play version or beta versions). You can also wait a few
days for me to release a beta2.

Okay, I downloaded the nighty build after deleting my previous versions and it
looks great! The info that's there now, especially "Author" is so important and
really will relieve a lot of confusion on the user's end (my and I'm sure other
teacher's students end) - they'll know they have the set that the teacher made
for them and not somebody elses set.
Thank you so much!
Scott
