For anyone who is interested, i tried out stackz on my HD2 today and it seems to work fine, icon/button sizes are great (higher res screen, but compensated for by the fact that it is a larger screen). The only minor bug is that the images in the bottom menu are psychedelic colours. Only used it for a few minutes but will report if any other bugs surface.
+1 for a windows 7 version! ;)

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask, but is there a version planned for the iPhone/touch in the future? It would be a great platform to have stackz on (and allow me to carry one less gadget around (ie:the ipaq) ;)

How about a word flagging feature? A lot of the time when I am studying on the subway I will come across a word that i would like to focus on later to consolidate it in my memory (eg: write out a few sentences using it, get a more precise definition from the dictionary etc). Having a button on the bottom toolbar to flag an item of vocab would be really great for this situation. This feature would be useful in both pocketstackz and Stackz 07.

I don't know about the rest of the users, but I use pocketstackz outside of the usual study environment as a way to reinforce what i have learned during my studies. If i can flag important vocab, it allows me to focus on it quickly and easily when i next sit down to do an extended study session (without having to chase down scraps of paper napkins with the title 'words to focus on'! ;)

I posted this problem quite a long time ago on this forum (http://www.stackz.com/forum/index.php?topic=112.0) but received no reply. At the time I kind of answered my own question by saying that I thought it was a memory related issue, but now i am not so sure.

When using pocketstackz on an ipaq rz1955, it will commonly quit back to the today screen without any warning after going into sleep mode. When it quits then it doesnt save anything either, any work done after the last save will be lost (lost quite a lot of info on a few occasions due to this). It happens regardless of if i have one or many programs open, but it doesnt happen every time.

The machine is as follows:
ipaq rz1955
Windows Mobile 5 (Korean edition)

If you need any more info then please don't hesitate to ask
Kind Regards,

Usually on the 1 hour subway commute. Great to cram a bit of Korean study for my course and more productive than watching a video :)

Hi,
I downloaded the stackz 07 preview and after using it for a short time I have one suggestion. Please implement some form of keyboard shortcuts for lesson management into the main window. My main file I use to work from has many lessons all together in the one file. I use this file promarily on my PDA and perform maintenance using the PC version. I like to have the focus lesson for any one week at the top of the file so that i can access it quickly, but in order to move it to the top of the pile i have to continually right click and select 'move up'. If i decide to add a new blank lesson then i have to move it all the way from the bottom to the top which takes a minute or two of right clicking. It has been a frustrating issue of this great program now for quite a while.
Other questions:
1) Will there ever be a dictionary version of stackz for the korean language?
2) In the edit this stack dialog window, is it possible to set the columns to automatically default to korean or english data entry? (ie: i want the first column to automatically default to korean input, and the second column to automatically default to English input so that i dont have to keep changing the microsoft IME panel from english inout to korean input. Its a very small issue, but would save a lot of time when entering in many words (often i enter in a word or sentence and realise that i forgot to change it to korean input mode, as all the words in one column should be the same language so it makes sense to have it default to one language for every row of that column). I tried to look in the help file for this, but there was no help file bundled with the download.
Thanks in advance!
Peter.

I am running pocketstackz on an rx1950. Unfortunately these little devices only shipped with a paltry 32Mb of RAM, this means that after booting up the device has about 10-11Mb of ram to allocate to programs. Often when i am using pstackz I will become distracted by something and the machine will auto power down after a set time. When I press the power button to wake up the machine then quite often the program will be automatically closed by WM5's memory management process, as it thinks that the machine is running low on memory (even though there is just one program open!). Is there any way of making pocketstackz immune to this process?
Kind Regards,
Peter

I know that this doesnt really address your issue, but having 7000 words in one lesson has many downsides and no real benefit that i can see. If you divide the 7000 words into seperate lessons (example:100 words per lesson) within the same file then you can focus on specific areas if you choose, or just select all and test if you feel like doing random reviewing for all 7000 words... Even better just choose a random lesson or 2 each time (still random but it should run substantially faster).
Just a suggestion.
Peter.
PS: im not affiliated with stackz in any way by the way, this is just the opinion of another user!  :D
