Filecards is a program that is supposed to help you with learning things,
where Things can be anything, you can put on filecards. On the one side the
question, on the other side answer.
For any questions/requests regarding this program, please mail me. If you could put it to some use, please
mail me, too! I would like to know, wether it is worth keeping on
developing, because my last exam EVER is 25.4.2002, after that date I have no
personal interest in a program like this anymore...
Here a little crappy icon I made for this program:
![](filecards.jpg)
...and here you can download filecards
configuration
In your homedir, put a file named ".karteikarten" (without ")
in this file there should be 2 lines:
verzeichnis=/your/dir/where/your/filecard-databases/reside
fontsize=12
I know, it's not very good, and for I used a "fixed" font in the program, you
cant't put much other fontsizes in ther than 12... in the program itself
there are some other fonts commented out, to use them, remove the "#" from
the beginning, and put a "#" in front of the fonts you don't want to use.
How to create your own filecards
Right now there is only the hard way:
use any editor, to create a file like this:
3. Struktur von Chlorophyll und Zentralatom?
Trimer aus 47kDa Untereinheiten, die jeweils 7 BChl-a-Moleküle enthalten. Die
Untereinheiten bestehen je aus 15 beta-Faltblättern, die sich um den
Chlorophyllhaltigen Kern wickeln ("Flechtkorb")
The first line is the question, any line after that, up to the next
is the answer.
One special thing about the first line: If you want to make a linebreak in
the first line, use the tab-key. Any tab-characters in the first line are
replaced by a newline.
In the answer, tabs don't matter.
