      In VTrain 4.5, data were entered by pressing Ctrl+Enter. This applied to the Compose mode as well as to the Review mode.

In
VTrain 5.0, the shortcut was changed to Enter. Now, linefeeds are entered by pressing Ctrl+Enter or Shift+Enter.

By the way, this setting can be reversed in VTrain 5.0 from the Tools menu.

How do I remove a Deck of cards from a Cardfile?
^
      Background information: On the left of the VTrain window, you can see a Cardfile (German flag Karteikästen) filled with Decks of cards (German flag Lektionen). But nothing is what it seems: the Decks are not really "filled" into the Cardfile, but only "linked" to it. That is, the "cards" you can see in the Cardfile are actually links to cards safely stored in some Deck.

To remove a Deck from a Cardfile, you can do the following:
  1. Exit VTrain.
  2. Rename that Deck from Windows Explorer.
  3. Start VTrain again.
  4. Open the Cardfile again if necessary (File menu).
  5. When it loads the Cardfile, VTrain will not find that Deck any more and will delete all links to that Deck from the Cardfile. This will be displayed visually in terms of cards disappearing from the Cardfile.

-   We plan to add a Deck Navigator to the Cardfile Panel.

How do I know which Decks of cards are linked to a Cardfile?
^
      (Please see the question above for background information about Cardfiles and Decks.)

If you want to know if a specific Deck is linked to your card, you can note down the number of cards in the Cardfile (tip: make a screenshot), exit VTrain, rename that Deck from Windows Explorer and start VTrain again. Check the number of cards in the Cardfile has changed. Finally, exit VTrain
without saving changes and rename the Deck to its original name.
