Auto-Advance active automatically

Does it also happen in the desktop version?

• [x] This bug does not occur in the latest version of Anki Desktop

What are the steps to reproduce this bug?

Auto-advance is on automatically on AnkiDroid 2.21-alpha4, with no way to turn the feature off. I only found the shortcut to turn it off-on in the settings, but it's not feasible to use in Ankidroid. Auto-advance should have a toggle somewhere.

Expected behaviour

Auto-advance used to be off by default.

Just to make sure, which shortcut are you specifically referring to?

It's the Settings>Controls>Toggle auto advance

[snowtimeglass]

You can assign gestures to the "Toggle auto advance" action that you have already found. Prerequisite: "Settings">"Controls"> enable "Enable gestures"

[AlifianK]

Thanks, I use that for the moment as a workaround.

@AlifianK Are you using this feature in Anki Desktop?

[AlifianK]

@AlifianK Are you using this feature in Anki Desktop?

Yes, sometimes I use it, so I set it in the deck options.

[david-allison]

So to confirm: You want the feature enabled in Anki Desktop, but not in AnkiDroid?

[AlifianK]

No, what I want is for the feature to not be on by default. In Anki, I have to activate the feature first, but in Ankidroid 2.21-alpha4 it's on by default. Before updating to 2.21-alpha, I was on 2.20-alpha1, and the feature wasn't activated by default on that version.

It looks rather natural to me that the values set in the deck options get activated in the reviewer by default. Users can stop the auto advance by changing the values in the deck options.

How about reserving a decision on whether or not to change the current behavior, and giving priority to adding the "Toggle auto advance" action into the menu in the reviewer?

No. Anki doesn't have the global setting.

I can implement this

[RobozinhoD]

A question about how "Wait for audio" should work:

In Anki desktop, If I have an audio that takes longer than the timeout, the action will happen immediately after the audio ends.

Example: If I have a 10 seconds audio, the timeout is 5 seconds, and the configured action is to show the answer, then the answer will be shown after 10 seconds, exactly after the audio ends.

Shouldn't the behavior be actually waiting for the audio to end before starting the timer? So I can hear the audio and then think about the answer in the time I set.

In the previous example, I'd hear my 10 seconds audio, then have 5 seconds before the answer is automatically shown.

@AlifianK Is this resolved in the 2.21 series?

[AlifianK]

No, it hasn't. This is me without doing or activating anything.

2.21.0 beta 2

[AlifianK]

It's fixed in the new reviewer. Although, it plays the audio automatically (in the deck options, "Don't play audio automatically" is turned on), that's why I'm refraining from using it. As you can see, nothing happened after 3 seconds, until I tapped show answer button.

@AlifianK could you export your collection without media and send it to my Gmail: davidallisongithub

I'll get it triaged before 2.21 goes out, probably tonight
