I only want to add the words ive learned and see how many i gained at the end of each lesson however randomly it started adding all blue words to known once i hit finish lesson, including names and things i dont want to add.
Previously if i finished a lesson it wouldnt add the blue words to known once i finish the lesson, i just didnt want random blue words unrelated to my language to be added as a known word to which has only started happening today unfortunately.
I can simply delete the blue words I dont want to add as i read however i just didnt have to do that before.
I am surprised because it has always worked like that. Itâs something people have been complaining about for years, but itâs not a bug and the Lingq team made it clear they wouldnât make any changes there because there is no reason to leave blue words in a lesson they say.
@bugsugg Yea this is how it is supposed to be unfortunately. The bug ironically was that it didnât work that way for you before .
@SeoulMate one reason I can think of, although granted I know it might be niche, is that I like to take my time creating lingqs properly on a computer where I can easily access all my preferred dictionaries and sources etc. So when Iâm using a device like a phone on a bus or train or Iâm just out, it would be nice to be able to read, click on the blue words to see their meaning but not save them as lingqs, finish a lesson, and then later in the day, when Iâm home, go through lingqing all the blue words. But yea, they seem pretty unmovable on this topic.
In âApp settingsâ under âReaderâ scroll down to âGeneralâ and disable âPaging moves to knownâ. I had the same problem at the start when I looked at a lesson and suddenly found some 250 words as known. I donât understand why this is not the default setting.
@bugsugg When you complete a lesson, all remaining blue words are moved to Known automatically. To avoid that, you need to ignore words before you complete a lesson or create LingQs. That is how it always worked; no changes have been made.
Yeah, I think it makes a terrible experience for a new user.
I had no idea what was going on, and by the time I found it was just a terrible default setting, it was too lateâthe âKnown wordsâ pool was wrecked.
I donât know why someone doesnât fix it to be a usable default experience for new users.
Similarly, âPaging moves to knownâ is odd too. Especially, defaulting to it. Who is learning words that fast? It only makes sense for someone who already knows alot of the language or maybe for someone who is using sentences view only (in which case it is âNext sentence moves to knownâ.
