(Newbie question) If I want to find a specific card, say the Queen of Pentacles, and read the card notes (assuming the deck has them), how do I do it efficiently? If I use the compare feature, or the free selection feature, notes aren't available.

Card notes are available in two ways. 1. Activate the Pop-up Notes (F8). When a card is out of the pack, just hover your mouse over it and the notes will pop-up. 2. When a card is selected (dealt) in Free Selection Mode you choose Card Notes (F6). These are the two ways you can read Notes on the cards. If you switch to another deck the Notes will change, assuming that there is anything written in the CardData.XML file, which is located in the decks folder. If not, the Card Note Box will be empty. To Type Notes to the cards just mark Allow Edits and type away. I figure you already know that. Remember that notes are only available when the card is dealt - out of the pack.

Hope this sheds some light on your question.

Can I just add that in free selection mode you can move around the deck with the arrow keys, so the sequence would be:

1) Start FSM (using menu or F2)
2) Sort the deck Ascending or Descending (using menu or Control+Shift+D)
3) If necessary click once on the fanned out deck to make sure it has the mouse capture (or use Control+D).
4) Use the left and right arrow keys to move through the deck (or by hovering with the mouse).
5) Use the up arrow key to deal the card once it is visible (or click in the top part of the card).

I will watch my mailbox. Keep up the good work.
