Clearing the memory for unrated Personal Sets

[drahacikfm]

Let's say I have done all the Mate-in-1 problems.  So now when I choose "Mate in 1 - Unsolved" it tells me the problem set is empty.  But what if I would like to go through all of them again?   Now it's not possible.  I could  choose the "Mate in 1" set, but that will not take you through all the problems one by one.  It will give randomly give you problems, so you get a lot of repeats before you have finished all the problems once each.  And the count of problems remaining won't go down after each problem you do.

There could be a "reset" option that will erase Chess Tempo's memory for all the problems in one of the unrated sets.  Then you can do that set again.  I guess the way it would be implemented is that the date and time that you do the reset would be saved.  Then when the server is looking at your history of problems, it will look only at problems you did after that date/time to determine which problems you have already solved.

Or make it a times 2 option were one can repeat an entire set.

Currently the underlying search is a bit more complicated than what is exposed to the the user, so I can support searches for example, show me problems I've only got correct N times.  I'll probably expose these as "advanced" search options at some point which allow this.   Explicitly having a "reset" option is also possible but would have to be equivalent to removing the problems from your problem history (or I could introduce a special flag for just these types of searches which gets cleared when doing a reset, but exposing the advanced search options might be preferred in that this also provides a few other capabilities users might find useful).

You could always change it so that it checks your problem history since problem x.  Then that could be your active problem pointer and you could set it to anything you wanted.  If you set it to zero then it would consider all problems solved.  If you set it whatever the last problem was that you solved, then it would ignore all pre-solved problems and all problems would be treated as new.  You would also have the ability to set it back 30 days, 90 days, whatever.

That would be the best of all worlds I would think.

I think adding this (problems since X) as a general search feature would be handy.
