Spread Dealing Options

When a spread is selected from the main menu a number of things may happen before the spread is dealt out. These are:

1) The deck is shuffled or not. By default it is not shuffled unless you have marked the option Always shuffle before dealing a Spread on the Cards tab of the Options form.

2) Any loose cards that are out of the deck are collected. By default you are prompted as to whether you want to collect those cards first.

3) The deck is parked.

The following options can be found on the Cards tab of the Options form and override the defaults:

The options for parking refer to decks which are used in the spread and other decks which you may happen to have open but are not used in the spread (remember the program allows you to launch new decks and a spread can use multiple decks). There is also an option to never prompt to collect cards, in which case any extra cards are simply left out.
