Hi Samuel, No offense intended, but I think the fundamental problem you need solved is not within Mnemosyne's scope - it is in your school's computer system where students share computers with no individual logins or protected filespace. The correct solution is for each user to have a personal login with their own private and protected filespace. This is the responsibility of an operating system really; not Mnemosyne or the other applications students use. If you don't have control over the issue of individual accounts, then the next best thing is to provide some kind of individual filespace, be it through some kind of network/internet host like Dropbox, or setting up some ssh accounts somewhere and using Reddrive or equivalent to mount users' filespace as a virtual disk, or simply providing each student with their own USB key (of course, they could conveniently lose this and say someone stole it, but there's only so much you can do... you could enforce rules on how they take care of their keys, maybe not leaving the school with them). Hacking some kind of protection scheme into Mnemosyne is not the appropriate way to go IMO.
