Thanks for the quick reply Peter. Luckily it seems the most recent backup was completely up to date and I haven't lost any review time.
I checked when the backup file was created and it was at 02:16:30 so about 10 seconds before everything was wiped. I don't know if that's a coincidence and I'm just very lucky or whether the timing had something to do with the database being wiped. Has anyone else had this problem before? A blank memosyne with 0 cards listed and no categories available is a scary sight! Anyway, looking forward to 2.0! :D On Jul 21, 5:49 am, Peter Bienstman <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm afraid you'll have to reimport the latest backup file... > > Mnemosyne 2.0 uses an sqlite database, which should be more robust against > errors like this... > > Peter > > > > > In Ubuntu started to logout of my user session with Mnemosyne still > > open.
