Your comment regarding file deletion is interesting. Sometimes I
delete a card when I'm reviewing (it it's a poor image for example
and I consider it of limited value), in the knowledge that I have
'orphaned' the image file and will need to tidy up later. It would
actually suit me for the image file to be deleted too, but it's no
great hardship.
We could have a plugin or external script to scan the media
directories for images which are unreferenced in the deck files and
either delete them or move them to an "orphans" folder which can be
cleared at your leisure?
That would be good. Although I have a rather unusual back-to-front
method that works not too badly. I go into my image folders
occassionally and browse the images. Any that I don't like I delete.
Then, 'some time later' during one of my mnemosyne reviews I get the
tell-tale black square in a question indicating that the image cannot be
found. When that happens I delete the card. Off course it could take
months for the poor unwanted card to show up!
All my images are currently resized to a lower resolution but I
might change this depending on how I find mnemosyne2's handling of
higher-res images.
Ditto - I put together a couple of scripts when building a picture
dictionary spelling deck for my daughter, using curl to download and
netpbm to convert/rescale:
pngtopnm $1.png | pamscale -xyfit 300 300 -verbose| pnmtojpeg > $1.jpg
...And an Applescript macro-type script to insert new cards with the
right img tags.
I use f-spot for storing my images because it has a very elegant
hierarchical tag structure that works well with botanical nomenclature.
It also crashes an awful lot but you can't have everything and I've yet
to find another Linux based photo management package that has a nested
hierarchical tag structure.
