I'm a programmer by trade (and an older one at that) and as such grew up with tools that allow many and varied ways of text manipulation, and am also a reasonably proficient touch-typist. It's easier, and almost always faster for me to gather the data I need for cards, then use text editors, stream editors, shell and/or python/perl/ruby scripts to manipulate that data into one of the importable formats Mnemosyne uses. When entering more than a couple cards, doing so through the application would be far slower for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
