Hi Peter, A lot of Mnemosyne users (at least the ones who respond in this forum) are tech-literate. They write Python scripts, are smart, etc.
I can only speak for the mundanes, i.e. the non-tech-literate users :-) The current Mnemosyne entry dialog box is fine. I actually do the opposite of what someone mentioned above. I have a .txt list of Chinese vocab I periodically add to as I encounter new words. Then, when the list gets long enough, I open Mnemosyne and add the vocab directly, one by one. Didn't know about the entry shortcuts. Didn't think to tile my Mnemosyne and Notepad windows together. I suppose if I knew that, that would save some time. Maybe put that information into a Did You Know tip on startup? --murrayjames 2011/3/7 Peter Bienstman <[email protected]> > On Saturday, March 05, 2011 01:25:55 pm normunds wrote: > > > One of the projects for the GSoC is to write an import wizard for txt > > > formats, so that you can choose which column maps onto which field.
