Yes, when there is a image present, the ratio goes from 1/1 to 2/1. I could 
easily change this to go a 10/1 ratio, which would look good for your cards, 
but not on cards where 2/1 is a better fit...

Getting this right for all situations seem much trickier than I originally 
anticipated, because the widgets are now full html widgets intended for 
scrolling, as opposed to plain labels.

I'll explore some more options to see if I can improve this.

I just noticed that too :-) I did not implement any of this, you get it for 
free if you use the html widget.

Full screen for a single image is probably not such a good idea, as it would 
not be good in case a card has more than 1 image. However, a keyboard shortcut 
to maximise the entire window/dialog makes a lot of sense. I'll add this to my 
todo list.

For the directory where you ran make, just do

./bin/mnemosyne -d dot_mnemosyne2

Substitute paths as approriate if you run this from another directory.

Yes, the trunk is constantly updated, so you'll something that is even more 
recent than the most recent beta.

Thanks for the feedback!
