Hi Kevin,

You can't import from the backup files directly, but only from the true database (*.mem files).

I'm not sure if you still have an active *.mem database in Mnemosyne, or only the backups. If you only have a backup, uncompress it, and there should be an xml file inside it. In 1.x, import that xml file in your database.

Then, the upgrade to 2.0 should detect everything automatically.

BTW, in 2.0 backups are in the same format as in the original database, so that confusion will go away.

Hi Peter,

This is what I did:
1) Installed a fresh copy of 1.2.2. By default, the ".mnemosyne" folder is
located in your User folder (where you will also find "Downloads",
"Appdata", "My Pictures" etc.)
2) I then replace the files in the ".mnemosyne" folder from a backup
.mnemosyne folder to restore my cards and configurations. (No problems so
far)
3) I try to install mnemosyne 2.0. After installation, I get an error
message box that says:
-------------------------------------------------------
Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mnemosyne\mnenosyne.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
-------------------------------------------------------
4) I click the "OK" button on the box. Nothing happens.
5) I tried an alternate method where I complete uninstall version 1.2.2 and
re-install version 2.0.  I tried to do the "import" of the 'Mnemosyne 1.x
mem files' but the program doesn't recognize the files (in other words,
there is nothing to choose in the folder where the version 1.2.2 files are
located....just a total blank!)

I'm not sure if this is important to know (I think so) but here are some
differences between versions 1.2.2 and 2.0 that I noticed:
a) when you install version 2.0, a "matplotlib" folder is created in your
User folder
- also, the backup folder for version 2.0 is located in User --> AppData
--> Roaming ---> "Mnemosyne"
(you will only see this if you un-install version 1.2.2 first before
installing version 2.0 because if you install version 2.0 on top of version
1.2.2 then the Mnemosyne folder doesn't exist in the Roaming sub-folder)
b) the backup files for version 2.0 seem to be "db" format while the format
for version 1.2.2 are "bz2" files

I am hoping I am not the only one having these problems.

More information about my system:
Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit
8 gig ram
intel i-3450

Thank you for your help Peter and this is an amazing program! I really wish
I can use the newest version though!

Thanks again,
Kevin

Hi,

Normally it should have upgraded the files automatically if they are
in a standard location.

Otherwise, just do 'file' 'import' 'Mnemosyne 1.x mem files' and pick
the location of your mem file.
