Hello Peter, Thank you for the reply. In my case, I have everything working on my old portable version, so I fall into the category of: * if not, e.g. if your 1.x data is only on the USB key, you need to select 'File - Import' to convert to 2.x
After installing a fresh version of 2.1, I don't get the option to convert. I only get 4 options: Mnemosyne 1.x *.mem files Mnemosyne 1.x *.XML files Mnemosyne 2.x *.cards files Tab-separated text files In my tests, I exported XML files successfully from 1.x and imported int 2.x file, however, the images didn't come over. Where is the convert to 2.x option? My process was: Export .XML files from 1.x Install 2.1 on my laptop. Copy my folders with my images to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mnemosyne Import .XML files into 2.1 using Mnemosyne 1.x *.XML files I was prompted with: This XML file contains learning data. It's best to import this from a mem file, in order to preserve historical statistics. Continue? I clicked Yes. That is where I got an error message: Uncaught exeption! Traceback (innermost last): and lots of file *.pyo line XX errors. The next window hangs at 4% importing cards. So I just cancel out and can't import any of my lists with images. I don't understand the converting to 2.x part from my USB data.
