To import from 1.x you can actually both import directly from the
original mem file, or export first to xml and import that, as you did,
but that option is more time-consuming, and does not import your
historical data.
Could you privately mail me your xml file, so that I can see what the
issues are?
In any case, I recommend simply to import from mem files.
Cheers,

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.

Hi,
Here's what I suggest you do:
* first, only use the Mnemosyne2 version installed on your laptop, not
on your USB key
* If you have Mnemosyne1 databases installed on your laptop in the
default location, they will be automatically upgraded to the new
format,
including the media files
* 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
* Now that everything is up and running on your local hard drive, you
can copy C:\Users\Troy\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne to your USB drive (I
will update the instructions to talk about hidden files and alternative
possible paths)
* There is no longer a need to edit config.py to change the interface
language, this can now be done through the GUI.
Good luck!
