Hello Peter, I have no idea how to import from a .mem file. In addition, I've never seen an option to export .mem files either.
I will email some of the files with the associated pictures. The structure I've used in 1.x is to have all my images in a My Images folder, inside of My Lists. Basically, .mnemosyne > My Lists > My Images > image.jpg etc. I will .zip up the files email them to you privately as requested.
