Unfortunately, Peter, it doesn't. I suppose I should have specified more. I have a different database for each language, as I find I'm much more organized and disciplined that way. If I want to use the same picture for French and German, then, the same file is copied twice, once to the french.db_media and once to german.db_media. I'd rather not switch just to using one database for it all, as these files need to be passed around, and we don't want one person's files to ruin another's. Not to mention, other people I'm working with are using different languages entirely, and don't necessarily need the French files, while I don't need their Italian files, and so on.
Separate databases have separate media directories, sorry... As mentioned explicitly in the program and the documentation, it's really recommended to have a single database.
If you want to study just one language, you can do so via 'Activate cards' and create a saved set 'French'.
If you want to share only your French cards with your friends, make sure that only your French saved set is active, then choose "Export" "Mnemosyne 2.x cards format". That will also automatically bundle all the French media files in the *.cards file, without you having to do anything special.
(BTW, sending french.db to your friend was not a good idea in the first place, as then your friend would start from your learning history...)
I guess what I'm really asking for is the ability to subfolder media files, so that I can, say, have one folder with all images, one folder with all French sounds, one folder with all German sounds, Spanish, Irish, etc, instead of having the same set of pictures copied to each folder.
You can certainly create subfolders in the media directory of each database as I explained in my previous mail, but one database cannot 'see' the media files in the media folder of another database.
