Hi,

I think I know now what caused my missing media file error (and various other 
problems, e.g. unintended, automatic change to back > front).
It seems to be based on my specific set-up. Usually I start Mnemosyne from my 
Dropbox folder. But sometimes I make a 1:1 copy to a USB key. (At work, I'm not 
allowed to install any programs on my workstation). Because I don't want to 
loose my progress I then copy my mnemosyne folder back to Dropbox.
I thougt there would be no problem doing it this way. But I found out I get all 
sorts of errors (e.g. Mnemosyne does start from USB key totally blank without 
displaying any cards, so one has to start mnemosyne from default.db, not as 
usually directly using the .exe file)
Altough, I'm pretty sure that my specific set-up caused my problems, I still 
have no explanation why it shouldn't work this way (Dropbox folder > Copy to 
USB-Key > Dropbox folder). Peter? Anyone?
