Gnome, I am begging for help again. I tried following your advice as well as I could to get everything in decent order for using Mnemosyne version 2.2.1. Most tagged groups of cards are working well, but I am not able to get graphical images to appear---all I get is a question mark surrounded by a small blue box where I want to see an image. Much of the work that I did before involved learning the names of countries and states from an outline map, and I want to continue reviewing this information with Mnemosyne.
I have backups of the data that I was using from v1.x; everything works except for those categories (now "tags") that use images. My old data, including graphic images, is now in the following v2.x location: C:\Users\Jack Thro\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne To keep things simple while focusing on the problem, I have isolated just two "map-type" cards out of the large pile and given them the tag "Africatest" and tried to work with them. These two cards are for Algeria and Lesotho. Both have "Recognition" and "Production" versions, giving a total of four cards with the "Africatest" tag. For example, when the system shows me the word "Algeria" and a question mark (probably for the map of Africa with the country Algeria painted in red), I click the "Show answer" bar and then get the word "Algeria" above a larger rectangle with the same small question mark in the center. I next press "Ctrl+E" to edit this card. The "Edit card" display then pops up. The "Blank map" box in the "Edit card" display shows: <img src="Africa_22_.png"> (The map that I want to display is labeled simply "Africa.png" However, every time I try to improve the situation, I get the above line with a number surrounded by underbars, like the _22_ above, and the number is increased by one every time I try it.) Apparently I have tried to edit this card 22 times by now, but still no luck! I edit that box to show the path to the Windows folder where the map file is located and the correct name of the file, so that it now reads as follows: <img src="C:\Users\Jack Thro\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne\maps\AfricaCountries\Africa.png"> When I next click the "Preview" box on the "Edit card" display, I see on the "Preview cards" display only the rectangles surrounding the same question mark for both "Question" and "Answer." However, when I click the "Next sister card" box on the "Edit card" display, I see the map of Africa correctly displayed with the word "Algeria" above it as the Question. Aha, I think, this is at least some progress, so I want to save the editing that I have done. I click the "OK" box on the "Preview cards" display to return to the "Edit card" display, which is just as I have changed it. Now I click the "OK" box on the "Edit card" display to return to the flash cards, but the results are just as before. To see what the data on my cards looks like now, I click "Ctrl+B" to browse the cards with an "Africatest" flag and find that the results of my editing have not been saved. The results are the same when I try editing the "Marked map" as well as, or instead of, the "Blank map" fields on the "Edit card" display. How can I get the cards to retain my editing when I have pointed them to the proper image file to be displayed? And is there a simpler way to do the editing and point to the proper folder that holds the images for a group of cards, e.g., all cards with the same tag, or do I have to edit the "Question" and "Answer" fields for each card individually. I am willing to edit each card one-by-one if that is the only way, but I want my editing work to be saved with the other data on the cards. I hope that you can help me with this problem. I am holding my breath waiting for your kind answer.
