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.
Thank you,
Jack Thro

Gnome,
Thank you for your help!
After sleeping on the problem, this morning I tried
right-clicking on the Mnemosyne icon on my desktop and choosing
the "Troubleshoot compatibility" option on the pull-down menu.
This alone sorted out most of the problem for me, and I'm now
running on v2.2.1. Thanks again!

Normally the 1.x files should be imported to 2.x the
first time mnemosyne stats.
This should work:
1. Make sure you have a backed up copy of the 1.x data.
2. Make sure the 1.x data is in it's orginal location
(where mnemosyne 1.x accessed it)
3. Delete your database in the mnemosyne 2.x folder,
it's normally located here:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne
make sure you delete 'default.db_media', 'default.db'
and 'default.db-journal'
and the corresponding files to the database if you
created a new database (by default it's named default.db)
4. Start mnemosyne hope that it will import the 1.x files
Good luck!

I have been using a Version 1.xxx of Mnemosyne
almost daily for more than a year and loved it.
Today I noticed that a newer version was available
and decided it was time to upgrade. AArrrrggghhh!
I am running Windows System 7.
Next I uninstalled the previous version of
Mnemosyne. Sad to say goodbye -- it was working so well!
Then I downloaded mnemosyne-2.1.1-setup.exe
and executed the installation.
The program opened successfully the first time, but
it wasn't accessing my database.
I added one simple card and tried the "Save As"
command, to see where the program would be looking
for data. It pointed me to:
C: Computer\Local Disk (C:)\Users\Jack Thro\mnemosyne
I exited the program, then moved all of my backup
data into the above folder and tried to re-start the
program.
At first I received many "unexpected error" warning
messages, all pointing to plugins in my old
database. I removed all of the plugin filess and
then tried again to re-start the program. Since
then, I continue to get only one "unexpected error"
message, as follows:
An unexpected error has occurred.
Please forward the following info to the developers:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "mnemosyne", line 155, in <module>
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\__init__.pyo", line
179, in initialise

File "os.pyo", line 150, in makedirs
File "os.pyo", line 157, in makedirs
WindowsError:[Error5]Access is denied:u'backups'
End of error message.
Please give me some suggestions on what to do. I'm
quite willing to go back to a Version 1.xxx of the
software if that is the only way.
Thanks!
