Hi, If your text file contains a line with three columns (e.g. from Mnemosyne's 1.x three-sided cards), Mnemosyne will automatically treat that as data for a Vocabulary CARDTYPE and will create two SISTER CARDS from that data, one dealing with recognition, and the other with production. If you come from Anki, you're probably familiar with the fact that data from a single 'fact' is used to create multiple 'linked cards', so the principle is exactly the same.
If you don't want e.g. recognition cards, you can indeed convert them to Front-to-back only cards (which will delete the recognition card and keep the production card), but another option is 'activate cards' and then simply deactivate the recognition cards. As for cntrl-a not selecting all cards in the browser, this is a unfortunate side effect/bug of the UI library I use: to speed up display, not all the cards are loaded into the browser at once, but progressively once you scroll down. Cntrl-a selects only the cards that the library had already loaded. Hope this clarifies things. Thanks for the feedback, and if you have suggestions on how to improve the documentation, feel free!
