Hi,

(copying the list back in)

‘optimise_Q_A_split = False’ will indeed remove these warnings. It disables the 
workaround we are currently using to estimate the height of images for 
automatically allocating the best use of screen real estate to Q or A.

Too bad the disappearance of your speed issues did not seem to coincide with 
changing this setting. BTW, the speed issues had nothing to do with a slight 
flicker when Mnemosyne is rescaling the size of the Q and A fields? Let me know 
if you see a pattern later.

With respect to the latex problems, did the contents of the latex directory 
make it safely across to your phone? Otherwise, the problem is most likely that 
you changed config.py for e.g. a custom latex preamble and did not copy over 
that file to your phone.

Cheers,

Peter

Thanks for following up! I'll try to answer. Since I mostly do my reviews on 
the android app these days, the speed hasn't really been a worry.

That's a bit strange.... I noticed that qtwebengine is a bit slower than the 
previous qtwebkit, but it typically renders in < 0.5 sec on my machine.

And if the problem was with qtwebkit, I guess the problem would be the same on 
all cards, not just some...

Does that file actually exist or is Mnemosyne getting it from somewhere else?

The file exists - but only with an extra slash in front.  It is printed without 
the leading slash, like this

Missing path home/me/mnemosyne/default.db_media/maps/1018_Sogne.gif

(don't know why I added the slash in the previous email)

What happens if you add

optimise_Q_A_split = False

to your config.py? Does that impact the speed issues?

No - but maybe it removed the missing path messages. Haven't seen any after 
adding the line. Does that make sense?

After I changed the config.py I experienced the slowness on quite a few cards, 
but right now I am unable to recreate it. All the cards are super fast. Even 
after restarting mnemosyne..  Not sure I understand much of this - sorry...

I'll try to do some more reviews on my computer for a few days, and see if I 
see a pattern..

On your Ubuntu server, the best way to check if the latex images are being 
generated is to delete the contents of default.db_media/_latex and then do the 
initial sync again. This should result in the png files being created in that 
directory. The directory will also contain the latex log files, which perhaps 
contain useful info.

I deleted the database on my phone and all the latex images were recomputed. 
But  i still get the message "Problem with latex. Are latex and dvipng 
installed" on my phone.

It is perhaps worth noting that I have some other problems with mnemosyne on my 
phone as well - don't know if this is connected. It starts normally, but after 
closing it the first time, I have to start it twice in order to get the app 
started, since it crashes the first time. It's always been like that, and it 
continues with the latest version (1.1).

And again, thank you for your work on mnemosyne. I've been using it since 2008, 
and it's wonderful that  somebody is still developing and improving it.  :-)

Best regards.
