Automatically importing cards daily

[szymon]

Hi everyone!

I use Mnemosyne 2. I would like to add 10 cards from a txt file to my base daily and assign a tag to them. "Autoimport".

Is it possible to write a similar script/plugin in Python or PHP?

[Timothy Bourke]

Yes. But why would you want to?

Why not just import/create them straight away? I often add hundreds of
new cards that stay unreviewed for months, while I only learn 10-20
new cards a day.

What Tim said :-)

But if you really want to import from a python script, the code would
look something like this:

from mnemosyne.script import Mnemosyne

# 'data_dir = None' will use the default system location, edit as
appropriate.
data_dir = None
mnemosyne = Mnemosyne(data_dir)

for format in self.mnemosyne.component_manager.all("file_format"):
if format.__class__.__name__ == "Mnemosyne2Cards":
format.do_import(filename)

mnemosyne.finalise()

I'm a bit lazy :) so it would simply help me with learning. It's easier to learn if you realize that "oh, I have only ten cards to memorize, not ten thousand", and keeps my progress consistent.

Thank you, I'll ponder on your solution, although I'm not into python :)

In that case, you might want to vote for the 'goals' plugin in our
uservoice forum :-)

I've already voted on that and even added a comment ;)

I have an enormous deck that I've imported; something like 1000+ cards
to learn. But, it's on my own time, so I just imported them all, and
do my daily mnemosyne routine by just stopping when Mnemosyne says
"You've learned 15 new cards...." dialog, *OR* I hit a time limit
(which I use a simple kitchen timer at my desk for). Whichever comes
first, I'm done for the day. That seems to "normalize" my work to the
point that I'm not overwhelmed on any given day. I know I'll
eventually get through them.

Good tip Michael, and I currently adhere to it.  But you couldn't customize the schedule, and set the limit to 10 cards for given cards category and 5 for another (I know I'm grumbling) ;)

I'm actually not worried about micro-managing the system; that's kind
of what the algorithm is for. Some days will have a lot of cards,
others not so many. All I'm looking to do is put an upper limit on
how much time I spend on it daily, so it doesn't feel like a chore.

But, everyone has their own needs and limits, so what works for me
might not for anyone else. It'd be an awful world if everyone were
just like me!
