Re: [mnemosyne-proj-users] Seem to have lost cards and performance history

[George Wade]

Do you know the File Name of the deck(s) of cards?

Searching with Spotlight will probably not find it, But EasyFind will:  www.devontechnologies.com/products/freeware.html  

Or

App Store  Search EasyFind ==>  free

You may just need to put all the files together in the same folder.  I'm not sure of a complete list of files until my Mac PB is ready in half an hour.

Just upgraded from 1.2.2 on OSX Mountain Lion to the latest and it doesn't have any of my cards. Where could I look to import them from on my computer? I have years of performance info and many thousands of cards that I created myself.

I took the latest backup from the 1.2.1 Mnemosyne folder which I had hidden while updating to V 2.x. That backup I placed in the User/Library/Mnemosyne/Backup folder.

The 1.x data should still be stored in user/library/mnemosyne1.

My library has no Mnemosyne file, which I cannot understand. I hit "replace" when installing the new version, but replacing the old application should not get rid of the support files. Also, I never consciously named any of the files when I created mnemosyne decks, other than putting a heading for each book cards came from.

If you gave them custom names and/or custom locations, Mnemosyne will
not be able to find them automatically. Using the technique George
described, look for all the *.db files in your file system, and then
import these manually in 2.x using 'file - import'.

Good luck!

I didn't name the files in any way other than filling in the little header at the top of each card, and I did not consciously save them anyplace unusual. I just clicked the icon to add new cards and the icon to stop adding new cards when I was done.

My USER library has no file named Mnemosyne either, it is a folder.

My Applications Folder has a file named Mnemosyne 2.0.1 (- test 2 Mac)

It can be time consuming searching libraries for a Mnemosyne Folder by Finder and by eye.  Any good search app should find it:  not Spotlight, that is for general search purposes.  Search  *.db  as Peter suggests —  or for a named file like config.py  or  MyLostCardz.xml   – you may have to be inspired for success — I have to specify:

Search

Only Files   (When a file name, or part, is remembered)

Only Folders  (This One)

Files & Folders

File contents

Operator

Unix Wildcards  (And Wildcards)
