Fatal error

[Roel De Coninck]

Hi all,

I'm having a small problem :-(

When I start Mnemosyne (beta 5), I get an error message and the only thing I can do is click it away which closes Mnemosyne. 

See printscreen in attach. 

I tried out the latex features yesterday and I also have some pictures in my collection.  Maybe something wrong there?  

I shut down the pogram as normally and after that put my pc (windows 7, 64 bit) in sleep mode.  

I also restarted completely, same error. 

I hope this can be solved easily?  Would it make sense to reinstall completely?

Thanks for your suggestions,

roel

Hi,

This is the bug which was reported on the tip dialog. As a workaround before I
fix it, can you try disabling the tip of the day at startup?

Oh, BTW, if you can't get to the tip dialog to shut it down, go to C:
\Users\Roel\Application Data\Mnemosyne\config and delete that file.

This will lose some configuration settings, but it will reset the tip of the
day counter, so that you can turn off the dialog until I fix it.

Cheers,

Peter

ok, I managed to get it running.  Just a few remarks:

- I'm confused by the occurrence of 2 config files.  One here: C:\Users\my_username\.mnemosyne\config and one here C:\Users\my_username\AppData\Roaming\mnemosyne\config

Removing the first didn't solve anything, removing the second made the program start again. 

BTW: the config.py files in these dirs are different (the second one has much more options).  

I personally found the first location to be more logical and i also stored my pictures in a submap there.  Is this correct? 

For the record and use for other users:

At first I thought I lost some data: both cards and repetitions. It would mean some hours work to get back to where I was. 

Than I found a .db file from the day before the crash here: C:\Users\my_username\AppData\Roaming\mnemosyne\backups  

I replaced the default.db in this folder C:\Users\my_username\AppData\Roaming\mnemosyne by the one from ...\backups and ... everything was back as it should be: excellent!

So thanks for this excellent backup feature!

That's a 1.x file

> C:\Users\my_username\AppData\Roaming\mnemosyne\config

And that's a 2.0 file :-). BTW, it's the location Windows recommends.
(The 1.x location was more inspired by Linux)
