Mnemosyne 2.2.1 : 2013-04-15

(Note that for Windows users we recommend uninstalling the previous
version before installing the new one.)

-The premade cards from the old 1.x website have now all been converted
to the
new 2.x cards format and put on the new website. This will make importing
much easier, as graphics are bundled (thanks to Patrick Kenny for the
conversion).
-For txt import, a text file can now contain a fourth column which will be
mapped to the 'notes' field of a Vocabulary card.
-When editing or browsing cards, don't reset the state of the scheduler such
that you need to press 'show answer' again or such that a new card appears
(reported by Gnome).
-Remember which tags where expanded/collapsed in the tag tree (requested a.o
by Troy Guze).
-Correctly update flag 'hide pronunciation' in the popup menu (reported by
Tom Cato Amundsen).
-When merging duplicate cards, merge tags also (requested by Stephan
Maseizik).
-Fix regression where all the dialogs would have generic names ('mnemosyne')
as opposed to e.g. 'Add cards'.
-Correctly format clozes in latex, e.g. [Lorentz force law]
<$>[\mathbf{F}]=[q]([\mathbf{E}]+[\mathbf{v}\times\mathbf{B}]</$>
()requested by acdenh). If you want literal [] in latex, use \left[
and \right].
-Fix crash when converting multiple cards at the same time between e.g.
Vocabulary card type and Map card type (reported by Gnome).
-No longer allow mass converting of cards to Cloze card types, as this
requires editing of the card content for each card anyhow (reported by
Scott
Youngman).
-Fix browser crash occuring after deleting a card type which had custom
formatting (reported by Tom Zerlau).
-Unless the 'Prefill tag behaviour' plugin is active, changing card
types will
never change the tag you already filled in, even if it's different
from the
last used tag (reported by Gnome).
-When changing the font for '<all card types>', make a more neutral choice
for default font in case currently different card types have different
fonts (reported by Gnome).
-Make sync and sync error handling more robust.
-In case you don't explicitly select a background colour, use your theme's
background colour as opposed to white for empty cards (reported by
ialectum).
-The quote key to left of 1 (`) can now also be used as a short cut for
grade 0
(requested by Kent Stearman).
-In the card browser, CTRL+F can be used to focus the input on the search
field (requested by abacus).
-Improve the position of dialogs popping up from the card browser,
sync window, ... .
-Fix crash pressing the 'Delete' key in the 'Activate cards' dialog
(reported
by Gnome).
-When changing card types, only warn about losing history when there is
actual
history present (reported by Gnome).
-In case you are not using saved sets and create a new tag whose parent is
inactive, make the new tag inactive too. (If you have a saved set active,
you'll get a dialog box asking whether you want to activate that tag
or not,
just like before) (reported by Gnome).
-Fix bug in interaction between Latex system and exporting to the 'cards'
format (reported by Gwern).
-More tweaks for RTL languages like Arabic and Hebrew (bug report by
Ansgar Bohmann).
-No more superfluous empty lines for cards with RTL languages.
-When changing languagues, translate the window title immediately, instead
of after reboot.
-On a Thai system, don't use Thai numerals in the card browser if the
language
is set to English (requested by Mark).
-Take time zone information into account when displaying creation date of
card in browser.
-When renaming a saved set, prefill the name field with the previous name of
the set.
-Don't reset selected plugin when importing a new plugin (reported by
Gnome).
-When trying to deactivate a card type in use, show name of the card type in
the error message.
-Fix CTRL+F shortcut for inserting flash, CTRL+D for inserting video, and
CTRL+C for copying (reported by Gnome).
-Tab key now cycles through all the grade buttons (reported by Gnome).
-Fix grading shortcuts R and W for 'right' and 'wrong' in the cramming
scheduler.
-Backspace and delete shortcuts to delete the current card work again
(reported by Dylan Gordhan).

In case you downloaded the Mac version, you might want to try again,
as there has been a small confusion in version numbers.

Cheers,

I have been using a Version 1.xxx of Mnemosyne almost daily for more than a year and loved it. Today I noticed that a newer version was available and decided it was time to upgrade. AArrrrggghhh!

I am running Windows System 7.
Next I uninstalled the previous version of Mnemosyne. Sad to say goodbye -- it was working so well!

Then I downloaded mnemosyne-2.1.1-setup.exe
and executed the installation.

The program opened successfully the first time, but it wasn't accessing my database.

I added one simple card and tried the "Save As" command, to see where the program would be looking for data. It pointed me to:
C: Computer\Local Disk (C:)\Users\Jack Thro\mnemosyne

I exited the program, then moved all of my backup data into the above folder and tried to re-start the program.

At first I received many "unexpected error" warning messages, all pointing to plugins in my old database. I removed all of the plugin filess and then tried again to re-start the program. Since then, I continue to get only one "unexpected error" message, as follows:

An unexpected error has occurred.
Please forward the following info to the developers:

Traceback (innermost last):
File "mnemosyne", line 155, in <module>
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\__init__.pyo", line 179, in initialise
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\__init__.pyo", line 295, in load_database
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\databases\SQLite.pyo", line 351, in load
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\databases\SQLite_media.pyo", line 39, in create_media_dir_if_needed
File "os.pyo", line 150, in makedirs
File "os.pyo", line 157, in makedirs
WindowsError:[Error5]Access is denied:u'backups'

End of error message.

Please give me some suggestions on what to do. I'm quite willing to go back to a Version 1.xxx of the software if that is the only way.
Thanks!

Normally the 1.x files should be imported to 2.x the first time mnemosyne stats.

This should work:
1. Make sure you have a backed up copy of the 1.x data.
2. Make sure the 1.x data is in it's orginal location (where mnemosyne 1.x accessed it)
3. Delete your database in the mnemosyne 2.x folder, it's normally located here:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne
make sure you delete 'default.db_media', 'default.db' and 'default.db-journal'
and the corresponding files to the database if you created a new database (by default it's named default.db)
4. Start mnemosyne hope that it will import the 1.x files

Good luck!

Gnome,

Thank you for your help!
After sleeping on the problem, this morning I tried right-clicking on the Mnemosyne icon on my desktop and choosing the "Troubleshoot compatibility" option on the pull-down menu. This alone sorted out most of the problem for me, and I'm now running on v2.2.1. Thanks again!

Gnome,

I am begging for help again. I tried following your advice as well as I could to get everything in decent order for using Mnemosyne version 2.2.1. Most tagged groups of cards are working well, but I am not able to get graphical images to appear---all I get is a question mark surrounded by a small blue box where I want to see an image. Much of the work that I did before involved learning the names of countries and states from an outline map, and I want to continue reviewing this information with Mnemosyne.

I have backups of the data that I was using from v1.x; everything works except for those categories (now "tags") that use images. My old data, including graphic images, is now in the following v2.x location:
C:\Users\Jack Thro\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne

To keep things simple while focusing on the problem, I have isolated just two "map-type" cards out of the large pile and given them the tag "Africatest" and tried to work with them. These two cards are for Algeria and Lesotho. Both have "Recognition" and "Production" versions, giving a total of four cards with the "Africatest" tag.

For example, when the system shows me the word "Algeria" and a question mark (probably for the map of Africa with the country Algeria painted in red),
I click the "Show answer" bar and then get the word "Algeria" above a larger rectangle with the same small question mark in the center. I next press "Ctrl+E" to edit this card. 

The "Edit card" display then pops up. The "Blank map" box in the "Edit card" display shows:
<img src="Africa_22_.png">
(The map that I want to display is labeled simply "Africa.png" However, every time I try to improve the situation, I get the above line with a number surrounded by underbars, like the _22_ above, and the number is increased by one every time I try it.) Apparently I have tried to edit this card 22 times by now, but still no luck!

I edit that box to show the path to the Windows folder where the map file is located and the correct name of the file, so that it now reads as follows:
<img src="C:\Users\Jack Thro\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne\maps\AfricaCountries\Africa.png">

When I next click the "Preview" box on the "Edit card" display, I see on the "Preview cards" display only the rectangles surrounding the same question mark for both "Question" and "Answer." However, when I click the "Next sister card" box on the "Edit card" display, I see the map of Africa correctly displayed with the word "Algeria" above it as the Question. Aha, I think, this is at least some progress, so I want to save the editing that I have done. I click the "OK" box on the "Preview cards" display to return to the "Edit card" display, which is just as I have changed it. Now I click the "OK" box on the "Edit card" display to return to the flash cards, but the results are just as before.

To see what the data on my cards looks like now, I click "Ctrl+B" to browse the cards with an "Africatest" flag and find that the results of my editing have not been saved. The results are the same when I try editing the "Marked map" as well as, or instead of, the "Blank map" fields on the "Edit card" display.

How can I get the cards to retain my editing when I have pointed them to the proper image file to be displayed? And is there a simpler way to do the editing and point to the proper folder that holds the images for a group of cards, e.g., all cards with the same tag, or do I have to edit the "Question" and "Answer" fields for each card individually. I am willing to edit each card one-by-one if that is the only way, but I want my editing work to be saved with the other data on the cards.

I hope that you can help me with this problem. I am holding my breath waiting for your kind answer.

Thank you,

Jack Thro

Hi,

Instead of putting your media in

C:\Users\Jack
Thro\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne\maps\AfricaCountries\Africa.png"

Put them in

C:\Users\Jack
Thro\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne\default.db_media\maps\AfricaCountries\Africa.png"

Then, edit your card so that it readsreads:

<img src="maps\AfricaCountries\Africa.png">

That should work.

Not sure what you meant by the editing not being saved, but perhaps it's
worth pointing out that in the card browser list, images are never
displayed.

Hope this helps,

Peter

Hello, Peter,

Thanks for your prompt response. Unfortunately this did not work either. 

Fortunately, the editing changes in the card that I make to the path specifying where to find the file with the map data are being saved now and re-appear when I browse the tagged group (not the image itself, of course, just the path pointing to the image file after I have changed the path by editing).

I put all the image files for this tagged group into the following folder, as you suggested:

C:\Users\Jack Thro\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne\default.db_media\maps\AfricaCountries

Africa.png, as well as Africa_Lesotho.png and Africa_Algerien.png and many others, are image files within this folder.

Then I tried editing the card so that it reads, for example:

<img src="maps\AfricaCountries\Africa.png">

However, I was not able to display the image with this path, either with the "Preview" button in the "Edit card" display or after closing the editing and going back to the usual card display inside Mnemosyne. Checking back with the "Browse cards" command showed that the edits were properly saved, showing the paths to the files as you suggested. 

However, I should point out that although I used what I call the "backslash" character ("\") as you suggested to show sub-folders within folders, the saved path used what I call the "forward slash" character ("/") in its place. 

I should also point out that when I open the Mnemosyne application, the name of the database displayed at the top left (above the "File -- Cards -- Settings -- Help" line) is shown as follows:
Mnemosyne - __TMP__

Inside the directory of my 
"C:\Users\Jack Thro\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne" folder,
there are three files of type "MEM File" as follows:

_tmp_.mem                        10/3/2011 11:02PM              1KB
default.mem                        7/22/2013  4:18PM      3,826 KB
and a file for study of Japanese kanji radicals, named
漢字の部首10.11.29.mem    4/14/2012 9/27PM      2,866 KB

It seems that when I open the Mnemosyne application, the _tmp_.mem file is being used as the database (not by my choice!) Would it perhaps help if I could somehow change the database file to the default.mem file instead? I don't know how to do that.

Thanks again!

Jack Thro

Hi,

Each database has it's own media directory, so that explains it.

_tmp_.mem is a temporary db that gets opened when for some reason the
default database cannot be opened.

So, go to file - open, and pick default.db (that one seems to be larger
in size, so it's probably the one you want anyway).

Then, it'll pick up files from C:\Users\Jack
Thro\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne\default.db_media

(Not sure where the ___ in AppData\Roaming\__Mnemosyne comes from,
perhaps the mail server added those.)

Cheers,

Peter

hello, i recently started learning chinese using mnemosyne switched over to 2.2.1 about a month ago. everything was fine until this monrning when i got the same error message that Jack Thro got. unfortunately im to ignorant to even know what the 1.x and 2.x files look like, and am unwilling to start deleting data i am unsure about being able to get back. please be more clear as to where to find this. i really like using this to learn and it would be regretable if i had to switch and lose all the cards ive spent so much time making!

thanks, james

Hi,

Try deleting your config file, which is in a location like

C:\users\cpain23132\Application Data\Roaming\Mnemosyne\config

This is typically a hidden directory, so you might need to configure
your explorer to show hidden files.

If you still get an error, post it exactly (or post a screenshot).

Good luck!

Peter

Are you sure you have write access to that directory? To rule out the possibility of a corrupt database, feel free to mail it to me privately.

Cheers,

Peter

Right click on the file in windows explorer and see if 'Read only' is checked. If it is, uncheck it and click OK.
Try if that helps, then post back to us.

Hi peter,

Was using Mnemosyne 2.2.1 perfectly on my laptop with a windows 8 operation system. for a week now i have not been able to access it. its keeps showing me the dialog:
Traecback (innermost last)
file "mnemosyne\libmnenosyne\configuration.pyo" line 186, in load EOFError.

What could be the problem. i have tried uninstalling and installing a new one all to no avail. kindly help out.

thank you.

Tina

Hi,

Simply remove your config file, typically in a hidden directory like
C:\users\time\Application Data\roaming\Mnemosyne\config

Good luck!

Peter (Bienstman) is working on an official Mnemosyne client, whose
source code is freely available:
https://plus.google.com/112456861177827156549/posts/QNC9bpSqwAc

The source code of the Mnemododo client is also freely available:
https://launchpad.net/mnemododo

The version of Mnemododo available through Google play is the price of
a (good) beer:

Can you add an option to remove the annoying tip feature from pressing the Edit current card button?

Don't worry, after you've seen them all (a handful of them) they don't come back. I think they are important to point out some things people otherwise miss, so I plan on keeping this feature.
