Generating cards with media content

[Mateusz Konieczny]

I want to generate large set of cards with media content, with all cards of the

"Front-to-back and back-to-front" type.

Content itself is ready, but I am not sure what format will be the easiest to produce.

In principle one may produce *.cards file, but it seems to be a really complex format

and I failed to find any documentation of which values are mandatory and how to produce

a valid file.

Is there maybe some easier method? Or even better - existing script/program

mass producing cards with media content that may be used as a base?

FWIW, the svgtoquiz script (http://tbrk.org/software/svgtoquiz.html) generates
cards with images in the Mnemosyne2 format. See:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~tbrk/svgtoquiz/trunk/view/head:/svgtoquiz/export/mnemosyne2.py#L218

This code is a bit old, but maybe it helps. Otherwise, I always found
reading Peter's source to be helpful.

Hi,

You can also put them in a txt file and then import that.

Or, you can do it programmatically, using the libmnemosyne python API. Look at the example_scripts directory in the source tree on Launchpad.

This requires installing Mnemosyne in your python distribution using the linux source ball, though.

Cheers,

Peter

It seems that it can be done with tab-separated text file and then changing type of card

to "Front-to-back and back-to-front". I have large amount of cards, but so large that it

doing card type change is unfeasible.

I tested this on small card set and it seems that everything woks correctly with

media files added manually to default.bd_media and referenced by imported cards.

BTW, in the card browser, you can select more than 1 card, right click and then do 'change card type'.

...and scrolling down loads more cards in "browse cards" view. It makes

processing thousands of cards feasible.
