Three wishes for free? ;)

[Carsten Alexander]

Dear Peter,

first I’d like to congratulate you on this awesome piece of software you made. Mnemosyne is the best trainer I know.

My first wish is, that the font-configuration is placed in the project-datebase rather in the global file. Currently I’m working on two languages: Italian and Sanskrit. For Sanskrit I’m using a special font, that was designed particularly for the Devanagari lettering (especially the oodles of ligatures), which is used to write it. I can’t use that font for Italian, because it has ugly latin characters. When I switch between the project I have to change the font-setting also, which is a little annoying.

The second wish concern the card browser. If you’re editing a single card in a long list of cards and closing the card, the card browser jumps back to the first entry in the list and you have to scroll down again to edit the next card. In my opinion in case of mass-editing it’d be most pleasant, if the mark remains on the edited card.

And finally there’s an issue with the audio output on Ubuntu 22.04. Neihter the automatic playback at uncovering the next card nor ctrl+r yields to any sound. I strongly suppose this isn’t a problem with Mnemosyne, but more possibly the sound-setup of Python. Perhaps you or someone else here can contribute me some help.

Thanks a million

Hi,

1) That's what card types are for! Just use a separate card type for both languages, and then you can set a font for each card type separately.

2) I know that's annoying! I have code which does just that, but there are some performance issues with the UI library we use that makes that very slow. I've turned this off for the time being, but perhaps in a future version of the library we can re-enable this.

3) For that wish, you should turn to the Ubuntu fairy :-)

Cheers,

Peter

Unfortunately that doesn't really help me, because I need the card-type „Vocabulary“ in both of the language. Since I can’t setup new categories, I’ve found a work-around using html: In Sanskrit I use the html-tag „<span style="font-family: 'Sanskrit 2003'; font-size: 48pt;"></span>“ for writing the Devanagari-Part of the entry. This works fine for me :)

Thx,

The idea is that you create two clones of Vocabulary, one for each language. You can do this in the card type manager.
