What is the best way to import cards and assign a cloned Sentence card type?

[Chris]

I am planning to create a text file with about 400 new cards and import them into Mnemosyne.The final card type should be a cloned Sentence card type (with cloze deletion). What is the best way to achieve this?

I made a test with only a few cards and imported them in Vocabulary card type, as described here: http://mnemosyne-proj.org/help/importing.php
The problem is now, that it doesn't seem to be possible to change the card type to the cloned Sentence card type for all cards at once. And editing card by card would be a lot of work for 400 cards.
What would you suggest?

Cheers,
Chris

Hi,

You can select multiple cards in the browser, right-click and choose 'change card type'.

Cheers,

Peter

Thanks for the prompt reply.

The problem is that there is no Sentence card type in the dropdown so
this doesn't seem to be possible ?

Hi,

I'll have a look at this for the next release, but it could take a while though.

Meanwhile, if you're handy with scripting, you could also write a python script which programmatically adds these cards to the database.

Or directly input the data in Mnemosyne...

Thanks again for your answer.

I have no experience with python (but some experience with scripting),
so I think I'll try it this way.
