Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use Memento Database on my desktop because working on a larger screen with a keyboard is much more convenient.

I'm using the latest version of the Windows desktop application 3.10.0 , but I've run into several issues:

  • High RAM usage:  The Windows application uses more than 2 GB of RAM, which causes noticeable lag and reduced responsiveness even on my workstation PC, especially when working with large libraries.

  • Different behavior: Some features, particularly scripts and Rich Text fields, behave differently on Windows compared to Android. This makes usage inconsistent.

  • fields names : In some cases, field names are still visible on the desktop version even though those fields are hidden in the Android app, resulting in a different user interface.

Because of these differences, I even tried running the Android version through an Android emulator. While it provides behavior closer to the real Android app, it is not a practical long-term solution due to the additional resource usage and inconvenience.

My question is:

Is there any practical way to use the Android version of Memento Database on a desktop while maintaining the same behavior as on a phone or tablet?

Alternatively, has anyone found a reliable workflow that avoids these inconsistencies between the Windows and Android versions?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions or recommendations. Thank you!

Hallo
Die verschiedenen Versionen sind unterschiedliche Programme die die Selben Daten nutzen . Der Entwickler versucht die Unterschiede klein zu halten . Die Skript unterschiede kommen von den Unterschiedlichte Javea versionen die auf Android oder den  PC laufen . Es gab mal ein Programm das den Handy Bildschierm auf den PC Spigelten , vieleicht ist das eine Lösung ?

Hello

The different versions are different programs that use the same data. The developer tries to keep the differences to a minimum. The script differences come from the different Javea versions running on Android or PC. There used to be a program that mirrored the phone screen to the PC; perhaps that's a solution?

You might want to report the differences as bugs directly to the developer of Memento. He does not always monitor this web site. He can be reached at sup...@mementodatabasel.com

If you can mention specific issues with scripts, we might be able to point out a different way to accomplish the task that would work on both platforms.

With fields, are you concerned about hiding the field entirely? There are several different ways to hide fields, perhaps one of the other methods will work the same for you on both platforms.
