Creating New Card Set Without Merging With Existing Cards

[Vincent Brown]

Hello All,

I'm a newbie and I created a new set of cards I'd like to test out and share if they work.
When I open Mnemosyne, the first cards I started practicing with automatically open and I understand its recommended to keep everything on a single database. I don't see any way to not open my previous work.
My question is if I want to create a new set of cards for sharing, will Mnemosyne automatically include the whole database with other card sets?

If so, how do I work with just these new cards?

Thanks,

Vincent

I'm in the same boat. Programs like Anki (which I can't get to work in Ubuntu) have separate decks, but I haven't seen how to separate things this way in Mnemosyne. Are we supposed to do it purely by filtering on tags?

Hi,

If you only want to export a subset of cards, make only these active using 'activate cards'. Export will only export the active cards.

Cheers,

Peter

Yes, 'activate cards' and its saved sets perform the same roles as multiple databases. It's actually much more flexible, since a single cards can be part of multiple saved sets. Also, it much easier to sync a single database as opposed multiple ones.

Cheers,

Peter

I've just exported set 1 in the .cards extension and imported them whilst I had a set 2 open. Now I don't see the set 2 anymore, only the set 1.
Where did all the data of set 2 go? This result is not importing but overwriting. Ooops?
