Card Browser not functioning at all

[fon...@gmail.com]

Hello,
I use mnemosyne as a way to study for my Arabic class, and I am having trouble when opening to the card browser. As soon as I open it, I receive a message that says:

An unexpected error has occurred.
Please forward the following info to the developers:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "mnemosyne\pyqt\browse_cards_dlg.py", line 247, in paint
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\card.py", line 92, in question
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\card_type.py", line 71, in render_question
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\render_chain.py" line 141, in render_question
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\render_chain.py" Line 165, in _render
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\filters\RTL_handler.py", line 49, in run
IndexError: string index out of range

There is an option to X out this alert, or to press "ok." Whichever option is pressed, the alert pops right back up immediately, and the window is set up in such a way that the program itself is no longer usable. The only way to use Mnemosyne at all again is to close it out with my task manager, but of course the pop up reappears whenever I try to open the card browser. This became an issue soon after a similar error made Mnemosyne COMPLETELY unusable, resulting in me uninstalling and deleting all of Mnemosyne's data from my computer and reinstalling resulting in ALL my flashcards (over a hundred) being lost - and this happens even though I followed the proper backup instructions from the site. Please, if anyone can tell me of a potential solution that'd be greatly appreciated. I have grown quite fond of Mnemosyne and it has become an essential part of my daily routine and it is a fantastic supplemental tool to my Arabic classes. Without access to the Card Browser, it becomes very difficult to organize the cards and study properly. If there is no apparent solution for this problem, can someone here perhaps direct me to another program that would function similarly? Thanks.

Hi,

Can you try this version?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/f6ooibp50ok9qpk/Mnemosyne-2.6-pre.exe?dl=0

That should fix the browser error.

With respect to cards you lost, first of all, uninstalling Mnemosyne will leave your own database intact, so provided you have not deleted it manually, reinstalling a new version should pick up your current cards automatically.

Otherwise, if you have a backup which contains (e.g.) default.db (provided that's the name you used for your database), you can just copy it over to Mnemosyne's data directory, and then 'File - Open' should pick it up.

Let me know if you need more information.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi,

Just wondering, did you already manage to try the new version, as well my suggestions on how to load your old database?

Cheers,

Peter
