Export and reset in Mn 2.0

[Garyth Nair]

I am new to this wonderful program and have just constructed a database to teach my students the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). I have several questions:

1.  I tested the new db in order to get a feel for how it worked and now wish to reset the data so i can send a copy to my student with all cards set at 0. I read several posts on this subject but have the following problems:

a. In Mnemosyne 2.0, I cannot find an export command
b. Also cannot find the reset data command referred to in various posts.

Please advise on how I can reset all cards to 0 before I send the db to a new person.

2.  For the IPA symbols I am using the font Charis SIL but cannot change the size of the symbols in Mnemosyne. Is this possible? If I use a Unicode font for the symbols, would that help? Here is a screen shot so you can see the size of the font relative to the Mnemosyne care.




Thank you for a wonderful learning tool!!!

Hello,

Peter the developer of the project is away and is coming back next week.

He has said that export is planned to be developed after some bugs are fixed in the current 2.0.

If you don't want to wait, you could make the cards as an text file with the cards back/front separated by a tab, and each new card on a new line, then give this file to your students for import.

I can't see your screenshot. I guess you have tried to change the font size in the configuration?

Thank you very much for all the news in Peter's absence. I've attached the screenshot with this email so you can see the size of the font. I must confess that I never looked under the Font option in the configurations ... I just assumed that it was only the font set and not the attributes such as Bold and Size. I've now used that utility (the size was set at 8!) and the cards look just fine as you can see.

Again, thank you so much.

Ps. I'll play around with the suggestion about the 0-settings. I'm not so sure I want to trust her to do that -- I'd rather send the db ready to go so I'll wait until Peter returns (and will hopefully have a way of doing that without recoding).

Glad the font issues have been fixed.

Exporting cards for sharing with other people is high up the priority list.

Cheers,

Peter

So, just to clarify, the 'Export Cards' function is not available for Mn2.0 yet right?

I was going crazy trying to find it... or figure it out.

any suggestions for someone who just made 100+ cards for an exam and needs to export them to a friend ASAP?

Thanks so much.

You could try to reset the appropriate fields in the database (e.g. default.db) using sqlite commands and then pass the database.

A helpful GUI for this is e.g. the firefox addon SQLite Manager:
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/5817

The following command doesn't seem to reset all data, but at least all cards are reset to unlearned:
update cards set grade=-1,next_rep=-1,last_rep=

-1,easiness=2.5,acq_reps=0,ret_reps=0,lapses=0,acq_reps_since_lapse=0,ret_reps_since_lapse=0;

Maybe that's better than nothing?

Indeed, it's not yet available, sorry.

I will see what I can accomplish with this hack. Thanks for the advice and helpful suggestions.
