I think this is taken care of in the 2.x version, if you export it to .cards file.

I'm currently taking a biochemistry class and I'm trying to do my fellow classmates a solid by keeping a copy of my cards available for them to work with. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do that?

Right now I'm just making cards, exporting them and then putting them up on a google doc. The problem is that as I go through old cards and update them to reflect new material, I'm not sure how they'll get those updates AND preserve their card stats. Is that impossible or is that an option/plug-in I'm unfamiliar with?

Hm no you seem to be right. 

Not sure what I was doing last night. I managed to import my files in such a way that it just kept adding cards to cards. 

Ie. I had 40 cards. I imported a new exported revision and and suddenly I had 80 cards. 

So new question. Is there a way for my classmates to preserve any changes to cards when they import a new set?

Hello guys,

I can't start mnemosyne anymore. When this happened first, I uninstalled mnemosyne (I don't remember the version) and installed the newest version (2.2.1).

On startup I get this message:


---------------------------
Mnemosyne

An unexpected error has occurred.
Please forward the following info to the developers:

Hey Ando,

I think Peter implemented a function to find duplicates. Have you tried it?

----------------
Mnemosyne 2.2 : 2012-12-04

-Added menu option to detect duplicates in the database.

Bye,

Are you using an USB key? If so, make sure you follow the instructions here:

http://mnemosyne-proj.org/help/running-from-usb-drive.php

Otherwise, make sure you have write permissions on the directory where
you store your database.

If you export data in the '*.cards' format, other people can import it,
make changes, and then reexport them. Then, you can reimport their file,
and it will change your current cards (not add new cards).

This only works for the cards format however, not for the basic txt format.

Good luck!

Peter

Hi Peter,

you're right. I didn't have write permissions for some reason.

Problem solved! :)

Thank you and have a nice day!!

Bye,

Abakus
