Re: [mnemosyne-proj-users] Error on startup

[Peter Bienstman]

It seems Mnemosyne is unable to open your database anymore.

Did it work previously with this version of Mnemosyne?

I suggest you first backup / move to another location your Mnemosyne
data directory (typically ~/Library/Mnemosyne and this directory
contains default.db)

Then, remove ~/Library/Mnemosyne, try to start again, and see if you can
open a backup from with the old databir ( in Mnemosyne/Backups).

Good luck!

Peter

If you have errors on Windows 7 (as opposed to OSX), first make sure you are running the latest version (2.2a), and if necessary delete C:\users\jrle\Application Data\Roaming\Mnemosyne\config

'config' could be in another, similar directory too.

Cheers,

Peter
