Alas! ' mnemosyne ' may be the answer to my prayers! Systematically I have used SM-7 since 2000 to support my learning of Italian (22 000 items) and history, later also French (10 000 items)
These databases of course has become very valuable to me. Every know and then i have loooked at newer versions of SM, but I always get put off by the overloaded, confusing, not-intuitive user interface. I also feel that the major part of the new functionality offered is of little significance to my learning efforts. Now I fear that it is only a mattwer of time until I am no longer able to start and maintain my dbs in good old 7.5 for win 3.1 (!!!) It seems that * mnemosyne * does most of what I need in a safer and "cleaner" way than SM. 1) Any restrictions when importing from SM 7.5? - field length, line-breaks, learning information 2) I have found it useful in SM to copy an item, modify it and thus create a new item. Possible in mnemosyne ? 3) I sometimes take a look at my "leeches" and make them easier or postpone them befor "reset" . Possible in mnemosyne ? 4) I keep my learning topics in separate databases (one for Italian, and another for history) Possible in mnemosyne ? 5) As a work around to improve SM search I've initated some items with fixed code, eg. "C-TIV" to indicate topic is abut congiuntivo (mode of verb, grammar) or IMP to indicate Imperative. How do I solve this in mnemosyne ? 6) For bulk update of new learning I create "Q: / A:" doucument in Notepad before import. Similar possibility in mnemosyne ? 5) When testing mnemosyne the text in all cards were centered. I prefer align right. Possible 6) Can I manipulate cards (postpone for a veeery long time, change order etc) Thanks in advance!
