Hi Peter, I've been playing with Mnemosyne2 a lot this week and have a better understanding now. For the record: - I've installed Mnemosyne 2 on my other computer (with a shared database on a server - using the -d option) - added tags including hierarchical categories (e.g. house::kitchen) & retagged whole blocks of cards using the 'browse cards' window - converted all my single-sided cards (1000+) to 'Vocabulary' card type (the only error I got was when I put the sound file reference in the pronunciation field 'cause I didn't know what I was doing). - changed 'a pair' of cards: the change was reflected in both.
The 'cards repeating in the same session' querk seems to have settled down now which leads me to conclude that it was caused by my 'learning ahead of schedule'. I've got the crammer working now! If I were to offer any critisism (positive only) it would be that it's a bit slow at times - I'm guessing that's down to python - and that the scrolling is a bit jerky in the 'browse cards' window; making group selection a little awkward. I am well impressed with the facilities provided by the program and it's stability; the hierarchical tagging and categories facility is excellent. Thanks so much.
