When I run 2.x for the first time and it imports the 1.x database it

Is this with the latest beta? I thought this was fixed to only show a single
error message in situations like these.
yes. happens in both Windows and Linux.
Regardless of the reason it does look like the sync was proceeding but
that mnemosyne has treated it as a FATAL error and has aborted the
import/sync.
That's indeed what's happened. I will change the code to detect this
particular case and give a more useful error message.
I still believe that this should be a fatal error, since Windows will never be
able to use these image files anyhow.
Fatal for that card perhaps, but not for the import surely? I don't mind
losing occasional cards and re-creating them. For me anyway, the issue
of images is a troublesome one as I've still not got a streamlined
process for getting them from my photo database into mnemosyne. As a
timely example, in 1.x I can parse the data file and substitute the
<HEIGHT= > tag into all the cards with images, thus giving a quick and
dirty way of controlling image size depending on which PC I'm using,
netbook, laptop or desktop. After importing into 2.x I notice that when
editting individual cards that the HEIGHT= is still there, but I can
presumably only modify them on a card-by-card basis as the database is
no longer stored in a flat ASCII file, but in an SQL database. I'm still
undecided whether to try and export an optomised-for-mnemosyne-size
image from my photo database, or whether to use them full-size and rely
on the scroll-bars in 2.x for viewing. But I digress; my mnemosyne
database is pock-marked with anomalies and missing files, and for me
anyway, I quite like its robustness in that whenever I encounter
something amiss, I can either delete/edit/re-create as suits my whim.
When you fix this, first change the filename in the OS, and only then the card
content in Mnemosyne, as doing it the other way around will probably result in
Mnemosyne overzealously deleting that file.
I'll give that a try and then re-attempt the import. I might find
there's just a couple of images like that. Then again, there might be
hundreds!
