I'm sorry to hear about your data loss. Is there no way to get your old mnemosyne folder (or the backup files within it) back?

That's correct. Mnemogogo only exports a subset of upcoming and new cards. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [email protected] [mailto:mnemosyne- > > [email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] > > Sent: 11 June 2015 00:22 > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: [mnemosyne-proj-users] Restoring from Mnemogogo cards file > > > > I recently got rid of a computer I was using Mnemosyne on, and due to my > > stupidity I accidentally kept not the Mnemosyne directory, but the > > Mnemogogo directory (which I used to sync to my phone).

The CARDS and STATS.CSV files will be enough to recover some information.

That's right. Mnemogogo only imports statistics (it never overwrites card contents) and only then when it finds a matching id in the database (i.e., it drops stats for cards that have been deleted). The gogo.log file will contain a list of these failures. > > So, is there any way I can recover this information? Is the memory history > > even in the Mnemogogo directory?

With some effort you will be able to recover the subset of your cards that were exported and their stats, with a bit more effort you could even recover their tags. It will be hard however to recover card types and links between cards (front-to-back and back-to-front). How many cards are in STATS.CSV? How long have you been reviewing cards with Mnemosyne/Mnemododo (i.e., how old was your database)?
