• In browse cards, one can batch select and delete using tags.
• In browse cards, one can search for specific words, SQL wildcards '_' (ends with) and '%' (has these characters) can be use to match.
• In browse cards, its an easier environment to attach sound/image files.
• In 'edit' mode, one can use html tags, eg for bold, red text!
• In ‘Study’ tab->(De)activate cards, the unset tags will be saved as a set that can be named.

Media Input

- place all required media eg. sound, image files (within their respective folders) within the folder: C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne\default.db_media // best to create additional subfolders; such as images, sound.

a. Adding images

Right-clicking in Edit mode on a text entry field brings up a file selection dialog that one can use to choose an image file. This generates usual 'img src' tags - subfolders can also be created in the media folder eg.[img src="images/somepic.jpg"]

b. Adding sounds

Right-clicking in Edit mode can also be used to insert sound files. This generates tags of the form
[audio src="mysoundfile.mp3"] ## the file in main directory (default.db_media).
To play the sound again, press CTRL+R in the main window. One can also play a part of the audio file, as audio tags support start and stop arguments, e.g. start="1" stop="2"> will play the sound file from 1 to 2 seconds.
