Mental Case. It's wonderful! But last night and today I ran into a
bit of a problem. Mental case crashes at random times as I'm either
making new notes or as I'm studying a lesson. It all started
happening after my database grew to be over 1.3GB (I have several
hundred notes with images on them). When MC crashes, my entire
system basically grinds to a halt. I have to force quit everything
and restart my computer (thankfully I don't get a kernel panic or
have the system freeze up entirely).<br>
Is the crash of MC possibly due to the huge database I have?<br>
Any help would be awesome.</p></div>Richtag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/52669562011-02-11T07:09:23Z2011-02-11T07:09:23ZMental overload - too large of a database?<div><p>It could be. We have improvements for media storage in the next
major release.</p>
<p>In the meantime, you could try studying shorter slideshows, or
exporting some of the larger cases and deleting them if you don't
really need to study them at this point.</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br>

on doing a bit of shuffling with the contents. Is there any plan to
support multiple / different libraries? What I mean is, I'm
planning on going to the Mental Case application support folder and
renaming the library to something different like "Unit 2" so that
next time I start up I'll have a different default
library.mentalcaselib created and I can start anew for Unit 3.</p>
<p>It would be really awesome if, in a future version, there was
support for just selecting the library you want to use... or is
there some setting I've yet to find?</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply.</p></div>Richtag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/52669562011-02-11T07:45:35Z2011-02-11T07:45:35ZMental overload - too large of a database?<div><p>No direct support at this time. You could use an app like Roo
Switch to do the moving of files.</p>
<p>These large database issues should disappear when we release
version 2, which stores all media in separate files, like
iTunes.</p>

to the release of version 2. Sounds awesome!</p>
<p>Oh, and thanks to the developers for making this wonderful tool.
It has made studying for A&P immeasurably easier.</p></div>Rich
