General Discussion

I'm sure this has been asked before too, but what settings does John use to save his splash images. I know it uses 96dpi, I'm just wondering if he uses the highest quality available or another setting.

There was a topic on Mnemosyne a while back and I told that making Mnemosyne portable would need modifying the source code. But I had missed the part of the Python manual that says:
On Windows, only "~" is supported; it is replaced by the environment variable HOME or by a combination of HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH.
