I don't ever remember going into that directory, so not sure why there's no history.

Seems to only happen when I run without arguments. If I run with the .db file as an argument, it runs correctly. However still -- it should run by default without any arguments.

You can work around this by creating a history directory in the old Mnemosyne 1.x directory.
Anyway, I've committed a fix which will be in the upcoming 2.3 release.

Is http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~peter-bienstman/mnemosyne-proj/trunk/revision/1765 the relevant commit?

[Peter Bienstman (peter-bienstman)]

That should be the one.
