You can resize an image quickly - i.e., almost instantly - in IrfanView (Ctrl+r), which gives you the option of retaining the original proportions.

I forget - also: you can make a tape of a set of words by recording the audiio output (with Audacity, for example) to work on listening skills. It's harder without the visual prompt.

"To import the files from there would be great!" - BYKI is a SRS program itself, and the basic program is free, and there are a ton of free lists, both prepared by Transparent Language and by users. The only problem is that you need the full program to make your own cards (but you've got Mnemosyne for that.). Both versions allow for written answers, which some of us really need in order to learn to spell. The company might have some objections to somebody offering a way to simply extract their content and port it to another program, especially the audio files.

Interlex allows this - once you've identified your two languages, the keyboard switches automatically when you change fields, which is really nice if you've got a number of Shift-Alt combinations to keep straight. After I jury-rigged audio for it with AutoHotKey, I never would have left Interlex if I could have figured out how to get it to handle handle Arabic.
If the alphabets differ in only a few letters (say, English and Danish), it's easier to use AutoHotKey to make hotkeys for the few foreign characters you need - say ,aa to give å. You wouldn't want to type a page this way, but for individual words and phrases it beats switching keyboard layouts every other thing.
If you're already working on changing the export feature, how about adding a field for tags? It's a lot more efficient to make changes in a word-processor - removing the _missing for unfound audio, changing the order of cards, adding formatting - but this involves, as far as I can see, losing the tag structure. (Since I don't use Mnem for the spaced-repetition feature much, I don't mind losing that information, but for those who do, why not simply allow a selection of fields?)
