Forge Android App: 11-13-2016 Alpha 1.5.58.002

[drdev]

I just released 1.5.45.003, which contains a couple bug fixes for Advanced Search, as well as support for a new "Keywords" search option, which unlike a Rules Text search, searches for one or more discrete keywords (so you don't need to remember how to spell them) and will exclude cards that grant the keyword but don't have the keyword.

The coin flip mechanic seems to be working incorrect, or at least the interface for it. When I choose tails i always lose the flip. It doesn't matter if heads or tails comes up, it always counts as a loose. When i choose heads everything works as it should. I lose when tails comes up and win when heads comes up. I also posted this in the desktop thread.

Also, the app crashes when i restart a match in hotseat mode. This also happens in multiplayer mode in the desktop version.
In hotseat mode i sometimes get this weird error that i don't get the menu anymore when tapping a card in the deck editor.

And last, i know i asked this before but, are you still planning on changing the display of the hand in landscape mode? Or at least the option of switching back to portrait mode for mini-tablet users?

Thank you very much! Good night!

I was going to suggest you refer to the main Beta thread for the coin flip issue, but I see you already reported it there, so never mind.

For the hotseat mode, I'll have to investigate.

For landscape mode, I haven't had time to look into that recently, so in the interim I'd be happy to release support for switching back to portrait. If it's just an issue of your tablet size, the easiest fix I could do is simply change the threshold at which the app opens in landscape mode. What are the dimensions of your screen?

Advanced filters are brilliant, I already achieved what I often want, search for exactly "black AND green" for instance. You only should make searches persistent over sessions (but I remember you wanted to do that at some point). It is easier to reset an unneeded search than to create a new one every time.

Its a 7 inch screen.

Its a 7 inch screen.

What's the width?

Something I've considered is adding support for saving and loading Advanced Searches. So if you have a specific search you run often, it'd be easy to reload it without having to recreate it each time. Is that something that would alleviate the persistence concern? I can still look into having filters persist for certain screens either way.

Drdev thanks. Personally, I think I will not need savable search presets, but others may find this very useful. To me it would be more convenient, if search filters stayed persistent over a) the differenent screens and b) over Forge sessions.

What's the width?

1.280 x 800 pixel.

I just released 1.5.46.001, which contains two nice enhancements that were also just released with the latest desktop Beta:

- Net decks are now stored in a permanent location, so all categories should now return decks even if more are added later
- You can now download the awesome achievement trophies using a new "Download Achievement Images" option under Settings > Files, allowing your Achievements trophy case to look like this:

Finally the net decks work again! Great news.

I think btw, there could be a somewhat more conservative approach to download them. It looks like Forge downloads them too often (i.e., there may not have been changes in the net decks). Or maybe the user is just fine with the net decks he has - the dialog where it asks for download/proxy is not necessary.
I'm not having a good idea here, maybe a user defined schedule... The task should be to get rid of the download dialog as often as possible.

I just released 1.5.46.002, which contains a couple fixes for "Reset Filters", which wasn't properly resetting advanced search or the format/set combo box. It also contains a new menu for the Advanced Search filter label which displays when tapped, offering the ability to quickly tweak individual filters within the expression (skipping straight to selecting an operator and values), jump to the screen to edit the expression, or remove the filter altogether. The tooltip that used to display on tap will now display on long press.

Here's an idea of what this looks like:

A right-click menu with these same options has also been added to the Advanced Search filter label on desktop Forge, and will be available in the next snapshot build. You'll also be able to double-click the label to open the edit dialog.

So on the newest Android version updated today in quest mode the define custom buttons are greyed out and unusable

Hi,
I really like your application, good job.

I have a new tablet, a Mipad, but I can't play because I don't see the right of the screen. The resolution is 2048×1536.

If my posting here is in error please accept my apologies but I am out of options and at a loss for a solution. It is my hope the actual developer of Forge sees my cry for help and takes pity on me.

In the fewest words possible, this is what happened. I put Forge on my galaxy s5 active two days ago. Worked perfectly. Yesterday I noticed that my phone photo gallery had some 200+ new images that I did not put there. Many were just random letter and number combinations while others were clearly Forge related and there was even one with the Simpsons (I've no idea why). I suspected that these were put there as part of the Forge installation process being they showed up after I installed it. I deleted them all and then Forge stopped working, it would go immediately to a black screen. I uninstalled and reinstalled only to have the same issue happen. I installed multiple cleaning apps thinking there were some leftover junk files preventing the new install from working (ccleaner, clean master, etc) but even that has not worked. At this point I am considering a factory reset but I am hoping to avoid that.

Has anyone out there encountered this? Is a solution known? Again, I am sorry if this is entirely in the wrong place of the forum and I would humbly request leniency should this be in violation. I only post here out of desperation and the fact I loved Forge for the day I had it, it is the best Magic app I have ever seen.

Thanks for reading.
