New Pics Torrent Progress

Well, time is limited, and help is limited. I'll use this post to keep you updated. Please subscribe to this topic if you're interested.
GENERAL
* Missing sets are listed at the bottom of this post.
* From the Vault Legends needs a do-over. Extreme described the artifacts as looking like a thumbprint.
* I'm exploring p2p sync technology. http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html. Don't even suggest Dropbox or anything like it.
(UPDATE) BTSync is working very well. When done we'll see if this translates into a better launch.
* I'll be changing the way some cards are named. I don't expect any feedback until it's too late. That's the way it always is.
(UPDATE) I'm adding .crop and .xlhq appendages.
* I'm using the 3-letter set codes from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ma ... ering_sets.
* Some codes I'll have to make up. For example, Introductory 2 Player isn't listed in the link above. I'm keeping it I2P.
* I need a simple file mover/renamer. A script-based utility that can read delimited text files will work. The idea is to translate between formats required by different programs. Otherwise, programmers can support whatever I come up with.
* Have to decide between
Forest1 (MWS priority format)
Forest 1
Forest (1) (Manalink 3.0 format)
Forest [1] (Magic Album Format)
(DONE, I'm using the classic "Forest1" since MWS hasn't died yet, and I have nostalgia. I could still change if anyone has a good reason.)
* Have been using Zip with store level compression. Must decide whether to keep it.
(DONE) I'm back to using torrentzip: http://sourceforge.net/projects/trrntzi ... /trrntzip/
* Split Cards and Flip Cards will use an underscore: Fire_Ice
(Update) Duels decks DDH fulls currently uses a hyphen surrounded by spaces to denote Split cards. This set also has single lands with a number, plus cards with regular hyphens. Thinking...
(DONE) Single lands will not get a number, see below. Split cards will get a hyphen surrounded by spaces, flip cards an underscore.
(UPDATE) Splits and flips should have both names in the title.
* If a set has multiple lands or other types, they will be numbered. If they have only one of a type, it will not get a number.
Example: A set has one Forest and two Swamps. Forest still doesn't get a number.

* "Ae", not "AE"
* Split cards should face left, so a 90 deg. clockwise turn brings them facing up.
* Tokens stay with sets (LATER MAYBE)
* ZEN has some big art lands, the small art has an "a", need to consider that one
* Emblem Elspeth, Knight-Errant
* If there is no .jpg prependage, the card is not normally playable, such as inserts
FULLS
UNH set has duplicates which I'm removing. Now we have

I originally did this to keep compatibility with the various masterbases, but until further notice I'll just keep the shortest versions.
