My tiny contribution

Hi everyone !

First post but since long I wanted to thank you all for your hard work on this project, and especially monopoman and jatill.
I went on holiday just after the "jatill semi-retirement thread" (it was my birthday

) and didn't expected finding so much bug fixes and improvement : thanks again

Unfortunately, Magic Utilities don't work on my little french windows 7 RC (they tried to use the command "cp" instead of "copy.exe"). So I've made a little DOS batch script which can do more or less the same things :
- sort your decks files so that you can use only T1, T2, etc... decks (same as Magic Utilities do , without the "holding" sub folder, just use the same naming conventions for your decks)
- launch "Magic.exe" in Draft Mode (but the script doesn't clear your playdeck folder)
- launch "Magic.exe" in Momir Basic Mode
- backup and restore your playdeck folder to a backup sub folder
- cleanup your draft decks (reuse of jatill's CleanupDraft.bat)
Just copy "Launcher.bat" in the same folder than "Magic.exe" and run it.

I don't know if it can be useful to someone, but I'll be happy to modify/improve/adapt/rewrite/delete/... it if anyone needs it. :wink:

EDIT : I made a new version which add the Normal Mode (it just run Magic.exe with all your decks without change).

PS : As you see, English isn't my native language :oops:

Great Job it works fine. Thanks for this. =D>

It works for me too. Thanks.

Have you considered to put also the normal magic.exe option in the launcher (so that I can just create a link for the launcher on the desktop and have everything there --- I know I'm a lazy person

). Thanks anyway.

Hi everyone

Glad to see that my tiny launcher helped you.

@Reid :
No problem, I'm a very lazy person too you know :wink:

I have edited my first post with the new version you asked for.

Perfect.Thanks again

I finally got around to checking this out. Very nice, thanks. I hope you don't mind if I include this by default in future releases (in exe form, though).

@jatill :
Of course, feel free to do as you wish with it.
I'm so glad to have helped a little with this launcher.
By the way, I'm the one who must thank you for all your job :
