Where can I found all the pics without a _full.jpg
name , it's very hard for me rename all the pics.
thanks for all.

There are many free tools that will allow you to remove the .full from all your files at once. Google "file renamer"

[hunter60]

thanks Huggybaby I have found Rename Master is very easy to use , is freeware and very fast.
Thanks for your help

Another question about the pictures. I have found an error US don't work because have a path like :
Regular Cards/Expansions/Exodus.
other bug are in some Special Sets and Promo Cards where not all the pictures are displayed.
Alpha Beta Revised and other sets aren't displayed yet.
There're a solution for this in the next beta?
I've the cards in Italian and for me not see the pictures
is difficult to store it.
Thanks for all the work

US don't work
Alpha Beta Revised and other sets aren't displayed yet.

Confirmed. Will be fixed (you may edit .csv yourself and enter any path you like).

I've the cards in Italian and for me not see the pictures

You want to display both ENG and ITA cards? I do not understand.

[hunter60]

If I have the italians pics I display it, if not I
display the pics in english and when I store the cards
I write the italian name in the comment.
It's difficult for me store my card in italian if I don't
see the pics because I don't know all the english card name.
But another question , can I store the cards both in ENG and ITA ?

You may locate cards using collector number.

But another question , can I store the cards both in ENG and ITA ?

Not until I add ITA cards to database.

[hunter60]

It will be a very good idea add ITA cards in the database

[Goblin Hero]

It will be a very good idea add ITA cards in the database

I know. But I have to write complex gatherer parser to grab all needed info. Not an easy task But it is planned.

Alpha 14 is out. Most notable changes: Inventory csv export, planes and vanguard support, some features to support cards in foreign languages.
Note1: Pictures directory structure has slightly changed. No more "Regular Cards" directory. Move everything one level up.
Note2: Download new archive and replace all files.

Cool i'll be downloading this tonight and giving it a burn.

soo soo many cards to add.

Update:
Looked at CSV Export, It used Tab spacing, great, will not conflict with text comma's.
adding the card collector number would be good.

Looked at inventory statistics, now shows the correct number of unique cards missing.
There is an extra column in that screen now and the window size has not been expanded, some of the values in the columns get hidden.

A filter i am unable to do as yet is Multicolor cards, ie. show/hide cards with more than one basic color.
As i have my cards sorted as land, artifact, multicolor, White, Blue, Black, Red, Green, as i am entering them into Album when i get to multicolor cards i have to do, Not Colorless, Not land and skip through a much greater list to find the multicolor cards.

Something i found while adding cards was, i'm working in the upper section (Database) and selecting the card i have in my hand to add (x) to my Library.
Something that would be handy would be Color change or something to highlight the Qty field of the affected card.
eg, i select from the Database table the card "Abolish" (from PY set) and hit "F5" (Add Regular card to Library), The lower section then scrolls (if necessary) to show the "Abolish" card in the visible table section and highlight the Regular Qty field.
This would aid the user to visually see the change just made. without the Database selection going away (ie. Database table remains with input focus.

Just my thoughts on using this, already i think it exceeds MWS in terms of Library management. But there is always room to improve

[hunter60]

Thanks for the new alpha . One thing for me important,
when I select to order the cards by number is boring that the numeration was 1 - 10 -11 ... and not 1 - 2 - 3 ... that was better for collecting the cards .
I hope that will be a solution for that .
Thanks for all Goblin Hero

[panos]

Goblin Hero great work. I have a problem. I can't see Planes or Vanguard cards. I imported inventory from MWS and the statistics show me that I have the cards but I can't see them in database or inventory. Even in filter if I put nontraditional it shows me nothing.

[Goblin Hero]

hunter60: No problems, I'll fix it.
panos: Oops I've broken something. It was ok before. I'll look into it.

[hunter60]

I've installed Alpha 1.5.
Now the card number is in order ( very good ),
but the quick search work properly only in the inventory and don't work in the database : is it a bug ?
About the pictures I haven't understand what's the right
structure for view the token in every sets.
thanks for your good work Goblin Hero
