Fist of all, thank you for the time and effort developing this wonderful piece of software. I had used MWS to keep track of inventory but was having problems with invalid inventory files. It is no full to enter 16,000 cards and not be able to access the file. The 'Import MSW Inventory' feature saved me hours. So, thank you.

Is there any reason why you choose F5 and the hotkey to add cards to inventory? Can I assign a different key?

Do you have a tip for removing the '.full' from multiple files at a time? I can't imagine doing this for all all the MWSPA pics. Can MWSPA be changed to create the correct directories and file names?

Thanks again.

In the Legions set, card #106 Macetail hystrodon is formatted differently than the rest of the set, so that a sort by number makes it last.

The cards fields in the inventory statistics window are too small to display all of the information, and I don't seem to be able to stretch them.

Keep up the good work Goblin Hero. I love this program. I also love that it's portable. I run it on any computer from a thumb drive.

The program worked great but I am still not getting any pictures. for example, my Zendikar pics are stored here, D:\Hobbies\MTG\MTG Pics\Magic Album\Expansions\Zendikar and the preferences are pointed here,D:\Hobbies\MTG\MTG Pics\Magic Album, shouldn't this work?

Any objections to me posting information about Magic Album on the forums at mtgsalvation.com? I'm sure a lot more people will start using this program as word gets around.

Feel free to post anything over there about us. We have no secrets here. 8)

There are quite a few inventory managers nowadays, I wish someone would review them all.

For Braski66 and all the other with pictures problem
You've to move all your pics in the directory where is installed magic album for example
C:\magic album
the same path you have to write it in the program preference under tools .
After that you have to store the cards in different directory (see the Pictures don't work post).
if you open the sets ( in excel) file under the database directory of Magic Album you have all the directory that you have to create and the name to store the pics.
Example . for M10
in c:\ magic album create a
Core sets folder after in Core sets folder create a
Magic 2010 subfolder after in Magic 2010 create
ENG folder store in it the pics whithout .full
and that appear in the program.
I hope that help you bye

Should work. Read manual once more, you're doing something wrong.

1st way: Find a person with full ITA set, scan it, we process scans, you'll get HQ pictures.
2nd way: Grab low quality pictures from gatherer.

A suggestion for the inventory . A column , like the legality column in the database , where put the card condition if possible whit color icons whit the possibility to edit it .
for ex :
green = mint / near mint
yellow = good
red = poor
