Importing My Collection From Decked Builder To Magic Album
Posted: 14 Jul 2015, 01:57
Hi everybody, I hope everyone is doing alright!
I have a large collection and I have wanted to catalog it for a while so I did some digging online and came up with a few options. I ended up going with Decked Builder because of the sheer number of platforms it supported. It's pretty convenient and I do like it but they have an issue with their search engine. It can only display so many cards at once (I am lead to believe that number is ~400). I have cataloged over 9000 cards, this can be an issue as you can imagine.
I find myself constantly changing decks. A while ago I decided to just sleeve all of my cards in the same color/kind of sleeve so that I could swap cards between decks as needed. I also stored all of my staples by color in separate binders (one for each color) alphabetically so I can find the cards easily. My issue is that with Decked Builder's search limit, I am unable to ensure that my collection is correctly in order in my physical binders.
I have recently discovered this program and this forum. Everything I'm reading about it seems amazing. I was able to get the pictures and price tracker function working correctly and overall this program seems great! Now I just need some help with importing my collection from Decked Builder over to Magic Album.
I looked over the help file and created a .CSV file using Excel in the correct header order (Set, Name, Version, QtyReg, QtyFoil, Notes) but when I try to import the file I get an error message "Inventory Import - Can't open CSV file". Can anyone help me with this? Having to catalog that many cards for a second time seems rather daunting.
