Just downloaded and started reading the mtgmintcard script to try and see what's changed. I didnt catch how you would determine which set or languages are being passed to the script to determine which to import? (it looks like you have 3 arrays importfoil, importlangs, importsets but not sure what the structure expectations of them are).

Also is the setprice function been updated? It looks like you can define the price for both foil and non-foil editions in one setprice function call.

Anything else I overlooked?

Read wiki. http://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/Magic_Album_Lua_APIimportfoil is a string. importlangs and importsets are arrays. If importlangs[langid] ~= nil, this lang should be imported. The same for sets.

Also is the setprice function been updated? It looks like you can define the price for both foil and non-foil editions in one setprice function call.

SetPrice now requires lang id instead of abbreviation and returns a value.

I have a minor request regarding the new way that the set filters are displayed. I would like to see that the cascade view stays "open" when you reopen the filter window. Now it collapses back to default (the filter options remain sellected).

Create a feature request ticket so I won't forget about it.

I/O Operations disabled huh?

Love the program, hate to be a pain but I've been looking through other threads and haven't been able to figure it out. I'm not seeing any Korean cards in the database, period. Is there a special database I should be using instead? Am I missing an option? Are they just not available? I can see Korean in the pricing options, but not in the actual database/collections. Thanks for any help.

Yes.

Will function similar to GetURL but for local files will be enough?

There are two problems:
1. Gatherer does not provide info for Korean cards.
2. Sometimes it provides, but I need proof that these cards are exists.
Are you from Korea? Can you help? Right now I have data only for Korean Dark Ascension. If you confirm that these cards exist - I will add them to the DB very quickly. As for the rest of the sets - I need the data (name, text, flavor).

[capsizebuyback]

Unfortunately no, I am just in the US but am a fan of the Korean look and have picked up a few boxes of DKA in Korean, hoping to do the same with future sets. Wish I could help more :/. Thanks again.

Will function similar to GetURL but for local files will be enough?

Should be yes. Only thing I would be worried about would be buffer size when it comes to local files. I wouldn't want to try and read in the entire file at once only to find the file is something like 1000MB.

Should be yes.

Implemented in r228. See wiki for description.

Awesome... one other thing, you might want to change the thread title to "Magic Album Discussion" (or something not so version specific.)

I have a question:
Is it on purpose, that the rendered card uses the oracle text instead of the original text exclude the flavor text (which uses the original text)?
It would be nice if the rendered card will use the original text.
