Currently I am downloading the HQ Scans. I need to know what exactly is the folder and file name structure to make sure the pic show up in OPT? Prob be a good idea to either make this info into a sticky or place it in the wikia.

You can set the top pictures directory to wherever you want (Options > Settings > Pictures), but the files themselves need to be in a folder that is named correctly. To find the right name, load up the deck builder and it will tell you the Abbreviation it uses.

Could I get a link to this wiki (I can't find it).

Perhaps having a "Help" button on the top menu that launches the Wiki?

i good idea for a future build would be the ability to choose from multiple types of file structure for the MTG pics. i know there are a couple of different distributions aside from the traditional MWS style.

What about the images? I saw somewhere that the files need to be named something like

LightingBolt.Full.jpg

Images need their proper names (Spaces and all).

The .full is optional (as OPT can choose to treat images without the .full as fulls).

Jorbes, what would you say is the preferred method for getting card pics (fulls) to use with OPT?

i've been wondering this because some of mine don't show up right.

it would be easiest to have an "official" source of images that you can point people to... and if they get their pictures some other way, it's on them whether they show up correctly or not.

pinecones, I cannot host pictures myself due to copyright and all.
what I can do is start building a torrent for them, but there is already an mws torrent out there and those pics should work fine.

the main issue is the different set codes mws uses. It would be nice to have a table somewhere so I can compare all the sets and the codes to see what could be done to be able to use the mws pictures torrent and still have every card show in OPT.

I plan on writing some code again after I'm done moving.
