It'd be nice if OPT could open a few more file format. It's got a great selection already but I've been using a lot of MTGStudio (http://www.mtgstudio.com/) to make decks and OPT can't open the file format.

hm, xml decks.

what extension do these come in? just .deck?
is any other program using .deck? (one that OPT supports)
Im too lazy to check that myself

Yeah it's .deck.

I'm not sure if any other program uses it (sorry). MTGStudio has support for most of the other deck types out there though. The creator hasn't been around as much lately because he's doing a big overhaul of the database so that the program loads faster, etc.

If you make a post on his board you could probably get OPT deck format added to the types of formats it saves in. I asked him to add Wagic The Homebrew and he added it.

Then doesn't it support mws decks? because OPT supports mws decks.
That way, just save as mws deck.

are you trying to say that you'd like to add the functionality of OPT to use that format but that it's not a priority right now?

well, the way OPT parses deck files is via regular expression, xml parsing is different because it works with nodes and whatnot.
so yeah, there are other things i need to get done first.
unless it's preventing people from starting to use OPT, then i'll give it some more prio.
maybe magicstudio can save a deck as plain text?

Posted: **28 Jan 2011, 08:21**

Yeah, it supports a lot of formats. I don't want to cause you a lot of extra work.

It'd probably be easier to take my 30 odd decks and re-save them in a different format. I just figured the more deck options OPT offers the better. Obviously low priority. I'd rather see new stuff. I just wasn't sure if it would be a large undertaking to add or if it would only be an hour or so to code a new format in.

i think it's good for people to bring ideas to the table! maybe after OPT hits 1.0, bring it up again in case jorbes forgets?
