Finding artwork still in progress but you can add this folder into image download of Mtgdb.Gui, i will find artwork by artist name then move artwork in right Setname, setcode later.

i alway use Megasync but if you have time please check imagedownloader, i found that error from both my link to artwork folder and your link to LQ folder.

I guess the program mostly find by card's name than other string values ( Set Code is the one i think still work best if we want to exact version of artwork in result )

Thats's right. To find the corresponding image I use
* set code
* card name
* image name / variant number (like plains1, plains2, ... for specific plains)

If you want to have several artworks for the same card, where each has the same set code or each has empty set code, you have to assign them different numbers:

Cancel1.jpg, Cancel2.jpg, etc
If you don't do this the program will consider them duplicates and only show one of them.

and even wrong artwork of the card version i get from result

The problem is that the image file has no information about the artist so you will be getting images of any artists despite the filter settings. To match an image to a card I only have following information
* set code (from directory name)
* card name (from file name)
* variant number (from file name like in plains1.jpg, plains2.jpg)

So there are some card images with indefinite set code and these will be shown and will have mismatching artist name.

so i think we just need add zoom feature for artwork in each zoom card

I see it as follows:
I will implement support for following setting

Code: Select all

<Directory Path="D:\mtg_artwork" Artwork="True" />

Then in zoom context menu you will have 2 additional checked options:
* show artwork
* show zoom

about side deck

I see your point. Let me think how to do it, maybe just like you shown.

if you have time please check imagedownloader

edited configuration

downloading process

As you can see from screenshots above the dowonloader successfully connects to your directory.
The problem you are facing is probably due to some proxy between you and mega.nz. It must be replacing mega.nz https certificate with it's own, which is not trusted by your operating system. As a consequence Megatools is showing you that 'SSL Connect error'.

thanks you, i change the run mode for the downloader and it work. How about the current downloader ? did it run with both megatool 32 bit and 64bit ? i'm using window 8.1 64bit so if 64bit megatool faster i want to know if i can replace the 32bit with 64bit version

[hidalgo]

i want to know if i can replace the 32bit with 64bit version

Should work
if you replace the MEGATOOLS binaries with x64 version, but keep the path as it is

Code: Select all

update\megatools-1.9.98-win32

The program will just find your megadl.exe and run it.

Thank you! I will add your folder to configuration files when implementing artwork feature

• Fixed search not working without specifying field name.
• Fixed unnesessarily requiring quotes (") even if search phrase or field name does not contain spaces.
• Fixed requiring field name with spaces like "Text En":"flying". Now you can use texten:flying without space and therefore without quotes.
• Fixed showing intellisense for other languages when field name is not specified
• Added card texts to intellisense. Due to this intellisense sorting became slower when not specifying field name
• Possibility to type part of field name like mana:u instead of manacost:u

[hidalgo]

=== v1.3.5.3 ===
Legality:

• Manually added AER (Aether Revolt) legalities to custom legalities file, until mtgjson sets legalities for all AER cards.

Search string intellisense suggest:

• Suggest for search string without ':' suggests field names as before. To get non-fieldspecific values suggest type ':', press Ctrl+Space
• Made suggest sorting a little faster

Filtering speed:

• Made filtering a little faster

=== v1.3.5.2 ===
Legality:

• Added separate group of filters by Legality
• Added fields LegalIn, RestrictedIn, BannedIn to search string
• Illegal, restricted or banned cards are marked visually in search result and deck

Search string fixes:

• Fixed exception when trying to get field list intellisense when value still empty.
  For example typing 'leg:', move caret left, Ctrl+Space would lead to this exception.

Duplicates:

• When duplicates are hidden, showing the latest released one.

Finding artworks progress will need hands from community to speed up so i've made a public google drive folder, you can add the link to release note or readme note of artworks folder

play around with new version but i'm not sure if it work right with legality filter

[hidalgo]

i'm not sure if it work right with legality filter

Thanks for reporting. It is because the data file from mtgjson.com has no legality info for most cards from AER

[aidscoi168]

I think the data file have lot of other cards have no infomation about legality, also this new version lost it's suggest main keywork for string filter ( i used to use down key to choose the keywork - it quite helpful ). The performance also down, app quite laggy

[hidalgo]

I guess you mean listing fieldnames when pressing down on empty search text.
Now for empty text (or some text, not specifying field name) you get general value suggest for all fields
To get field names suggest type ':', press left, then press down. Positioning the caret before ':' lets the program know you want field name suggest.

The performance also down, app quite laggy

Do you mean sorting suggest or some other things are slow too?

[aidscoi168]

thanks you for the guidge ( even i think the old method better and easier for user for use ). About the performance i think it's because the legality filter, even check and uncheck the 3 boxes of legality and the show duplitcate icon delay reach to 1sec
