Mtgdb.Gui: search MTG cards, build decks, manage collection

Can we not include the part inside "(" and ")" in cardname read ? like (content) : Thoughtseize(16x20 Oil on Masonite).jpg

[hidalgo]

What about

Code: Select all

some card name.[artist John Doe][set ISD,SOW,AER][Size 1024x768].jpg

As a side effect we can someday get rid of the attributes (my apologize for introducing them ) as they already make loading artworks ~4 slower than regular images despite the amount of files is ~10 times less.

So as i understand, all other infomations will be inside [ ] ? the set infomation alway need even for card just not appear again in different sets or have different artworks or just the card name is enough ( avoid lot of actions for artwork arrange treantment ) ? the size you mention in the example is to tell program not scale the lq artwork to the default size for artwork or something ( so user will know which artwork still lq and can help me to find better quality artwork )? How about the artwork show in many sets ? will be [Set XXX] [Set YYY] ... and so on ?

The naming method is not a big deal with batch rename

[hidalgo]

the size you mention in the example is to tell program not scale the lq artwork to the default size for artwork or something

I don't know what did I put the size for. Just to show that any data looks better in square brackets

[Set XXX] [Set YYY]

I suggest [Set XXX,YYY] as it is faster. Do not do it manually, I will teach Mtgdb.Util.exe to do the renaming copying data from Artist and Tags Attribute to the file name.

[aidscoi168]

So i will keep the old method of add infomations in attribute and upload file to mega, then the upcoming Mtgdb.Gui after download artwork images will rename to new setting for get the faster load artworks ? We still need the naming method if want to keep infomation about the real size and medium as i suggest not messing up with current rules

[hidalgo]

Released v1.3.5.20, should exclude .[some metadata]. from cardname now

I tested a rule renaming

Code: Select all

Thoughtseize. 16x20 Oil on Masonite.jpg

to

Code: Select all

Thoughtseize.[16x20 Oil on Masonite].jpg

[aidscoi168]

So exactly " .[info]. " or have space like your sample ?

[hidalgo]

I expect that space is not necessary. Both

Code: Select all

Thoughtseize.[16x20].jpg
Thoughtseize.[Size 16x20].jpg

should be interpreted as Thoughtseize

[aidscoi168]

I think the rules not ready for this release yet ? i try several artwork and different in naming ( add space, dot or remove ..ect ) but the app not show the artwork.

[hidalgo]

I just tried with Thoughtseize.[16x20 Oil on Masonite].jpg and it works
Maybe you try to zoom a card right after restarting the program? In this case you may get no artwork because they load additional 10 seconds.

Also the images are only searched after program startup. Any renamings you do later will only take effect after restarting

mtgjson already update Amonkhet set

[hidalgo]

Tanks!
Good to feel my program has grown enough to deal with it by itself

[hidalgo]

• Added temporary images, both small and zoomed, for AKH and MPS_AKH sets. The images were downloaded using Gatherer extractor. To get a zoomed version waifu2x command-line utility was applied to original images. Then both small and zoomed images were added a black frame.
• Supported flip cards from AKH set (like Heaven/Earth) naming to find matching images.

AHK and MPS_AHK cards

As allways you can upgrade using 'Update' window from whithin Mtgdb.Gui

NOTE: pricing and translations to non-english languages for AKH and MPS_AKH sets are still not available.
