(Maybe the moderators could move this thread to the Magic: The Gathering Software section, which is more appropriate. I wasn't able to create a new thread there.)

Thanks for the info and suggestion. New forum created.

You're welcome.

A new version is released:

Version 3.226 (November 11, 2025)

Changes in application:
- MTG Studio takes into account now if Light or Dark theme has been set for the operating system and draws its dialog borders with the corresponding light or dark color.
- MTG Studio will not be UPX compressed any more which would lead smaller memory footprint, slightly faster load time, bigger executable file on disk, less often being reported false positively by malware and anti-virus scanners. Details here https://github.com/gaddlord/mtg.studio/ ... erformance
- Update.exe will download the new installation of a new version in App Data\MTG Studio folder instead of Windows Temp folder since Malware and Anti-virus software report it false positively.
- Added Cards | Lock Collection menu which allows to put your collection in read-only mode to prevent accidental changes.
- Added back "Last Card Id" property to the crash reports for easier troubleshooting.
- Selecting View | Show Columns shows the list of columns (not bands) by default to avoid extra click.
- Added Tools | Options | Grids | Incremental Search setting to control if the incremental search in the grids should be performed with "Starts with" or "Contains within" mode.

I'm making this topic a global announcement for a week or so to increase visibility on the forum. MTG Studio has been around a long time and we appreciate it.
