Hey Gos, it looks like the package in the first post got replaced by today's update.

By the way, are you still considering including set names in the filenames of these decks? I really liked Otherright's naming convention, and I could easily throw up a zip which also includes the recent additions and punctuation changes.

Thanks again for doing all this!

Thank you and fixed.

I'm still considering changing the naming convention somehow, although I'm not really close to any conclusion. As I've stated before, I would really like adding metadata to the dck files, possibly including name, name of deck builder, name of deck player, format, color, set (for preconstructed decks), date played, event played at, placing in event, etc..., along with the ability to filter and sort on these attributes within the game. This would of course require some development work

Another possibility would be to let forge look for dck files in all subdirectories of the current deck directory (recursively, of course).
Pros:
1) In general, a directory structure is a better way of organizing files than a naming convention, especially when the files number in the thousands. Also, people receive decks from numerous sources, and even though they may receive a majority from my work, it is difficult to enforce a naming convention.
2) I imagine this would be easy to implement.
Cons: Can't think of any.

It might also be possible to reflect the subdirectory structure in the "Select player's deck" select box, although this might clash with the metadata idea for filtering and sorting.
