OK, so I lied. I wrote a perl script to do the file copying for me. Running it from the same directory as Sets.csv will (mostly) do it.

Code: Select all

#! perl -w

use strict;
use File::Copy;
use File::Glob ':glob';
use File::Path;

my $from = "C:/Games/Magic Workstation/Pics"; # no trailing slash!!
my $to = "C:/Games/Magic Album/Images"; # no trailing slash!!

open FILE, "<Sets.csv" or die "$!\n";
my @lines = <FILE>;
close FILE;

for my $line (@lines) {
  my @fields = split /\t/, $line;
 
  if (defined($fields[-1]) && $fields[-1] !~ /^\s*$/) {
    my $set = $fields[1];
    my $dir = $fields[-1];
    $set =~ s/[^A-Za-z0-9_\-\\\/ ]//g;
    $dir =~ s/[^A-Za-z0-9_\-\\\/ ]//g;
    $dir =~ s/\\/\//g;
    chomp($dir);
   
    if (-e "$from\\$set") {
      my $sd = "$from/$set";
      my $src = "$from/$set/*.*";
      my $dest = "$to/$dir";
      print "$src => $dest\n";
     
      mkpath("$dest", {verbose => 1});
      my @filelist = bsd_glob($src);
      foreach my $fn (@filelist) {
        $fn =~ s/^.*\///;
        my $sn = $fn;
        $fn =~ s/\.full//;
        print "$sd/$sn => $dest/$fn\n";
        copy("$sd/$sn", "$dest/$fn");
      }
    }
  }
}

Hello,

Thanks

Good Morning,

I have been adding my cards into this app, it looks quite promising, easy interface, filters.

After adding a couple of sets i went to do a "Missing" cards query. It seems the app is hard coded to 8 cards, is there a way to change this value ?

I also though i could simply export to csv and use speadsheet (OO) but there is no export to csv feature .

Exporting to CSV would be ultimately the most useful feature so anybody who is using the app is not "Locked in". For a collector, Album is better than MWS, however as it is right now i'm not sure if i want to continue using it to catalog all my cards.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Adam.

Hmm. It's a bug. It should show the real number of missed cards.

You want to export inventory as CSV, do you? What fields should be exported?

If it is not asking too much... :-) Card Name-Unicode (nice) Card Name-Ascii (Nice) Collector Number (Must) Set (Must) Qty Regular (Must) and Qty Foil (seeing as you went to all that trouble, Must)

I believe this would be the minimum required if you needed(wanted) to migrate to a different format, Unless i am wrong :-)

Nevermind. I've found the bug myself.

Card Name-Ascii? Waht do you mean? Original english name of the card?

[FrontLineFodder]

Great, Thanks

Off the Top of my head i can't remember what Album uses, There is the "English" card names, then there are the names with the accented characters, If Album knows both brilliant, Some tools / web sites will use Standard English (A-Z) while others will use the names with the accented characters eg (Æther Spellbomb)
