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

[hidalgo]

* Fixed highlighting word parts in search result that actually do not match search because of wildcards
* Fixed application startup crash in v1.35.5.32 - if you upgraded to 1.3.5.32 run executable from any prior version e.g bin\v1.3.5.31\Mtgdb.Gui.exe to upgrade to v1.3.5.33

Great to hear this!

By the way I was remembering you today when accedently found an artwork zooming some random card when testing new search. Artworks are such a pleasure to an eye, it was really a great idea, adiscoi! The beauty is going to save the world

Changed the way wildcard search results are highlighted
Now whe searching s??????????n the entire word Subterranean will be higlighted.
Previously only starting and traling would be highlighted: Subterranean

i love the artworks of Mtg so much, some artist render in realistic way that make the game become real to me ( i'm blue mage type LOL ). Thanks you for help me share the love to other mtg player.
ps : still waiting one day we can have a movie about magic, the worlds are so good, also other designs.

Further improved wildcard term higlighting.
query s??????????n results in whole 'Subterranean' highlighted with
'S' and 'n' emphasized so they can be visually distinguished from the rest of the word.

[hidalgo]

• Considered Lucene syntax escaping\unescaping when higlighting search result and selecting intellisense value
• Increased intellisense recall to make it more fuzzy like it was before using Lucene.
  NOTE: As a consequence when first running this version full-text index is rebuilt (partially).

Side deck supported, as promised

• Use main deck/sideboard tab headers to switch between deck areas
• Drag the card to a desired deck tab header to change deck area before dropping

Hi, i found my history file is almost 100mb, i'm not afraid of HDD space for this file but want to know what make it that large and you said the infomation of collection also store in this file and all other files of other tabs. Can we split infomation of collection into a file separate from these history files and take control of how many step Mtgdb.Gui store the history log to limit the file size ?

Can we split infomation of collection into a file separate from these history

Good question. I will think how to undo\redo for adding\removing to collection in case when it's history is separated.

and take control of how many step Mtgdb.Gui store the history log

You are right. 100 MB is too much, I think this huge size makes startup, undo and redo too slow. I will put a setting into config to control how many undo's are allowed.

[hidalgo]

• Limiting Undo/redo history depth saved to file
  
  • The change only affects possibility of undo/redo after restarting. While using the program the undo/redo possibility is not limited in depth.
  • The amount of saved actions is limited by a setting <Undo MaxDepth="1000" /> in configuration file etc\Mtgdb.Gui.xml
  • After restarting you will not be able to do more than 1000 (or other number specified in config) undo or redo actions saved before you restarted the program
  • The formatting of history file is slightly changed to reduce it's size.
• Decreased delay of showing tooltip when hovering on text in search result.
• Not showing tooltip with all card information when hovering on card image.
• Added 'donate' button in form header.

[hidalgo]

• Fixed crash on loading most recent cards data from mtgjson.com due to Loyalty 'X' instead of number
• Rebuilding full-text index after updating AllSets-x.json from Update window
• Showing progress when rebuilding full-text index

Do you think we can combine the app with DotP 2014 Deck Builder and the Communitywad mod database ( the huge mod for Duels of planewalkers 2014 ) to export desk support Communitywad ? Lot of member in this forum using it along with Xmage, Forge ..ect. the deck file for deskbuilder also xml file and get other infomations from wad file, edit some element before export to wad deck file. Do you think we can combine 2 apps, Mtgdb.Gui help Deskbuilder find the cards then user just open that file to export to wad ?

Posted here a modified version of Riiak's DotP 2014 Deck Builder to allow saving/loading deck in Forge format which you can edit in Mtgdb.Gui

Don't even expect that you still keep my idea about help Deck Builder working with Mtgdb.Gui ( like the idea about image/artwork downloader haha ). i've test the other way that open Forge deck create by Mtgdb.Gui in deck builder ( the new one by you ) and it working good, if the mod community can manage to have just 1 version of each card ( the best one ) and success in code all cards ( i will test with some impossible card atm to see if deckbuilder confuse with the cardlist or not ) then the flow between 2 apps is really good. You are the hero !!
