First, this is an AMAZING app - Thank you for creating it!
I was completely blown away by the amount of detail you built into this.

I just loaded it, and have been looking through the documentation, still learning how it works.
I have a question: is it possible to use a CSV to import a collection? If so, can you explain how to do so?

I'm only a little tech savvy, and could use some assistance. I have a CSV from TCGPlayer app that I used on my phone to scan many, many cards. I can export as a CSV, but am unsure if this will work for your awesome program.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
Have a Great Day,
DS

Thanks for kind words, they give me energy and motivation to do things.

Is it possible to use a CSV to import a collection? If so, can you explain how to do so?

1. Open your csv in
   
   • Excel
   • If you don't have Excel, alternatives are
     
     • Libre Office Calc (Ctrl + C works with a huge delay in Calc, so the clibpoard won't change some 5-10 seonds after you hit Ctrl + C)
       
     • Google Docs: create new Spreadsheet, menu File -> Import -> Upload tab -> Select your csv file
       
     • this webapp
2. Select 2 columns: one with card names, another with quantities, copy selection to clipboard (Ctrl + C)
3. In Mtgdb.Gui use paste menu -> Create collection from clipboard
   or simply hit Alt + V

Done. You should have your collection loaded.
To verify this enable filter by collection in filter manager buttons group
You should only see the cards from your collection in search result.
You may want to clear all other filtering settings that may be hiding your cards, by unchecking all other filter manager buttons except the one that filters by collection, like in screenshot below.

Hello Aidscoi, thanks for reporting the bug! You can update Mtgdb.Gui to the current version, it's fixed already.
The problem you discovered was preventing any card with empty text to be added to the deck.
When adding a card I was checking if card has text "a deck can have any number of cards named ..."
When card text was null, the check was crashing abrupting the whole card addition process.

Hello!
I cannot reproduce it. E.g. I click on `Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker` and see the art.
Artworks take some time to load, wait 30 seconds and try open zoom again.

Also, note, if you use ReadMetadata="True"

Code: Select all

<Directory Path="images\Artworks" Art="True" ReadMetadataFromAttributes="True" />

it slows down loading artwork by a factor x10. Set ReadMetadataFromAttributes="False"

If it does not help, send me a full path to any one artwork file you are expecting to see, your etc\Mtgdb.Gui.xml, and the logs.

Don't know why even the newest version still got same issue, so i send the logs and ect files here. Not single particulary artwork but all artworks not show for me

Thanks again for reporting, aidscoi. I fixed the problem in 2.7.1.3

It was due to a new artwork file with a name ending with a very large number.
While looking up all artwork files the program was trying to figure out the number (like in plains1.jpg) and crashed
because it was like abc_3523593485938.jpg

[aidscoi168]

thanks you, lot of artworks don't have the correct name yet and download from different sources with lot of numbers. I will spend more time checking them.

[hidalgo]

I will spend more time checking them.

I don't think you need to. The app must not crash no matter what name the file is, if it does, then I should fix it.

I type in "any card title here" for a search.

But nothing happens.

It just says "loading keywords" and "pending index load"

Do I have to wait really long or something? I waited for fairly long, still nothing.

Hi, what you observe is some bug, thanks for reporting. Please send me a .zip with files in Mtgdb.Gui\logs directory

Meanwhile I am figuring out the problem with logs, try delete all Mtgdb.Gui\data\index subdirectories and start Mtgdb.Gui.
It has a decent probability to resolve your issue.

That solution worked!
Thank you!

Is there any folder I can delete and reload, to get prices working?
No prices are showing (just 0) in the price bar graph screen, even for cards that have much value.
