    Noticed that Commander edition is absent in the list of set codes + Planechase 2012 has two records in the list (one with set code PC2 and the second is empty).

    How about these enchantments - Burgeoning, Exploration, Gaea's Touch?

    Also nice creatures - Elvish Aberration, Wirewood Guardian, Krosan Tusker.

    PS: Please also check the card names in the first post! It's really hard and annoying to click on link and found that the card is not found in database! Approximately 25% of your cards in the first post have mistakes in name ...

    1M) Add predefined \ configurable templates for selecting sets in the list (Standard, Extended, All Promos, All normal sets etc.). Would be really useful for people using this software a lot. Right now it is required to select all sets manually.

    That's true. It's easy to do for Format, as format are defined from the corresponding cfg files. The problem is to identify automatically what is a "promo" set and what is a "normal" set. the only solution seems to define manually which sets are promo etc. Exactly in the same way format are defined...

    Hi again, really nice and useful software for those who using it in purposes of managing MTG collections or mtg-sellers. The below is wishlist of enhancements which would be very important for people.

    New bugs:
    - When I am trying to get Full data for Unhinged (or Unglued, don't remember exactly) the process is stopped on the first card and interrupted. Not sure what happens.

    Critical priority enhancements:
    1C) Add two new buttons "Download all data + prices" \ "Download all data + prices + Download scans". It will take for few hours to download information about cards and usually it would be done at night in background so it good to do everything in one click.
    2C) Add option to export in Excel-file with possibility to choose which fields needs to be exported. From my experience a lot of people managing collections there and it's de-facto program to use with MTG (me as well!). Right now CSV-file can be used for this but it has a lot extra data \ separators and I need to do a lot of things before the data in excel would look nice.
    3C) Add pricing for FOIL cards. That is really important.

    Medium priority enhancements:
    1M) Add predefined \ configurable templates for selecting sets in the list (Standard, Extended, All Promos, All normal sets etc.). Would be really useful for people using this software a lot. Right now it is required to select all sets manually.
    2M) Add "remove\validate data which is not downloaded fully" possibility. As example, I download few sets including Unhinged\Unglued (see bug on top) and process was interrupted. The system filled table with card information for the first card and left all other cards for this set as empty. Lets say when I click "remove\validate data" the data in table for the set will be erased and set would not be marked as green in the sets list.
    3M) Option to delete information for particular set(s) in the table + unmark set as green in the sets list. Right now I see only button Reset Database which clears all data!

    Low priority enhancements:
    1L) Options menu should be as dropping down menu as all others. Not user friendly now.
    2L) Columns in the table should be configurable (option to hide \ revive some of them - as example I don't need information of card in other languages)
    3L) Add automatic software update option in menu.

    Few questions:
    1) Is it possible to calculate pricing from Star City Games?
    2) How you determinate the price now?
    3) Please estimate which enhancement you can include and when in the software. Actually I am working as Software Testing Engineer and could help you with testing the program. Hope to see all these enhancements! The program would be really cool!

    BUG in program -
    When I am trying to sort by price the results are incorrect. The system is taking into account only first number and ignores if it's more than 10 or 100 etc...

    97.68
    9.55
    8.75
    76.15
    67.24
    66.42
    61.85
    6.97
    etc.
