OK, the bug is coming from the fact that some converted mana cost are missing (for [GPX] Chrome Mox and [JGC] Mana Crypt). The consequence is that cumulated statistics indefinitely loop because the total amount of cards is never reached in the build of cumulated data. I will add a test to end the "while" loop. I'll fix the database to avoid missing ccm.
thanks for your contribution!
I will fix this in the next release. Until the release, just modify the set of Chrome Mox and Mana Crypt to avoid the bug, or install 0.5c (0.5b with the fix).
Thanks for the gamepack update! Was just starting to organize the new cards and try to figure out what I'm doing for decks. This'll be a huge help. I drew two Ral Zareks in one box and am stoked to finally accept planeswalkers into my life. It's going to be glorious.
Back to topic: No pressure but I was wondering if you had any idea when you might be shooting for the next release update of The Vault? Looking forward to easier handling/organization of the sets in filter. A new thought as well, what do you think of adding a synergize button to the deck builder side? Player customized so that when you select a card and click synergize it brings up a list of all the cards that you (the player) told it worked well together in the past. I know I have some trouble remembering them all. =P Might be useful if the right-click dialogue included 'set synergize' while card browsing incase something occurs to you/us and we want to compare and mull over those cards together later on.
I downloaded extractor for pics, and the pics but still cannot get them to load on the vault. The default is all that will show. Help?
*Also, why do cards from multiple sets only show up for the most recent set? Like Oona Queen of the Fae?
* Is there a way to add more pricing options from like, Star City Gaming?
* Despite the price alter checked, my foils don't seem to have a different price compared to my normal near mint - non foils.
I can answer some of these questions for you, and also maybe ask a few of my own questions.
The extractor depending on how you set it to extract the card images from Gatherer are probably in the format of .full.jpg which you will need to need to tell the vault to use .full.jpg images. I had to change under the card scans setting in options the extension to .full.jpg and all my card arts appeared, as i tried many times to get it to load then found the setting goofed.
The vault pry uses the most recent set by default because it's release is the closest to the date that you are entering the card.
As for adding additional prices, i dunno if he would be able to but would be something i would greatly appreciate. For getting your foils and that to not have the same pricing as the regular non-foil version you would have to go into option go to card pricing and there is a list of card conditions with the names of each and the -% or +% you will have to tweak those at the foil level to get it to +% to the value of the foil card.
Now i also have been having some issues with the vault and it just did it again for me just a few moments ago when i use the save collection after adding a whole bunch of cards, and close the collection it does not save the collection at all when i reload it only a few cards are in there. I had close to 500 cards already entered in, and have not had the chance to work on it for a few day now today i get on to work with it some more and low and behold it shows that i only have 13 cards in the collection.
I have also notice that when you reopen a collection the values seem to be real wonky such as Kozilek, butcher of truth mint non-foil at $3446.00 or a bunch of the tron lands showing values of $450.00. i dunno if i have a setting wrong or what is going on but i would greatly love to use this software more to have a better inventory of my collection.
Also a feature that would be really cool to add especially for those of us who trade cards and the like is having the ability to add at what cost we acquired the cards, allowing us to better manage price changes and trade changes. Just a feature that i think would be kind of cool to add to the software/collection management.
thanks for the prompt response and really do love this software.
HMMMMM Check your setting in the extractor software to see how it is loading the card arts... also check to make sure you have in vault that you have your Scans direct set to the location where you scans are located.

Hello, and congratulations on the amazing work, my friend and I, keep easy track of our collection with this, its been really useful.
1- ¿How about a "booster maker" feature?, something that randomly chooses cards in your collection to make a random booster, as we, and i'm pretty sure many other people, play drafts and the like with our cards, it will be a pretty nice option.
2 - ¿How about a couple more keyboard macros? Something like Ctrl+a or just Enter to add a card to collection, or del to take it out. (I think those are pretty much the most common actions one can use).
Hope this is not very selfish. And thank you for your awesomeness.
First of all thanks for the great software.
Now for my question. Is there a way to export a collection to either excel or csv? More importantly can I export a collection with an extra "Price" column? Export to html with this column would be fine but to excel or csv would be better because then I could manipulate the prices with formula.
I could create a collection and print it out like a price sheet so it's easier for other traders to see what cards I have on offer and what the price is.
Great software! One thing I stumbled with: I am unable to save my collection. If I save and then reopen a collection, all saved cards are gone and the collection is empty just as If I created a new one. I don't have this issue with saving decks, there it works perfectly.
I am using Win 7, and Vault 0.5c and also tried it on a second computer with the same result...
Can you open the collection file with Notepad ? you have data into it or it is an empty file ?
If the file is not empty, may you please send me the file ? I'll check what is wrong with it...

Well, I'm new to this forum and did not find a way to send attachments through PM. I guess this is not possible here?
It's just a test collection, therefore it's not that big. I opened the file, and it is not empty. I thought it would be the easiest way to post the content of the .tvc file in the spoiler below:
If I open this and also other collection files with version 0.5c, It just shows me an empty collection...
M14 Gamepack from July 14th is of course also installed.
OKAY !
If you have a complete tvc file, it means your collection is corrected saved.
The problem is consequently when the program is parsing the file.
I can open it without problem on my installation.
But your problem reminds me a similar problem from another user. This is my fault, because months ago, I provided by mistakes a Gampack with all my settings embedded instead of default settings, which may be at the origin of some bugs...
What I suggest to restore the original installation is to delete all the files in the following folder:
[Installation Folder for The Vault]/games/Magic the Gathering/data/settings/
This should work without a complete uninstalling/reinstalling The Vault and the GamePack for MTG.
Please let me know if it is OK for you after this.

Well, I just downloaded the Vault two days ago, before I did not have any installation of it on my system. I just used the most recent installation you provide in Post 1.
What I suggest to restore the original installation is to delete all the files in the following folder:
[Installation Folder for The Vault]/games/Magic the Gathering/data/settings/
Okay, tried this on my primary system, but unfortunately it did not work out.
I also reinstalled .Net Framework and OWC just in case. As it still did not work out, I reinstalled the Vault but even after erasing all data in the mentioned folder, it still gives me an empty collection...
EDIT: I have tried it on the second system now, wih the exact same results. Still all collections I open are empty.
Well this is very problematic, as I can't reproduce the bug on my computer.
I don't know what is going wrong exactly, and I don't know where to search... I don't see what can raise an error during a collection loading...
I would need to debug the program on your computer but how...?
Did you save your collection in a special file with special names containing special characters ? what language are you using for the Interface?
It sounds very weird you experience such a bug on a brand new install of the program. None of my customers has reported such a problem yet.
Did you save your collection in a special file with special names containing special characters ? what language are you using for the Interface?
Well, there are no special characters, only small and capital letters. I tried it with small letters only, but there I have still the same problem. The used language is english with the default theme so far.
None of my customers has reported such a problem yet.
Yea, that's exactly my thought, if there were some serious problems with the release, other users would have noticed.
Actually, I really don't know what I am doing wrong, I am quite familiar with informatics and computer stuff, but this seems to exceed my knowledge. I really don't know. Maybe I'll just wait for another release and try it then again? I have no better idea...
First, thanks for the program, it's extremely well done and is probably going to replace MWS for my deckbuilding needs.
I've noticed a very small bug : the program lists Blind Obedience as illegal in a U/W Commander deck, probably because of the hybrid symbol in the reminder text, whereas the Reminder text doesn't count for color identity (the color identity of Blind Obedience is white).
1/ version 0.5d is released ! Some minor bugs have been fixed. yak300, please tell me if you can open your collections. CorwinB, everything should be OK now with Extort reminders.
2/ MTG Gamepack is now updated up to Theros !
All the links for download are available in the first post.
I made an account just to thank you for this software chaudakh. It's really awesome and I hope you continue to develop it! Thank you so much for posting it.

Now I just need to know if there is a place where I can download all the card pictures in one go? Or do I have to extract them all from the gathering?
Sort by the column headings? My collection is by the set numbers. That would be sweet
