it will be done soon.
I will add something to compute card legality in every format (including non-official format such as Peasant Magic, Pauper Magic etc)
The problem is from your xml_export_cards.cfg in the data/settings folder. The id_back column is not mentioned in the old versions of this file. You can delete it and a clean one will be regenerated, or you can reinstall the program. I've just added clean xml_export_cards.cfg in the settings folder in the current release.
New release of the 3.3 version. Double-faced cards are now supported : www.mediafire.com/?3akc6mtapnar2
If you find somehow bugs, feel free to report them here ^^
The Extractor update is almost ready. Does anyone have an idea about extracting the back-face colors. It seems they are missing both on the gatherer and magiccards.info. examples :
I noticed both ISD lists from the Gatherer and magiccards.info contain the 2 faces of the double-faced cards in 2 different entries, with 2 different multiverseID.
I make easy the download of data and cardscans. But I don't know now if you guys do want a single entry for both side of double-faced cards or not.
I find it much more easy to add a column that store the other face's multiverseID, and let the 2 entries for the 2 faces. It is much more general in this way. I would prefer adding an option to ask if double-faced cards must be gathered or not.
I was expecting problems with double-faced cards, as I didn't know how they would be implemented in the gatherer. Now the implementation has been revealed, it will be much easier to extract data. I won't add entry for transformed card. I will add a column which collect multiverseID of the transformed card, and separate all data in capa with a splitter mark. I was using // for flipped card. I'll find something else for transformed card, in order not to be confused with flipped cards.
I need now to fix the extractor. New release probably on Monday, as I won't be available for coding this week-end.
I prefer individual sets as well. It is much more suitable for the extractor because it gets data by set. I'm OK to code alerts when card name is misspelt, but I suggest you something else in what follows. Downloading a txt file like in your example should be pretty fast, as the list size should be as big as the text spoiler size, ie about 100 Ko.
I suggest to add a GUID table download after having downloaded the spoiler list from Wizards' gatherer, it should take about max 2 seconds. I will add a GUID column (hidden or not) to store the corresponding GUID for each entry in the dataset (displayed in the datagridview). Instead of an alert, I can add a filter in the filter combobox to show only cards without GUIDs. This would be an easy way for you to detect misspellings in your database.
What about new sets ? Should I keep the GUIDs generator or users will have to wait for you to update your online GUID database, in order not to mess everything up with your own GUID database ?
I'm OK for recoding the OCTGN exportation subroutine.
May you please link me the GUID database ? (I do prefer solution #1, which seems to be the cleaner one). I'll recode it as soon as possible. I'll add the multiple set exportation too, as requested.
yep, I don't forget it, but I would need some more time to implement it and to test it. I'm currently back from vacation, and I released today the work I did before holidays...
NetDraft exportation will be available soon. I will PM you if I need more information about NetDraft format.

After the feedback I left, WotC added a "color indicator" for back-face cards. I'll add the color extraction to the new release ^^
EDIT : it should be fixed now : http://www.mediafire.com/?3akc6mtapnar2

Thanks
I'll update the .exe
Here is the html code from the gatherer for flavor text of [M12] Flashfreeze:
You may see that the italic markers are bugged too. The bug comes from the gatherer itself. I will add a patch to replace "
For flipped cards, I'll fixed it right now, and let you know when it will be ok.
Edit : All those things should be fixed in the 3.2.1 version I've just released. Please let me know it is ok for you guys.
NetDraft exportation will be available soon. I will PM you if I need more information about NetDraft format.
Thank you very much !
Version 3.2 has been released. Minor bugs fixed and minor addings in the version, because of vacation. Feel free to suggest options etc.
