@ Hemsar: Thanks for your report. I need to code a corrector to allow imports of badly formatted double-sided cards. I will implement this and let you know. Could you provide me with a short extract of the MTG Arena card collection (incl. double-sided cards) so that I can easily develop the automatic corrector? Do you import as a txt file ? Or do you copy/paste the collection is the import panel ?
@ nickman55: Yes,this is because the double-faced card list has to be updated in the Options menu.
I did it for you in release 6.7e. I also updated the booster packs etc. This last version should extract Kaldheim correctly.
@Zirrotik : Sets are added automatically from the Gatherer and Scryfall. If new sets are available there, they will be available in GEx. I usually provide setting updates so that the inclusion of new set parameters (booster package, set legality etc.) is not a user burden. This is what I did in release 6.7d.
@ Grandmaster P : Thank you for your comment. It should be possible. Could you provide an example link to what you want? I'll see how I can add this to the current offered options. I will let you know.
By default, Gatherer Extractor is moslty focused on paper sets, not MTGO sets.
Nevertheless, you can manually create 'The List' set in Options > Sets. Then in the Scryfall table, you add the following entry:
Name: The List (.. or the name you want!)
Scryfall set code: PLIST (with large caps)
Then restart. GEx will detect the new set and ask you for a custom set code (which can the same as the Scryfall one) and a release date. See pictures in attachment for a visual support.
@GopZ : Sets are parsed through the Wizards' gatherer when you connect gatherer extractor to it. It means Zendikar Rising will be available at the moment it is available on the Wizards' gatherer. But at this stage, you will have to manually implement the set codes, booster contents, legality updates, flip cards update etc. Or download the software database update I provide
In addition, you can check from the tool if updates are available. You will be notified with a pop-up when a new update is ready.
NB: In order to avoid a mix-up between ZNR and CZNR, CZNR cards on Scryfall have not had a multiverseID yet. I advide you to wait for the scryfall update, or you will have duplicated cards in ZNR and CZNR. In addition, I invite you to first extract the main data of the two sets, before launching a complete extraction.
I updated GEx. v6.7 is now released.
I added several features :
Sort set to proceed by name, set code or release date
New/updated cards in the extracted-card list are now highlithted (customizable)
Reworked option panel, with the addition of a set panel so as to customize the promo sets from Scryfall. I used to edit manually a related txt file. Now it is editable directly in the software.
Better organized scan panel
Fixed minor bugs. the set list to proceed is no more blinking
NB: I noticed Gatherer offers now regular and promo cards for M21. In order to avoid a mix between M21 and CM21, it is recommended to first extract the main data of the two sets, then extract all data. If you do so, the M21 altered cards (in fact CM21 cards) that are found from the gatherer when parsing the M21 cards will not be changed to M21. They will be updated when parsing the CM21 cards as normal.
@ Adrian: great suggestion. It is not possible at the moment by I can implement it in a next release. However, new sets usually don't have set codes attached to them, and they are highlighted in red in the set list.
@ JeVuY : Thanks for the feedback. They changed something on Scryfall with the "ispromo" tag. So I changed the filters for Collector Booster editions to "not isbooster". You should recover all the cards in Collector Booster editions (CIKO, etc.).
For those interested, sets extracted from Scryfall are listed in /data/AddOn_scryfall_promos.cfg. For each set, you find either a list of Scryfall set codes (in case the set is a collection of small Scryfall sets, like FNM etc.) or a filter, as for CIKO etc.
Please have a look at the Gatherer Extractor new release. The version number is unchanged as I did not modify the program itself. I just updated the AddOn_scryfall_promos.cfg file.
@ Hennel : Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Linux installation, so I cannot guarantee Gatherer Extrator smoothly operates on virtual Windows environments. Gatherer Extractor has been developed for a genuine Windows environment, as it massively relies on the Microsoft .NET framework. Gatherer Extractor is currently developed with Virtual Studio 2019.
However, your problem might come from :
the .NET framework (v4.5) in Wine. Are you sure the framework is well installed and well operates in the Wine environment?
What about the Office Web Component 11 (used to generate outputs in Excel format). Is it correctly installed in the Wine environment?
I did it for you in release 6.7e. I also updated the booster packs etc. This last version should extract Kaldheim correctly.
Enjoy, and stay safe!

It will be added in the next release. Thanks again for the effort!
Have fun!
