If you dont do that it would at least be nice to see your trade binder in a more organized fashion and sort it alphabetically and have the options to view it by grid or list like you do if you just click on trade binder instead of going through the magic binders first. Not really sure you have them setup differently anyway?

1. Because WotC does not provide complete list, nor database. They are not even consistent on Gatherer, their codes for expansion symbols do not match their own codes. Having said that, most of iMtG codes match.

Not true. There is a three letter code assigned to every set by wotc. See the list here:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Magic:_The_Gathering_sets

You can sort your binders already.

The list you linked is not comprehensive. Show me FNM promos there? Do I really have to point you to 'none' codes on this list?

NyghtHawk

You can't sort the binders when you go through magic binders first unless I'm missing something? It only let's you sort if you go directly to trade binder first but then you can't designate foils and such. I could be missing something but I don't see it.

And the codes I understand what you're saying about promos and special stuff but all of the sets have codes. I know about the special stuff but that wasn't my point as they aren't expansions which is what I said the list showed which is the majority of magic cards....special crap is the exception.

Piotr

In binder settings you can set its sorting.

NyghtHawk

Ok. That's a bit confusing but I got it. You cant change the view though like you can if you went directly to the binder. I guess I really don't get why you made it different depending how you view the binder. Seems like it would be much easier and streamlined if you made it the same for both and didn't have do many extra steps to designate foils and stuff.

Anyway the codes I still think would be better if you used the official ones for the sets and use whatever you want for the random ones like fnm, etc like you do now.

Either way just suggestions. Love the program.

iMtG is an evolving thing, no worries.

Piotr, could you post a recent version of your expansion CSV file?  In the past 4 years, WotC has been printing expansions like mad.
