Hey, did this get figured out yet? I have the five foil Godzilla lands now, but can't seem to find them anywhere in the card database here. Who's responsible for adding new cards like the Secret Lair series? I'd do it myself but have no clue how. Thanks!

Addendum: yeah, MA mislabeled some set or other as "Masters Edition III", which is the online-only one. Now I just have to figure out which set they're actually from, and I'm gold.

Yeah, it was duplicating the split/flip/transform cards.
Online-only: Curious. I didn't ever list online-only cards in MA, since I don't actually play online (actually I just started Arena two days ago to play with a friend, but before that, never). But I think those one might be "Modern Masters" cards, judging by the label on the physical card and in Deckbox. But I can just manually reenter those ten cards.
Thank you so much for all your work on this! I was despairing over having spent so much time entering the collection over the years, only to have it collapse on me. You're a life(and time)saver!

OK, I tried again (and remembered to hit the "Add file" button this time) and it said:
"Warning! The following errors must be corrected before your message can be posted:
The server was unable to save the uploaded file. Please contact the forum administrator at admin@deckbox.org."
Assuming that means it doesn't take XMLs, I made a dropbox link. Here ya go:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/te08gwqiofuov9j/main.xml?dl=0
Now THAT should work. But I shouldn't jinx it.

AWESOME. I actually tried to update MA to 1.5 before (and I think I even put it in workspace, coincidentally) but it didn't take for whatever reason. First it didn't come with a JRE so I had to copy/paste it from my old MA install, and then the new one did load up said something about a fatal handshake alert, and it wouldn't load any card art or update to the new sets past 2017 (last time I put any time into it).
Attached is (I hope) the xml file you're looking for. Thanks again for all your help!

Re: Import from Magic Assistant (12 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Cool! That would be amazing. What type of file would it be in the Magic Assistant folder? You know, like .ini, or .exe or whatever? I'm not entirely sure what the backed up database of cards is called, but there are a limited number of files so I could probably find the right one by file type.

Topic: Import from Magic Assistant (12 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Hi guys,
New to the site, so please bear with me if this has been asked. I used to catalog my card collection with Magic Assistant (off of Source Forge) but it hasn't been updating lately -- nothing from Spark or M20, or a few others -- and all attempts to reinstall have failed. So, I'm looking to re-inventory here on Deckbox. Thing is, I'd rather not enter 10k cards one at a time, so I'm wondering if anyone has experience importing from Magic Assistant.
Thanks for the help!
