Title: Help with importing MTGO-files
Post by: Mindblank on March 12, 2012, 12:19:50 PM
Hello, I have some problems importing from MTGO. I'll try to explain as clearly as possible.

I'm trying to use iTunes to import a deck from MTGO. I save the deck in MTGO and put it on my desktop. Then I've dropped the file into the iMTG app in iTunes.

Then I open the app on my phone, go to the deck builder/import from iTunes, but nothing happens.

The weird thing is that if I click on "import from Dropbox" in the app on my phone, you can see that the app in iTunes starts filling up with decks.

These decks show up in the deck builder in the app!!!
Also I notice that the file format is different (my was .dek, while the decks I got when hitting download from dropbox are .dec)

What am I doing wrong here?
Where do all the decks come from when I hit import from drop box?

I hope I made some sense :)

Cheers and thanx for an awsome app.

Mtgo uses a different format of deckbuilding unfortunately you will have to manually recreate your deck in imtg

Oh :( Being able to import from MTGO would have been really helpful.

Nothing wrong, .dec is a text format originally used by Apprentice, and .dek is xml format completely different from it. Not supported but on my TODO. If someone would point me in a general direction of a list of MTGO cards id to name map file, it would speed up things considerably ;)

The decks you imported are coming from your Dropbox, iMtG would traverse the whole of your account and try to import all .dec files. Makes upgrading from Decked a walk in a park ;)
