I am trying to use some more bookmarks to try and maintain my Cube directly through iMtG. One of the biggest snags I've hit is that in needing to make a large number of bookmarks, they are not backed up. I work off of both my iPad and my iPhone. I really want to be able to have my bookmarks maintained in dropbox like my binders and Decks.

On a note like this, I would love it if you could start including gatherer ID in the .imtgbackup files. I've attempted to work with the files before on my local machine and not having an id to an external db makes that much harder.

Gatherer id is mostly useless because of missing expansions there.

Well, I humbly disagree. I am looking for into on the card, such as converted mana cost, type, and the like. The easiest way to get that information is from the gatherer. If you instead added the path to the magiccardinfo url, or even just the card name, I could use that info to do enough cross reference to get this information. Currently I can't do that with the data provided in the imtbackup files.

Any input on the bookmark saving idea.

Well then we will have to agre to disagree. I believe the solution to your problem is http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=card;name=Wrath%20of%20God;expansion=al not Gatherer.

If I remember correctly, not bad at all ;)

How would I use your imtgBackup files saved to my dropbox to correlate the data from my binder to a card?

Would that work for you, if it worked? http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=card;number=58;expansion=8e
Yes! That would absolutely be the type of correlation information I am looking for.
