MECCG Auto Card Editor — v0.60.36

This release focuses on personal card creation, persistent card management, and rendering improvements.

New — Personal Card Library

• Save your custom cards permanently in a personal library, with automatically assigned ACE-001, ACE-002, etc. identifiers.
• Find and reopen cards by name or identifier, including cards from the existing MECCG catalog.
• Create custom cards from existing ones by opening a catalog card as an editable starting point.
• Save or Replace: save an existing personal card as a new creation or replace its previous version while keeping its identifier.
• Personal cards and their artwork are stored separately from the installed application, helping preserve them during updates.
• The personal card library is maintained in an Excel workbook that can be opened for browsing and filtering.

New — Generate Your Personal Card Set

• Added Personal Cards to the set generation options.
• Generate saved ACE cards using the existing generation workflow and filters.
• Export personal cards in their saved languages, in PNG or SVG format.
• Generated files are grouped automatically in an ACE subfolder within the selected output directory.

Card Editor Improvements

• Improved text rendering: bold, italic, and bold-italic formatting are preserved in PNG exports.
• Improved text alignment in card previews.
• Keywords and rules text now remain on the same line whenever space permits.
• Manually entered line breaks are preserved.
• Improved the handling of inline symbols and surrounding text.
• Increased the size of the copyright notice for better readability.

New — Number and Gender Fields

• Added a clickable number cell to the card's side column.
• Enter a custom number from 0 to 99, or randomly generate one from 2 to 12.
• Added a separate optional gender-symbol cell for applicable card types.
• Both fields are reflected in previews and exports.

Usability and Reliability

• Reorganized personal card saving into a dropdown menu.
• Improved default filenames and export-folder selection.
• Improved compatibility with Windows filenames containing special characters.
• Fixed UTF-8 output handling during personal set generation on Windows.

Installation Notes

• Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• The installers are currently unsigned and remain under validation.
• Windows SmartScreen or macOS Gatekeeper may display a security warning.
• Windows 7 is not supported.

Feedback Welcome

This is still an evolving community project.

Bug reports, rendering issues, suggestions, and feature requests are always welcome through the application's built-in feedback system.

Thank you to everyone helping improve MECCG Auto Card Editor!

MECCG Auto Card Editor — v0.60.35

• Moved diagnostics to Settings as Activity log, with an Activity log and diagnostics window title translated into all six interface languages.
• Added Information, Warning and Error levels while preserving technical details. Temporary service outages are reported as warnings with an explanation and retry guidance.
• Preserved activity history when starting another generation and removed the generation and cancellation buttons from Settings.
• Preserved the original proportions of site symbols in the personal card editor, symbol pickers and previews.
• Separated site type and optional MP editing areas and enabled explicit site MP values in previews and exports.
• Added Open folder to personal card creation, opening the last successful export folder or the configured output folder.
• Added a region-symbol legend with the corresponding input letters to the Site path editor.
• Scaled the Linux editor using the display DPI at startup and added a manual override for high-density displays that report 100% scaling.

The installers are unsigned. Windows may show a SmartScreen warning, and macOS may show a Gatekeeper warning. The Windows package requires a newer version of Windows than Windows 7.

MECCG Auto Card Editor — v0.60.31

MECCG AUTO CARD EDITOR — v0.60.31

Combined changes from versions 0.60.24 through 0.60.31.

• New blue-brush application icon for windows, executables and installers.
• Windows executable renamed to meccgACE.exe, where ACE stands for “Auto Card Editor”.
• Improved Windows icons in title bars, the taskbar and shortcuts. Twelve native sizes, from 16 to 256 pixels, improve rendering at different display scaling settings.
• Transparent Configuration panel across all themes, in both light and dark modes. The scenery remains visible between controls.
• Removed the outer Configuration scrollbar. Filters and scenery stay fixed. In “Specific card” mode, the card list adjusts to the available window height and retains its own scrolling.
• Improved text readability over the scenery, using styles consistent with the deck builder. The Shire’s Configuration heading now uses red text with a green shadow.
• Simplified header: only the version number is displayed, without the “Ready” status or separator, in every interface language.
• Removed the redundant red card-selection prompt. Card selection is still validated before generation.
• Corrected the capitalization of “Adversidades” in Spanish menu entries.
