9. Using custom images

I already have card images somewhere on my PC. How do I make Mtgdb.Gui use them?

Prerequisites

  • Understanding XML syntax and how to comment and uncomment XML sections.
  • A good text editor with XML syntax highlighting and syntax validation. Personally I use Notepad++.
  • If the points above contain a lot of unfamiliar words to you, then don't continue, it's not worth it :) Use update window instead.

Solution

Edit the configuration file \etc\Mtgdb.Gui.xml. You will find more details in XML comments within the file.

Using www.slightlymagic.net card image collections

  • Open etc\Mtgdb.Gui.xml
  • Find the section <ImageLocations>
  • Read the comments above commented <Directory /> tags. There you will find a download link and a brief description of images to be downloaded.
  • Uncomment the <Directory /> tags you want
  • Download images to the location specified in <Directory Path="..." />

You can also setup <ImageLocations> <Directory /> tags to use your custom images.
