This is (for now) a small tool which helps analysing MTG collections exported as CSV from the brilliant website https://deckstats.net.
To run it you can download it from the release page (there is always a release with the latest code)
and execute it.
Your exported data from deckstats has to be placed inside of the same directory as the executable is.
It is typically called something like collection_000000_0000_0000000000.csv.
When starting the program and importing your collection, the program will take the newest csv inside of the folder of the executable.
You can adjust your preferences in the preferences tab of the application.
For now this project is very experimental. But maybe if I have the time and motivation I will further work on this and make it easier to use and more powerful.
Now you can automatically sort your cards into locations by certain rules. This helps organising your collection and check, if everything is where it should be. You need to include set (often set number) and language so that the cards can be used in the inventory.
To define your location you have to use a json for now, but you will be able to define them inside of the application eventually.
The json is located at ~/.local/share/magic-collection-helper/locations.json (Windows: %appdata%/magic-collection-helper/save/locations.json) and looks like this for me atm:

}Maybe this can help creating your own locations.
To develop I strongly suggest you use VScode and the provided devcontainer. You just need VScode and Docker installed on your machine, the rest is provided inside the devcontainer.
Simply open the cloned folder and VScode should provide you with an option to reopen inside the container in the bottom right corner. If it does not, you can do that manually by triggering the "Rebuild and reopen in devcontainer" option in the "all commands" window (Strg + Shift + P on Windows and Linux).
If Ionide doesn't start, type "dotnet run build" once. Then close VScode and reopen it. After a few reopens this way Ionide should work. I don't know why it struggles lately.
To build the application you can use dotnet run build.
To run the tests you can use dotnet run test.
To run the application you can use dotnet run or the launch configuration of
VScode. The application is run inside a lite-desktop inside the container you can
connect with via VNC (Port 5901).
If you don't have a VNC client installed, you can simply browse to http://localhost:6080
and see the desktop there. The password is "vscode" (for more information on that
see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/blob/main/script-library/docs/desktop-lite.md).
