The result of all this naming is that all different zip files can exist in the same folder, and be unzipped into the same folder, and there is no need to overwrite or choose between them, and this without bringing any added complexity to the arrangement.
Now, all archives are identified by contents: So, you couldn't have zipped crops and zipped fulls in the same place, and the only way to tell the difference between one 4ED.zip and another 4ED.zip (without looking at which folder they were in) was to look at the contents.
In the previous torrent all sets were named the same and identified by folder. With the next update, which will likely include sets like Promos that are not accounted for on Gatherer, I'll have to figure out something. Not every set has a Gatherer code, but this first torrent update only includes the sets that do. I don't think Gatherer even existed before. Now everything has a three-letter set code that corresponds to Gatherer, So Alpha becomes Limited Edition Alpha = LEA. Previously, I used whatever Magic Workstation was using, which means Alpha was "A", and there were a lot of two-letter set codes as well.
Now there is a unique four letter identifier for every card type: So if you tried to unzip XLHQs into the same folder as tiny fun crops, you had to choose one or the other, or keep them in separate directories. Until now only crops and fulls were uniquely identified in the file name of the pic. The capitalization on our cards is likewise inconsistent. I didn't have too many corrections to make here, but I did have to make some, since capitalization has changed over the years. Otherwise users will have to rename cards to support each software, which means lots of different sets floating around, which is confusing and wastes bandwidth. If you write software which uses these pics, please consider supporting these changes. I have implemented many changes to this new torrent.Ī lot of the changes are related to naming. I'm going to cover every change between this torrent and the old one, it will take me some time to finish.
