http://ark42.com/mtg/gathererdownloader/ is offline. Is there a new tool available?

I have some python code to get images of magiccards.info. For card lists, I based my code on the xml lists of MagicAssistant (http://mtgbrowser.sourceforge.net)

For the moment, writing your own importer is probably the best way to get things set up. I'll update the readme to reflect this.

I'll want to review the legal status of things before publishing an official importer tool for this project. As it is, this project is a fairly general-purpose card recognition & inventory system, with only a few tweaks on the inventory-management-side for purposes of managing a MTG collection.

You should take advantage of these fine applications: www.mtgjson.com www.mtgimage.com

It is great that the card recognition is general. It would be nice if you can easily update or extend the config for other collections.

Would the json descriptions of www.mtgjson.com be usable with your scanning tool? How should the directory/file structure of the xml/json and image files should look like?
