The TCGPlayer pricing for Modern Masters 2015 doesn't appear to be able to update. I did some digging in the Magic Assistant logs and it looks like the link provided to TCG player (and most likely all other pricing sources) is using http://partner.tcgplayer.com/x3/phl.asmx/p?v=3&pk=MGCASSTNT&s=Modern+Masters+2015+Edition&p=Sylvan+Bounty (as an example) which is returning a HTML 500/product not found error from TCG Player. This is because they are using the set values as just Modern Masters 2015 instead of Modern Masters 2015 Edition. Updating the link in a browser to be http://partner.tcgplayer.com/x3/phl.asmx/p?v=3&pk=MGCASSTNT&s=Modern+Masters+2015&p=Sylvan+Bounty shows the correct pricing information. I tried to rename the set in the UI, but it says that is not supported. I'm not sure the best way to address this since I already have cards in my collections from it and the Decks/Collections XML files use the Modern Masters 2015 Edition for the <edition> tag for those related cards. Any ideas/solutions for this would be greatly appreciated.

    You can add set alias. There is no UI for it but there is flat file
    in <workspace>/magiccards/MagicDB/tables/editions.txt
    Alias is 8th field (| separated)

    Hi, how do I find this editions.txt? I have done a search of local C: and I cannot locate this path. I am on Win 7. Thanks

    Where is your workspace? When you start the program it will ask for your
    workspace where you data is kept, that is "workspace" above.
    Or just search for editions.txt

    The set alias worked for me. It loaded prices after I plugged it in. Thanks for the reply Alena.

    I'm not sure who the anonymous poster was, but I found the file exactly as you had described.

    Attempted the set alias as indicated above, loaded extra fields, still no prices. Went to inspect editions.txt and noticed that my modifications to set alias appear to have been overwriten (blank). Tried repeatedly, same results. Any suggestions?

    Wow, way to be condescending Reson. I am no noob with a PC. I cannot locate editions.txt, even after doing a full search of the local drive. I cannot locate the /magiccards/MagicDB/% path - is it hidden in one of the eclipse files or jar files?

    Ignore my previous post - I finally realised where I set the workspace - it's on my D Drive :P. Did the alias, can get the prices now. Cheers

    For anybody else looking for location of workspace, if you open Preferences->Magic Preferences->File Locations
    it will show location of workspace

    And I posted an update for 1.4.2.11 so you can edit this in UI
    via Preferences->Magic Preferences->Card Sets
    last column is Aliases

    The Priceparser for Magiccardmarket.eu is also not working. As far as I see, the Alias wasn't used in the implementation.
    Also the Planeswalker from Magic Origins (Flipcards) are not working ether. They are treated as two cards instead of one.
