Work has been continuing, when I have the time, mostly on minor things that bug me.
One thing I completely revamped is the save file process. The save process now works much like word documents and such. I even included some "this file hasn't been saved" type error messages, so the entire process is much more intuitive.
Now that that feature is up to snuff, I plan on adding some other features, such as a wish list and trade list. By parsing a wish list and a collection file, have/want lists can be generated.
This upgrade won't be included until the Alara Reborn update, which will be released in late April (when the Alara Reborn set is released)

Beta 3.1 Release
Beta 3.1 is now finished.
I fixed several minor database glitches and improved the GUI subtly.
The biggest change is the text on the preview cards.
Upgrades and Fixes:
* The WUBBG error on conflux cards is fixed (It should WUBRG)
* Improvements have been made to the Preview Card text formatting.
* Some minor database issues were fixed
* The database and save file for cards were moved to a "Data" folder for consistency
* Planar Chaos frames are now included with the primary download
* Unhinged and Unglued frames are now available for download
The new version can be downloaded >HERE<, but I will update the link in the download instructions as well.
Those upgrading from a previous version will need to uninstall the old version first. I hope to overcome this irritant soon.

Beta 3.1 Screenshots
Beta 3.1 brings improvements to the preview card text formatting. The small card text formatting has also been upgraded.
============================================================
NOTE: several of the following screenshots are from before the Beta 3.1 changes were made.
This is to give an example of the sorts of changes that were made, and because I already had those screenshots and replicating them would be a bit excessive. :P
The biggest changes were to the text box, where icons and formatting changes are now applied.

Overriding Card Frames - Some people prefer the look of the old style card frames, while others prefer the new frames. You can override the default.
Tokens are included too
