Quick Dropbox and Website Uploader Comparison

Quick Dropbox and Website Uploader Comparison

Postby taiwanshaun » Wed Aug 03, 2011 6:53 am

I just ran a quick test against a new sample 95 card set with four text fields.

When attempting to create a new deck from the dropbox text UTF-8 file, it seems to succeed, but only copies 62 records out of 95, I'm not sure if this is related to my other problem (the dropbox updating problem).

However, going through the official website uploader, it seems to work correctly, copying all the records without any problems.

The name of the deck is SCP_JEOPARDY if you want to take a look at it.

Sincerely,
Shaun

When you add a deck from Dropbox, in the screen where it shows you what decks you can download, tap the gear icon in the top right to view Dropbox Options. Change the "Text Format" to "Basic TSV". My guess is that will fix your problem. Sorry for the complication. The basic rule, if you used a word processor or Excel and copy-pasted into a text file, use "Basic TSV".

Let me know if that doesn't work. I'd normally try it out myself, but it's getting very late and I won't have internet access tomorrow.
