Programming Error in MWS ???

Is it just me or the "gold" color matching in MWS is messed up...
When I'm sorting cards by color I add white + "gold" (Which should be renamed multicolored at every instances anyway) and in "gold" I specify ONLY white (so that unmake hybrids and other white and other color cards also show up in the matches)
The problem is, it also matches some red green hybrids, and other non white hybrids Neutral

I almost wanna reprogram MWS entirely for all thoses programming mistakes they made...

Did anyone found a way around it, or solved it somehow?

Try actually doing the stuff I'm writing before saying stuff like this.

This thing is hard coded in MWS, it never worked, and never will with the actual version of MWS, I've known MWS for a VERY long time my friend and it has always had this problem since the hybrids came out.

Try going in Complex card filter, and select Type 2, then in colors, choose white only, and then select also gold, uncheck all gold colors exept white... and you will see, many non white cards in the list.

This is what i want to know if someone found a way around

And btw, I installed mws about 30 minutes ago, it's all fresh and clean.

Unmake isn't only white, it's also black. Therefore, it will show only if you chose "gold black and white"

I've noticed the exact same thing, but I don't believe there is any way around it

Flippy... please... don't... please don't... don't talk when you have no idea of what you are saying please... please..

you sound worse than a blond with blue eyes asking questions about her car in a garage when she has no idea about it

the "GOLD" option in MWS is made and PROGRAMMED to work by getting ALL "GOLD" cards that are at least ONE of the color specified, hence, if you specify "GOLD" and only check the "WHITE" color, it should give you ALL GOLD CARDS THAT ARE WHITE, hence, tefery's moat, unmake, scourge of nobilis, the +2/+2 conspire, ETC ETC ETC AND it DOESNT work that way, since hybrids came out, this function is rugged.

And it seems that some people have noticed it does that also, and no way to get around it... I'll probably have to work a bit more on my own Magic Workstation program which I started to ENTIRELY recode by myself to fix all thoses bugs... but it'll take a while so I kind of hoped someone else had did this before me, OR had sources to MWS so it could be easier to fix it.. MWS is dead, the programmers probably will never update it again, and they didn't code the database search after hybrid came out, hence why it bugs out in the search.

Probably they are "searching" for cards with casting cost "W" when the hybrids are "%P" "%L" and such

If you can write c#.net...

I am planning to start an open source project for a proper deckbuilder and a card-collection-management program.

I code in VB2005, c#.net c++.net

Notify me if this project is happening i'll be glad to take part in it
