Import deck files from applications

There is a program for Macs called DeckedBuilder, which is similar to what this site offers, except less social, it is a good cataloging and building platform, with a free version containing only t1 and t2 cards, and a $15 version (o.O) containing all cards. It saves decks in a format known as .dec, and I was wondering if there was some way you could get in touch with the devs and see if you can get some form of import set up

If you can open .dec files in a text editor - we could always possibly tailor the bulk importer to parse the files.

I'll download it later and have a look - in Windows atm :)

I just checked, it opens them, I popped one of my decks in and it looked like this:

//decent angel deck, best w/ team play
///mvid:190407 qty:4 name:Iona, Shield of Emeria loc:Deck
4 Iona, Shield of Emeria
///mvid:152060 qty:4 name:Twilight Shepherd loc:Deck
4 Twilight Shepherd
///mvid:193629 qty:4 name:Deathless Angel loc:Deck
4 Deathless Angel
///mvid:175141 qty:4 name:Angel's Herald loc:Deck
4 Angel's Herald
///mvid:175396 qty:4 name:Stoic Angel loc:Deck
4 Stoic Angel
///mvid:180605 qty:4 name:Jenara, Asura of War loc:Deck
4 Jenara, Asura of War
///mvid:175104 qty:4 name:Empyrial Archangel loc:Deck
4 Empyrial Archangel
///mvid:193399 qty:4 name:Shepherd of the Lost loc:Deck
4 Shepherd of the Lost
///mvid:205234 qty:4 name:Serra Angel loc:Deck
4 Serra Angel
///mvid:175030 qty:12 name:Plains loc:Deck
12 Plains
///mvid:213629 qty:4 name:Forest loc:Deck
4 Forest
///mvid:213617 qty:8 name:Island loc:Deck
8 Island

The top line is the comments, which could parse to the descriptions, but it was overall successful! Just need some kind of scan that will look for lines that don't begin with /// (except the first one maybe...) then load those into the bulk importer.
