Possible Card Vault Bugs?

Hi, I'm developing a data file for Card Vault. I'm having trouble
getting the card note feature to work -- I'd like to use it to point
out cards that have been modified via errata. I expand an info
window to show card notes, but the only text that shows up in the
info window when I click on a card with a note element is "click on a
card within the deck to view notes here." I'm using 1.1a. Here's a
sample card with notes, straight out of my definition file:

<card id="ba087" name="Dova Magma" deck="deck1+deck2"
description="Any player may spend one action and 1 ENERGY to give 1
damage to all minions adjacent to Dova Magma." flavor="Magma is a
fickle Dova, sometimes lashing out at her children.">
<artwork unique="1" artistid="masrar" name="Mahmud Asrar"/>
<tag group="type" tag="stronghold"/>
<tag group="align" tag="evil"/>
<tag group="faction" tag="deep"/>
<tag group="rarity" tag="Standard"/>
<tag group="flat" tag="48"/>
<tag group="cost" tag="1B"/>
<tag group="costb" tag="1"/>
<tag group="costt" tag="1"/>
<tag group="edition" tag="basic"/>
<tag group="out" tag="3B"/>
<tag group="outb" tag="3"/>
<tag group="armor" tag="2"/>
<tag group="life" tag="2"/>
<tag group="trait" tag="unique"/>
<tag group="trait" tag="limited"/>
<note source="Official Errata" description="Traits now include
Unique and Limited."/>
</card>

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Also, I noticed that after you reset the view to the defaults, the
topmost card becomes selected, but you can't use the keyboard (arrow
keys, page up/page down, home/end) to scroll down the display until
you click in the window.

The 'card notes' window in the UI shows notes that the user enters - if you
right-click on a card and choose 'edit card notes', you can set some custom
notes for that card, and it's these notes that are displayed.

Notes that you add to the data files should show up underneath the card
text in the 'card details' window; the magi-nation files include a lot of
cards like this (for example, Abwyn's Quill), although they use .ext files
to add them.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if it's intended; the 'views' button
still has the focus, since you just clicked it. Hitting 'tab' will change
the focus back to the card list, so you don't even need to click it. Rob?

Colen addressed the other question already, so I'll focus on this one. This
may be a bug wherein the keyboard focus isn't reverting to the proper
control when the View form is exited. I'll have to investigate this to
check. I've now logged this to be researched further.

Thanks, Rob

The note tag has to come just before the artwork tag .

Thanks; that's got it working. Although it's implied by the order
the card's child elements are discussed in the documentation, it
isn't explicitly spelled out that it has to come before the artwork
child element, or that the elements have to be placed in the order
presented.

actually, it does. the last sentence in the paragraph under the heading
"Cards" in the datafile docs.

But I missed it the first several times too.
