That's a significant feature (saving named filters), so it won't appear
until a subsequent feature update. At this point in time, it is highly
UNlikely you will see it sooner than 6 months. If users had let us know
this was an important thing to add prior to the V1.1 release, we could have
juggled the things added to V1.1. Unfortunately, we're finding this out
AFTER the release. Sorry. :-(

This is now added to the todo list. In the meantime, you might consider
just prefixing the deck name with an appropriate indicator of the game
system (e.g "[LotR] My killer deck.dck"). This might eliminate the
confusion until we can get the feature added.

OK, now I understand. That's significantly more complex than the current
mechanism allows and would require non-trivial changes to the database and
how the code is handled. I've added this to the todo list, although it is
probably on the scale of a V2.0 feature (please don't ask for a timeframe,
since we don't have one yet <G>).

Ah! Now I understand. It's been added to the todo list.

Viewing the complete details for a card within deck construction is
accessed via the right-click menu. Right-click on a card and select "View
Card Details".

OK. So you effectively want to be able to put a check in BOTH the "column"
and "info" boxes within the View form, having the information show up in
both places.

If it gets added to one, it's virtually free to add it to the other. :-)

Thanks, Rob
