Deck construction? No wondering I couldn't find it

Okay, turned on the Inventory fields in DC, but they aren't on screen, and
there's no scroll bar to get to them? Turning off a few fields allowed me
to see them...

Hmm, what cards are missing from my collection (Q=Res, IO=0) but that I
have in my play set (Q=Unk, IO>0).

Seems to be a reasonable query to me

That's intentional. You can either turn off some fields, re-order the
fields you want to appear first in the grid, or just resize Card Vault to
be wider. The same mechanism is present in the Inventory, so you can see
whatever info you like in the inventory window in the same way.

Ah, so you want to see the 'intersection' (so to speak) of the query
results, and not (for example) three windows showing multiple query results?

How does one resize? The centre vertical bar wouldn't move...

Yes, correct!

Resize Card Vault itself. The center bar doesn't move, you need to make the
Card Vault window bigger (for example, by maximising it).

That sounds slightly more easily done. I'll get back to you.

Ummm, it was maximised.

Also looking for a way to do "OR" queries, ie cards I either Own or Want.
(I guess that'll be simplified once you've enabled filtering on "Target Qty
to Own"

Then apart from increasing your screen resolution, there's not much to be
done. Sorry :/

That request is doable within the engine, but would need either a radically
different UI, or the exposure of a 'query language' that you could type in
'custom queries' for (so instead of clicking the checkboxes, you could type
in something like "level = 4 AND (type = character OR type = mage)"). This
is already on the list of things to do, but will be quite a bit of work;
we'll take this as another vote for it, and prioritise it accordingly.

>Also looking for a way to do "OR" queries, ie cards I either Own or Want.

If we can work out a simple way to adapt the current interface for this,
we'll try our best to get it into the next release of CV. Otherwise, refer
to my answer above.

Thanks,
