Making it an implicit validation error is a great idea!

The question then becomes how to handle the zero-count cards outside of
deck construction. It probably makes sense to save WITH the zero-count
cards to allow for future editing of those cards. Unfortunately, saved
decks are used for extensions, and it probably is better to OMIT the
zero-count cards when outputting via an extension. The same probably
applies for printing (for the same reasons).

It does NOT make sense to have different behaviors for these different
situations. Consistency is critical. So that means a choice needs to be
made that will be less than optimal in one context or another. I have my
personal thoughts on this, but I'd be interested in hearing the opinions of
others first. Any strong opinions out there????

Thanks, Rob

I think 0 qty cards should be omitted when saving decks.

I do think you should be able to "color code" cards for decks in progress.

Sorry it took so long to get back to this, but I've been swamped. What the
heck do you mean by the term "color code" cards for decks in progress?

Thanks, Rob

change the color of the text line of the card in the decklist. ex: green
for keepers, yellow for possible keepers.

allow the user to change the color.
