Well, I went to the mall and picked up a copy, and I've realized that
Quick Search really isn't all that bad. I was able to input my collection fast enough (it took me 6 hours, but 3 of those hours was spent playing Zelda, and another hour was spent chatting online). Although, I have noticed a little room for improvement. Specifically, an easy way to sort the cards within your decks would be nice, along with an option to merge cards with identical names when outputting your inventory. And, if possible, more customization for inventory and deck reports would be nice, like numbering each card or adding page breaks between different colors, but modifying the html code's really not that hard. This is all nit-picking though; Card Vault is a solid program, and I can live without all these adjustments. Are there any plans for new software in the future? Wow, this turned out pretty coherent comsidering it's 3:30 in the morning. BL Alien ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Make Money Online Auctions!

Turst me Colen after having used it for a couple of days now the
number of filters in place, specifically for the game i play, Magic, is staggering. Just play with them they are easy to use. --- In cardvault@yahoogroups.com, Colen McAlister <colen@w...> wrote: > At 09:24 AM 3/29/2003 +0000, you wrote: > >Specifically, an easy way to sort the cards within your decks would > >be nice, > > You can do this by right-clicking the column titles in the deck view and > choosing 'sort ascending' or 'sort descending'. > > -- > Colen McAlister (colen@w...) > Lone Wolf Development www.wolflair.com ------------------------ Yahoo!

The only real difference between a "real-time" search and the current Quick Search is that you have to hit the <Enter> key to trigger the jump. Not exactly a huge extra effort. :-) >Specifically, an easy way to sort the cards within your decks would >be nice, Right-click on the column header. Select the sort to use. You can't single-click to do this as a safeguard against accidentally re-sorting a deck that has been carefully organized. :-) >along with an option to merge cards with identical names >when outputting your inventory. You can use the "Restrict" options under "Settings", as well as the Filter mechanism to help with this. You can also highlight exactly the cards you want and output only those cards. Beyond that, merging cards doesn't seem like a good idea for inventory, since the cards are distinct and have separate totals. Please explain how it would be a good thing to merge duplicates within the inventory, since it's escaping me right now. > And, if possible, more customization >for inventory and deck reports would be nice, like numbering each >card or adding page breaks between different colors, but modifying >the html code's really not that hard. Card numbers can be included as a column. Or do you simply want "line numbers"? Adding page breaks between colors is starting to get very specicialized. Before that stuff gets added, I think there are still some much more meaty features that would be of significantly more value to add first. Features like this get added when we start running out of "cool" things to add. And my todo list is still a mile long. :-) > This is all nit-picking >though; Card Vault is a solid program, and I can live without all >these adjustments.

By "new software", are you referring solely to new Card Vault updates? Or are you referring to something else? >Wow, this turned out pretty coherent comsidering it's 3:30 in the >morning.

A merging option would be useful for organizing collections for gaming purposes. If you have two Counterspells from 7th edition and two Counterspells from Mercadian Masques, for example, it would be more helpful to output "four Counterspells" than "two Counterspells and two Counterspells". Also, a merging feature would be useful if you want to maintain a binder and keep a reference to where each card can be found, and you want to keep cards with identical names in the same slot.

OK, so you're looking for the merge functionality solely to collapse
output? That's more tractable. I'll put it on the todo list. Someone recently asked for the ability to merge duplicates for tracking quantities, including target/acquire/excess, and that's a LOT of work (assuming it's even feasible).
