Dual inventories (again)

Okay, I've decided that I'll track my collection and play cards using quality
as a separator (Mint for the Collection, Unknown for the Play, and the
other qualities
for purposes yet to be discovered!

Now, I need to "move" cards previously entered from one quality to another.

How do I perform the following:

foreach card in inventory
If Quantity_Owned (Quality Unknown) >= 1 then
Quantity_Owned (Quality Mint) = 1
Quantity_Owned (Quality Unknown) = Quantity_Owned (Quality Unknown) - 1
endif
next card

I don't really want to have to do this by hand, because then I'd
effectively have to reinventory.

Help please!

R.

highlight all cards shown
using batch edit, set the quantity of the mint style to 1 .

using filters, show inventory owned -> 1 (do this for each amount)
using batch edit, set the quantity of the unknown style to quantity - 1
(one less than the inventory owned being showed). (do this for each amount)

V1.3 adds a new quality rating called "reserved". This new quality is
intended for folks who keep a set of cards separate from their play set. In
V1.3, you can track quantities but no prices for reserved cards. In
addition, reserved cards are EXCLUDED from your inventory totals during
deck construction. That way, you only build decks against the playable
portion of your inventory.

You'll be able to easily switch the reserved cards from mint quality. Save
an inventory XML file that only includes your mint quality cards. Then open
the resulting text file in a text editor like Notepad and do a search and
replace of "mint" to "reserved". Then load the file back into CV, and all
the reserved quantities should be set correctly. You'll also need to clear
the inventory quantities for mint to zero. :-)

Note that V1.3 also adds a new "electronic" quality for tracking electronic
cards, along with the ability to build decks against either the electronic
inventory or the physical inventory. You can also enable/disable use of the
target quantity individually for cards in V1.3.

Hope this helps,
Rob

P.S. Make a backup before the conversion, just to be safe. :-)
