But Reserved doesn't appear in the quality summary window, meaning I
wouldn't know that they were coming when I checked inventory.

Obviously using reserved isn't the best option, but another quality might be.

Which brings me to another "request" - could qualities be user defined?
Rather than unknown, poor, good, fine... if I could change the text to suit
myself, or even better yet, add my own "quality" values, then that would be
great!

That would be great too

Thanks for your help, as always!

I think this would be a good idea. Whenever someone wants to track something you haven't thought of through inventory, you guys always tell them to use an alternate quality. This makes sense and all, but with the ability to make a new quality based on whatever the new thing is they want to track, things would be much simpler, and there wouldn't be new qualities needing to be added to (like electronic quality) The new qualities the user would define should be game-system based though and not used across all game systems.

That way, for example, I could make a quality for Yu-Gi-Oh cards in erach of the several dozen videogames, and then use each of those to track what cards I have in each videogame, and I can use CV to play around with deckbuilding, deck stats, etc until I get the deck I want, which I could then build from within the videogame.

Please, put this on the To-Do list!!

I believe this is already on the to-do list. However, the new qualities
were needed, even if that feature had been added in 1.3. Why? Let's say
that two people want to record their electronic cards, and one of them
creates a new category of "electronic". The other creates a new category of
"computar", perhaps because they can't spell. The addition of an extra
Electronic quality makes it as easy as it ever was to record and trade
electronic cards.
