Yep, partly the reason for their absence is that initially I imported the sets from a wizards listing of World Champ deck contents, and that listing did not include these. I do want to import them though.
I need to find a proper decklist for all of them somewhere...
Total value as it is now, and total value of cards worth > 30 cents, perhaps?
Oh wow I see that you already implemented the change of showing values of cards worth more than .30, when Total Set Value is selected. Given that I collect Pauper and have mostly commons, my total set value drops from $2,728 to $969. A lot of my .20 to .30 cards are worth something to Pauper players, though.
Perhaps .20 would be a better cutoff?
Open to discussion for that .30 value, sure.
Check out the post here: https://deckbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=28446
As a workaround you can still get the value for your > .20 cards, by filtering by price then clicking on show set value.
A couple of new features today, regarding collection values. First up, there is now a new filter in Inventories / Tradelists / Wishslists and the full database listing that allows showing only cards with values larger or smaller than a user-introduced value.
This ties into another change, regarding the set value information. It can be accessed from the same place as before (View -> Total Set Value in the top right menu in your set), but now opens in a dialog and contains a bit more information:
The total value of the set, at Near Mint prices.
The adjusted value of the set, taking the card condition you set into consideration
If the set is filtered, the value of the filtered cards, both near mint prices and condition-adjusted
If the set is not filtered, it will show a small tip about filtering, and as an example you can see the total value of the cards over $0.30, both near-mint and condition-adjusted
The condition-adjusted values are meant to give a more realistic (although still very approximate) evaluation of cards, and is calculated taking all cards Near-Mint or better at market value, cards marked as Good/LP are calculated as 85% of the NM price, Played is 70% of NM, Heavily Played is 50% of NM and Poor is 25%. Cards with no condition set get the default Near Mint price.
Try it out in your inventory / wishlist now! Looking forward to hearing what you think.
Added here, thank you for the report & links:
Thanks for all the reports.
Fixed the card numbering for tokens, added the Zombie prerelease promo to this edition:
Many basic land cards were indeed also not properly priced earlier and many editions have been adjusted. Since people have a lot of them this accounts for an increase as well.
I like the last idea settlerjoe, to provide more information in the total value field. What would you think would be useful?
Total value as it is now, and total value of cards worth > 30 cents, perhaps? Or 50 cents?
Some lands are quite valuable, like the full arts, many promos etc.
The latest edition is now imported and ready for deckbuilding and trading, along with the Promos for Launch, Game Day, Buy-a-Box, Prerelease, and the tokens:

As usual, let me know in the comments if something is not working or not accurate. Thanks!
World Championship Deck cards were all off or missing, many are now fixed as well, might also be the cause for a swing.
There were indeed some new tweaks the last few days, trying to fix various mispriced cards, and promos that previously had no price.
I did not intend to cause the majority of commons to shift in value though, since you say that they shifted towards 20 cents. I will look into it.

Still want to add a strict option for the flags on the trading opportunities page. Just did not get to it, the trading op page & queries need a more sizeable refactoring as they are causing performance problems too. So I kept not finding time for it... but soon (tm)...
I have a dispute open with a user and the deadline to respond has passed. How long should I expect to wait before I here a response?
Thanks
I posted on the dispute thread now.
He has been notified again and I wrote him a direct email too, since he seems to be inactive for a while now.
Yep, makes sense.
Working now on looking through the reports we received, and adjusting the pricing algorithms a little bit for cases that are often wrongly priced. I definitely want to improve this slowly to the point where we have some spike detection / warning mechanism for users.

Nope, sadly did not find time to implement this yet. Still on the radar though.
Since posting in the Pricing Errors thread on the forum is pretty awkward and cumbersome, there is now a little grey link on a printing's page, right above the prices, called "Report Pricing Error".
Clicking on it and submitting the comment that appears will mark the card as mispriced for us, and I will check and adjust as necessary, and as time permits.
Please simply make a quick note in the textarea such as "Price is 25$ on starcity" or something of the sort letting us know where you saw the correct price used, it makes it a bit easier for me to quickly assess the situation.
If you go to your inventory and export it (even if just contains a single card), you will get a csv that you can use as an example for the column names and order that are accepted in the import csv.
This is indeed quite user-unfriendly, and I do want to make it nicer in the future, but for now, csv is the only way...
Yep, kept postponing and finishing other things. I still want to get to them. After posting that I thought they should be done together with other international/language things, like getting all the different language printings from gatherer, and showing the proper image when a user sets a different card language. Turned out that's a bit trickier, so it got postponed

Hello,
There is an option for a CSV import. Which format is your collection currently stored in?
Fixed the cropping issue, the image previews in the dialog should not be cropped anymore but shown properly resized.
Getting ready for this weekend's release? We got you covered:
http://deckbox.org/editions/396-eternal-masters
Good luck drafting & deckbuilding!
Another comment on this feature: I don't like how it automatically crops images. I'm not sure what the point of it is but I feel like it might be a problem if people don't know to click on the cropped versions in order to see the full version. Why crop rather than resize the image to meet some size limit?
Looks like the preview is getting cropped, will check it out. If you click on Show Original though, the image is there in full. I will fix the existing images too automatically I hope.
And not to rain on the parade, but imo this feature really underscores the fundamental need that Deckbox has to restructure its database so that each entry is an individual *card*, not a quantity listing. If I have 2 Plateaus and want to upload pictures and trade, I should be able to have 2 listings each with their own pictures.
This is not such a big problem, only it was not needed until now. You can already split a stack of 2 and set different properties on each. I will make it work for photos and notes too, no problem.
That does lead to a thought, though: Can you make it so that users can add captions and/or notes to photos? Right now you can see the photo names, but you can't edit them or anything. It would be better if the user could provide their own labels. Shouldn't be too hard to implement, right?
Next up are notes on cards, users (and myself too!) wanted that for a very long time. That should solve some of the usecases mentioned. Captions on photos might also make sense as an extra, although I'm not sure if that's not over complicating things...
Hello,
Today's update includes a brand new Premium feature: uploading card photos or scans. It's now easier than ever to take some pics of your cards so other traders know what you're getting!
The feature is accessible from inventory and tradelist listings, clicking on the camera icon on the card row. Since this will mostly be used for trading and selling, the photo dialog is also conveniently accessible from the trade and order listing. This way, you can upload a picture directly when chatting with your trade partner about the cards.
Of course, the quickest way people take photos nowadays is via smartphones, so the mobile view also has a button for adding photos when viewing your inventory or tradelist. Clicking upload photo here will automatically open your camera app to take a photo to attach in one click.
Let us know what you think, and if the feature works ok for you. As always, feedback is appreciated.
There is a soft quota of 1Gb of photos per user, to avoid abuse, but if you reach that, a simple mail to support@deckbox.org will be enough to receive more space.
Next Steps
This feature opens the way to exciting things. We wanted for a while now to offer the option of a smartphone application that would use the camera to recognize cards and add them to inventories, decks, etc. I'm already investigating some options for an Android application, there will be more details in a few weeks if someone wishes to try out a development version and see what they think.
Eternal Masters
The import for Eternal Masters is also coming later today or tommorow. As usual, I waited for Gatherer to list the official set before importing it. I might take a look at other better sources for future sets, since people are always wishing for the new card data to become available as soon as spoilers hit...
