This release implements a new system for handling card details in decks, and the deck-inventory relationship.

The previous system was quite buggy and confusing, and mostly just tried to "guess" which deck entries in built decks correspond to entries in the inventory. When a user sets custom details that sometimes "helps" the system guess but in general it was fiddly and inconsistent.

Now one can specifically "match" or "link" cards in decks to specific entries in the inventory or wishlist. They remain connected, so that changing the inventory card's details (setting a different language for example) will reflect in the deck listing.

Adding cards to decks from inventory (via the 'from inventory' quickadd input) will auto-link them.

If one has a card in a deck that is not yet added to the inventory, this can also be done now via the "Matching" menu on the card entry in the deck, by selecting "Inventory" -> "Add this card to the inventory".

An initial automatic matching was done on release (for built decks), and is performed on some actions (like importing a cardlist into a built deck, changing a deck from "idea" to "built"), and it is also present in the "Tools" menu.

The matching also works for deck ideas, but it not handled by default, since their purpose is not really to represent actual decks of cards you own.


Other changes

Filters in inventories have been restructured so as not to just have a huge single dropdown with all of them, and are separated by category. A new filter has been added to show cards in the collection that are "ambiguous", called "Problematic Deck Matching" that shows cards that you have in built decks that are not matched to inventory entries (or wishlist entries).

The "in my decks" dialog and section on the card page also have the deck context menu, so one can match them to the collection from there too.

The Auto Trade feature was adjusted to work with this new system.

The Add Missing cards to Wishlist tool dialog in decks was rewritten to be an own page, and made to work with the new system.

The card context menu in the collection and decks now has a "Remove" option, to avoid having to write 0 in the counts, and an "Edit this row" action so that one can edit the details for a single row, without the large panel that shows all entries in the collection.


As always, feedback is appreciated - please let me know if you see any bugs or inconsistencies, what part of the UI makes sense, what does not work properly for your usecase.

The forum attachment feature is currently broken, it's on my todo list to migrate away from this old unsupported forum software smile

Responded via email. Looking at restoring today.

There was a thread for this, where meldon44 did a lot of hard work of collecting precon information for importing via .csv but they were not updated since the beginning of the year:

https://deckbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=28865

I'd love to provide some system where deckbox has some of them pre-saved, and for missing ones users can propose them, just didn't find the time.

I'm very close to deploying a new release these following days, with a large rework of the deck details and deck-collection interaction, should fix current problems with the details system.

Hello,

Sorry about the confusion. We don't sadly support adding premade decks yet. The feature you refer to is used by collectors who collect entire sets (1 of each) or similar.

* imported the promo pack and prerelease promos for Lost Caverns of Ixalan
* imported 5 2024 Wizards Play Network promos https://deckbox.org/editions/806-wizard … twork-2024
* imported 2023 Store Championship promos 18,19,20
* imported ~40 missing Wilds of Eldraine double-faced tokens
* imported 80 Lost Caverns of Ixalan double-faced tokens
* imported 20 LCI Commander double-faced tokens
* imported ~18 LCI-Jurassic World double-faced tokens

* imported a few missing Secret Lair promos
* imported the 63 serialized Brothers' War Retro Artifacts

Thanks sebi. The WHO copy // alien (2/2) token is still missing, and I think the WHO token called beast // fish should actually be fish // beast if the names go in collector number order

This is listed as Alien // Copy. The order of the names is sometimes in collector number order but many times it is impossible since the Alien token might get a different collector number in another edition, and I opted to enforce the restriction that if we have "Alien // Copy" already we should not add another card as "Copy // Alien" as that would be too confusing.

Hey. Sadly the deck imports are not properly setting the card details so everything is imported with just the default printing.

It's on my todo list, looking to work a bunch on the importers after the next release.

The importer will look at printingId, if present will ignore the others. If absent, the note field will be considered as you mentioned.

This was the plan all along but I did the first parts (exporting the data so people can use it if they have scripts / spreadsheets), but did not do the import part, and I kept postponing because of very large feature release. So it's been dragging on for months now smile

Yep, it's on my todo list to fix after current release. Thanks for the repro example.

If this bug is causing you so much outrage I envy you, you must be using exquisite bug-free software day to day. No such luck for me.

Thanks, Sebi.

As far as I can tell, if you trade them out or manage to sell them, they'll all still treated the same way and removed from your inventory, correct?  It's just QOL more than anything?

Yep.

This is not trivial to fix right now, and depends on the stuff I am currently working on, which is the inventory-built deck linking of cards.

It's high priority after the current stuff is released later this week.

Hmm but is it different than the regular one in some distinctive way?

I submitted a ticket, but for me the default tag button is broken. It does not show any of my tags when I click the button.

Which button does not show the tags? There is one in filters, one on each card detail row, one in the "With Selected" actions button on top of the table etc.

Also, question: Is there a limit on the amount of tags we can use? I wanted to add a tag showing the way that I acquired each card, and I was going to be very specific with dates and stuff but if there is a limit then I will find a more generic way to do it.

No limit, but there is no nice way yet to organize them (folders or smth), so it might be cluttered if you make hundreds of them right now.

Thanks for the reply.
So this will be back to merging behavior at some time in the future and I do not need to go through the whole collection and manually merge entries, correct?
BR

Hmm it will not retroactively automatically merge stuff in your inventory.

Why do you have many duplicated entries though? Is this from importing?

Yep, it's a regression from the release with the tags feature. It's on the todo list to check out.
