Topic: iPad & Inventory Feedback

Not sure how many people are trying to make this work so far but I am actively getting my whole collection into the site and 95% of the time the iPad is doing the trick.  Here are some of the items I have run into that required a trip to the actual desktop in the house:

1. On the filter control if you select a filter that has a drop down with more than 12 options you are hosed (no scroll)
2. The button next to the card name that allows you to go into the detail screen is just a little bit smaller than my fingers function comfortably with couple extra pixels might make that easier.
3. Lastly as I think about using the iPad to manage trades when I am at the local shop or an event it would be great if I could initiate a trade without the person being a deckbox.org user.  Basically add a new trade section to the Trades window.  Ideally this process would manage the addition and removal of cards from my inventory, wishlist and tradelist.

On the inventory front one thing that would be great is a way to do a CSV upload or something similar for Card Name, Count, Edition Details, Foil, Textless, DCI etc.  I find myself going through a lot of clicks that will eventually make me go crazy to get the edition information added into my inventory smile.  You could even use the same control as the import list of cards widget with more options potentially... I'm not a dev so hard for me to tell you the best way.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm glad the site mostly works ok on the iPad, I did not have a chance to test it yet. Both your first 2 points will be addressed sooner rather than later.

Point 3 is also something very interesting, that I have not thought of... although now that you said it, it totally makes sense. Not sure how this is going to work UI-wise, but I'll think about it. This was a big problem before I added the counts in all the sets, but after that I kind of settled for going into my inv, finding the card and modifying all its "counts".

On the import thing... that also makes sense, and should be useful. It goes into my Todo list, but it has to wait until after I finish all the other things I promised.


The last few months have been a bit busy, and the next one will be even more so, as we are moving to another city (and another country for that matter smile). But as things settle down and we get back into the magic and deckbox thing, expect features at a better pace smile

One more item today.  When I am in the card details pop up and there are more than 10 cards I cannot scroll down past the 10th card which prevents me from updating the details for those cards.
