Performance for edit/add cards, flags (foil etc) settable as defaults

I am unable to add selected cards from inventory to a deck via the drop-down menu. This includes decks created prior and after the update.

Thanks for all the updates!! Will you be adding the new Secret Lairs for Women's Day and Thalia soon?

I'll add more feedback as I have it..

1) Definitely not a fan of not being able to directly see my inventory/wantlist on a card by visiting its individual page. Now I have to click extra buttons just to show the exact editions of a card I have? What problem is this solving?

2) Not sure why I can see "Edit" buttons on someone else's tradelist. Thankfully I can't actually edit them...

Looking into this bug, thanks for reporting!

Weirdly I cannot reproduce this. So you have a card with 3 printings, open the add widget, search for it, change the count on one, and all 3 of them then jump up with the modified date set to "now"?

I don't see it doing it now as I just tried it on Abyssal Specter and it only franked the one I edited.  I was editing Syncopate in my collection earlier and added one to the Return to Ravnica but it set all three editions I own to an edit of today, all at the same time stamp (screenshot attached).  I will keep an eye out for it doing it and let you know.

I'm ok with an extra click, if it speeds things up, great.

Is it possible to show price on the popup as well? Deckbox is usually how I get prices for the cards I own. If not, thats ok.

Sorry if i am too direct, but this is the worst update possible, and we need a way to disable it, if not fully revert.

The rationale is pretty simple, the data visualization and insertion is clunky and hidden behind too much interaction. The previous version worked well because one could see what cards one had, right away without clicking anywhere, and add cards with one clicks. Now not only everything (both addition and visualization) requires one extra button, but the interface is unusable as the rest of the screen is blacked out and non-interactive (like I forcefully need to exit before I can click on the button).

Deckbox was renowned for its simple but effective interface, please keep it that way.

Edit: reading comments above, if this is a performance issue (land cards performance a problem? seriously???) consider keeping the old interface for premium customers - right now this website is unusable for me

Edit: Edit: the plus button overlaying the quantities (see attachment) is the worst

Hi! I've just recently started using Deckbox regularly. I've been going through the process of cataloging my collection, and I've been enjoying how simple the site makes it. My only major gripes with this update so far have been these:

1) Identical cards used to be automatically grouped together. If I had a Negate from M12 already in my collection, and I added another with the same condition, language, etc., it would automatically set the quantity of that card to 2. Now, instead, it lists two separate but identical cards. I used to be able to go through and add cards rapid-fire style, but now i have to go one by one and adjust quantities.

2) I, like many people here, sort cards by date modified when adding to my collection to double check as I go. I don't know if anyone else has had this issue, but when doing so, the list isn't automatically refreshing anymore. When I add or update a card, I get the green check mark verifying that it has been changed, but the list below doesn't show me that until i refresh the page. It used to do it automatically.

I'm not normally the type to complain about changes to sites or programs, but I've been updating my collection massively for the last few days and these issues have really slowed me down.

Edit:

I have just now also discovered that accidentally adding one to many cards on the inventory page can no longer be fixed by reducing the new card's value to 0. it will automatically set it back to 1 until you go to the page for that card and change it there.

Sebi,

I think I figured out how I got the multiple version updates to same modified date.  I pulled up a card (Aether Storm) and had 1 Homelands print and 4 Fifth Edition prints.  I pressed the add row, which added a new Fifth Edition row and then clicked save.  The old interface would combine the 4 existing into 5 cards in one row, the new interface is keeping the added row separate but updating the modified date for both Fifth Edition rows to today's date.  I was able to reproduce this behavior on other cards in my own testing.  Hopefully this keep separate rows is not intended behavior and it will go back to the old way of combining like editions (that have all attributes matching).  I often will click the add row button for as many copies as I have and rely on the site to combine them to the total in one row or use it to add extra copies obtained.  Hope this helps!

The biggest issues with the update for me are covered in JNich111's comment, it actually makes adding cards and confirming what I have in my collection slower on average with the new update as it requires more clicks and refreshing to see the info and make changes that used to be automatically available all at once.

I was okay waiting 45 seconds to a minute for the page to load when modifying my list of basic lands when it meant that everything could all be edited (and being able to revert any mistakes I made when entering) in one glance. The cases of cards where a card has a huge amounts of different printings causing a very long load time was only really an issue for basic lands, at least in my case. For 99% of my collection, the difference in load time is much less than the amount of time it takes to click the boxes to see all the information I could see before immediately.

Edit: thank you for rolling back some of the changes, it really does make the site much faster to use when you can see everything without clicking. I like to use this site for broad pricing as not only can I see the price for each printing, I can see how many I own right away. I still have the issue mentioned by JNich111 where reducing the number of cards in the list to "0" doesn't remove it from the inventory when using the "add cards" option.

I just added a rivals of ixilan swamp as a test, and had to go to the swamp page (outside of my "add cards" inventory page) and save the changes there to reduce the count to 0 and remove it from my inventory, rather than being able to do it from the "add cards" section.
