Topic: View Whole Inventory on One Page

Is it possible to do this? I am trying to import my ~800 card inventory of MTG, and after ~20 cards, I am already on the second page. The problem with this is that once I type the card name in, hit enter, it almost always choses the wrong set/expansion, so I have to find the card in the list and manually edit it. If I change the default settings, then the majority of the cards I add do get the right settings initially, but some do not, and then if I have to change pages to find them I have to reset the default settings again.

Other than that, awesome website! It is very helpful/useful.

I agree - I just started entering cards today, and having a "show all cards on one page" option would be nice.

Re: View Whole Inventory on One Page

the reason for limiting the amount of cards on one page is to lower server load.
Anytime you add a card, you get a small screen underneath the textbox containing all cards with the same name, their set and the 'special' part (EG foil).
Here you can easily edit these settings and hit apply.

I do think there should be a search option, or one should be able to select 'cards starting with X'

Anytime I add a card, I do the following: I type the name in the search bar, and then hit enter. Once I hit enter, 1 of those cards is added to my inventory. The settings below the search bar apply to the next card you enter with the same name, not the first card you just entered. Therefore, I always have to go find the card in my inventory and change its settings.

you can change the settings for your old cards over there as well wink just don't forget to hit 'apply' afterwards

Oh thanks - I did not realize that. That makes it much easier.

Re: View Whole Inventory on One Page

Additionally, you can also add the additional "Last Added" column to the view and sort on that.  Doing so will make the newest cards you entered appear at the top of the first page as you enter them.

I always sort by Last Added before starting to add cards.

I also always pre-sort my cards by set (and color, and {often} alphabetically).  That way, I can change the default once and enter a bunch of cards.  Then, when I see the first card of the next set, I change the defaults again and keep entering.

I just wish the card defaults would stay from session to session (I have to set them every time).

I knew about all that, but I still would like to be able to see more than 25 cards per page.

I agree, this can be a bit restrictive. Maybe a drop-down menu to extend pages 50, 100, 250 cards would be reasonable, when one needs to survey a larger listing.

Yep, I completely agree that being able to pick a Per Page option would be great, but that's not specifically what you stated was the problem wink

Yes, some additional page size options would be great.  As originally stated, it would have been crazy imagining page loads for colelctors with 10k, 20k or even more cards.  ;-)

Yes, 25 per page is too few! Up the limit! big_smile
