theplotthinnens 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"The edit menu has mostly been useful for me for when I have a list of cards to import, or when dealing with category tags. I often start with a 'longlist' deck for a given commander, where I've compiled and categorized lists of cards that could fit in a given build. It's often easier to paste the relevant coded text from the longlist to the draft 100 deck, rather than go through the categorization again - especially since there's a fair amount of lag when the pool gets large enough. An option to add certain cards to other decks with the existing category tags might be a useful workaround.\n"}]}

Though it can be finicky, I like being able to make small text edits to change the card set, collector number, and edit custom fields.

inzendium 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"Would this also remove the ability to edit which groups cards are in within decklists while on the Import menu? I use the custom groups often in my lists and sometimes remove all cards from a group, making it vanish from the main deck UI, before realizing I want to keep using that group. To add other cards to a group with the same name, I have to change it on the Import screen to make it visible again (unless there's another route I just don't know about).\n\nThanks for all the work and improvements to the site. Archidekt has been my go-to for some time now.\n"}]}

Jeremy 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"Noted, thank you for the feedback!\n\nFor what it's worth, we've added some improved multiselect functionality in recent weeks that should help with deleting cards en masse: Ctrl clicking a category name will select all of its cards and Ctrl+A will select everything in the deck. You can then modify (or delete, in this case) the selected cards via the multiselect modal. \n\nThat said, I understand preferring having the deck list in plain text. We're discussing potential alternatives to our original plan. \n"}]}

The fastest way to select your whole deck is to set your \"Group by\" option on the deck page to \"Full Deck\", click the three dot menu next to the full deck category, and click \"Select All\".

Cliffjam 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"Jeremy, \n\nYou and I spoke in the past regarding the ability to import a full set into a decklist. Currently, I use the syntax search āe:dmuā and manually + each card, or I import/edit a text-based list with tags like āforest (dmu) 275ā. Once Iāve built a set list, I adjust it according to what I own when opening packs before adding to collection. I also use code for color tags and custom categories, learning them from the import/edit function. \n\nwill you still have some form of direct editing function?\n"}]}
