QoL Suggestion: Filter on "in array" of Card IDs

useforbaseballsim · 04-08-2026, 11:38 AM

I often want to filter my card collection based on Card ID.

It is tedious to add a new PT Card ID - Is - ###### row for every card.

I understand that I can save a filter with many blank PT Card ID - Is - ______ rows, but that still requires me to enter the CIDs individually.

It would be a tremendous convenience to be able to paste an array of Card IDs (with a separator, of course). Perhaps PT Card ID - Is In Array - ######;######;######.

An alternative would be to be able to build filters outside the game in a text editor and import them.

Thanks for your consideration

DOS core of OOTP and PT should earn an exhibit at the Smithsonian.

Getting them to add columns or rows is God's Work.

Sorry, but I'm not sure I understand.

I don't want them to add a column or row. There is surely already a column in the database for PT Card ID.

I would just love an easier way to search for that information

Click and the whole column will be highlighted.
enter the following keystrokes: <Alt o> <c> <a>

This will autofit the column width to the most space-consuming name.

You can also do this by grabbing the right hand divider between the column letter heading box and the box to the right, clicking, and dragging the divider to the right. But the keystrokes are easier and faster.

This will also work with any other column, such as the card title or the date. And it can also be used to narrow the width of the columns with single digit or two digit contents as long as you reduce the header title to a single letter or number.
