It would be nice if you could set the view to show only items you don't own. Currenty options are All Items, Owned Items or Owned Plus Regular Items. Personally I don't understand the "owned plus regular items". All, Owned, and Not Owned seem to be the 3 logical views to me.

I am not sure if you mean "I don't understand the need" or "I don't understand the usage". For the latter:

"Owned Plus Regular Items" comes into effect when you one a variant and not the 'regular' issue.

It will only display the one Regular issues and the one (or more) of the Variants that you own.

For example:

ALL:

Item # Owned

1 0

1/A 0

1/B 1

1/C 1

Owned:

Item # Owned

1/B 1

1/C 1

Owned Plus Regular:

Item # Owned

1 0

1/B 1

1/C 1

PS This is not as good as you suggestion but in the interim, you could click on the Qty header to sort by that column.

This would put all Not Owned issues at the top before any owned issues (and in Item # order in my simple test).

I don’t really understand the value of that display, at least for how I use the software.

To me, it would make more sense if it displayed either all issues not owned or all regular issues not owned. I look at it mainly from the standpoint of completing runs, so the most important thing is seeing what I don’t have — especially during data entry.

Showing only regular issues I don’t own could be useful for someone who is not trying to complete a run with every variant. But showing the issues I already own mixed together with missing regular issues just muddies up the display.

As mentioned, sorting by quantity or "marking" the issues that are not owned is a workaround, but it is not the easiest or cleanest solution. A dedicated view for missing issues would be much more useful.

I wonder if they figure that you can do a missing report. And that would cover seeing what you are missing?
