Site Feedback / Re: Feature requests: Duplicate entry & collection folders

We would much prefer having 1 entry for a digital version of a game, and then show on the entry that it is on Steam or Epic or any of the other 50 distribution platforms.

Agreed, that's a much better approach.  Any idea when that's due to roll out?  I want to know if I want to waste my time making extra entries for different platforms while I build up my collection on here.

Site Feedback / Feature requests: Duplicate entry & collection folders

« on: November 08, 2023, 12:44:23 pm »

I've just started using VGCollect, after being a Discogs user for my music for some time.  Two things I find very handy over there could really improve things here.

First, a duplicate entry button.  While putting together my collection on here, I've run into a few things I've got on (for example) both Steam and Epic, but there's only a Steam entry in the database.  On Discogs, there's a link to duplicate an entry, which populates the new submission form with all the existing information so I don't need to re-enter all the credits, just change the necessary differences and submit the new entry.  For the case where a Steam game gets released on Epic, or vice versa, a quick way to just change the platform and add the new entry without having to copy-paste every other field would be a great feature.

Second, a user-creatable categorization for their collection.  Discogs calls this "folders".  I'd just like to be able to group items in my collection as I see fit.  Maybe its a group for items I've lent out to friends.  Or a group for things that I bought through Humble bundles.  Or grouping things based on which member of my family actually owns it.  Just want me some user-creatable grouping options.

Thank you for listening.
