So, I've been puttering around with Secret Library, but I was
wondering if there is some decent software out there that would allow
me to organize my ever-burgeoning collection of cards properly?

Preferably something that already has Vtes cards in its database, so I
don't have to manually enter each card name by hand (ugh!).

Any help would be great appreciated!

Cheers,

p.s. anyone know if such a program with database exists for Shadowfist
(tm) as well? Thanks!

ARDB has an inventory management system. i have never really bothered
using it myself so I can't tell you if it's any good or not.

FELDB has an excellent inventory system that can also keep track of how many
copies of each card are in your active decks and can thus check how many
unused copies of a certain card you have in your collection. It takes some
effort to maintain obviously, but I quite like it.

As someone who has been migrating their collection onto an ARDB
Inventory... it works fairly well.

You have basically "Total"/"Not in Decks"/"Want for Decks" as your
options... (I suspect it might be nicer to have "Total"/"In
Decks"/"Not In Decks" but hey, I can't do the code so I'm not going to
bitch...)

Easy enough to enter stuff, the time consuming stuff is organising and
counting the cards... entering the data is simple.

I will take a look and see if it is easy to change. I want to alter
the Ardb inventory code as it does not allow you to enter the card set
right now.

If you don't need to separate different expansions in your inventory
you could use the Secret Library for your inventory.

My preferred app for inventory management is Sutekh (http://
sourceforge.net/projects/sutekh/), though I still use ARDB (http://
code.google.com/p/ardb/) for quickly searching cards, and use both for
deckbuilding purposes. Sutekh is still pretty beta, but it works well
in Linux and has some really cool features - I believe that the newest
version has cleared up the windows install bug, but I can't guarantee
it because I haven't fired up my Windows virtual machine lately. ARDB
is also a fine choice for inventory management. I haven't really used
FELDB in a while, but you really can't go wrong with any of them.

Hasn't been updated in a while, but could be useful.

Graham,
Just as a side thought. If you're going to change it (or try to
change it) to "Total"/"In Deck"/"In Box/Not in Deck", then it might
just be nice on the typing if you make the "Not in Deck"/"In
Box"/"Available" auto-calculate (i.e. Input Total, Input In Deck, In
Box = Total - In Deck)
