Physical and Digital - master categories

Hi,

I’ve been user from the early days and till this day loving the software.

I am buying digital and physical copies and would love to have the option to quickly filter by physical vs digital (and have this in statistics as well).

Of course, I am using format field, where I have digital, DVD, Blu-ray, etc.

But, to have two ‘’master’ categories: physical (which would include dvd, blu-ray, etc) and digital (which would include steam, microsoft store, e-shop,…) would be super useful.

Please consider this feature.

Thanks.

Have you considered using two separate collection tabs to completely separate them?

Hi Alwin,

I was not aware of this. Great! And I see it is super easy to move item between collections.

@CLZ_Alwin - is there a possibility to search across all collections?

For example - I want to quickly check If I own physical and digital version of the game.

Thanks!

This is currently not possible. Searching and things like “statistics” are “per collection”.

An alternative way to do this:
The alternative is that you would add a “tag” to a game and call it Digital, and one called Physical, and then you could use “Folders” to group by the field “Tag” - which would separate them but keep them in 1 collection - and thus searchable with one search.

Try this as well… just tap/hold a couple games, use Action > Edit, then only edit the tag field and enter Digital for them (or Physical).
Then tap the folder button and group by tag.

I created seperate Platform entities for each Platform, only for digital Games. Thats another way to do it and include these into the statistics.
