Foil / Non-Foil quantities when adding cards to collection

It bothers me that when I’m mass-adding cards to my collection I have to input the card twice, once for any foil versions of the card and again for any non-foil versions.

It would be nice if on the page as your inputting properties instead of having just one ‘Quantity’ section there is “Foil Quantity” and “Non-Foil Quantity” sections to input all foil variations of the same card at once. They can still appear in your collection as two seperate lines, but just being able to input them together would save so much time.

This has been bothering me as well, as I’ve been cataloguing more recently. I would say the same for all variants: foil, extended art, showcase, etc. The ‘add card’ window would be greatly improved by allowing you to easily add all versions of a card in one go. Short of that, having the ‘foil’ field beside the ‘quantity’ field would help speed up the process. I know some users use the ‘condition’, ‘purchase price’, and ‘language’ fields, but tabbing through them to reach the ‘foil’ field is impractical. Anyone using those fields is likely to use the ‘foil’ field as well, so placing it earlier in the form shouldn’t be an issue for them and would be beneficial for other users.

I know it would be ideal to add other art prints and etched foils into the properties screen as well to speed up mass adding, but I think because extended art, etched foils, and showcase/borderless arts are different cards, set number wise, it might become too messy. Especially when you think about cards like Cyclonic Rift or something that has multiple different variant printings across multiple sets that also all have their own foil versions.

I think just keeping it simple and having the two different quantity input boxes for foil and non-foil variants of a single printing of a card would be ideal to not over-complicate the adding properties page.
