I'm curious, is there a way to filter my collection to list all box sets?

Database Query can:


click for zoom

Filter (the funnel-icon) as shown and then "General Information" -> "All Profiles" -> "List all Profiles"
Save that as a Flag-Set and load it in Profiler, done.

Bah, that is too easy. I was already thinking about how an XSL would have to look like for this task

Sorry ... so many tools, so many options. 

(Actually we all know that's a good thing. Some people don't like plugins. There are others that get confused with scripting, etc. So, "different strokes" is a good thing.)

Now, I'm thinking, what would an XSL Plugin look like? Make any sense? Dumb idea?

(Rather than work on exported XML, the XSL could run internally and update profiles in real time instead of requiring an XML import???? And you could maintain a library of handy scripts ...  )

Well, for this job it would look something like:
<xsl:if test="string-length(BoxSet/Parent)&gt;0 or string-length(BoxSet/Contents)&gt;0"/>

"Profile Flagger"?

For changing data it could be included in BulkEdit. Instead of overwriting the output it should default to the work column so you can check before you copy it over the source columns.
Although I'm not quite sure that would be of much use, the manipulation isn't that great (at least for what I know of XSLT)

But then how do I filter for Flags...? I never figured that out (although I may just be not seeing the forrest for the trees).

You can sort by flagged. Collection->Sort By->Flagged First.

That does seem more obvious than I expected. Thank you!
