Hi,
I've tried searching for posts about this but am still a bit stuck!
I want to be able to browse anything I own but haven't played in one place (a collection being logical), and remove it from the list once I have played it. At that point I may add it to one of my permanent collections if I really love it.
I have quite a few big bundles!
So I created a collection called "things to play" and decided to go through each bundle adding each item to that collection. Then I would just dip in every so often, and remove things after downloading them. It would enable me to be sure of what I have played and what I haven't. (I had first tried just playing through things on each bundle page, but I lost track before long of what I had and hadn't played, and seemed to waste more time trying to work it out, a problem that would just get worse over time.)
So I opened a bundle, and tried adding each item to my collection. Some items have an "add to collection" option when I hover over the icon, which is a bit quicker, but for most I have to open the game in a separate tab, add to collection, close the tab, maybe doing groups of five.
Hours later, I had only tackled a part of the smaller bundles. I could see this would take days to add the bigger ones!
So, is there any shortcut or script or trick I could use, in the absence of UI options to do this? I know people sometimes ask for an "add to library" button for bundles, but even if that existed it wouldn't really be what I am after - that would put everything in one huge collection, both things I've played and things I haven't. That would only work if there was a Hide option, so I could hide things I have played. (That's what I do with GOG and Steam - everything in one huge set, but I just hide items as I play them; super simple, and anything worth playing again gets put into a special collection). Without that, the only way I can work through stuff in Itch is to have it in its own collection, from which I can remove things as I play them.
So, any advice as to how I can do this would be appreciated! It's the fact that I want to add everything from a bundle to a _collection_ without 20,000 clicks that perhaps complicates things!
(And if ever there is an option to add everything from a bundle into the library in one go, AND then hide individual items as you play them, that would be great, and would work as an alternative system.)
Many thanks.
