Immediate improvements to multiple user offers: highlight library/wishlist #158

Open Tecfan opened 4 years ago

What problem does this feature address?

There are some issues with multiple user offers that are in "desperate" need of improvement over all the other enhancements, so I am making this thread exclusively for those. There are more drastic GUI improvements in the works I'm sure, but I would say that these require a quick fix:

The typical multiple user offer is 1:1 or 1:2 with about 20 games on one side and 20 games on the other. Currently you have to scroll down the list and look at the very tiny text next to each game and see if you already own it / if you have up for trade / if you have it wishlisted. This is meticulous work and discourages people from even opening them (at least me). In addition, wishlist items with #-1 is also showed as wishlisted without showing that it is "-1".

This screenshot shows a typical offer. It takes me 15 seconds to confirm that none of these games are relevant to me – that's too long. image

Describe a solution

A solution would be to highlight qualifying games. This does not mean that non-wanted/already owned games should be hidden, just that games you don't own (for receiving games) and games that you have in tradable (for the tradee's wanted games) should be highlighted. This improvement does not need to be beautiful. A very simple and not pretty highlight of qualifying games will improve multiple user offers tenfold. If the highlight should be just the text "wishlist" / "tradable" or the whole item is something I'm unsure of.

Wishlist tiering (# -1, # 10, # 1 etc.) could also be implemented.

Examples of similar features

Normal offers have the ability to show that you now own a game that you have been offered. These games are crossed out (not possible to select). Not sure if this is the way to go, but possibly.

Sorry if these suggestions exists in a different issue, I just feel like this should have priority when it comes to improving multiple users offers.

Also, better visibility / respect for "no offers" tags in multiple offers: https://discord.com/channels/329829406153375755/438406560222281738/824187703872323644
