Warnings when adding "same name" items to collections #176

Open Tecfan opened 3 years ago

Tecfan commented 3 years ago

What problem does this feature address?

This happened to me yesterday:

when I added "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl" to my wishlist via text input from wishlist page, it added the Russian delisted version, but when I did the same with my notification addition, it added the non-Russian version.

how does barter decide which version to add when there are identical named apps?

I might have blacklisted some games I wanted with my 5000 game paste :frowning:

Describe a solution

When barter adds an item with an identical name as another item, we need to get a warning so that the wrong item is not added. I frequently import 1000+ names into various collections and move them around, and as the quote above explains, it gives incoherent results (randomly picks 1 of the 2 items with the identical name with no warning?)

I still to this date find games that I have wrongly added to my blacklist due to this issue. I have started using JSON imports/exports to avoid the issue, but you still sometimes need to paste a large list of game names for a first-time import, so the issue would still be valid.
