StribogDeck

Before you start

• Desktop Chrome on Linux; Chrome 152 was verified. Other browsers, operating systems and touch devices are untested.
• Extract the buyer ZIP and open StribogDeck.html. No account, network connection or additional application is required for comparison.
• Two UTF-8 CSV/TSV exports with headers and a stable, unique card ID in each row. Use a quantity column or explicitly choose one copy per row.

Your first result

1. Try the Ember Orchard example

   Extract StribogDeck-1.0.0.zip, open StribogDeck.html in Chrome and press Load the Ember Orchard example. The previous slot shows 24 cards and the new slot 25. This is a fictional deck with 38 copies in v0.7 and 39 in v0.8.

2. Choose which changes matter

   Check Card ID column id and Quantity column qty. Tick Ignore beside notes; it is suggested but is still compared until you tick it. Keep Spacing on Exact, then press Compare versions. Under Possible renames, confirm EO-14 → EO-27 only because the example's Coalberry Bush was deliberately renumbered.

3. Check the expected result

   Expect 2 added · 1 removed · 3 changed · 1 copies only · 1 renamed · 18 unchanged. The deck check reads 38 − 9 pulled + 10 printed = 39 copies. EO-05 needs no reprint because only its ignored notes changed. EO-02 needs one additional copy even though its total quantity is three.

4. Inspect the six-file handoff

   Press Download handoff ZIP, extract it and open print-and-pull.html and patch-notes.html. reprint.csv has seven rows and ten copies; pull-list.csv has five rows and nine copies. Compare them with the free pack's example-output/. The ZIP also includes Markdown notes and manifest.json with input/output hashes, settings, warnings and confirmed renames. Timestamps can differ.

5. Compare your own exports

   Export the version you last printed and the edited version as CSV UTF-8. Load each in its slot. Confirm the stable ID and the quantity column, or choose No quantity column: one copy per row. Ignore only fields that are not printed. Ignore spacing trims values and collapses runs of spaces, tabs and line breaks; use it only when those differences do not matter. Press Compare versions again after changing settings.

6. Review and use the output

   Resolve any duplicate/missing ID, malformed row or invalid quantity before comparison. Confirm a rename only when it is the same card; ambiguous matches stay added and removed. Check all warnings and the reconciliation. Use print_copies when preparing a reprint, not the original quantity column. Import into your particular card generator remains unverified. To repeat a comparison, reload both CSVs and use the settings recorded in the manifest. Keep your original exports and downloaded handoffs. Delete the extracted folder to uninstall.

A worked example

Ember Orchard: ten prints and nine removals

Input: Two fictional CSVs: 24 card rows and 38 copies in v0.7; 25 rows and 39 copies in v0.8. Columns: id, name, type, cost, qty, text and notes.

1. Load the example, ignore notes and compare with exact spacing.
2. Confirm EO-14 → EO-27 as the same card with a new ID.
3. Download and inspect the patch notes, CSVs and print-and-pull checklist.

Expected result: Reprint EO-02 ×1, EO-04 ×2, EO-11 ×1, EO-17 ×2, EO-25 ×2, EO-26 ×1 and EO-27 ×1. Pull EO-04 ×2, EO-09 ×2, EO-11 ×1, EO-14 ×1 and EO-17 ×3. The result reconciles: 38 − 9 + 10 = 39. An ignored designer-note edit on EO-05 does not trigger a reprint.

Troubleshooting

Compatibility & limits

• Chrome 152 on Linux was verified offline, including a 360 px layout. macOS, Windows, Firefox, Safari and touch operation remain untested.
• UTF-8 CSV/TSV with optional BOM, comma/semicolon/tab delimiters and LF/CRLF endings. Limits: 5 MB per input, 5,000 rows, 100 columns, 10,000 characters per cell and quantities 0–999.
• Exact ID matching. Rename suggestions require a unique one-to-one match and explicit confirmation. No fuzzy identity inference.
• Changed or renamed cards pull all previous copies and print all new copies. Quantity-only increases/decreases use the difference. Zero-copy rows are reported but omitted from print/pull CSVs.
• No XLSX/ODS editing, online sheet connection, images, card drawing, imposition or PDF generation. Import into nanDECK, Dextrous, Component Studio, Tabletop Simulator or other generators was not verified.
• Output CSVs preserve original headers, cell text, row order, delimiter, BOM and line ending, adding three metadata columns. Formula-like cell text is preserved and warned about; a spreadsheet may interpret it as a formula.
• The print action was tested through loading the notes and calling the browser print function. Physical printing and PDF output were not tested. Keyboard operation and visible focus were checked; no full accessibility conformance is claimed.
