Hiding coins with "No Picture Available"?

Hi everyone!

There's any way to hide coins with “No Picture Available” when searching the catalogue?

If not, it would be a nice feature to have.

Best!

It will make the search process easier and faster in some cases.

For example: Right now I'm searching through the whole catalogue to build my wishlist with all the coins and medals I wish and marking down those I dont wish. That way I can clean the list the next time I repeat the search with the ‘unmarked’ filter. There's around 180.000 coins and medals that meet the criteria of my search. It will take me months to complete the task.

But, I don't know if I wish or not those with “no picture available” (I need to see them to know) and they keep coming in the search result everytime I repeat it. I already have the first 10 pages of the search result full of those (I still have 3500 pages to check). A display option or filter “hide coins with no avaible picture” will make the task a lot easier and faster.

Best,

Hm, this is quit a fringe case that most likely will not result in an implementation. Right now you can only filter for pages with missing pictures so it is easier to help competing the catalog.
But for making the search a bit faster you might want to rethink your search scope. Do you really want to search all ancient coins, all gold and other precious metal coins and medals etc. or do you want to look at all the non circulating coins too. With a reduction in scope you will have the largest saving in time.

If you still want to look at the whole catalog you could at least use the 200 items per page (under Display options) witch would reduce you page count by 4 times so you can skip the pictureless pages a bit faster.

There are 29,571 coins/tokens/medals without pictures. That's 148 pages at 200/page. With fast input you can click the “I don't wish” box very fast.  That way you can eliminate those up front.  Your specific search is less than the entire catalog?

My specific search is “precious metal” ( i would like to search only .900+ but as far I know isn't possible either). I don't care if it's new, old, ancient, medal, coin, circulated or not.

If I click ‘I don’t wish', it will certainly eliminate those upfront, but if someone add the picture later I'll not see it anymore when I select the ‘unmarked’ filter, and I'll be forced to check the whole “i don't wish” list from time to time to see if someone uploaded a picture of a coin I might be interested in.

I think that for those users who, for whatever reasson, don't want to have pictureless items in the search results, having an option to hide them is a nice feature.

I agree, sometimes I just want to see the coins that have photos and not those that have none.

I feel your pain! =P

The use of a dash to reverse the search     - /no-picture/    is not accepted
