Is there a way to filter variants from a gaps report or catalog view? Most of the time I only have interest in simply having any single copy of a given issue. So for example, I can't just add a run of a particular title to my wish-list without also adding dozens of variants along with it.... I'd be satisified with it just putting the "A" cover in there and knowing I just need a copy when I go to buy.....

Thanks for yoru help, but it seems even when in my collection views no matter where I click ,the "folders" option in the drop down menu is greyed out. I can tinker with column choices no problem. Folders, not so much.

ok close but not quite. I tried this on Alpha Flight first for example, I right click at the top and select the folder dropdown, add/remove ... it brings up the entire collection and i uncheck the entire list using the select/deslect all. I remove everything and save.

Now I'm left with an entirely empty list, instead of just the "A" cover for each issue.....

OK True. But consider the fact that I want to do this for something like Amazing Spider-Man , Uncanny X-Men, Avengers, whatever , a LOOOOOONG running title.... well guess how many canadian and U.K. price variants I have to scroll through to manually remove from every single title? It will take for-ev-ER!!!!

Yes , I did also notice that I can click on the "variant" heading there to sort the list easily, and then go and uncheck all of the price or other non-desired variants as I wish... but that is still a very long process. I can't even shift-click to grab a group of them.

So we are part-way there.... I guess this would have to be a feature request of some sort. This makes me think of the auto/custom filter/sort feature.... you can selct your entire range of data... then hit filter, and the drop down arrow... and I can uncheck a few things, and remove hundreds of rows at a time....

So if I could do that, and remove anything that matched "canadian price variant" or "UK price variant" ... at least I'd be left with all "real" variants .... or just remove everything B- , C-, D- , E- .... whatever I like...

Follow me?

I, too, have done it for long running titles. I have thousands of titles in my collection and wishlist and it is a major pain but can be done. I wish the Brits and Canucks could have their own version of the software so we wouldn't have to deal with their books. What I really hate is that you can clear out all the foreigh variants but a week later more will pop up in the same title.
