Manage wishlists

Since 0.5.0.

Do this when one wishlist is no longer enough: you want separate lists for a project, for gifts or for one BrickLink wanted list, and you want to move wishes between them.

Open Planning → Wishlist. The lists sit at the top as chips, each with its count. All lists shows every wish from every active list and labels each one with its list's name.

Create, rename and archive lists

  1. Press Manage lists.
  2. To create a list, open New list, enter a Name, and optionally a Note and a BrickLink wanted list id. Press Create list.
  3. To rename a list, open it, change Name (or the note or id) and press Save list.
  4. To archive a list, open it and press Archive list. Its wishes are archived with it.

Names may repeat. A BrickLink wanted list id can be linked to one list only.

Restore a list

Archived lists stay in Manage lists, marked Archived. Open one and press Restore list. The wishes that were archived together with the list come back; wishes you had archived on their own before stay archived.

If a wish coming back would duplicate a live wish for the same item and colour in that list, nothing is restored. Archive or edit the other wish first.

Move or copy wishes

Several at once

  1. Tick the wishes in the list. A bar shows how many are selected.
  2. Under To, choose the target list.
  3. Press Move or Copy.

Clear unticks everything. You can move or copy up to 500 wishes at a time.

One wish

On a wish's page, press Move or copy to another list, choose the list under To list, then Move or Copy. The action shows only when there is another active list.

A copy keeps the quantity, condition, maximum prices and their currencies, colour, note and flags.

Collisions

A list holds one live wish per item and colour. If any selected wish already exists in the target list, or two selected wishes are the same item and colour, the whole move or copy is refused and nothing changes. Edit or archive the duplicate, then try again.

Undo

After a change, the message at the top of the list reads Saved with an Undo button beside it. Undo reverses the last change: a move puts the wishes back, a copy archives the new wishes, an archive restores the list.

Undo is refused if something changed since, for example when a later save touched the same wishes. Undo the later change first. If the list the wishes came from has been archived since, restore it before you undo the move.

Export a list

  1. Choose a list chip, or All lists.
  2. Press Export.
  3. Choose the Format:
  4. BrickLink XML uploads into a BrickLink wanted list.
  5. Rebrickable CSV imports into a Rebrickable list. Choose Parts or Sets under Rebrickable list of.
  6. Press Export.

The file downloads, and Export summary says how many rows were exported and which were left out and why. Archived lists and wishes are never exported.

A wish Brick Work cannot name in the format you chose is left out and listed, never exported under a made-up number: No BrickLink number or No BrickLink colour for the XML, Missing or ambiguous Rebrickable mapping for the CSV, Outside selected export kind for a set in a parts file and the other way round. The rest still exports.

A few things to know about the files:

  • A maximum price goes into the BrickLink file only when it is above zero and in your BrickLink currency. Otherwise the limit is left out and the summary says so.
  • The maximum price with box is never exported: a BrickLink wanted list has no such field.
  • The BrickLink wanted list id is written only when you linked one to the list.
  • The Rebrickable file includes only items with a known Rebrickable number and colour. The rest are listed in the summary.

Download CSV and Print next to Export give the current list in Brick Work's own columns, for a spreadsheet or for paper.
