That would help smooth the gap in between times when new cards are released, but the script's database isn't updated.

I got 2 of the Eastern Fortress cards as popups, and they're not listed in the script yet. So at least that feature will still work for you until it gets updated. But I agree that the script is too dependent on the author's updating everything, and the way PackRat releases a card here and there every day or so, I personally would get tired of having to update the script all the time. Is there any way we could manually change the script ourselves??

Is this expected behaviour at the moment? Hi Piotr,

As a result, I am unable to set preferences for which popups to collect, since I don't want to collect all of them. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, going into User Script Commands, etc., all to no avail. I've also tried installing much older generations, which typically works, but only reflects those sets available at that time, not the absolutely most current sets. S.O.S.! Thanks!
