Card Duplication

So here's the thing I've run into... I've got a game that has several decks with multiple copies of the same card. For instance, one "Black" card appears 25 times in one deck and 18 in another. From what I'm seeing, I have to upload a separate (but identical) copy of my "Black" card for each card that I want to use. Can this be right? It looks like a lot of thought was put into the card functionality, and I'm a little surprised that there isn't an option to have more than one of each card in the deck without having to upload the same card multiple times. This takes up my quota, doesn't it? There are two ways I can see for fixing this, if I haven't missed my guess and there really isn't a way to duplicate them: 1: Make a Duplicate Card button. 2: (This is the preferred way): Have a field beside each card that indicates how many times it occurs in the deck. That way I can just put 25 in the field for my "Black" card, and done. And that way you could have an interesting, more graphical way of dealing with things with very low odds (like rolling a d100, but you have a deck with 99 black cards and one white... or 99 Devil cards with one Angel). If I have made a mistake and what I'm talking about is possible, someone please correct me and tell me how I can do this.
Well, you don't have to upload multiple of the same image. If you open your library of currently uploaded images you can drag one of your existing images repeatedly into your cards images. That being said, option 2... would be quite fantastic. It's been on my wishlist forever (Great for making a deck of the different Deadlands chips!)
I did attempt that actually, Haven. For whatever reason it didn't work. I may have been using the wrong browser.

Hmm. I swear I use to be able to do that, but on testing just now... I can't. Maybe I was just wrong in the first place, but I was pretty certain I could do that... Ah, no. You have to make your library item appear in a token search and drag from there. Ok.

Well, as long as it's doable, that helps me. I'd still like to see Solution #2 implemented.
I'd also like to see this implemented.

You need to use the Art Library sidebar to drag images onto cards, rollable tables, journals, and handouts. The Art Library Manager (popup window) can only drag images onto the table.
Okay, I did figure that method out. Thanks! It's still a little tedious, though, dragging it over 25 times and naming each copy of the card. I feel like there's probably an easier way of doing this.
+1 for option 2. Really want to see that one in action.

I wish we had =2 as well. I also would like "Duplicate Deck" within a deck, the way you can with character sheets.
