That file should come in as part of program installation. You can try upgrading to the latest version and see if it comes in. If not, try uninstalling and reinstalling.

@Sky McCormick, if clearing %TEMP% helped, that implies to me (in my somewhat limited experience) that HDD space could be a factor. You may want to look to see if there are files you can move to an external HDD or remove altogether. Also, I often forget the Recycle Bin, so giving that an empty could help also. Best of luck!

@Sky McCormick, I'm afraid the fact that the 7Zip console was running is already different from what Pete and I were seeing on my system. From what you described, everything seems OK from a resource standpoint (although I'd be concerned about a full 15 minutes of maxed out CPU). Are you running anything else during the compression? Browsers can be notorious memory hogs, for example, but again, it shouldn't like you have enough headroom there. If you can, you may want to try an experiment with much else shut down as possible, to try to isolate which (if any) resource is maxing out and slowing things down. All that is just me putting on my software developer hat, not knowing anything about the guts of the processes. Hopefully, it helps. Adam

@Jeremy S and @Sky McCormick: I actually DO have a bit of an update. Before going to SDCC, Pete and I hopped on a debug session, and we found what we think is an issue (if not the issue). It looked like my antivirus (AVG Free) was preventing the actual compression from occurring. I can't say if that's your particular issue as well, but it certainly seems reasonable. Unfortunately, I don't have any more info than that, but hopefully it helps. Adam

Thanks, @Robert A. Weinberg. I actually use them for my weekly's as well; I'm looking for something that looks further out (like what https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/CustomerOrderForm/PDF/JUL25 used to be, so I could "pre-plan" for September and get a good idea of what to add to my LCS sub list).

Hi, everyone, I have a problem that I could use some suggestions from y'all. In the before-times, in order to update my LCS subscriptions and get an idea of what to expect each week, I used to get the text version of Diamond's monthly Previews order form, and use some scripts I'd written to parse the files into my weekly and monthly expected books lists. Even when DC pulled out, I'd be able to update that section from DC itself. However, that's obviously no longer viable. Does anyone have a good new consolidated source of the publishers' monthly solicitations? I can take a text file, or scrape the info from a webpage or PDF. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Never mind; I've seen it take over 16 hours without completing (and that's with no browsers running), yet if I create the 7z compressed file by "hand", it takes 2 minutes. Something is definitely wrong here (maybe the thread/process priority is too low?)

There are two entries for Gotham City Sirens: Unfit for Orbit. There's that title and Gotham City Sirens (3rd Series). According to the indicia, Gotham City Sirens: Unfit for Orbit is the proper title. Both entries should be merged under that title. FYI @Mark J. Castaneda

@Mark J. Castaneda, I wonder if there's an older backup out there with the right cover dates that would make it easier to find the proper values and import them...

It does. CAN'T imagine who that was... 😁

@Jeremy S, I've had issues with the 7Zip compression also. Take a look at your RAM usage in Task Manager. Browsers such as Firefox and Chrome tend to be RAM hogs, so consider closing them and other high-usage programs until the compression is done. I don't have a full solution, but that's been my observation, so hopefully it helps. Good luck.

This title (https://atomicavenue.com/atomic/TitleDetail.aspx?TitleID=89402&M=1) is incorrectly named. Instead of Fantastic Four Fanfáre, it should be Fantastic Four Fanfare. I've tried to submit this change directly, but I'm posting here as well.

The data updates I'd submitted last week for this have been reverted by this week's update, so hopefully, the updates will be adopted soon.

This should be removed, as it looks to be the same as issue 22/A (both have the same item description of Marvel Universe Connect M Cover)

I discovered this is still a problem. These titles (Archie and Friends (2nd Series) and B&V Friends Forever) are still being mis-categorized as individual one-shots. The UPCs and indicias make it clear these one shots are really part of the appropriate series. For example, the UPC for Archie & Friends: Level Up! 1 is 76281622336201911 and the indicia reads "Archie and Friends, No. 1 (#19), June, 2025". These titles are causing several duplications in the database. FYI, @Mark J. Castaneda

I'm still seeing the mis-capitalized 'DC' as of today (Feb. 22, 2025)

Using version v25.5.1.2236, backup files are disappearing when being compressed. Worse, if automatically saving to cloud, the upload process gets hung (with nothing to upload). However, if I turn off auto-compression, and compress it manually to 7Zip, it works fine. For what it's worth, I do have a recollection of seeing this before, but have no idea how it was corrected.

The various "What If...? Galactus Transformed..." titles are wrong. The indicia for the Hulk title that came out this week is "What If...? Galactus: Galactus Transformed Hulk?" (note the "Galactus:" and the question mark at the end). I've tried to submit a content correction, but I'm posting here as a backup

Side note: The cover artist on 1/B is listed as "Mr. Garcin". Is that correct, or should it be "M.R. Garcin"?

This title is incorrect. The correct title according to the indicia is Sam Wilson: Captain America. I will edit the title and submit as a correction, but I'm not sure that trick always works, so I'm alerting folks here as well.

Excuse you? I didn't use "the same scripted BS reply"; i quoted what was stated before, and I invite you to read a reply thoroughly before you attack the person making the comment

Is this why there are some many "skipped variants" in the database (for example, some title one week having 11/A, 11/B, 11/D, and 11/E issues, but no 11/C)? I have to admit that's one of my biggest pet peeves, and I'd almost think it's not worth entering placeholders in the database until they're actually in-hand (but I get that's not practical given the scale of what comes out each week...)

I had searched by UPC, but maybe not when I asked the last question. I will update, thank you both.

@Mark J. Castaneda, this is still showing up as a unrecognized title for me. Was there a final decision on how it should be cataloged?

Just putting my engineering hat on... Could the value ranges be based on NM value, but the issue in question has a lesser grade (which is reflecting in the other columns)?
