I've been encountering this problem (missing covers) for about two weeks now; in every instance I've found a title folder in the pictures folder with the missing covers. The name of this folder is nearly identical to the original folder that is missing those covers. In several instances there is punctuation in the title, sometimes added punctuation and sometimes what appears to be the same but isn't, e.g., the curved apostrophe instead of the straight 'tick' mark and the single character ellipsis (…) instead of the three consecutive periods that Steve described above. -Mike

I ran into this last week (early April) with several titles, mostly old, long-running DC titles. I found files in the picture folders with the covers I was missing - under folders with a near duplicate name of the title missing those pictures. This first occurred after the first time I selected the option to match titles in my collection to the "correct" version of that title. There seems to be some connection between the two. -Mike

Thanks again for the help here, Steve. Since it contains full reprints of 32 stories, I would vote for Comic Books as the appropriate media type. Also, Bonanza Books is the identified publisher, so that seems to be the one CB should use.

This doesn't appear to be in the database, I found only a 2003 Fantagraphics edition. I think this earlier edition, despite the same title, should be its own entry. Thoughts? Advice?

I thought I used the new drag-and-drop process correctly, though it wasn't successful. I just now tried it again - 30-40 minutes after my initial attempt, and this time it worked. Thanks for the help, Steve! r/Mike

BTW, the correct title of this book is "The Great Women Superheroes" not "... Super Heroes"

I changed the media type for this item from comic book to book based on its content - mostly text with snippets of various comic books scattered throughout to accompany the text. However, I can't seem to get the cover to display. I set Binding Type = Hardcover, Edition = Regular Edition, and unchecked "part of a numbered series" since it was a one-shot publication. Help correcting whatever mistake(s) I've made would be appreciated. r/Mike

Ditto - seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks!

Could the obscenity charges and subsequent litigation that took place possibly explain why the magazine isn't in the database?

Looks like b2847 did the trick 100% successfully. Thanks for the fast update and the info about it!

I just installed the latest update (update 2794) and now when I use CTRL<T> to search for a title, the first letter typed jumps to that part of the alphabet - as usual - but the second letter entered doesn't register, nor does a third letter if I go that far. I'm selecting from the "series in stock" set of titles. Example: Enter "a" and "A-1 Comics" is highlighted in the list, as it's the first title in my collection that starts with the letter A. At this juncture, that title is highlighted in the list, but doesn't fill in the title cell at the top of the list. Now, I want Adventure Comics, so next I type "d" but this keeps A-1 Comics highlighted and also now inserts it in the title cell at the top. When I press on and type the letter v, the logic that should jump to Adv(enture Comics) doesn't happen; instead the list jumps to the first title in my collection that starts with the letter V. This feature worked normally before I downloaded and installed the new update 2794. Any thoughts or advice? r/Mike

Cool - thanks!

The last update added Action Comics #1084 variants B, C, D, and F, but not the standard issue (A). Should I expect this to be corrected with the next update or should I add that issue and then upload it? r/Mike

Thanks for correcting my typo, Greg.

Please change the hardcover book "Marvel Masterworks Pin-Ups" to its correct name: "Marvel Masterwork Pin-ups." r/Mike

I think "The League of Regrettable Sidekicks" and "The League of Regrettable Superheroes" should be categorized as books, rather than as comics. r/Mike

Steven, regarding the three things you mentioned that happen very quickly, the top display quickly refreshes to display the correct issue information for the issue I jumped to using F3, but not the correct cover. Sometimes I do catch a very quick display of the correct cover, but only for an instant, and then it's replaced with an incorrect cover. Repeating F3 with the same desired issue then changes the cover from an incorrect one to the correct cover. r/Mike

The problem isn't unique to any particular title(s); it occurs with any title. I've experienced it with dozens of titles. Here's what happens - - select a title - F3 to jump to an issue - highlight a custom cell (it's frequently Custom Field 3), so that only a single cell is active instead of the entire row - press DELETE to remove the data in that cell, or edit the data in the cell - press ENTER to save the change and close the cell - F3 to jump to another issue of the same title - the corresponding cover of the newly selected issue does not appear in the upper left corner of the screen, a different issue's cover appears; I haven't been able to discern any pattern as to which issue cover is presented other than it's a cover of another issue of the same title I've found that using the arrow keys to move the cursor around through a couple of cells before using F3 to jump to another issue, sometimes - but ONLY sometimes - the problem doesn't occur and the correct cover is displayed. r/Mike

Thanks for the quick reply, Mark. I installed build 2226 earlier on Friday; it doesn't appear to have fixed the problem. -Mike

I spoke too soon - the original problem that is the subject of this message string still occurs.

I'm not nearly fast enough...

Sandro, the series is in the database as "First Issue Special" and includes the four issues you have. r/Mike

Build 2217 seems to have fixed both issues for me, based on a couple of ussue checks. I'll update this if either issue repeats.

Update: since restarting my computer, the original problem persists, tho' somewhat less(?) irritating because the automatic repeat pop-up of the F3 window allows me to quickly re-enter the same issue number, which then corrects the cover display to the correct cover. If we can put a man on the moon... r/Mike

I'm encountering a slightly different issue - the F3 window re-opens the first time it's used for a Title as well as subsequent times within the same Title.
