  1. The thing is, I’m not trying to upload new covers. I’m just trying to add new covers locally so that I can print out ID labels with accurate covers. For the two covers I mentioned they just keep getting replaced by the old covers when I highlight the row for printing. It’s very strange.
  2. Actually, I had the same problem with another issue. Dark Knights of Steel #7 will not update with the new cover image I add.
  3. I just added my last two weeks of comics and noticed Where Starships Go To Die #1 has an incorrect cover image. I tried replacing it with the usual drag and drop method but the changes just won't stick. As soon as I click on the cover in ComicBase it downloads the old version. I also tried deleting the incorrect cover directly from the picture folder and pasting in the correct image but the same thing happens. I even kept the picture folder open as I clicked on the cover in ComicBase to see what happens and I can watch my new cover image being overwritten with the old, incorrect image. I've never seen this happen before. Is there a way to correct this? Also of note, I noticed a lot of the covers I had for my comics this week contained preliminary artwork despite the fact that I have "Don't download concept or preliminary art" ticked off under content update settings. And funnily enough, I had no problem replacing these covers with updated images like I did with Where Starships go to Die. I'm running ComicBase 2022 Archive Edition c22.0.2.1708
  4. Any word on if this may be coming anytime soon? Thanks!
  5. Thanks for all your help. I have an invoice with a list of all the comics I purchased so it won’t be too much trouble to print barcodes.
  6. Well I added the last two weeks of comics from my full list using my barcode scanner and the date modified has many different values. Here are just a few samples. Batman (3rd series) #122: 2022-04-13 Batman Killing Time #2: 2022-03-03 Last Flight Out: 2022-04-13 Little Monsters (Image) #2: 2022-04-08 Superman Son of Kal-El #10: 2022-03-17 Wonder Woman Historia #2: 2022-04-03
  7. Okay, I think I know why nothing turned up in a search. I added the "Date Modified" as a column to view and looked at a few of the comics I added and it looks like the Date Modified might correspond to when they were added via a content update.
  8. Thanks. That's a good suggestion. Unfortunately I can't seem to turn up any results using this search string, and I don't know enough about it to troubleshoot.
  9. Thanks. The files in the dropbox link had an older version of Crystal Reports than was installed on my system so I just I ended up following the instructions that popped up and it's working again. It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. Of course now I have to go to each comic I just added in the last batch individually to print barcode labels for them. I know, I know, first world problems...
  10. I was just entering some comics into my database tonight using my barcode scanner, and after entering them I went to go print barcode labels as I usually do by pressing F6, but when I hit print I was presented with the following error: Uninstalling everything seems a bit drastic. Is there no other way to fix this error?
  11. I just noticed that Knightmare from Image is listed as having issues from 0 to 8, but I'm pretty sure issues 6-8 do not exist.
  12. Okay, I fixed the update issue. I closed ComicBase and tried to update from Sidekick instead and I noticed that it started trying to read titles right away and didn't download the update first. Sure enough the updated failed again, but this time Sidekick provided me an error message that included a filename. I suspect the update got corrupted somehow so I deleted the temporary file and initiated another update and this time it worked. Cover downloads seem to be working properly at the moment as well, so maybe I jumped the gun in opening this thread.
  13. I tried to run a content update tonight and keep getting "Index was outside the bounds of the array" error. Downloading covers has also not as I was adding new comics with my barcode scanner. I got the following error after I scanned each issue. I was able to eventually download the new covers after I finished but then a few minutes later the errors appeared again.
  14. You might have more luck posting this in the Content and Corrections forum, but I'd say it's off by a few decimal places. Even Mile High Comics only lists a NM copy at $113, and they always seem to price items higher than anyone else. You can also request a price check through ComicBase.
  15. I just checked my online backups and they're missing too, despite Sidekick saying there was a successful back on January 29th.
  16. I've noticed that if I close ComicBase when I'm on a title that has a large number of issues (Comic Shop News is a good example) then it takes forever to load the next time I start it up. If I close it while it's open on a title with very few issues there is no delay in loading.
  17. Just thought I'd bump this to see if any decision had been made on how to handle these titles. Thanks!
  18. No to be a nag or anything, but has there been any consideration given to my suggestion?
  19. I don' think this will fix the problem, but what happens when you select a different printer from the dropdown list at the top right? I'm just wondering if setting it to print to PDF might help.
  20. I'm afraid that explanation doesn't really line up with what I have experienced. I already had the larger images of Comic Shop News in my personal database so I wouldn't have needed to download them. I've also been adding and submitting larger scans of CSN since last June and it's only in the last couple of weeks that they have all been replaced with smaller versions. I can also tell that the smaller versions of the cover images now displaying in CB are scans of the images I submitted. Everything lines up with the original scans I still have on my hard drive, right down to the scuffs and creases, and the adjustments I made to the levels. There is also the fact that most of the covers I submitted were scans of the full gatefold cover. The whole reason I started scanning them in the first place was because most of the older images only included one side of the cover and were very small. Now don't get me wrong, this isn't really a huge deal to me since I can always add the larger scans again if I want to since I still have the original files. I'm just trying to understand why this has happened and prevent it from happening again moving forward. Thanks!
  21. I do have "replace smaller existing covers" checked, but I haven't manually download any covers. For example, When I clicked on the cover to Radiant Black 10\D which I had recently scanned and added, it was much smaller than the scan I submitted. I then decided to check Comic Shop News since I've been scanning and uploading a lot of the gatefold covers and they are all the smaller version now too.
