That's always the first thing I check for when I have issues.

I spoke too soon. I am once again stalled at downloading book cover images. I made sure to put in exclusions for both ComicBase and Sidekick and I'm running the latest interim build (v25.6.3.4628). I've reported it to the support mailbox but I thought I would also update here.

The fastest way would be to find someone who buys whole collections like a store or someone who sells back issues for a living. You won't get full value if you do it that way though.

Yes, support suggested the same. I added an exclusion for the the Sidekick process and all is well now. It's strange that I've never encountered this problem before though. Nothing about my setup has changed.

Well, I installed 4628, rebooted, and initiated an update, but it is once again stalled at downloading new book cover images. I fired off an email to support.

Thanks. For whatever reason Sidekick started up this morning and I was able to click on the update button, but as was the case last night, it is hanging when trying to download covers. Specifically book covers: I'll cancel out of it and try the new build and report back.

I've already done that. The problem I described are what has been going on since updating to 4626.

I was having trouble with the update when it came time to download new covers, so I installed the latest version of CB but it is still hanging when trying to download new covers. On top of that, Sideckick isn't launching at startup anymore. I've rebooted several times just to be sure. I can launch it manually, but all the buttons are greyed out, and it eventually crashes after a few minutes. ComicBase was not open when I attempted this.

100% I would love this also.

Just thought I'd bump this post since I ran into the same problem again yesterday. Would it be possible to have a copy of the database on your phone that the mobile app could search instead of going out to the web? I've now saved a PDF on my phone of my latest collection report, but it's a little cumbersome to search when compared to the ComicBase Mobile App.

I know it's just a small issue, but are there any plans to fix this in upcoming releases?

I am currently running the latest version of the 4K Archive Edition and have 3 monitors connected. I will often move ComicBase to a secondary monitor when I'm working on scanning in new cover art so that I don't have keep switching windows every time I want to see how big a given cover images is, but whenever I click on a cover to see what the full size is it will momentarily open on the same monitor that CB is active in, and then it always jumps to my primary monitor, defeating the purpose of having CB open on a different monitor. Is there any way to get the full size cover image to open on the same monitor that CB is active on and stay there?

So I did a little more digging and it turns out the Logitech software for my keyboard decided to assign custom functions to all my F keys. I turned that off and it's working as expected now.

Weird. I tried it without anything selected and it just shrinks the text in the title description. It resets when I leave the title and go back to it, but it's very strange behaviour.

I updated to the latest version of the 4K Archive Edition (v25.5.0.2076) and after entering a batch of comics I tried to use F6 to print out the ID labels but it no longer works. Instead of bringing up the print dialogue, pressing F6 just scrolls the screen to the right. I was able to right click and print ID labels, but I find using F6 much more handy.
