i rebooted clean this morning, clicked the check for updates option, installed an update,
then installed the ComicBase 2023 update.
then clicked the check for updates option and installed a second comic database update, and the issues are still not available.
Picked up about 20 comics from the shop yesterday, and 14 of them failed the UPC scan - read the code but registered no comic.
If there is a different way to get a data update, it is well hidden.
