    Possible media file bug

    in Tech Support

    Posted

    Thanks Pete,

    Tried your suggestion but the program is still storing new media in my E drive as above but reads correctly from my G drive, so it doesn't find the new media unless I manually create and store the media in folders on my G drive which is a workaround but a pain.

    I have downloaded the latest version .1513 and reset and then typed in the drive paths again as per my previous entry above  - but no joy.

    I do not have the same issue with picture files which work fine.

    Yes I do have a cbr playing software but that is not the issue here.

    I have done some more digging into this as it is still a problem.

    I have hardrive E for pictures which is a 1Tb internal SSD drive.

    I have a harddrive G for media files a 5 Tb sata internal drive.

    In manage pictures and movies I have set the following:

    Picture location

    E:\comics

    Media location

    G:\Comics\Media

    When I add pictures everything is fine.

    When I add media the media icon appears in comics base next to the relevant issue. But when I click on the media icon for the newly added media nothing happens. When I click on existing media for the title the media loads correctly.

    So to work out where the newly added media was going I added one with a quirky name and then did a search. Comicbase is creating and storing it in E:\comics\media folders.

    But since in manage and pictures and movies I have it set to G:\comics\media the program shouldn't do this.

    The program knows my media is on the G drive for existing media and plays and finds it correctly. But any newly added media is being stored on the E drive and then the program can't find it.

    Please Comicbase people fix this.

     

     

    Linking Titles

    in Feature Suggestions

    Posted

    It would help navigation in comicbase to have some kind of hyperlink to titles that follow or precede each other.

    For example X-Men 1st series title screen would have a link to Uncanny X-Men  1st Series.

    Other examples would be West Coast Avengers and Avengers West Coast. There are many other examples.

    It would also be good if Uncanny X-Men 1st Series has a link back to X-Men 1st Series.

    There are titles that have changed their names many times and it would make navigating through them easier.

    To take this idea one step further it would be excellent if the user could create their own hyperlinks between titles or even issues. It would allow us to create for example a read order of comics especially useful for crossover events. Or even if you say for example want to read the X-Men/mutant titles in order.

    Hi , I will describe waht happens.

    I add a media file to an issue.

    The media file play icon appears.

    When I click on it nothing happens.

    Then if I go to the previous title, and then forward back to the title I was on the media icon play icon for that issue has disappeared.

    However if I open the media file folder for the title via another issue which has a media file and drag and drop the new media into the folder all is well.

    It means I can't add a media file to any issue in a title that doesn't already have a media file folder.

    problem since last update 2021

    I think there is an issue with viewing media - i.e. I can't see mine and I have the correct file path.

    When I add new media it goes into the correct folder and the media icon does appear next to the picture icon but the media doesn't open by clicking the media icon, and the show media in file explorer option remains greyed out.

    Picture Files

    in Content and Corrections

    Posted

    There are instances where the existing picture file is "preliminary" or just the wrong picture but when I upload the correct one because it is a smaller file size it does not seem to replace the existing file.

    Sometimes to test the theory I upload the correct picture file having stored it in my database.

    Then a couple of weeks later I do download covers to find that my correct picture is replaced by the old original incorrect one.

    I may be wrong but any thoughts?

    Three more dilemmas have arisen since reading the ComicBase archives:

    1) When a character is impersonating another i.e. The Skrulls or Mystique impersonating for example Iceman.

    2) When a character is a clone

    3) When a character is seen in a dream/vision/flashback

    The complications deepen!

    When uploaded corrections to any title with an accent above an "a" i.e. ã generates a server error at the comicbase end and the corrections don't go through.

    The also occurs when there is an accent above a letter "o" in a title.
