ComicBase and Atomic Avenue have duplicated X-Men (1st Series) #134/A and #134/B as erroneous Bk 134/A and Bk 134/B.

Removed, thank you.

These issues are still in ComicBase and Atomic Avenue.

So, it might not have been fixed before, I might have just been starting while looking at a title that wasn't at the top of my list, thus performing a different sequence of actions. The problem is in which tool has the focus when you press the shift key while in the Select Titles window for Mass Change. If the focus is in the Title text box, pressing the Shift key is like typing a character, and the list filtering is triggered. If the focus is in the list, pressing the Shift key does not trigger the list filtering. The focus starts out in the Title Box (allowing someone to start out by typing a particular Title), so if you start off wanting to shift-select, you are typing the Shift while in the text box. Apparently, using the slide bar on the list does not pull focus from the Title text box. Today, I started while looking at "Avengers, The", and that naturally has me select the first item in the list before sliding to the last item and successfully shift-clicking the last item to select the whole list. But, if I start while looking at "3-D Color Classics", the first title I own, in that case, I naturally proceed to slide to the bottom of the list, and am unsuccessful at shift-clicking the last item, as the shift filters the list to the single title "3-D Color Classics". Start while looking at "Avengers, The" and just press shift, and the list filters. Start while looking at "3-D Color Classics", click on the "3-D Color Classics" at the top of the list, slide to the bottom, and you can now successfully shift-click on the last item. So, this is work-around-able, but you have to be aware of the problem and aware of how to work around it. This could be made invisible to the customer if coding is added to have the text box ignore pressing the Shift key before initiating filtering in the list box.

#2 should not exist. Cover is a duplicate of #2/A.

v26.2.2.4142 Selecting Multiple Titles in Mass Change is broken again, again.

1) If this is meant to be a progress bar for each individual cover, why does the text above the bar not mirror that fact by showing the file size of each cover as currently downloaded (0 kb / 100 kb, 5 kb / 100 kb, etc.), and instead the text starts with a running count of how many covers have been downloaded (Downloading 1 / 205, Downloading 2 / 206, etc.)? 2) If this is not meant to be a progress bar of total cover counts, why is there a gradual, lengthening progression in the flickering of the bar? (See description later) 3) Why would ComicBase want to show or the user want to see the progress of an individual file? A selling point of the modern ComicBase is the presumption that everyone has superfast internet, that on-demand file downloads are unnoticable. Why attempt to visualize what is expected to takes place in the blink of an eye? I changed my picture file location, which caused ComicBase to download 18 books covers, 3,298 comic covers, and 282 Magazine covers. Try it. The presentation for books, you can clearly see a 1-18 books download showing a 0-100% progress as part of the flicker. With Magazines, it goes slower, but again, you can see a gradual increase in the range of the flicker, but it doesn't appear to max out at 100%. With Comics, the growth is even slower, and again, it does not appear to ever reach 100%, or even 50%, but the flicker is gradually growing longer as the process continues.

Add Include Wanted as another, separate option along with Include Newsstand Editions

I've been reporting this for just over a year now. v26.2.0.4001, data update and still seeing flickering progress bars when downloading covers.

v26.2.0.4001, Repaired (again)

Crystal Reports before update, 13.0.33.4485 Crystal Reports after update, 13.0.36.5040 Gains and Loses report, and Item Checklist both operate correctly now. So, is this expected and required to upgrade ComicBase and have full functionality?

I had just 10 minutes ago run an Item Checklist to successful completion. I then did a program update to v26.2.0.4001, and a data update. Went to look at the Gains and Loses report, and was told there was a problem with my Crystal Reports installation. Same when I went to generate another Item Checklist. Gonna follow the instructions, uninstall all CB and Crystal Reports, download a fresh CB and reinstall, and will post an update. Just thought I'd let this be known earliest.

Why do we have character tags, when we already have the Appearances field?

We can submit updates of most data. We can request a price check. What about adding methods for requesting checks/updates on other things? Spelling error in a Title? Comic Book should be a Magazine? Wrong Publisher? Add a "Report this Title" button in the Title Modify window that collects a comment and submits it to the team. Issue in the wrong Title? Duplicative variant? Add a "Report this Issue" action in the right-click menu that collects a comment and submits to the team. Wrong cover/Cover needs editing, but either you don't have a new scan, or your scan is smaller than the existing scan? Add a "Report this Cover" action to the right-click menu that collects a comment and possibly a scan and submits to the team. Oh, and it would be nice if there was a feedback channel that could indicate reception, processing, acceptance or rejection, explanation, conversation...
