First thing I would do is upgrade to b2198. If the system does not inform you of this update to CB when you Check for Updates, you can either downloaded from the CB website (through My Account) or use menu item Setup->Preferences and Check the box next to 'Check for Interim Updates'. Then use menu item Internet->Check for Updates. The intermittent problems are the most difficult to find. If possible, can you tell if a certain sequence of events causes this? (And I know from experience it is not easy as you are doing various 'things' in CB and then the problem appears but you can't recall exactly all the 'things' you were doing.) PS And thanks for the clarification an the steps you used (i.e. editing a Cell as opposed to Edit Window). It helps to try recreating the problem to be exact as possible. For example, does it make a difference which cell you are editing?

What Edition of CB do you have (Archive, Pro, Express) and what is the version? Also, are you on a laptop or desktop (mainly interested in the screen size)? I tested with the steps you outlined: Go to Title 'Teen Titans, The' Scroll to issue 19 and double clicked to open the edit window. Closed edit window. Used F3 with 27. The results was getting #27 at the top of the window and highlighted with the correct #27 cover displayed. So, it worked for me on a large desktop monitor with the Archive edition version v25.5.1.2198. Doesn't really help with the problem you are having but just showing it works correctly for some people.

For Vampirella (3rd Series) containing #666 and up: From the Dynamite website: "To celebrate the start of Vampirella's sixth decade in comics, CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and ERGUN GUNDUZ continue their legendary run on the series with a mind-bending new story that launches with the landmark issue #666 - restoring the legacy numbering for the title that will continue going forward, reflecting all of Vampi's previous appearances in print. The road to #700 starts here!" CB appears to be handling this like it did with other Titles that changed numbering to reflect the entire run spanning many series. Examples: Wonder Woman (1st Series) 1 - 329 (1942-1986) 600 - 614 (2010-2011) 750 - 800 (2020-2022) Amazing Spider-Man, The 1 - 441 (1963-1998) 500 - 750 (2003-2014) 789 - 801 (2017-2018) ------------------ Vampirella (8th Series) has the Street Date set to March 26, 2025 so this series must have been set up with pre-order information.

I added the Title and basic information for this. Should (hopefully) show up in the next update.

(Sorry for the long post but this is a complicated situation with many 'moving parts...) "Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies 1932-1935: Starring Bucky Bug and Donald Duck" and "Silly Symphonies: A Companion to the Classic Cartoon Series (Walt Disney’s…)" are not duplicates. However, the cover IS a duplicate. ------------------------ "Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies 1932-1935: Starring Bucky Bug and Donald Duck" was a 2 issues series published by Fantagraphics in 2023 (CB does not have #2). Issue #1 covers Donald Duck and Bucky Bug from 1932-1935. Issue #2 covers Donald Duck and the Big Bad Wolf from 1935-1939. Note: These are 'Second Editions' of previous series of the same name from IDW printed in 2016-2017. The IDW series consisted of 4 issues (#1 1932-1935, #2 1935-1939, #3 1939-1942, and #4 1942-1945). (Not in CB). As far as I know, 'Fantagraphics' only did the first 2 issues.

Disney title in MyComicShop: https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=39681821 This is a Revised and Updated title from a Italian Publisher 'La Cineteca del Friuli' (but in English text) in 2006 (Not in CB). https://stuartngbooks.com/products/walt-disneys-silly-symphonies-a-companion-to-the-classic-cartoon-series-en 'La Cineteca del Friuli' title in MyComicShop: https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=47482293 Description from Amazon for Disney publication: Launched by Walt Disney in 1929 as a "musical novelty" series to complement his recent success with Mickey Mouse, the Silly Symphonies soon became much more. This line of delightfully innovative, animated cartoons ran for ten years and produced such classics as Three Little Pigs, The Tortoise and the Hare, Music Land, and The Old Mill. Silly Symphonies won every Academy Award. From the authors of the prize-winning Walt in Wonderland: The Silent Films of Walt Disney, this richly illustrated volume is a complete history of the Silly Symphonies including detailed entries for all the Symphonies along with a lengthy critical analysis and production history of the series. Note: I can't tell from the description (and can't find an inside view) but this looks more like a book about Silly Symphonies as opposed to a book with Comic material. May (and I stress 'may') be better as a Book Type. ======================================= Questions/Decisions Needed: IDW and Fantagraphics: Should the "Walt Disney’s" possessive be at the beginning of the Title at as a parenthetical (Walt Disney’s…) at the end? Fantagraphics: Since the Cover title and Indicia do not indicate numbering and each have a unique indicia, should this be 2 Titles ("Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies 1932-1935: Starring Bucky Bug and Donald Duck" and "Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies 1935-1939 Starring Donald Duck and the Big Bad Wolf") or 1 Title ("Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies") which is how the IDW title should be handled (IDW issues are numbered and have a common title for all)? Disney: For "Silly Symphonies: A Companion to the Classic Cartoon Series (Walt Disney’s…)", since it is a 'Revised and Updated' version of the Italian book, should both be in one Title? Or in two Titles? (I lean towards two but...). To Summarize: Both of these reprint Comic strips (whether from the Comic Book or Newspaper strips I am not sure but defiantly Comic Book Type). IDW (Not in CB) "Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies" with issues #1 1932-1935, #2 1935-1939, #3 1939-1942, and #4 1942-1945 published between 2016 and 2019. Fantagraphics: "Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies 1932-1935: Starring Bucky Bug and Donald Duck" has Issue #1 in CB and does NOT have #2 in CB. (reprints (at least) the first two issues by IDW) published in 2023. La Cineteca del Friuli (Not in CB): "Silly Symphonies: A Companion to the Classic Cartoon Series (Walt Disney’s…)" published in Italy in 2006 Disney: "Silly Symphonies: A Companion to the Classic Cartoon Series (Walt Disney’s…)" Published in 2016. NOTE: Both of these appear from the description to be about the Animated films and not comic material (but can't confirm) and MAY belong in Book Type. Suggestions: Delete 1-HC.jpg from "Silly Symphonies: A Companion to the Classic Cartoon Series (Walt Disney’s…)" as it is an incorrect duplicate of 1-HC.jpg in "Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies 1932-1935: Starring Bucky Bug and Donald Duck". (for the following Titles, I am going to assume "Walt Disney’s" should be a parenthetical possessive (Walt Disney’s…). If you don't think it is, put it as the beginning.) IDW: Add (one of these) Title "Silly Symphonies (Walt Disney’s…)" OR "Silly Symphonies (Walt Disney’s…, IDW)" OR "Silly Symphonies (IDW, Walt Disney’s…)" Issues 1/HC 2/HC 3/HC 4/HC Title choice depends if the Fantagraphic reprints use a different Title name OR if it uses the same Title name (which would need Publisher to distinguish between them. Not sure of the order: (Possessive, Publisher) or (Publisher, Possessive) Fantagraphic: Change "Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies 1932-1935: Starring Bucky Bug and Donald Duck" To either (if multiple titles): "Silly Symphonies 1932-1935: Starring Bucky Bug and Donald Duck (Walt Disney’s…)" AND "Silly Symphonies 1935-1939: Starring Donald Duck and the Big Bad Wolf (Walt Disney’s…)" Issue 1/HC for both of the above or (If a single Title) "Silly Symphonies (Walt Disney’s…, Fantagraphics)" OR "Silly Symphonies (Fantagraphics, Walt Disney’s…)" Issues 1/HC 2/HC (note the Fantagraphic issues are not numbered) Not sure of the order: (Possessive, Publisher) or (Publisher, Possessive) ============== NOTE: Both the La Cineteca del Friuli and Disney issues should 'probably' be changed to Type Books. But that is a guess. La Cineteca del Friuli/Disney Either single Title: "Silly Symphonies: A Companion to the Classic Cartoon Series (Walt Disney’s…)" Issues 1/HC 1/HC-2 (or 1/HC-A.

The really hard one is a name that looks like a possessive but isn't. As a (made up) example: "Walt Disney's Life in Pictures" At first glance, it looks like it should be 'Life in Pictures (Walt Disney's...)' except... If the contents are look at, it is a book that some one wrote to tell the story of Walt Disney in a picture format. Because of that, it would just be "Walt Disney's Life in Pictures" as Walt Disney doesn't 'own' anything (as opposed to Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, etc.). Fortunately, there aren't too many like this but it does happen.

Actually, since it is not a possessive, it should not be in parenthesis and just be 'Jim Henson Presents'. (I have mentioned this to Mark).

It doesn't appear to be in CB yet (they can get all variants, especially when they are from 'specialty' stores (like Unknown Comics)). I think it would be the next variant letter as Anl 1/H with an Item Description of Unknown Comics Foil Virgin Variant Cover by David Nakayama, a UPC of 75960620691900119 and a current Cover Price of $40.00 Information from Unknown website https://unknowncomicbooks.com/products/foil-scarlet-witch-annual-1-unknown-comics-david-nakayama-exclusive-virgin-var-06-21-2023?_pos=2&_sid=f39c4d5df&_ss=r

CB does not make any distinction between Direct market and Newsstand issues.

The old title had two covers SE 1.jpg and SE 1-A.jpg, both with 'Special Edition Preview'. The new title doesn't have any corresponding Issues. Not sure if the Issues just were not added or if these were Preliminary issues and never published.

I think CB relies on Windows settings for font sizing. What I would do is: Set the computers/monitors up in their original configuration (with the old laptop). If the Fonts are back the way you expect, go into Windows Display Settings and make note of all the various settings (mainly Scale and Display Resolution (but there may be others). Then, set the computers/monitors up in the new configuration (with new laptop). Go into Windows Display settings and compare the values from the old laptop. Hopefully, there will be a difference that can be corrected. If not, then Support is your best option.

While you can technically drag/drop covers to a Find result display (what is displayed after running a Find), and that result has multiple Titles/Issues, I would strongly suggest NOT doing it (especially for someone new to CB) as it is extremely prone to error and confusion). Here is why. A) Drag/Drop a Single Cover Scan 1) Click on an Issue of the Title you want to add it to (It could be any Issue for that Title, as CB just needs to know the Title name). You will know if it is ready when the display title at the top of the window changes to the correct Title you want. 2) Drag/Drop the single cover scan anywhere in the Find result display Grid (the issue you are over does NOT matter as CB will use the Title at the top of the window as the location to place the cover scan. Result: That single cover will go to the Correct Title. (unless you forgot to highlight the correct Title/Issue in which case it will go to the wrong Title). Sounds relatively simple and it will work like a regular Grid display (except for the extra work of selecting/highlighting an issue for the correct Title to let CB know where to place the Cover scan). HOWEVER, if you try to drag/drop multiple covers the results will NOT be what you expect or want. B1) Drag/Drop Multiple Cover Scans 1) Like a single Cover scan, you have to make sure the Title displayed at the top of the window is the correct Title. 2) Drag/Drop, the multiple titles to the Grid area. You don't have to put you mouse pointer on any specific issue as CB uses the Title that is displayed at the top of the window for the destination for the FIRST COVER in the list of multiple covers you are processing. After that first cover is (correctly) place, CB automatically changes the Highlighting back to whatever Title/Issue is first in the Find result display. This changes the Title name at the top of the window and ALL of the other Cover scans will go to that (incorrect) Title. (And you really have to pay attention to notice that is what happened.) Result: You have 1 cover scan in the correct location and all other Cover scans in the wrong location. This bad result when adding multiple Cover scans through a Find result display is made disastrous Is you are REPLACING multiple Cover scans. B2) Drag/Drop Multiple Cover Scans to Replace Other Cover scans (i.e. replacing smaller or incorrect covers). Steps 1 and 2 are the same as B1. 3) When replacing an Existing cover, another window is displayed comparing the original cover and the replacement cover asks if you want to replace that single cover or ALL of the covers that are being processed. If you select ALL, the first will work successfully but ALL of the others will replace (delete) the covers an incorrect Title. NOTE: The window to compare the covers ONLY displays if the scan are different sizes. If they happen to be the same size, you will NOT even be given the chance to cancel the process. The original cover will just be deleted and replaced by the new (probably incorrect) cover. Result: You have 1 Cover scan successfully replacing a Cover scan in the correct Title but ALL other Cover scans being process will will DELETE cover scans in an incorrect Title, replacing them with wrong Cover scans. And unless you have the Archive Edition, you can't download the accidentally deleted covers to replace them. NOTE: When asked if you want to replace a cover, if you select Yes, just the one Cover scan will be process and the next will open the same window. In this case the coves will NOT match but there is no indication which Title the original (possible replacement). You are left wondering why the covers don't match (and if you think about it instead of mindlessly clicking 'Yes' you can cancel out of the process). Simply put, unless you know what you are doing and are willing to deal with the mess that can be made (assuming you even notice the mess at the time it happens) do NOT use the Find result grid to add Cover scans.

A few pointers. If you are not sure where the Pictures folder is located you can use menu item File->File Tools and select 'Manage Pictures and Movies'. By default it is C \Users\Public\Documents\Human Computing but you can change it to be a different location. Note: When changing the Pictures folder location, you want to select the folder that CONTAINS the Pictures folder and not the actual Pictures folder. Alternately, if some covers are shown, go to a Title with covers then, on the large cover display (top left corner), right-click and select 'Show Picture File'. This will show you where the pictures are located. To add the Cover scan to CB, it needs to have a .JPG extension. When naming the cover scan use type the Item # as shown (in Grid View), changing any '/' to a '-' (due to windows file name constraints. Examples: Item # File-name 1 1.jpg 1/A 1-A.jpg Bk 1 Bk 1.jpg As Fred mentioned, the drag/drop method is the best way to add cover scans and let CB create the Title folder in the correct location. Go to the Title you want to add cover scans to, select the cover to add, left-click and hold the button as you drag/drop it in CB's grid area. NOTE: it can be anywhere in the grid area. It does not have to be on a specific line in the grid area. You should be able to create your own Title folders, but the rules for them are more complex than naming cover scan files. There are more special characters than ':' that need to be replaced and articles ('The', 'A', and non-us equivalents) are at the end of the name except if they come after a ':' when they are left at the beginning. Title: 'The Avant-Guards' Filename: is 'Avant-Guards, The' Title: 'The Legend of Jamomere: The Blue Wizard' Filename: 'Legend of Jamomere, The: The Blue Wizard' As mentioned previously, it is best to let CB name the Title files. If you are still having problems, more detailed information may be needed. Also when adding Books, be careful of the Binding. Mass Market Paperbacks (MMPB) are approx 4.25 x 7 inches (plus/minus a little bit). If the softcover book is larger or smaller, it would be a Paperback (TPB).

It looks like the newest CB update (25.5.1) 'Adds support for Avery 5167 and 5266 Labels for title dividers'.

The support email address is support@comicbase.com

I am not sure an automated system would work. At the time of the Update, the process doesn't know the reason for the change that would cause 'orphans' (covers on disk with no matching issue in the database). The way I think the Update process works is: NOTE1: I am just referring to times that would cause Cover 'orphans and ignoring other data changes): NOTE2: When mentioning deletions below, CB will only delete when Qty is 0 (at issues level or Title level). Copy of the CB Master Database is downloaded. A process runs that compares the Master Database with your Database. If the Title exists in both and the Title/Publisher are the same, it is ignored (No Title change) If the Title exists in your Database but not the Master Database, your Title is deleted. If the Title does not exist in your database but exists in the Master Database, the Title is added. NOTE1: The New added Title could be in the same or a different Type. NOTE2: A deleted issue may have a new issue added as a replacement or just deleted as the duplicate is already in the database. Similar logic at the Issue level. In Both: no change. In yours and not Master: deleted. Not in yours but in Master: added. When processing, there is no relationship between the Deleted Title/Issue and the Added Title/Issue for CB to know what covers to Delete/Rename/Move. A new column or two could be added so this relationship is known at Update time but the Editors would need to manually add this when approving changes. The old Title/Issue would need to be recorded. Even then, if a Title/Issue is being deleted, due to a duplicate already in the database, there would be no Title/Issue to note the relationship to. You could add this information to the correct Title/Issue duplicate being left in the database, but that would be a manual process. You can get the program to do most things but the complexity, processing time, and maintenance cost have to be considered. Also, the process would break one of the tenets of CB. That is to delete nothing that you 'own'. This would include the Cover scans since they may be ones you scanned. If not deleted, a process would need to be added to check for an existing cover and rename it and if not existing then to download to the new Title/Issue (for the rename both the Old and New Title/Issue would be needed).

Which Avery template are you trying to use? I don't think the Label list in CB dynamically created based on 'installed' template downloads. Instead, I think they are hard-coded to a set list. If you supply the information about the Avery Label you want to use, maybe it will get added to CB.

Submitting the correction can be done. Just have to be careful of the Item # (especially if you were going from Comic Books to Books as the Binding is not automatically assigned). But you should definitely let the editors know (email to support and/or this forum but the email is probably better) so the Title in the wrong Type can be deleted.

You can move a Title to a different Media Type by using menu item Edit->Change Series Media Type.. Navigate to the Title you want to move, then use menu item Edit->Change Series Media Type... and select the Type it want it moved to. NOTE: While you can do this in you database, it is best to notify the editors so they can make the change and it gets populated into all the databases in an update. You will have to manually move any issues you own after the Updated (which can be identified by 'Unrecognized Items').

I can think of two possible ways. 1) If you have the Archive Edition, and Advanced Find with a WHERE like: I.Title LIKE '%Batman%' and I.QtyInStock >= 1 Would display All issues you own for a Title that contains 'Batman' somewhere in the Title. NOTE: By removing the first wildcard character (the first %), it would look for Titles that started with 'Batman'. This may be too much to look through which is where the other option comes in. 2) Click on the Titles icon (in the upper right corner between the Arrow icons) or use CTRL+T to bring up the Titles window. At the top, you can click on the radio button next to 'Series in stock' to only list Titles with comics you own. Then Type in the text box the Title name you are looking for to get a list of Titles you own. NOTE: There is one difference between using the Titles window and using the Find search box at the top-middle of the main display. The Find search box will list possible titles from ALL Types (Books, Comic Books, Magazines and/or Newspapers) while the Title window will only display Titles for ONE Type (the Type you are currently displaying in the main display).

And one more addendum. If someone was using the Old database to sell on Atomic Avenue (AA), After switching to the newly created database, you (most likely) would need to remove the inventory posted from the Old database and re-post it from the New database. (I think AA using the unique database identifier number to keep things straight and the Old database and the New database would have different database ids.) I don't sell on AA so the above is how I believe it works without any actually having used the process.

Great. Just an FYI for anyone who reads this later. After Importing the 2024 values back to the old database, you would probably need to do what Pete suggested above by mass change Price to 2024 values or using Setup > Grading, double-click to edit and grade and click "Save". Either should set the Price either directly (mass Change) or through Calculation (Edit Grading).
