  1. Menu item Edit-Find and Replace (or CTRL+H) will allow you to search and/or replace in either one of many (text?) columns, or, if you like to live dangerously (and have a backup...), you Find and/or Replace in ALL the columns at once (but you will NOT get a preview before the change (hence, the 'live dangerously)). This will do single items in a multi-item field (ex. any of the creator fields, Appearances, Storylines, etc.)
  2. Uh, no, the staple is just on the right side instead of the left and the front cover is what you would see if laid down with the staples on the right.
  3. I am following the information correctly, for certain covers to be ordered, they must be 'unlocked' by first ordering a certain number or percentage of another cover or issue (or whatever parameter the publisher decides to 'unlock' the ability to order).
  4. If you are referring to indicia being in all upper-case for some/most comics, this is not used (all upper-case) in title names by anyone.
  5. Sorry. A mis-statement I started to type, then change my thought but forgot to re-read/remove the mis-statement...
  6. Covers are displayed as the comic would be held when being read. They are not rotated just they may look better that way. At least that used to be the process. I was going to use the 'Sins of Youth' books as an example, however, all but one has been rotated on it's side to 'look better' (Sins of Your: JLA, Jr. being the only 'correct' one). I wonder if HC has changed their policy or if they 'got through' the submit process.
  7. I wouldn't consider them connecting covers but several sites seems to do so. As you pointed out, only D and E have any image crossover and the others that could have (A, left side of D and F) don't have any cross over. I would consider these more a set of similar covers (sort of like the 'Face' covers Marvel and DC did several years ago) where each issue was done in the same style (some border, main character head shot, etc) then a true '*ptych' cover.
  8. Recently, cover scans that include the back cover of non-wraparound covers have been allowed (or at least not rejected) because they can supply useful information for identification (especially variant covers which are only identified there). This particular cover is too small to read anything so I can't say if it does have that information or not (but the UPC may be considered useful). I will let HC make the final decision, however.
  9. I still think 'Contrast' is a terrible description but I am not coming up with anything better (but there should be).
  10. For those that don't know the 'C.A.T. in WIldC.A.T.s stands for Cover Action Team (or Teams). Technically, the creators should have made the title 'WildC.A.Ts.' but they didn't. Per the indicia and cover, 'WildC.A.Ts. (6th Series)' should be 'WildC.A.T.s' (period after 'T' but not after 's'). I can't verify 'Absolute WildC.A.T.S. but I would be very surprised if there is actually a period after the 's'. For all the rest, the 's' should be lower-case. (this can be confusing since a lot of covers and most indicia use all upper-case).
  11. First, I will say just because something looks like it might have a connecting cover doesn't mean there is one. However, in this case it is part of a triptych. If you go 'The One Stop Shop' web site here ( https://tosscomics.com/search?q=we+don't+kill+spiders&type=product&product_cat=all ) and scroll to the bottom, it looks like Ben Bishop did do a triptych set of 3 covers but they are not connecting covers. (they are not in order but are labeled correctly (2 of 3, 1 of 3, 3 of 3).
  12. I think you mean 'Regular' Find and not 'Advanced' Find. If not, can you post your Where statement from the Advanced Find?

  14. What I am trying to say, is is I (or anyone else) submitted an addition/correct and did NOT put the info you want at the beginning, it won't be at the beginning. If you are the only one submitting the information, it (probably) won't be changed.
  15. Item Description is just a text field. If you have more than one item (separated by semi-colon), the only way to ensure a certain sequence is programmatically. Which means someone (Pete) would have to write a process to try to identify a particular string, they manipulate the data to get a certain order. Not saying it can't be done, but it may not be worth the time an effort.
  16. I don't believe you can guarantee, the order of different items in a field.
  17. Going by an on-line scan, on the back of #1, it has Cover A. The Credits however, don't mention multiple artists. The back of the others do not have Cover A (or anything else about other issues.
  18. Downloaded and followed steps. Encounter the following problems. When click on Refresh, Error Message: Initialization of the data source failed... A) Can you supply the steps/options to define a new Connection? OR B) It looks like Tab Item Checklist is a list of your data. Can I replace yours with copy/Paste?
  19. My guess is that in you Update options, you have 'Remove Obsolete Series' and/or 'Remove Obsolete Items' checked (in CB or in SideKick). See Attached. If you do, whenever you run an Update, CB will delete Issues or Titles if they are not in the Master Database. The exception is if you have QTY set to 1 or more. The is will NOT delete them.
  20. When it finishes syncing I will download and try it.
  21. PS This is ONLY for Comic Books. I was able to successfully duplicate issues in Books, Magazines and Newspapers.
  22. That helps. I am able to recreate your problem. (I didn't save before since I didn't really want a duplicate). Select a row. Select Duplicate. Make a change (to create a another issue (i.e. Condition or, Type or Variation)). Click Save. Nothing happens. No issues is created. I have left the title and returned (to refresh) and still no new issue. I have run Rebuild lists Issue Information and still no new issue.
