trade paperbacks and scanning
Steven L. Dasinger replied to TaraChandra M. Narumanchi's topic in Tech Support
CB has 2 fields: UPC and ISBN (There is also an AltUPC but that can be ignored for now) For modern Books the UPC is the composed of a composite of ISBN-13 + a checksum + Price ISBN contains the ISBN-10 number. (You can try to put the ISBN-13 there but if you the entire value in UPC and TAB out of the field, it will automatically fill in the ISBN-10 number (as CB decodes it). For your scanner to work successfully, it must be able to pick up the last 5 digits (get the full UPC). If it doesn't it will pick up what is the ISBN-13 number that is not stored in CB. Unfortunately, I can't tell you how to set up your scanner. You will need to get a manual for it which should have the codes to set it up properly, if it is capable of doing so. Not all scanners can do this. Your other book software must store the ISBN-13 number which is why it works there. PS Alt UPC is used when some older books have two UPC number. For example, Book title 'Losers, The (Del Rey)' MMPB has 07099900599738520 on the back cover and 978034538520850599 on the inside of the front cover.- 1 reply

"Titillating Tales of Dolly, The!" is incorrect as it displays just like that ("Titillating Tales of Dolly, The!"). It should be "Titillating Tales of Dolly!, The" to display properly as "The Titillating Tales of Dolly!". -

Can't Locate Title (error trying to add Media files)
Steven L. Dasinger replied to Samer Meshreki's topic in Tech Support
A little more information. The following names work: 1.pdf 1-HC.pdf Bk 1-A.pdf FCBD 2013.pdf 1-HC-2.pdf These names do NOT work: Bk 1-HC.pdf Dlx 1-HC.pdf Just ending in HC works successfully. But if there is a <space> in the name AND it ends with HC, it doesn't work. -

Steven L. Dasinger replied to Gregory Hecht's topic in Content and Corrections
I added these and I believe the possessive is actually part of the title. But I could be wrong. If so, I think one would be Darkover (Marion Zimmer Bradley's…, Marion Zimmer Bradley Literary Works Trust) with both qualifiers in one set of parenthesis. If it helps to make a decision, 'Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover' is an anthology book that contains stories written by MZB (actually most are reprints from earlier anthologies). -

If you mean 'What If-- Dark- Loki', the actual title does not have a double dash ('What If…? Dark: Loki'), it is just that windows can't create a file name with … or ? so they are each replaced by a dash. -

Make Condition and # owned more visible
Steven L. Dasinger replied to Bryan England's topic in ComicBase Mobile
It appears to be a problem within the mobile app. When in Dark mode, the text for Condition is White on a White background. The text should be Black (like Qty) on the White background so it is visible. -

Suggestion. Reports by Publishers
Steven L. Dasinger replied to Ronald Lashley's topic in Feature Suggestions
If a Quick Report will work for you, you can do an Advanced Find for Publisher (one or more) and use Quick Report on the results. If you have to use one of the 'canned' reports For Collection Report, Item Checklists, Price List, and Wanted Lists you can find the issues by Publisher, Mark all of them and select 'List only Marked Issues'. For all reports, you can choose Selected Series, click on Publisher to order by Publisher, click the first title for a publisher, scroll down to the last title for that publisher, press and hold SHIFT then click on that last title. NOTE: None of these would be as easy as a dedicated set of Publisher reports. I am only trying to supply ways to get what you are looking for until this can be evaluated (and incorporated into CB?). -

New title to database
Steven L. Dasinger replied to Arnold S. Hermanson's topic in Content and Corrections
Is this the series you are looking for? https://atomicavenue.com/atomic/series/11380/1/Man-from-UNCLE-The-2nd-Series -
It is by design. Certain abbreviations work without the period but others don't. Vs is one of these that requires the period. I asked Pete about this awhile back so I can't remember all the details.

You will have a problem with accessing the directory structure based on CB title names. CB titles are Unicode. Windows file structure isn't so they won't compare/match up (then there are the forbidden window file characters that are used in CB titles (like, : / ?*)

Scott, What is what? Sorry, saw a different topic title. The Cover Catalog is something Andre put together. It is basically every Archive Cover in a pdf document.

No. Alphabetized Title is a hidden column and is not displayed / accessible in the program (other than Advanced Find where it can be accessed with table name qualifier but still not displayed). The closest you can get is a list of Titles IN Alphabetized Title order. If you numbered them sequentially, you could use that number to get them in that order outside of CB.
