Not sure what you mean by scan books to a list, but there is a way to make a change to multiple items at one time.
That is with Quick Change (CTRL + G).However, to be able to use Quick Change you need to be able to select multiple items. You can do this this with a Find.
If you have a way to do a Find to select all the items, that would be the easiest but isn't always possible.
In those cases you can use the Marked column (you may have to use Setup->Columns to View to see it.Once you have it displayed you can click on the box to Mark it. Continue by Marking all the items you have sent and you can then use Find where Mark is Checked to get the result.
After, that select all the found items and use Quick Change as needed.-

Try this:

I am not sure but I think it is (only?) use for Digital Only issues.
I did a Find for all the current Digital comics listed in CB (Find Variation Is Dig) and any that have notes have Digital Only. The Ones that didn't have notes only had Digital Issues in Title.
Since you can add a Digital comic to a non-digital Issue, this make some sense.
-
A Variation of Digital (displays as Dig) has been added so you can use that when you create a new Digital issue.
As for the Digital Code sticker, that would probably be a matter of opinion. You could get really picky collectors who would consider the removal as negative for condition. Others probably won't care and could expect it to be removed.
My bigger concern, long term, is what the glue used to mount that sticker will do to the page( s ) over time.
-
Use of the CTRL for selecting non-consecutive items is a Windows function.
Can you use CTRL in CB just to select non-consecutive Items (issues)?
Also, try opening an Windows Explorer window (outside CB) and see if you can use CTRL to select non-consecutive files. If it works there, it should work in CB.
It works on my Windows computer so it coup be a Parallels thing (maybe some setting is needed).
-
To select non-consecutive Titles, press and Hold the CTRL key while clicking on the Titles (you can release the CTRL key while scrolling as long as you remember to press/hold it again before selecting more).
The print is to small for me to read on the item checklist window but since it has a Red box around it, it needs something selected/corrected before the Print button will become active.
-
Have you tried clicking in 'Selected Titles' in the Titles to Print' area?
-
If I follow what you are doing, you have the text Custom Field 1 box (renamed to Autograph) filled in with the name of the person who signed an issue.
To Find all of those issues (and maybe a few other things) if to do a Find with Item Fields of Custom Field 1 (or Autograph), Is Greater Than. You can leave the value box empty.
This should find all the issues that have 'something' typed in the Custom Field 1 text box.
-
Currently, there are only Custom Check boxes at the Title level.

CB already har these Titles (with issues):
Avengers (AAFES), #13 & 14
Captain America (AAFES), #17
Iron Man (AAFES), #15
New Avengers (AAFES), #3 & 19
Thor (AAFES), #16
My guess is that sometime in the past there was an AAFES Title (and associated Picture folder with covers) but HC decided to make them separate Titles. This 'orphan' picture folder, which no longer had a Title, was then associated with the new Title you created and therefore these older, 'orphaned' covers were displayed.
Not sure about the Qty value changing or credits and I am not advocating for separate Titles or combining them. Just trying to explain why the covers 'just appeared'.
PS If you do a Find in Notes that Contain AAFES, you can find all 17 issues listed in CB.

I would suggest getting a barcode scanner (assuming you don't have one or that you can afford one). Barcodes started in the mid-70's. However, at the beginning, they used the same numbers over every year (i.e. the number used for Feb 1978 would be the same number used for Feb 1979). By the 80's, I believe, they were using the longer, more unique codes.
CB has a lot of these already in the system (but not all, by any means).
By using a barcode scanner, assuming the number is already in CB, with the 'Add by Barcode' menu item, it will find the issue being scanned, even if it is a non-intuitive location.If you don't have/want a barcode scanner, you will need to find each issue and change the Qty (in Stock) from 0 to 1 (or more if you have duplicates).
If you know the Grade of the issue, you can change it on the 'Add by Barcode' window.
Or you after entering the issues, you could use the 'Grading Item' menu option to get a general idea of the grade.If you have the Pro or Archive Edition, you can set up Custom Fields for thing like Location (box number).
If you can't find a particular Issue, post information (and a cover scan would be helpful) and someone may be able to help you find it.

Yes. The line between Comic Books and Books is a little fuzzy.
Are Official Marvel Index to... Titles Books or Comic Books (currently in Comic Books). They are not stories. They are information on characters, creators, and have a synopsis, along with some illustrations (mostly of covers).
The same could be said about Planet Hulk: Gladiator Guidebook (which was recently moved from Books to Comic Books). It is not a comic story. Again, it is just information on characters and places.
So, are these Who's Who's, Guidebooks, Indexes, etc. considered Comic Books or Books? Per 'it is an illustrated story where the artwork is needed for the story (as opposed to just random/spot illustrations that if removed would make no difference)', then all of these are Books.
But I can see how some people would want them in Comic Books.

Just started the Update and it is past the part were it got the error. Appears to be working normally, now.
-
There may be a problem with it. If you click on the link (on the CB website) of the Last Content Update, all that shows up are one Changed Book Title and a bunch of Changed Comic Book Titles. There should be more information than that in it.
-
Gregory, Photoshop may be involved but there is a difference between the cover scans of 1/B and 1/C.
Looking at the box to the left of the logo, (where the prince is located), 1/B has the word REPRINT down the left side next to Luke. 1/C does NOT have the word REPRINT.
If it is not altered, maybe the should be 1/B (but the one without the REPRINT) and 1/B-2 (the one with REPRINT).
-
Joel, it can make some sense. The way the logic goes is a 2nd or 3rd print run is much lower print run (fewer issues printed) than a 1st printing. Therefore, it can be a rarer, hard to find version. That scarcity could cause a higher price.
I am not saying I agree with this logic, but there is enough validity to it that it can cause later printings to be priced higher than 1st printings.
-
Not sure if this will fix any thing, but you can try File->File Tools and Optimize Database. Also Rebuild Lists, Series Information may help.
-
There is no real limit. The only requirements are they be .JPG and named correctly. What error are you getting?
-
What Edition of CB do you have? If you can Export / Import your data (I think you need Archive or maybe Pro to do this), that may be a way to get your data into a new database.
If you have a current subscription for CB 17, I would run download the last Weekly update, Create a new 2021 database and run the download on that database to get them in sync (new / delete Titles and Issue).
If you do import data, do a search for 'Unknown Publisher' to find any Items that couldn't be matched.
Finally, you will come across issues relating to Books and Magazines being split out into their own view. After you do the Import, I would force another Weekly Update (do this by pressing and holding the SHIFT key while selecting Check for Updates). This will generate a list of unmatched Titles/Issues (most like Books and Magazines) that you can use Edit->Change Media Types to place in the proper locations.
Or, contact support@comicbase.com and see if they can help you convert your old database.
