Mark, I just tested this out (using v1851) In my case it DID add all the scanned in items, but... the Display Items After Saving check box, doesn't work as expected. Since Books, Comic Books, and/or Magazines can't be displayed on the same screen, not all the items will be displayed. It will end up displaying the last item scanned in. And it will ONLY display that one item (actually the Title the Item is in). Example: Scan in Book 1, Comic 1 and the display after save will only show Comic Title 1. Scan in Comic 1, Book 1 and the display after save will only show Book Title 1. Scan Comic 1, Book 1, Comic 2 and the display after save will only show Comic Title 2 (Comic 1 is not displayed).

Keep in mind for the Pro Edition there are only ~50,000 covers. With 62.000+ Titles in CB, that is less than 1 cover per title. As for a manual, that would be a no. Pete address this in his last Livestream (#52). CB was set up to record whenever the User Guide was opened and it turned out the manual was only opened a very small amount of times. It was decided for the amount of work to manage/maintain a manual that was hardly ever used was hard to justify.

You should be able to use menu item Edit->Change Title Media Type.

A couple of questions. What Edition of CB do you have (Express, Pro, Archive)? How you downloaded and installed the Pictures? You can download the picture install files from the same location as the program (under My Account->Registrations, then click the green download arrow). Once downloaded, you can use CB menu item File->Install Pictures and Movies. The reason I asked what Edition you have is because each edition has a different number of covers: Express has ~5,000 covers Pro has ~50,000 covers Archive has All the available covers (~700,000).

I can't answer either of those questions... But, if your purchase has completed successfully, go to the ComicBase Website and select My Account (you will need to create a Userid/Password if you haven't already (and since you are on this forum, you probably already have that completed)). Under Registrations you should see the product you purchased. Click the green download arrow next to it.

What download are you referring to?

The Complete Steve Canyon #11 has a Note of "Outside on Dust Jacket and Cover identifies as Volume Nineteen". This is incorrect information and should be removed. The 'Nineteen' isn't a volume number. it is the Century part of the year being reprinted in the books (i.e. Nineteen 67-68). If you look, all the covers have Nineteen on them. I have submitted a correct with it removed, but Notes is a 'stubborn' field and this type of information could remain, even after an update (depending on your settings). So, I am posting the information here, for those who may want to ensure it is removed from their database.

I second, this suggestion.

When I open Collections Statistics (F12), using V1851, it randomly selects the type of Breakdown.

For new items, use Menu item Setup->Preferences... Near the bottom, change Standard Cost from Zero to Cover Price and Discount to 0%. NOTE: You can, of course, use other settings but the above will set Cost to Cover Price. For the following, make a copy or backup before proceeding, just in case 'something' goes horribly wrong... This will change ALL Issues and not just the ones you own (although you can limit it to just Titles you own). For existing items, I you can try Menu item Items->Mass Change. Select Mass Change. Set Change to COST Set To to Field, Cover Price Next to Apply To, click on the Selected Titles (this will bring up a Title Select window). At the top, next to Show, click on Titles in Stock. In the display, to to the top and click on (high-light) the first title. Then go to the bottom. Press and Hold the SHIFT key the select the last title. NOTE: This should select/high-light all Titles (that you own). Click OK. Next to Selected Titles should be a number for the amount of titles selected. If everything looks okay (and you did make a copy/backup, right?) click Make Change. You will be informed that this can not be undone (hence, the copy/backup...). click okay to implement. Having Item's you don't own with a Cost shouldn't hurt anything. Alternately, depending on the Edition of CB you have, you could try to Export the items you own, import to a spreadsheet, make the changes there, save the results, then Import back into CB.

Not sure this will help, but can you update to the same version (v1827) as I have (and it works on my computer)? If that doesn't help, you may need to email support at support@comicbase.com.

First, let's check to see if a normal find works. Do a Find for Item Field: Price Choose 'Is Between' from the drop-down box. Enter 1000.00 and 2499.99 in the two boxes. Run this. If you get 5 issues displayed, then the find is working and something about the ComicBase Statistics isn't working. If you get the same 'No Matching Items were found', I would try using File->File Tools and Rebuild Lists. Specifically Item Information but it won't hurt to run the first 3 or 4 items. After that, check the Find again (either with Find or in ComicBase Statistics. PS I tried the ComicBase Statistics find for Value and my Archive Edition v1827 seems to work.

I believe it is "Tathagata Palm" by Huang Yulang. Here is a link to a translated page: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-TW&u=http://daaaer80.blogspot.com/2012/11/part-1.html&prev=search&pto=aue The cover is way down the list (#130). PS To find this, I saved the image than used it in a Google Image search.

Are you sure about that? Looking at the index on Grand Comics Database (GCD), it appears to be about 15 pages of text (maybe with some illustrations) and a 4 page Grendel (comic) story. I don't have it but if it is mostly a comic story, then it should be moved. Otherwise, I am not sure it should be. PS It really doesn't matter to me where it goes.

Thanks. I see now that it is currently listed under The Saga of the Swamp Thing. I know nothing about either of these titles but Annual #3 dated for 1987. The Saga of the Swamp Thing ran from 1982- 1986 (last issue dated February 1986). Swamp Thing (2nd Series) ran from 1986 - 1996 (first issue dated Mar 1986) Just going by those dates It would appear it should have been left in the 2nd Series but, as you stated, the indicia may have played a part.

Not sure if you are asking for a new feature or if you just need it for your database. You can add your own grades using menu item Setup->Grading... Then click on the green 'plus' button (top right corner). Then next window will ask for the Media Type (you can have different grades for Books, Comic Books, and Magazines), Grade (name), Abbreviation, and % of NM. You will need to repeat the above steps for each grade you want to create. Hint, get the percent of NM from the other grades before you start.

Scott, not sure if you have tried this but, Go to the CB website and, in you account, change your password. I think the badges are tied to your logon id (as opposed to a database). If badges are not being updated, it can't 'find' you (so to speak). Not sure how many Items you have entered into your database but there are badges for inventory levels of 125, 200, 500, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 50,000 issues.

When entering Books into CB the Binding Type needs to be considered. For this post, I am only addressing MMPB (Mass Market Paperback) and TPB (Paperback) in the United States. NOTE: HC should have used Trade Paperback instead of just Paperback in the drop-down box to be less of a problem. MMPB are smaller in size. Generally around 4.25 x 6.75 inches. TPB are larger. Around 5.5 x 8.5 or 6 x 9 or even 8.5 x 11 inches. Most of what most people thing of as Paperback books are MMPB. Go to any drug store of grocery and just about all the softcover books you see are MMPB. TPB are have better quality paper and are printed with a larger type-face. They are generally sold in Book Stores. When enter books, check the size and use the correct Binding Type. This will help by not having to get these renamed later. For example: The Avenger (Warner) has all the books in the series listed as TPB. They are not. They are MMPB and will all need to be renamed.
