Click on the View drop-down box (just below the menu line). Then select Items To Show->Owned Items. This will only display Titles with Issues you own and only those Issues you own in those Titles. This Display should stay in place when you close CB and reopen it. If, however, you want only one display with all your owned issues, you will need to do a Find or a Report.

There really isn't much to it currently. Scan at 300 dpi (or less, if you like but over doesn't really do anything). Crop and straighten. Save as .jpg at the least compression (for Photoshop Elements, that would be a 12). That's about it.

CB can do this for you. Go to the Title you want to move. Then use the menu and select Edit->Change Media Type->(type to change to). CB will then do the work of moving the Title/Item #'s to the different media type.

The basics to adding an Item # (Issue) that is not in CB are: Go to the Title you want to add the missing Item # to. Click on the + button (located above the grid on the right side of the window) By default, it will be filled in with the next Item #. You can change this for the Item # that you are adding the variant. For a first Variant, you would normally just need to change the Variation to the next available letter. ex. If there are no variants listed, you could choose Variation A. If there are already Variations A, B, and C, you can choose Variation D. You can change/add other values, as needed. i.e. Cover Price, Cost, Condition, etc.

You are doing nothing wrong. Because CB 2020 starts so much faster, there isn't really much time for anything to play. So the startup music was removed.. If enough people ask, Pete might do something about changing this.

Open Sidekick Click on the Setting icon (looks like a gear in top right-hand corner If not already there, click on the General Tab at the top. Click on the green + button. Navigate to your database. This is normally in C:\Users\<logon-id>\Documents\Human Computing\ComicBase Databases. If not there do a windows search for *.cbdb (the file extension for ComicBase Databases) to find it. Once you have found it, click on it and click the Open button.

Yes. For the most part, individuals need to correct the errors and submit them. It may take awhile for the corrections to be reviewed / updated. Until then, the mistakes will come back with the next update. You can run File->File Tools - Rebuild Lists, Item Information to update the indexes after you have made changes to remove them from searches.

Paul, CB 2020 was a complete rewrite in a different programming language and database system. So it is possible there is some difference between CB 2017 and CB 2020.

A couple of things you can look at. Is Sidekick running? Right-click on the Task bar (or use CTRL+ALT+DEL) and select Task Manager Click on the Startup tab. See if Sidekick is listed and Status is Enabled. If not, Right-Click on it and select Enable. This will start Sidekick the next time you start your computer. If it IS Enabled, then you may just may need to display the icon in the Tray area. Click on Start, then Settings. Then select Personalization. Then select Taskbar. Part way down under Notification Area, click on the hyperlink 'Select which icons appear on the Taskbar'. If Sidekick is in the list, select the button to turn it ON. If Sidekick isn't running... Click on Start. Scroll down to ComicBase 2020... and expand it. Right-click on ComicBase Sidekick and select More > Open File Location. Right-click on ComicBase Sidekick shortcut and select Open File Location. Double click on ComicBase Sidekick.

According to Pete in Wednesday's ComicBase Livestream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSplMPZH9Vk) it doesn't look like they will have a SDCC sale as there is not SDCC this year. You can watch the video and confirm if I heard it correctly.

When using Quick Change on Fields that contain multiple values is you have to list all the values. For example if the Artist field has J. Scott Cambell, Jack Kirby. If you do a Quick Change to correct Cambell, and just typed J. Scott Campbell, the Artist would just contain J. Scott Campbell. The Jack Kirby entry would be erased. You could try to change it to J. Scott Campbell, Jack Kirby if you just had the one row. But if you have multiple rows, then they would all be set to the same value you entered (either just J. Scott Campbell or J. Scott C\ampbell, Jack Kirby. For the most part, the names with typos only occur a just one or a few rows. The best, easiest way I have found is to just type in the correction manually and then submit the corrections. PS when manually changing, I then to use Paste to insert the missing value as it would cause other names after it to be erased. Or I would copy the rest of the row, type the changes, then paste the info back. Or you could just copy the whole set of values to Notepad, make changes then paste it all back.

What edition of CB do you have? I have the Archive Edition (v3663) and Popular Comics #103 has a cover in my database. I removed it from the folder and attempted to down load it which it did successfully.

Sorry, you are right. I mistook the 'we don't have one' for the upload instead of on the download as we clearly stated...

If you were presented the dialog box of "Do you Want to Submit Your Cover" (not exact text but close enough) and you clicked Yes, the the cover was submitted. In CB 2017 there was an additional dialog box after letting you know how many covers were sent. CB 2020 doesn't have this additional dialog box.

It has been awhile but I don't recall any major problems. Pay to upgrade to Archive Edition. Down the Archive Edition. You can either Un-Install the Pro Edition and then install the Archive Edition (probably safest) or (possibly) just install the Archive Edition (which should do the un-install for you). The only thing I can think of that could give a problem is if the Serial # of the Archive Edition is different from your Pro Edition Serial #. You can check in you account act ComicBase.com by looking at the Registrations. If it is different, you will need to enter it somewhere ( I can't seem to find where but you may be prompted for it when installing or first opening the database. If you have problems send an email to Support@comicbase.com. Also, either order the disks to get all the covers or download all the picture files then install them from inside CB. You will use the same database as it is not deleted during any install process.
