The behavior of the drag/drop has changed in CB 2020. Instead of dragging to the Cover image area (top left corner), you drag/drop it in the grid area (it does not have to be on the exact Item # line, just anywhere in the grid area.
When the new way (to the grid area), it will create the folder (if needed).

1: It appears that the defect that causes the lowest down-grade is included. If there is another less severe defect it isn't listed. In the bottom left corner, you can see the text that will be added to the Grading notes as you grade an issue.
For example, Select Binding Quality of "slight mis-centering of cover" lowers to NM/9.4 (with text displayed)
Continuing and changing Tape to "Moderate (less than 2"...)" lowers to G/2.0 with the text changes to the Tape information. Since the first mis-centered info was less of a down-grade, it is ignored.
If needed, you could manually edit the Grading Notes and add additional information.2: If you are asking which Items have Grading Notes, you can do a Find for Item Field "Grading Notes" and use Is Greater Than <space> (press the space bar in the text box).
If you are asking for which ones you have Graded which didn't generate any grading notes (no down-grading of condition), I can't see how that could be found. If you have Custom Columns, you could use a Custom Check box to indicate Graded.3: I am not an AA expert but I think just the master database cover (the one at HC) is used on AA. Your own cover isn't displayed.

But to answer your question on how to add a new Title to CB:
First you need to know the publisher and how it is used in CB. For some reason, in the distant past, it was decided to remove part of the publisher name. For example, instead of "Hermes Press", CB has "Hermes". You might try to find other Titles by that Publisher to see how CB entered it. Once you have the Publisher:Use Menu Items->New Comic Book.
Enter the Title name, then Click OK.
In the next window, enter the Publisher (at a minimum). You can enter additional info, if know. The click SAVE.
This will bring up the next window to enter information on the Item (issue). There are all kinds of information that can be entered. At a minimum, make sure the Number is accurate (if the issue is not numbered, CB still needs a number (usually 1). Then Click Save. -
First, I believe this is already in CB. Look in the "King Reading Library" Item # 10 (see on Atomic Avenue at https://atomicavenue.com/atomic/item/959271/1/King-Reading-Library-10 )
-
And now, I am getting the same error you are getting. Not sure what changed. It was working (well, not getting the error), then it started getting the error.
-
Sorry to hear about your medical problems, but glad you are doing better.
-
Okay, I followed your steps and didn't get an error.
Select an Issue, right-click and select Add to Set... and I get the Sets window. Since I don't have any Sets, I would need to click on the "+ New Set" to create one.
Next I created a Set (Menu Items->Sets) and added an Issue to it and saved.
Did the steps again (select, right-click, Add to Set) and while I still did not get an error, this didn't work as I would have expected.
What happened is the Sets window opens again, sowing the one Set I have. I can go through the process of clicking Select and finding/selecting other Item #( s ) to the set but it does NOT try to add the original Selected Issue to that Set. I would have expected the Selected Item # to be added to an existing Set or (more likely) to just select an existing Set to add it to.
So instead of Add to Set actually the Selected Item # to a Set (or letting you choose which Set to add to), it just bring up the Set window and you have to go find the Title/Item # to add.
Hope this helps some.

Can you list the steps of what you were doing when you get the error?
Also, what version of CB are you using (mine is v20.0.3.3805. If you don't have the newest version, you might try downloading/installing it.

Thanks for the correction. Was the L Variant the WalMart variant and it got deleted iincorrectly? is one of the current variants the Walmart one? (I will edit my original post to make a correction.)

The photos are not in the actual database. They are stored in a separate windows folder. The default location is C:\Users\Public\Documents\Human Computing\Pictures.

You are doing nothing wrong. Each edition of ComicBase comes with a different amount of covers.
Each addition has approximately: Archive Edition - 650,000, Professional - 50,000, Express - 5,000,
The Free Edition doesn't list the number of covers but I would think it would be 5,000 or (most likely) less than that.
You can scan and add your own covers (at least I think you should be able to in the Free version but I have never used it).

Someone who knows the mobile app better than me can correct this if I am wrong, but I believe the Mobile App only displays static report( s ) that you have uploaded to the CB Cloud storage. It is not a working copy of CB.
-
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.

HC made a decision a long time ago to remove parts of a publisher's name and is not likely to change. As you found out Publishing is one of the parts. Also, Hermes Press is just Hermes. There are others. This is part of CB and any modification to the names will be changed back anytime you do an update.
