Fred Slota Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 So, while I'm working through "unknown" title and issue, um, issues, I noticed this... I thought I had seen this earlier, but didn't think enough of it to investigate or report. Pressing the "Next Title" button moves me through titles one at a time, regardless of if they are "official" titles or "unknown" titles. However, pressing the "Previous Title" button appears to go backwards only for "official" titles; it skips over "unknown" titles. I happen to have an entry for "Annihilation: Scourge Alpha", a rogue entry with a semicolon where all the other books in this mini use a dash. The title shows when I "Next Title" through titles, but is skipped when I "Previous Title" through titles. I currently have "Show All Items" selected, and because I haven't reconciled this unknown issue yet, I have an owned copy of the unknown issue in this unknown title.

Gregory Hecht Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 A long-time issue with ComicBase is that it doesn't handle things like navigation very well when there are two titles that are identical except for punctuation. HC solves this by making sure that the titles in the master database avoid this problem, but it can pop up from time to time in user databases if they don't regularly run content updates and/or pay attention to their "Unrecognized" list after running a content update. The solution to your particular problem is to get your issues that are under the "rogue" title listed under the correct title as it is listed under the master database. Once there is no inventory that is "in stock" under your "rogue" titles, those titles should go away during your next content update (assuming you have the appropriate settings checked off prior to doing the update).

Fred Slota Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 Yes, and I'm working on that. I would be more understanding if the skipping behavior were consistent; it's the fact that the two buttons behave differently that had me bringing this up.

Gregory Hecht Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Like I said, it is a longstanding known issue that CB doesn't handle things well when two titles differ only by punctuation. So CB's solution for it is to just avoid it. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
