Is there a way too install all your picture files at onc after a new install onto a new laptop

Edited June 28, 2022 by mark d. smith

You can either download the Picture file ( s ) from the CB website.

or

If you have the pictures on another computer that is connected to a network, you can use Window to copy them to the new computer.

How do I download them from the website 

[Steven L. Dasinger]

On the ComicBase website, select My Account, then Registrations.

Click the green download arrow next to your active subscription.

If you want the Quick Star Version (thumbnail sized to start), it should be listed.

However, if you want the full size pictures (which I would suggest), click the Other radio button.

You should see several links to down load the picture files.

Once all are downloaded, use CB to Install the.

This is all I see 

[Steven L. Dasinger]

At that point click the green arrow under Download at the top of the list. (the one with the Subscription Expires date of 5/24/2023).

That will take you to the next page to either download the Quick start version or click the Other radio button to get the full size covers.

Is that for the express version though?

[Steven L. Dasinger]

Sorry. I didn't realize you had the Express version.

I think only the Pro and Archive editions have picture disks.

[mark d. smith]

No problem buts thanks for helping,I'll add them so singular

Do you still have them on another computer?

If you can share a drive over a network, do have a thumb-drive you could copy them to to transfer to the new laptop?

I've got a new laptop I had the covers on my external hard drive which shows up on the new laptop but I've got to drag and drop the cover pictures again 

[Steven L. Dasinger]

No, you don't have to do it the 'long way'.

Just copy the entire Picture folder from the external drive to the new drive location on the laptop.

After that, use File tools->Manage Pictures and Movies to make sure the file path to the folder that CONTAINS the picture folder (not the actual Picture folder) is correct.

On the express version there is no file/download pictures and movies option 

[Steven L. Dasinger]

 

Okay. What happens when you right-click on the large cover image in the top left corner of the CB window?

Do you have an option to 'Show Picture File'?

If you do, you can use that to find the file path for the covers.

If not, I think the default path is C:\Users\Public\Documents\Human Computing.

It that folder exists on you laptop, you can copy the Picture file folder from your external hard drive to this folder.
