Wanted List Report not working

[Todd S. Roberts]

When I click on the report from the drop down, nothing happens. Please advise on how to fix this problem. I have comics that are tagged as "Wanted".

 

Thank you!

[Mark J. Rogers]

I have the same problem. It was working before the last update.

[Mark J. Castaneda]

Another user contacted us about this and didn't notice they had 'current series' selected for 'Series to Print' option on the Print window rather than 'Series I own.' What do you guys have selected?

[Steven L. Dasinger]

I am having a similar problem.

If I use menu item Report->Wanted List, nothing happens.

If I Right-Click and select Report Selected Title As->Wanted List, I get the report window and it works successfully.

It appears (for me) that the Menu item Report->Wanted List is not working.

PS If I use menu item Report->(select any report EXCEPT Wanted List) the report window appears and if the Drop-Down box is used to select the Wanted Lists report, it will work successufully.

It's not opening the print dialog at all, however I have tried the workaround detailed in the post by Steven L Dasinger above and that works.

From the menu, the print dialog is not opening. The workaround does work.

Thank you.

I downloaded the new version and while this seem to have fixed the problem with the Wanted list which is now generating from the Report menu, none of the reports (including Collection Reports) are uploading to the cloud when I select 'Save to Web'.

I have tried multiple times over the past week and nothing is being uploaded, even though it is seeming to work as normal.

[Mark J. Castaneda]

visit your Profile page here (https://www.comicbase.com/mycb/Profile.aspx), glance at the Known Databases section and make sure you don't have too DBs listed (remove any extra if needed). If you have multiple (especially with the the same name) that can confuse our report processor

I am having the same problem with trying to use the "Wanted List", either via the top menu or the "right-click" menu.  I selected "Series I own" and "exclude owned items" and get "no items were in your collection inventory..."  Didn't matter if I selected the "exclude owned items" or not.

I can get a list from "Collection Overview" by selecting "Missing Items"

I have a different problem with the Collection Overview in that when I preview a report, the summary at the last line shows ~12K items, even though I have ~19K in the database (which shows up OK in the Collection Report.)

I'm using ComicBase 2025 Express Plus, v.25.6.0.2725

There's a new build for CB2025 (v25.6.3.4071) available that could solve you're problem; Download/install the revised CB2025 setup file here: https://www.comicbase.com/mycb/Registrations.aspx

The answer is no to both the Wanted list working, and the collection summary showing all my collection - still missing ~7K items in the total.

I did see the overview is missing some larger titles, ones that go back to the golden age.  For instance, I own Adventure Comics 300-503.  That run doesn't show up in my owned comics, and as such issues 32-299 don't show up in the missing list (as I don't "own" the series.)  I confirmed that those issues were entered.  They do show up in the Collection Report.

Likewise other random series:  Justice League 1st series (1-6) doesn't show up but the continuations in International and America do.  But the 2nd Justice League International isn't there   Kamandi Challenge Special, yes.  Kamandi Challege 1-12, no.  (I'm quickly scanning manually to see if I see a pattern.  I don't see one.)

On the version of the software, I had clicked "Internet/Check for Updates" when I had version v.25.6.0.2725 and it said I was up-to-date, but seem to have missed many updates to get to v25.6.3.4071, which was a download and reinstall.  Am I doing that right?

I have tired menu item File->Files Tolls and the Rebuild List option? The first 2 check boxes, especially but the first 4 won't hurt.

This may or may not help but it can't hurt.

Bingo.  Rebuild list fixed the content issue under Collection Overview.  Likely didn't include the last ~7000 entries I made last week.  (Although it appeared more random than that.)  This Missing Items list appears to be more complete.  I can now pull this list into Excel and search for those issues I thought I had, but are probably scattered among 65 long boxes (not your problem, however! ?)

However, the Wanted List item on the Reports pulldown menu is still not working.  I think I've tried all combinations on the menu (all items, series I own, etc.)

 

[Mark J. Castaneda]

James... let me message our programming team and see if they can chime in on solution for what's going.

[Mark J. Castaneda]

Also, we just released a new build, download/install the revised CB2025 setup file (build 4076) and see if you get the same trouble. https://www.comicbase.com/mycb/Registrations.aspx

[James H. Dunlop]

Gone for a couple of weeks, came back, updated to build 4438, still no Wanted List.

[James H. Dunlop]

(Took too long to edit)

The Collection Overview "missing" does work, but now it's full of ###/NS issues.  I don't want to see Newsstand issues, it just fills the list with nonsense (to me.)  Don't see a way to avoid that, and other alternative issues.  (I've clicked on the "show only owned + regular issues)

 

[Steven L. Dasinger]

 To not see NS issues try using the View drop-down (top left of window) and uncheck Items to Show->Include Newsstand Editions.

That will not display them in the main display. I would think that would eliminate them from the reports but I have not tested.

"Include Newsstand" was unchecked.  I checked it, then unchecked, and still same results with "NS" issues showing.  Also alternatives.

At bottom right of screen, "Display by Title" "Hide Newsstand" "Show Owned and Regular Items"

I do not get Newsstand nor Alternatives showing in the main body.  In the Collection Overview report, I get both.  I do not believe I had this happen back in April.

Here's my "Action Comics" report of missing issues...

I get the early '80s Whitman alternatives (issues 481-508) and then all the newsstand issues after that.  Plus all the newer alternatives.  (I understand that there's no "regular issue" these days, but my collecting stopped in 2020 so for the most part it's not a concern.)

Today's update to build 4476 has fixed the Collection Overview Missing Items list, sort of.   Shows main issues, but not annuals (or specials, or giant-size or 80 page giants), which I believe it showed before.  So, it shows all regular issues, but anything other than a integer number it ignores.  Annuals, to my knowledge, have never been "alternatives" in the past.

Wanted List still doesn't work, and the "main window" list still has alternatives in it.  Again using Action as a test title, "All Items" shows "printings" or number-number, while the "Owned and Regular Issues" show those with /letter.  "Regular Issues" didn't show the lettered items in the past, other than Anl, SE, HO and the such, that would be in the indicia.

Owned and Regular Issues

All Items

[Peter R. Bickford]

We've extended what "List only owned or regular items" does in this regard--if checked, it'll screen out any unowned newsstand issues on all relevant reports. Get the very latest build to see it in action.

Not sure what you mean by this.  Are you now including variations/alternatives (using Action as an example) such as 1/A, 1/B, as "regular" issues?  That wasn't the case before, and I would certainly prefer those NOT to be included as regular issues.

My "Newsstand Edition" issue appears to have been resolved.  No longer seeing those unless I select "include Newsstand Edition" either in the "View" pull-down menu, or the lower right one.  (That's for both the main window, and the missing list from the "Collection Overview" report.)
