Alternatives showing in Main Window

[James H. Dunlop]

Here's something new, and may be associated with my Wanted List showing newsstand and alternatives.

I have "Show Owned and Regular Issues" selected.  But I'm seeing alternative issues (800/A for instance in Action Comics) in the list, which I did not before when selecting this setting.  It is NOT showing the newsstand issues.  Here's a screenshot showing Action circa 2008, when various alternative covers started in earnest.

Express Plus v25.6.3.4438

would encourage you set the following for inputting comics you don't own

Just installed build 4480 from 4476.  (Peter, does this mean you did two updates in the last 24 hours?)

Missing List still says no items found.

Main window still shows alternative issues (1-A, 1-B, etc.), but not second-third... printings if numbered (1-2, 1-3, etc.) when "Owned and Regular" is selected.

Collection Overview, selecting missing items (with Owned/Regular selected) is fine except it does not show missing annuals, specials and the like.

Mark, I just entered my entire collection again from scratch, to make sure I had everything there (I physically went through all my boxes to confirm what I owned.)  I would typically have "Owned and Regular" on because for many titles I would do a mass change of quantity.  I would switch to "All" if I had an alternative issue to enter it and then switch back.  I turn off Newsstand Editions because almost all of my comics since 1975 were bought at a comics store.  (Went to one of the first comics stores in Hackensack NJ back then; followed it to the Bergen Mall in Paramus about a year later when they moved to the higher traffic location.) 

I want to use the missing list (either the one in the pull-down list if working, or the Overview one) to see if I forgot to enter anything.  I have complete runs of most DC titles I collected, but not seeing the Annuals (et al) is troubling for my double-checking.   Turning on ALL populates the Overview list too much for my liking, but will use it if I have to.

Thanks for the extra info. I'll run it by Pete

Build 4486 has been released

 

-Should fix the variants being shown if 'Show Owned and Regular Items' is set on the main CB window

*variants will be shown if there is no regular numbered issue

 

-With the Collection Overview (with 'Only show owned + regular set), you will see non-regular issues like Bk, Anl, NS, SE, Dlx, etc. if owned. If not owned, you will not see them as missing item on the report.

Updated to build 4488.

Collection Overview works as described (no annuals et al if "missing items" selected, they show in the "owned" report.)

Missing List still no-good.

The main window has reversed.  With "Owned and Regular" selected, does not show the lettered alternatives, but now shows the numbered ones.
