Todd Norris Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 I have been adding my own cover images of my collection as I archive my collection. I am currently using the 2021 Professional edition. When I come across an issue with lots of variants, how do I successfully name the image so that CB recognizes it and applies it to the line item for that issue. Example, Action Comics 1000, there are a ton of variants and let's say CB lists the issue I want as 1000/A-24, how would you name the file so that database line item recognizes the image and applied itself? I have tried anything I can think of, but maybe some of you gurus out there have a trick up your sleeve that has eluded me.
Steven L. Dasinger Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 Basic rule for naming objects (covers or digital): Replace anything that isn't alpha (a-z), numeric (0-9) or a dash (-) with a dash. (or just replace slashes(/) with a dash for the short version). (since the files are named with the DOS restrictions, any character that can't be used in a Windows file name needs to be converted to a dash.) Example: 1000/A-24 would be 1000-A-24 1
