News & updates released in 2016 (page 5)
Fixed:
- Export to XML is now capable of exporting large databases without “Out of Memory” errors, as it now writes the XML directly to hard disk. This is a bit slower though.
- Edit Comic:
- Creators and Character grid column widths not restored properly sometimes
- Contents tab: when trying to move a story up or down it would throw an “Abstract Error”
- Sync with Cloud: Wrap Around and TPB fields were cleared when syncing down from the cloud
- Add/Modify Filter: “Contains” filters were always case insensitive even when “case sensitive” was checked
- Edit Multiple Comics:
- cancelling without making changes would still ask for confirmation
- F8 didn’t clear price values

“Export to Text”, a feature previously only available to Connect subscribers, has now also been added to the CLZ Cloud viewer.
We figured that exporting to a text file, e.g. a CSV for Excel, should be available to any user, whether they own Connect, the desktop software or a CLZ mobile app.
You can find the Export to Text feature by visiting your own collection in the CLZ Cloud viewer, clicking the little “wrench” icon top right, then selecting Export.
Enjoy!

New: “Search-As-You-Type” suggestions when adding movies by title
If you are adding most of your movies “By Title”, then this will be a huge time-saver.
Here’s how the new “Search-As-You-Type” feature works:
- In the Add Movies Automatically screen, just start typing the first letters of the title you want to add.
- While typing, a drop-down list will appear, showing the five most popular titles that match,
including the release year and a small thumbnail image. - For recent / popular movies, it usually takes only 2 or 3 letter before it shows up.
For older or less popular movies, type a few more letters. - Once you see your movie appear, use the arrow keys to select it, then hit Enter.
- Then under Search Results, that exact movie will be listed, automatically Previewed on the right.
- Click the Add Selected button to add it to your database.
- New: App now remembers the last opened tab in the add automatically screen
- Small details template adjustments
- Fixed local search not working on tablet devices
- Fixed auto selection in main list not working on tablet devices
- Fixed several crashes on smaller tablet devices

Fixed:
- Program could throw an “Handle is invalid” error after multiple edits
We have completely rewritten our Core for Comics search engine, that is, the online code that gives you results when you search our Core by Title in your Add screen.
The new search engines will provide better search results that are more “to-the-point” and less “fuzzy”. Also, results will be returned much faster.
