Today, two fixes for the new Add Comics screen and small fix for the details panel on iPad:

• Slow opening of issue list for a series
  Opening a series to go to its issue list could cause the app to “freeze” for a while, depending on the number of issues in the series AND the number of comics in your database.

  Please note that this was not related to the loading of the large images. Instead, it was just a stupid bug that was introduced during the rewrite of this screen, related to the “in collection highlighting”.

  You will find that all series now open instantly, even with the large images 🙂

• Pull List showed all issues of a series
  When opening a series on the pull list, it incorrectly showed all issues for the series, where as it should of course show recent and future issues only.

• Comic details on iPad: visibility of backdrop
  A small fix/tweak for the comic details panel on iPad, to make the backdrop more visible

For this update, the main goal was to make the cover images in the Add Comics screen bigger, to make it easier to find the issue or variant that you own.

However, while working on that, we ran into many other things that could be improved, so we figured why not? So in the end, it turned out be a serious overhaul of the Add Comics screen 🙂

Here’s an overview of all the improvements:

• Bigger cover images in the Issue List
• The Issue List for a series now opens in a separate page
• Preview Page now also shows a bigger cover image
• New look or series search results and series search “suggestions box”
• Close the Add Comics screen with “X” top left, no more “double back button” confusion

Fixed:

• Various “Access Violation” errors fixed in the Link Comics screen
• Edit Screen: File paths for missing cover images weren’t showing
• Main Screen: filtering on Collection Status “Sold” didn’t show correct filter text in the bottom of the screen

Fixed:

• Crash when adding a comic while the Purchase Price field was active in the Pre-Fill screen

Fixed:

• Templates: Tapping the cover to zoom in on it often caused the cover to flip to the back cover
• Adding an item to a different collection status caused Pre-fill fields to clear in the existing entry
• Sorting: When sorting by cover price, comics without a cover price would show “Cover: null” in the list

We are working several improvements for the Add Comics screen of the CLZ Comics mobile app.

The main change will be in the issue list, which will now show as a 3-column grid, with BIG cover images. But still with all the info you had before: Issue Nr, Variant, Variant Description, Release Date and a Key icon.

The main goal here is to make it easier to find your cover, your variant, without having to tap each cover to see the full size version.

Initially, when we created the mobile apps, we deliberately decided to leave out the back cover images, for performance, storage and bandwidth reasons. But with today’s fast internet speeds and fast devices with large storage.. it is time to change our minds!
