News & updates tagged 'series'

In the CLZ Comics mobile app the Series list has always been a special case folder option, not showing the regular textual folder entries, but instead a nice layout with the cover art of the first or last issue.

So we decided to bring that same look to the Series folder panel in Comic Connect:

Fixed:

• Series Images didn’t show for some TPB/HC series folders

Tweaks:

• “Search by Barcode Scan” in main screen: now immediately shows the details page of the found comic.
• Series Images: now use the Earliest/Latest based on Release Date, instead of Issue Number. Also, it now only uses covers from comics that are “In Collection”.

Fixes for iOS:

• Adding from Core: Cover Price and Nr of Pages did not download anymore
• Only on iPads running the old iOS 14: crash when refreshing Card View
• Update from Core: the “Always show…” switch at the bottom crashed the app
• Update from Core: did not clear selection after updating

Fixes for Android:

• After editing Completed status, the series list did not update.
• When down-syncing your customized Series name from Cloud, it used Core series names in some cases
• Occasional crashes when editing Series entries

In the Add Comics screen, when searching for a comic “By Series Title”, you are sometimes getting so many series results, that it can be hard to find the exact comic you have in your hands. You may find yourself expanding series after series, to find the issue you need.

But not anymore, as today’s update will make this a lot easier: Just use the new “Add Issue” tab in the Add Comics screen to search by Series title AND Issue number in one go.
E.g. search for “iron man 17” and it will instantly show you a simple flat list of all issues 17 of matching Iron Man series.

Note that the list of matches will automatically be a lot shorter, because the results will only include the series that actually have the issue number you are looking. For example, search for “action comics 214” and it will instantly give you the exact comic you are looking for:

New in Comic Connect: a Collection / Wish List summary bar for comic series!

To see the summary bar, make sure your folder panel is set to show Series folders, then select a folder. The summary bar will then appear above the list panel, showing a compact overview of the issues you own and the issues that are on your wish list.

BTW: if you don’t want this panel, you can disable it through the Settings screen.

Now live in your Comic Connect software, a complete re-design of the Add Comic screen, with a new look, easier interface and new features.

Adding Comics by Barcode

• Scan multiple barcodes in one go! Scanned barcodes will be automatically added to a queue, with the comic information populating instantly.

Adding Comics by Series
