v16.4.2: Added Unrecognized ISBN feature to Link/Update Book screen
New
- Link/Update Books now also supports the “Unrecognized ISBN” screen
- Quick search now also supports Regular Expressions. Enter “matches:” followed by regular expression in the quick search box.
- In Add Books Automatically, when an ISBN is not recognized, a new “Unrecognized ISBN” screen will appear.
- In this screen, just type the Author and the Title, then click Add Book.
- This will:
- Instantly add the ISBN/Author/Title entry to our Core online book database.
- Add the book to your own database with ISBN, Author and Title filled in AND linked to the new Core entry.
In other words, this new screen not only helps you in adding unrecognized books,
but it also helps your fellow Book Collector users by adding the missing ISBN to the CLZ Core.
( BTW: this screen replaces the “Report Missing ISBN to Core” web-form. Of course, you can still provide more info for the added ISBN using the Submit to Core button in the Edit Book screen. )

v16.3.1: New: Light, Dark and System skins and Quick Filter panel
NEW: Choose between Light, Dark or System skins
Yes, We’re getting rid of the gray!
Book Collector now comes with a skin system, which affects the look of all screens in the program,
main screen, edit screens, add auto-screen, sync screen etc.. even the settings screens.
We have designed two different skins for you to choose from: Light and Dark.
The third option “System” is basically the old pre-v16.3 look.
New view for the main screen: Card View
Next to List View, Images View and Cover Flow, we have added a Card View, a multi-column view with little info cards for each book, showing the main book details and a small cover thumbnail.
Fixed:
- Add Automatically: right click menu didn’t popup when there were no results showing
- Content View: Folder grouping on a field with inheritance didn’t take the inherited book values into account
