Software and app updates related to 'export'

Add Screen: Select Collection Status with the extra dropdown button

We’ve added an extra Collection Status dropdown button to the left hand panel in the Add Screen:

Fixed:

• Options: “Use Field Default” option for Collection Status didn’t work
• Export to HTML was broken

Small bug fix build today for your Book Collector on macOS:

Fixed:

• Syncing the Read It field wasn’t always working correctly.
• Export to XML: Some issues with export of characters
• Editing the personal rating in the template and edit screens missed the star images
• Better handling of the filename in the export screens

Fixed:

• Export XML: XML was not exported correctly.
• Edit Screen: Cover Popups were not always prompted on macOS Sierra.

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.
• Sync with Cloud: Original field was cleared when syncing down from the cloud
• Add/Modify Filter: “Contains” filters were always case insensitive even when “case sensitive” was checked
• Edit Multiple Games: F8 didn’t clear price values

• 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!

Fixed:

• Sync with CLZ Cloud:
  • Sometimes Multi-Disc Albums were not synced correctly.
  • Down-syncing a new album was often crashing the app.
• 2 Panels Mode: Folders were always sorted by article.
• Import from XML: Sometimes compositions were duplicated.
• Preferences: “Ignore Sort Names of Person items” was not working in the folder panel.
• Export to Text/CSV: A flat list of tracks is now exported when Tracks View is active.

Fixed:

• Templates: Template: Barcode icon was missing
• Main Screen: Edit in List
  • un(checking) checkbox lists didn’t trigger a “sync change”
  • changing “Seen It” and “Changing Date” didn’t trigger a “sync change”
• Cards View: the new cover was not displayed using Find Cover
• Add Auto: sometimes not selected queue items were also added using “Add Selected” in queue mode
• Export to Text: Running Time was not displaying in correct format

New in all five Connect editions: Export your list to a text file, e.g. to CSV format, for importing into spreadsheet programs like Excel, Numbers, etc…

You can either:

• Export your entire database, by choosing Export from the Tools menu.
