Software and app updates related to 'pull list'

Based on lots of feedback from members of the CLZ Comics group on Facebook, we decided to completely re-design and rewrite the Pull List feature. With this update, the Pull List tab in the Add Comics screen has been expanded into a fully flexible way to browse recent and upcoming comic releases.

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

Depending on the speed of your device and the size of your database, this may take anywhere between 15 seconds and several minutes.
