A small update to the Music Collector for Mac software today, just to help you make the switch to the Music Connect web-based software.

A small update to the Book Collector for Mac software today, just to help you make the switch to the Book Connect web-based software.
We have received feedback from Book Collector users that they were missing some field in Book Connect / Cloud, so a few days ago we updated Connect to add many of those requested fields.
Check out some screenshot here!
The new fields that were added:
- Editor
- Translator
- Photographer
- Printed by
- Printing
- First Edition (yes/no)
- Paper type
- AND: web-site links on the new Links tab!
Of course, the new fields now being available in Book Connect is of little help to you if you cannot sync your existing data from your Book Collector for Mac software.
So… even though we announced “no more Mac updates”, we decided to do one FINAL v20.3 update of the Book Collector for Mac software, to add support for the syncing of the new fields.
I hope this update will help you make the big switch to Book Connect!

Fixed:
- Issues could end up in another series after syncing.
- Crash when syncing a removed comic without an issue title.
This update fixes an issue with the sync where it would always re-upload the custom front/back covers if such an album had any change at all. This resulted in many unneeded re-uploads of custom front/back covers.
Important: After updating to this version:
- the program will run a process to index your custom covers
- all albums with custom front/back covers will re-upload
Both processes might take a while!
Fixed:
- Custom front/back covers were re-uploaded too often
- After merging albums the disc index number would not update correctly
- Quick Search: using arrow buttons and clicking results wasn’t working correctly
