5/31/2023 0 Comments Comicbase mycomics![]() It is so good that it almost (that's a big almost folks) makes the software worth the price tag. ![]() The data itself (not the application which presents it) is very useful and detailed. Before closing I'd like to offer some positive remarks on the software. Hopefully the next technically savvy person researching CB11 will google this post and think twice before spending way more than this software is worth. I'm putting this in my blog for the search engines. Perhaps I'm being a bit critical as I have been writing database driven applications for over a decade myself. You would think that at version 11 a piece of software would be a relatively refined piece of work. I'm not joking and I was told by the author that this is "by design." I couldn't respond to him, I was left speechless. So in summary you get to browse through your collection plus one title at the beginning/end that have nothing to do with your collection. The first/last titles in the database ("0/6, o6Po (Netcomics, 2005)" and "ZZZ, ZZM (Alan Bunce, 2000)") are displayed as a place holder so the software knows when to stop. When you reach the beginning or end of your collection you would think that it would stop on the first or last title of you collection or loop around to the beginning or end. There are browsing arrows at the top of the screen which bring you from one title in your collection to the next. Over the past week I've found several bugs in the software that are written off by the author as 'by design.' Here is a perfect example that left me speechless. Its database includes pricing and notes on over 800,000 individual comic. As of February 2015, it is on its nineteenth version (dubbed ComicBase 2017) and is available for computers running Microsoft Windows Windows 7, and later. A Windows version was introduced in 1996. It was created in 1992 by as an Apple Macintosh program. All I have to say is if that is truly the case then comic book collection software is in a sad state. ComicBase is the 1 software for managing comic collections, combining an easy-to-use interface with the worlds largest and most complete database of comics and pricing. ComicBase is a computer program for tracking comic book collections. I'd always heard it was the ultimate comic book collection software. I recently purchased Comicbase 11 Professional.
