With the v 1.1.2 release of CBI the following items were updated


With the v 1.1 release of CBI several new features were introduced.

Behind the scenes I am accessing a lot of data that originally came from the Grand Comics Database at http://www.comics.org.  Their data let me build some pretty amazing functionality.  Unfortunately their data is a tad inconsistent, I will try to write a clean up process but as it is - it is still way better than typing it in yourself.
  • The "Add Single Issue" screen now has a a Get Details button - it will attempt to retrieve all of the detail information and populate it for your.
  • I added a new page to add a series of issues, if you have a run of 2 or more comics you can add them all with a tap of a button.  This feature works really great but works best with a speedy network connection.
  • You can export your collection to a spreadsheet now!  Somebody raised a concern about having all the data trapped on their phone - I think you'll find this is a great way to get access it.
There are a few issues you may want to be aware of as you work with CBI - there is currently a bug that I'm working through having to do with apostrophe's, if you are looking for a title that has an apostrophe in it you will get an error that says it couldn't be found.  I will fix this as soon as I can.

This release was a little rushed because I wanted to get it out as fast as I could the add series feature is faster and better than UPC scanning which didn't work like I wanted it to anyway.

The issue search is very dependent on the name and issue of the title, one letter off and you won't find anything, that is why I added the title pre-load functionality.
