ComicRack v0.9.10 released

Here we go:

• NEW: Added Month to meta data
• NEW: Added "Full Screen" Button to the toolbar
• NEW: Browser can now be docked left/right/bottom
• NEW: Option to close browser when opening a new eComic
  

• CHANGE: Switched over to unrar.dll 3.60.100.215 - maybe this fixed some cbr issues
• CHANGE: Removed non working Library Folder from Preferences Dialog
  

• BUG: Fixed background scan crash with non existing paths
• BUG: Fixed writing of meta comic information to files

Because of the writing meta info bug, the last versions of ComicRack did not write any changes to the meta data to the file. If you want to update the files with the latest information, select all your books, do a Get Info... and change a property you are not using anywhere (say Editor). Hit Ok. This will update all the data in the selected files. Do again a Get Info and change the Editor property back. Of course you only have to do this, if you WANT to write your meta info into the eComic files.

In the next days I will start adding a FAQ section to the forum.

Planned release for the weekend

There will be a new release on the weekend.

At least it should have fixes for the scan network shares issue and also the issue for not importing exising meta information from eComics.

If there's some time, I'll also add the long planned Rename/Move/Convert feature.
I'm also looking currently into python to add scriptability to ComicRack.

And the Forum is still open for your suggestions and praise :)

Digg it!

As some good soul has put ComicRack on Digg, maybe some folks can head over and press the digg button :)

Flash Demo for ComicRack

I found a small flash demo for ComicRack displaying some of the features.
Thanks to whoever made it :)
You know, when investing your spare time in creating something for the community it is always nice to see that someone appreciates it.

Back with new v0.9.9

So here I am again.
Well you could summarize the last two weeks with two words: wet and cold :)
But here's a new build with some fixes for a few bugs I found in those last two weeks.

• BUG: Fixed Socket error on computers not connected to a network
• BUG: Fixed Enter/Escape for OK/Cancel in Preferences Dialog
• BUG: Fixed All/Any selection in Smart List Editor
