Macintosh Software |
Important information for the Macintosh downloads:
A demonstration version of ComicBase 7 for Macintosh. Lets you see ComicBase in action, in a fully functional (but time-limited) from. Includes sample data from Spider-Man, Batman, and Amalgam titles--a tiny subset of the 15,000+ titles/200,000+ issues in the full version. Requires QuickTime 4.0.1 or later and Adobe Acrobat Reader to read documentation and notes. If you prefer, this demo (with documentation and movies) is available on CD-ROM, and can be ordered from our Online Ordering section. The $10 charge can be credited toward the purchase of ComicBase.
Changes new issue defaults in ComicBase 7.0, and adds auto-incrementing of issue month when creating new issues.
New revision to make "Sell" compatible with new changes to our web server, and with MacOS X.
Works around an incompatibility problem affecting Macs with 1 GB of RAM. Adds the ability to play movies whose names are numbers (i.e. "300") from their title's page, and changes the name of the "Sin City" movie to "Sin City (Dark Horse)" so that it appears when you go to that title. Also, addresses a compatability issue which could make the progress bar stay onscreen after doing a quick change, as well as a few other bugs and features.
Most importantly, ComicBase 6.0.1 adds the ability to accept content updates over the web. Two new movies are posted as well as content fixes for July: after updating to 6.0.1, check for updates again and they'll appear.
Adds compatibility with MacOS 9.1,fixes the sizing of movie previews, handles pictures copied from the CDs to your hard disk better, and fixes the Remove Mature Readers Titles feature.
Fixes Quick Change for marked issues and price, improves the way Mass Change does price changes, and fixes a glitch that can occur when printing found comics. Find Comics now also lets you search amongst the issues you have in stock-- not just the titles in stock.
Improves ComicBase's handling of issue #1,000,000 books, adds Quick Change for Artist and Writer info, fixes a bug in Export Price List and Find Comics report printing, and improves the appearance of ComicBase under System 8.
Requires the ComicBase 3.0 CD
Fixes a problem which could confuse the old updater, causing it to create many blank records after each title, bloating the updated ComicBase and taking extra hours to complete.
Updates version 2.0.1 of ComicBase. Fixes a problem which prevents Export Price List from working properly. Make sure you've updated your ComicBase to version 2.0.1 before using this updater.
Updates version 1.3 of ComicBase. This updater fixes a memory problem that sometimes resulted in reports stopping after the first page, with an "Error in Header" or other message. After downloading, launch your copy of ComicBase, then choose the Setup menu's "Install ComicBase Update" command to make the fix.
A bug fix version for users of ComicBase versions 1.2 and 1.2.1.

Windows Software |
Adds command key shortcuts for text styles, and automatically reformats pasted title descriptions to match ComicBase style. Fixes a couple of glitches in the initial release, and adds new features suggested by customers at the ComicBase User's Group meeting in San Diego. Notably, issues you own are now highlighted in green, making them much easier to see in the lists. See the Release Notes for the full details. Recommended for all users.
Suggested by ComicBase customer John Simpson, here's the ComicBase Cover Gallery Screen Saver for Windows. It fills your screen with randomly chosen covers from your ComicBase's Pictures folder in a continually updating display. After installing it use your Windows Display control panel to choose it as your screen saver and set the location of your Pictures folder. It works with the Pictures found in ComicBase 5 and later.
Internet Explorer users can install it directly from the web (360K)
Alternately, you can download the installer program (3.8 MB).
A demonstration version of ComicBase 8 for Windows. Lets you see ComicBase in action, in a time-limited demo that is fully functional with the exception of importing and exporting. Includes sample data from Spider-Man, Batman, and Amalgam titles--a tiny subset of the 16.000+ titles/200,000+ issues in the full version. This is a large download--if you prefer, you can order the ComicBase 8 Demo Disk instead. The $10 cost includes a $10 credit for your purchase of ComicBase.
*Only used by ComicBase 7 and earlier. ComicBase 8 users should use the File Menu's Manage Pictures and Movies command instead of the old Picture Installer program.
This utility copies files from the ComicBase CD and Bonus Disks to your hard drive so ComicBase can be run without having the CDs inserted. Replaces v3.0 (from the initial release of ComicBase 7) which would not always copy Image and Dark Horse pictures properly. If you are having trouble viewing Dark Horse or Image pictures from within ComicBase 7, try downloading this version of the installer and using it to reinstall the pictures from your ComicBase 7 Program Disk and/or Bonus Disk 2. ComicBase 7.0.1's new Manage Pictures command will also work for putting any misplaced pictures in the proper location.
Note to Windows XP users: If you have problems with the program seeming to stall while copying, chances are good that it's still working, but that the progress bar is not being updated. This appears to be a conflict between Windows XP and the development environment the Picture installer was written in, and we are seeking a solution. In the meantime, please give the program time to complete, or try running it under Windows 2000 compatibility mode by right-clicking on the Picture Installer icon and choosing "Compatibility" from the Properties menu that appears.
Includes various bug fixes, as well as adding new features such as a "Manage Pictures" command which automagically reorganizes your Pictures folder, resolving file names, adding file extensions, and more. It also includes lots of small improvements to everything from more detailed ad posting, to automatic incrementing of cover dates when you add new issues.
Sadly, this version also disables the "Sell Comics" feature, since eBay has changed their software in such a way that it makes it virtually impossible for third-party programs such as ComicBase to post ads to their site. eBay has, however, released new posting tools of their own (PC only). See www.ebay.com for details.
Recommended for all users. Get the ComicBase 7 Reports Update as well, which lets you select whether cost is included on Basic and Detailed Price List reports
Cleans up Comic Collector export files so that they can be imported more easily into ComicBase. The new version works with all versions of Comic Collector (including Comic Collector 1.0!), and includes revised documentation. See the documentation for the full details on this program.
Better keyboard/cursor handling when doing updates, as well as better tracking of updates when changing records by typing into the Modify Issues screen.
Does a better job of handling Null and invalid date fields when importing and exporting. Also fixes a problem importing/exporting custom fields whose names are very long. Also adds an assortment of bug fixes and new features to ComicBase, including revised reports, new keyboard shortcuts, and various program changes. The updater contains a full list of changes.
Note: Same as ComicBase 4.0.4, exept it now gives a better message when asking if you're upgrading from ComicBase 3, when first using the new program. The updated version will still bear the version number "4.0.4"
Works with ComicBase 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3, or 4.0.4. Adds a "Duplicate" button to Modify Issues, includes several small bug fixes, and cosmetic changes. See the ComicBase 4.0.4 release notes for the full list of changes. Uses a new updating technology from MindVision which allows it to automatically detect the version of ComicBase you have installed and do the appropriate updating.
VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure you download and install the ComicBase 4 System Files Update if you are updating to ComicBase 4.0.4 or later from a previous version. If you have installed ComicBase 4.0.4 or later from the CD, you do not need to run the system files update.
Previously included with the ComicBase 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 updaters. Not necessary if you've already run the reports updater as part of those updates.
Updates the ComicBase Price List report to fix a bug on the price list report which repeated the Year 1 price as Year 4 when generating a detailed price list report.
This is special-purpose update for people who wish to use their ComicBase 3 after ComicBase 4 (or its demo) has been installed. This update is necessary since several system files needed for ComicBase 4 are incompatible with previous versions of ComicBase. The update also fixes movie play with Windows 98.
Adds support for foreign
currency reporting, adds support for DC's #1,000,000 issues, makes navigating
between titles easier, speeds data entry, and fixes bugs in Find Comics and
report printing. Other improvements as well. This release includes fixes to
an obscure import situation, more robust handling of improperly entered issue
numbers, and a fix to the auto-issue update introduced in the last build.
Adds in many new features such as foreign currency conversion; improves issue entry, importing and finding comics; and fixes a few key bugs. Recommended for all users.
