I'm putting the finishing touches to Build 0302. This will shortly be
available on the Downloads page of the web site when my testing
completes...

If you have some spare time, please back-up your database and (when
available) give this new Build a test in a "ps test" folder. I'd really
appreciate your feedback here or via email....

New features and fixes include:
---------------------------------------------
* Change requested by Peter Clark to provide "subscribed series
indicator" criteria selection. The program will automatically turn this
indicator off when the run completes. This allows you to split out
on-going series (the new stuff you buy now at your comic shop/store) as
"subscribed". Other series can be marked as "collected status" but not
"subscribed".
* New additional series selection criteria including selection by
Publisher or Format
* Updated Report Previewer
* Notebook tabs for "Artwork" will indicate "No Artwork" if none has
been stored
* Updated Runtime Engine with enhancements and fixes including:
- getting the cut/copy/paste buttons working
- fixing number spinboxes (initially incremented a value when down
arrow was clicked!)
- Printer re-selection problem fix
- XP style support has been greatly improved.

A more complete features list (aka the "Revision History") will be made
available on the web site when I upload the Beta as I've probably
forgotten to list something here...

Also, if you are thinking of ordering a PS v3 Licence please do so
during July - because even I need a holiday!

Regards,
Andrew

If you are willing to test it and provide feedback, I'd really
appreciate receiving it before the end of July...

I did some more testing and found a small problem. It seems that the
"Reviews" field on the Series and Issues forms turns invisible as you
move through the collection. A work-around is to simply click in the
Review field and the contents magically appear again!

I have fixed this ready for the next Build.

Regards,
Andrew

I just uploaded v3 build 0303 - it fixes the above problem and adds a
new "No Comics" report. See the Revision History for full details...
