Just updated the program on the website. Check it out.

New

Printing -  You can now print out teams, want lists, and search results. Tell me how it looks and any problems with it.

Preferences - Passive settings are now maintained (like bringing up the last view). You can change how Sets are ordered (i.e. Release date, Marvel first, etc). You can set the default for how clicks are searched, and you can add your name which will show up on team print outs.

Misc - Can now tell if your team is theme or not. Team and collection view have gotten a user interface update, but nothing too drastic.

Fixes

Far too many to go into detail. Anyone who told me of a problem and any that showed up during the demo at the Super Store's marquee is fixed, but here's a short list:

Add to team button working correctly.

Mouse over on character dial display now showing correct power.

Various searches that weren't working should work.

Lots of UI issues.

That's it. It should be very stable and could use some serious testing. I don't have plans to add more features unless someone comes up with something really good. So, I will just be bug fixing and cleaning up some ui (e.g. the Preferences dialog).

-Jason

New file uploaded. This time as a zip file which should be easier for most people to extract.

If you are having trouble running the program here are 2 things to check.

Java version: go to your control panel and bring up the Java control panel, you should be using version 6 update 16 or greater. If you don't have java installed or the latest version go to www.java.com.

File structure: make sure that you extracted the files into the file structure that existed in the zip. This is usually the default behavior, but if no directories were created when you extracted the files the program will not work.

Fixes

Performance has greatly improved on start up time. It should no longer take several minutes to start up even on a slow computer (i.e. my mini-laptop starts up in about 15 seconds).

Minor fixes on a few search items.

-Jason

Newest version has been uploaded. Lots of fixes. Needs lots of testing.

The biggest change in this version was a neccessary update to the team file format. Unfortunately, this means old teams will not load. If you want to keep your old teams, I suggest printing them out before getting the new version and re-entering them once you have updated to the new version.

Fixes

Various search fixes (e.g. null searches, "no keyword" searches)

All popups should close correctly.

Any changes to your collection should be automatically saved, and all tables should reflect the changes.

The sets have been gone through to ensure accuracy, the biggest update being rarities.

Added missing bystanders, War Machine, some colossals

UI reworked - Preferences dialog and Team View

Added a "show unrestricted" button to the feat/bfc/object dialog

About box updated

To-do

Update/add remaining colossals

Possibly add ability to e-mail team/want list/search results

Bug fixes

New version up. I went ahead and created a manual for the program. It's fairly basic, but if you have any comments let me know.

Fixed

Apokalips/Apokolips "fixed". Not my error, but bound to be errata'd

Lantern objects added along with cost

Alter ego rank added

All colossals should be accurate

Team ability tool tips added

"Not" searches fixed, many were performing incorrectly

Mini team ability icons updated

Some minor ui changes

Well, I've updated the program with the latest Starter. Blackest Night and Marvel Classics added, as well as changing the wording on powers and TAs where needed to reflect the new rules.

Upgrades:

Keyboard navigation and shortcut keys added. The entire program should be keyboard navigable now and keyboard shortcuts have been added. Will list them in the manual some point soon, but many are fairly obvious (e.g. sets button is Alt+s, adding an object Alt+o, etc)

Generic/Non-generic keywords separated to make it easier to search both (e.g. you could more easily search for all non-generic keyword characters).

Click lines added were appropriate (i.e. AE characters, Shazam! and Black Adam)

Fixes/Updates:

UI Upgrade in team view and collection/search results view. (Easy to see what is retired and unowned)

Keyword audit made, I would say I'm more accurate than HCrealms in this regard now.

Bystanders added where missing

Some more popup problems fixed (edge repainting)

Strange problem when searching SPs for TAs fixed.

"Not" button now looks appropriate when selected.

"Not" searches fixed AGAIN (name, targets, rank, and TA).

Phantom power tool tips fixed.

Known Issues/To Do List:

No Crisis Guardian

Shrinking sets list in the Sets popup in the search view, can't get a reproducible case (let me know if you have one).

Installer, or atleast a self-extracting archive.

E-Mail (i.e. "here's my"...team/want list/search I did)? Is this something you want? It would add about a megabyte to the program to support it, but otherwise not difficult to do.

iPhone? Sorry, but found out that the Mac I have access to will not support the dev environment needed to develop on. The OS is too old, actually only the most recent OS is supported. On hold, until we get an upgrade.

Android? Yes, took a look and this is something that will probably be far easier to do. Although, the dev environment is also a bit tricky.

-Jason

Since the ATAs have been updated in the players guide I went ahead and added that to the program. Otherwise, just a few minor fixes.

I LOVE this little programm. It's terrific. I'm still exploring it ... but I most say that you have done a great job, Jason.

The only thing that is missing (for me) is the picture of each figurines. That would help noobies like me

Glad you like it. As for pictures, I don't currently plan on adding them, but it might be something I look at after I finish the android version .

Any change to the collection should automatically save. If this isn't happening let me know.

Jason

When i change the Numbers of Modells with the Collection Manager all is fine.

But when i leave the Programm and after restart all changes are lost.

I tried to save Teams or searches to see if that helps but still the same after reloading the Changes in the Collection Manager are lost. Maybe its just my fault but guess u will find that out soon if its not working correct

Many thx for your help

There aren't too many reasons why it wouldn't save. So check a few things for me.

Do you have the most recent version? In the program, go to the menu and click Help - About, the dialog that comes up should say the version is 0.9.6. If it isn't, download the latest version from this website under "Team Builder Tools".

The program may be in a place that will not allow you to save. If the program is on a network drive or a virtual drive (e.g. "My Documents"), it's possible that the program can not save there. Put the program on a local hard drive (e.g. "C:\Click Master\").

If neither of those two solutions work send me an e-mail, I sent you a message.
