What's new in CLZ Games for Android? (page 4)

Fixed:

• Separate ‘Hardware’ sections were missing in the main list.

Fixed:

• Sorting by title was off when games had a sort name beginning with a capital letter.
• ‘Store’-count not increasing when a store was selected in the edit/manage pick list screen.

We’ve added new fields to sort on to change the order in which your games are displayed in your list. Your game list will adapt to sort and show the field you’re sorting on. On top of that we’ve redesigned the Select Sort Order screen to make it more clear what you’re choosing.

Open the Select Sort Order screen by tapping the menu top right, then tap “Sort order”.

All available sort fields:

• Platform, then Title (New!)
• Platform, then Release Date (New!)
• Title
• Release Date
• Order of Entry (New!)
• Purchase Date (New!)
• Purchase Price (New!)
• Price Charting Value (New!)
• Current Value (New!)
• Completion Date (New!)
• My Rating (New!)
• Quantity (New!)
• Index
• Storage Device (New!)

All fields can be sorted either ascending or descending. Tap the field you wish to sort on, then tap “Apply” to confirm.

Fixed:

• The app did not open the details page when a search result was selected in the quick search box while the [All Games] folder was active in phone mode.

Fixed:

• App shortcut wasn’t working in the launcher

You may need to re-add your app shortcut to your launcher screen by tapping/holding the app in your list of apps!

Quick Search: Search-As-You-Type suggestions

Instantly find and select a particular game in your local database:

• In the Quick Search box, just start typing the first few letters of the title you are looking for.
• While typing, a drop-down list will appear, showing the first five matching games (for most games, it only takes 2 or 3 letters before it shows up).
• Once you see the game you were looking for, tap it to bring up its detail page
• TIP: Tap the search button on the keyboard or tap “View All Results” to perform the normal search.

Fixed:

• We fixed a crash that could happen while syncing with CLZ Cloud.

A new v4.8 update for your app is available now, with:

Automatic CLZ Cloud syncing
Add or edit games and your changes will auto-upload to the CLZ Cloud instantly.
Made changes on the desktop or Connect side? Just start the app and changes will download automatically.

Note: Auto-Syncing is switched OFF by default. Switch it ON in the “Sync with CLZ Cloud” screen.

Don’t have a CLZ Cloud account yet?
If you don’t have a CLZ Cloud account yet, We strongly recommend to signup up for one from the app. Using the CLZ Cloud is completely free!

The CLZ Cloud syncing will let you:

1. Sync your data between devices, e.g. between your phone and your tablet. Or from your old phone to your new phone.
2. View your database online using the free CLZ Cloud viewer website.
3. Make an online backup of your data. Better safe than sorry!

In today’s update for the CLZ Games app, we have made further tweaks to the Add screen, to make it clearer than previous versions:

• Add from CLZ Core:
  • Color high-lighting: Games already ‘on wish list’ now have an orange title, games already “in collection” show up with a blue title.
  • Slightly smaller font for the game title, so that longer titles fit better.

Fixed:

• The phone version sometimes repeatedly scrolling to the last added game
• The “Update game values” screen crashed sometimes.

This new version lets you download current value information for your games from the popular game pricing site PriceCharting.com:

• When adding new games, they automatically come with game value info.
• Values are determined based on the Completeness field (Loose vs CIB vs New).
• See totals for your collection using the new Database Totals screen.
• Download up-to-date value information for your entire collection using the Update button in the Database Totals screen.

Fixed:

• On tablet devices: After adding a game to the collection it wasn’t selected
• Templates: Improved layout and colors.

New:

• Group on the “Completeness” field by tapping the menu top right, then tap “Folders > Completeness”.

Fixed:

• Fixed a “non SQL exception” error that could occur during adding of certain games.

For CLZ Games on Android we have added several game-specific fields and made more fields available to edit in the edit game screen: This update is especially targeted at the serious video game collector:

New “Completeness” field: Loose vs CIB vs New

This is for the real video game collectors, especially those that are into collecting retro games:

• Added: a new “Completeness” field, to indicate how complete your copy of a game is. Choose from:
  • Loose, meaning “cartridge or disc only”.
  • CIB, meaning “Complete In Box”, everything included.
  • New, meaning CIB and also still sealed.
• Two extra toggle fields “Manual” and “Box”.
  
  To further specify the “Loose” status. You know, for those cartridges with just a manual, no box. Or in a box, but with the manual missing.
• Group on the “Completeness” field by tapping the menu top right, then tap “Folders > Completeness”.

This update introduces an easier way to deal with “Unrecognized Barcodes”.
A new screen that not only helps you to add the game to your app anyway, but also helps your fellow CLZ Games users by instantly adding the missing barcode to the CLZ Core online game database.

Easily add games that come up as “Unrecognized Barcode”:

• In the Add Games screen when a barcode is not recognized, a new “Unrecognized Barcode” screen will appear.
• In this screen:
  1. Just find your game by title (Search-As-You-Type is also active here!)
