Catalin wrote: Path to images location: I have CS installed on USB stick only so I can always have the collection with me. But the drive letter changes with every PC so all the 800 images cannot be displayed at all. Can you resolve this?

Implemented solution: For images placed on the removable devices (for example in the "Image Edit" dialog filename is: H:\images\scan1.jpg) we have a special check: when drive letter is changed we automatically check the folder of the device where current Collection Studio Document is placed. So, for example, if current document is placed on the drive "K:\", during loading of the image, we will try next paths of the image in the following order:

  • H:\images\scan1.jpg - trying original path;
  • K:\images\scan1.jpg - trying document path;
  • A, B, C, D ... - trying all possible paths (excluding first two);
TitleTitle of the image
TypeType of the collectible screenshot or photo. Default values: face, back, back and face. By default it shows also all possible types of the image which are used in current document.
SpecimenSpecimen flag.

This term belongs generally to banknotes but can be used for other collectibles. A specimen banknote is printed to as a way of checking to see whether or not the design is suitable for putting into full production as a currency issue. Sometimes, specimen banknotes are printed for distribution to central banks to aid in the recognition of banknotes from a country other than their own.
