  1. Hi John F Here is the link to my 4000+ Italy Stamp Images. Its a big download but it runs in he background. "36" Italy Images = https://ln.sync.com/dl/e5827d500/x9qxsd4p-gejvr5di-tvdmphwc-p7wppnq2 The link will load into a folder "Sync/36". Be aware that this is a live feed to my Italy images. As I add more images these will automatically be added. You are advised to copy and paste the "Sync/36" folder into "Stamp Manage Images/36" because if I discontinue the link you will also lose the images. Regards colinATcolinpattrickDOTcom P.S. The images are freely available for anyone to download.
  2. Be aware that this is a LIVE feed to one of my stamp image folders. As I add stamp images these will automatically appear in the folder "Sync/57" folder. You are advised to occasionally copy & paste these images to "StampManageImages/57". This is for your protection as if I delete the feed then you lose the images. Not certain that you can download the link directly into StampManage or how you create a ZIP file from the link. From colinATcolinpattrickDOTcom Creator of this link

  4. Malaya/Malaysia Database entries not submitted as SM have not defined the CountryID or TypeID in initial SM database. In 2017 Scott Caralouge Scott numbers General Issue for Malaya-Kedah as Scott 1 to 105 and under Malaysia-Kedah Scott 106 to 145. Scott numbers General Issue for Malaya-Johore as Scott 1 to 155 and under Malaysia-Johore Scott 169 to 206. Therefore Kedah and Johore region need Two different CountryID and two different TypeID. They cannot be grouped together. Until SM clearly define the CountryID and TypeID there is no point submitting data ad adding to the mess that is Malaya and Malaysia
  5. Link to 144 Johore Images 51 = Johore https://ln.sync.com/dl/183dbc030/y932s5ik-athu5urf-avx285g7-3fpj3ihd Links to folder Sync/51 of 144 images regards colinATcolinpattrickDOTcom
  6. Link to Kedah Images 57 = Kedah Images https://ln.sync.com/dl/fd1280350/7qwq4tww-tprxgwk7-xanabz7e-49gc9255 Loads into a folder "Sync/57" and contains 117 images.
  7. Stamp Manage poorly represents Malaya/Malaysia as Scott numbers stamps from 1 onwards. These all need Seperate Country Names in the database with uniqueID numbers. These uniqueID numbers need to have a relationship with the Types of stamps issued. e.g. Sungei Ujong has only General Issue whilst Trengganu has 5 different types of stamps issued. Stamp Manage falls far short of basic requirements to enter Scott numbers into the database, hence I created my own list. I used some of the SM countryID & TypeID but the rest I created myself. I have submitted this list to SM. I have in my database all of the countries above with Scott numbers up to 2017 plus all types. Many of these have the images. I realize that:- Ctry + Type CountryID CountryName TypeID Description 121 Malaya State - Sabah (Malaysia only) 58042 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-45) 143 Malaya State - Sarawak (Malaysia only) 20152 GENERAL ISSUE 319 Malaya State - Wilaya Persekutuan (Malaysia only) 58879 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-7) should have been included in the above list. I will create a link to Johore(51) of 144 images plus a seperate heading link to Kedah(57) of 117 images, as soon as time permits. watch these pages.
  8. Anyone, including Stamp Manage Admin, can download the 4250 images of Spain. Cannot answer the question, will or when? Glad you liked them. colinATcolinpattrickDOTcom
  9. Any other person that can offer further help. please do so.
  10. Just a thought. Would you not create (if not present) a new record for your block of four Scott Stamps and then enter your FDC therein.
  11. 4,700 images as Jpegs with Scott Numbering does take time. However you should see the images loading into Folder "Sync", SubFolder "202", start straight away. If you go back periodically into the folder then more and more images will be downloaded. My World collection of 310,000 images took 6 hours to load to my laptop. The sync works in the background and its speed is dependant on the number of people accessing the link Please note that this is a live link. As I edit (e.g. I made a mistake) then I correct it and this is reflected in the live feed. As I add more Spanish Stamp images then this is also updated in the live feed you are seeing. You are seeing a live link to my stamp database of images. I have at present no intentions of stopping this live link, but if this should happen, you will not be able to view the live link. However there is nothing stopping you copying/pasting the images to a new file on your computer which i have no control over. Regards colinATcolinpattrickDOTcom
  12. https://ln.sync.com/dl/6869849d0/f3msga74-qssxg6nc-a4jz2cqk-7pu28i5d A link to my Sabah Stamp Images. It loads into a Folder called "Sync" with a sub-folder "121" (which is my folder name.) The link is live, so as I add more Sabah Stamps these will appear within the Link. If you have any missing Sabah stamps images then these would be appreciated. I collect World stamps so Sabah Images are only a part. colinATcolinpattrickDOTcom
  13. I found Malaya States a nightmare. For the Access Database to work correctly then each Malaysa States needs a seperate Country ID code plus a seperate Type ID code for the differing types of stamps. I created my own seperate Listing, see below. Sabah I set up as "Malaya States- Sabah" with Country Code 121 I have a number of stamp images of Sabah stamps and will do a link shortly colinATcolinpattrickDOTcom Ctry + Type THIS IS MY SUGGESTED LISTING (Not agreed with Stamp Manage) CountryID CountryName TypeID Description 614 Malaya - Federated Malay States (Scott 1 to 79) 29903 GENERAL ISSUE 615 Malaya - Federation of Malaya (Scott 80 to 115+ 21447 GENERAL ISSUE 615 Malaya - Federation of Malaya (Scott 80 to 115+ 58850 (2N) Occupation Under Thailand 615 Malaya - Federation of Malaya (Scott 80 to 115+ 49670 (J) Postage Due 615 Malaya - Federation of Malaya (Scott 80 to 115+ 58848 (N) Occupation under Japanese 615 Malaya - Federation of Malaya (Scott 80 to 115+ 58849 (NJ) Occupation under Japanese - Postage Due 51 Malaya State - Johore (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 21454 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott,1-168)&(169-196) 51 Malaya State - Johore (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58851 (J) Postage Due 51 Malaya State - Johore (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58853 (NJ) Occupation Postage Due 57 Malaya State - Kedah (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 21457 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-105)&(106-136) 57 Malaya State - Kedah (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58854 (N1) Occupation by Japan 58 Malaya State - Kelantan (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 21470 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-90)(91-124) 611 Malaya State - Malacca (Melaka)(Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 21472 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-66)(67-94) 611 Malaya State - Malacca (Melaka)(Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58856 (N) Occupation by Japan 611 Malaya State - Malacca (Melaka)(Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58857 (NJ) Occupation by Japan - Postage Due 674 Malaya State - Negri Sembilan (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 21463 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-75)(76-109) 674 Malaya State - Negri Sembilan (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58858 (N) Occupation by Japan 737 Malaya State - Pahang (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 21473 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-82)(83-118) 737 Malaya State - Pahang (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58859 (N) Occupation by Japan 752 Malaya State - Penang (Pulau Pinang)(Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 21474 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-66)(67-94) 752 Malaya State - Penang (Pulau Pinang)(Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58860 (N) Occupation by Japan 754 Malaya State - Perak (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 21465 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-137)(138-166) 754 Malaya State - Perak (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 20999 (N) Occupation by Japan 754 Malaya State - Perak (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58037 (O) Official Stamps 755 Malaya State - Perlis (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 21476 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-39)(40-76) 121 Malaya State - Sabah (Malaysia only) 58042 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-45) 158 Malaya State - Selengor (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 21468 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-120)(121-148) 158 Malaya State - Selengor (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58861 (N) Occupation by Japan 217 Malaya State - Sungei Ujong (Malaya Federation only) 28924 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-36) 263 Malaya State - Trengganu (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58047 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-85)(86-119) 263 Malaya State - Trengganu (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 53997 (B) Semi-Postal 263 Malaya State - Trengganu (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58862 (J) Postage Due 263 Malaya State - Trengganu (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58863 (N) Occupation by Japan 263 Malaya State - Trengganu (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 58864 (NJ) Occupation by Japan - Postage Due 319 Malaya State - Wilaya Persekutuan (Malaysia only) 58879 GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-7) 616 Malaysia (Scott 1 to 1183+) 21124 GENERAL ISSUE 616 Malaysia (Scott 1 to 1183+) 58865 (J) Postage Due
  14. This side of the pond in England its a Full Stop. Periods are things that ladies have. We suffer with color, colour; Gray, Grey; Gas, Petrol; etc I remember my teenage daughter babysitting for our American friends and I quote" the diapers are in this bag and the cookies are in the tin". What is a diaper and cookie she asked. I agree you use a different dictionary to us. But back to the problem. I use "( ) - , ; "etc in my title ( e.g. File Names). The only character I don't use is the period (Full Stop). Thought this might be the solution? to the problem. The Stamp Manage Program uses 'Microsoft Access' as its base program. With my 665,000 plus records showing Stamp Denomination and 90% showing Year coupled with 303,000 images (showing the correct image,) I have left using Stamp Manage many years ago. With too many errors/corrections/etc. Regards Colin@ColinPattrick.com
  15. The "." the dot on base line a punctuation mark (.) used at the end of a sentence or an abbreviation
  16. Hi Is that a FULL STOP at the end of your Album Name? White Ace-1 (1893-1956). Your Album name is used as a File Name. Just delete the Full Stop.
  17. F.Y.I. Stanley Gibbons calls the country "El Salvador" Scott calls the Country "Salvador, El" Stamp Manage lists both countries :- "Salvador, El" CountryID 888 "El Salvador" CountryID 135

  19. Its because Guernsey (Country ID =901) and Netherlands (Country ID = 677) both share the same Type ID of 612 for Postage Due. Its the Netherlands Postage Due Type Id which is wrong, It should be 19277 Type ID
  20. There are 29,500 stamp records within Stamp Manage that still require 'stampdenomination' field to be completed, before this could happen. Currant valuations would also need completion for all fields. This is a massive task and not sure what the total results would tell me, by country? Lots of stamps have little value, as witnessed by the Kiloware bundles in ebay
  21. Hi R.G.A. Loved your Soap Box Rant and agree with most points. I feel fractions that appear on postage stamps as ¼,½,¾ should appear in the database as such. Don't like 1/4 or converting to 0.25 (many stamps use 0.25c). For ¼ just hold ALT + 0188. For ½ just hold ALT 0189. For ¾ just hold ALT + 0190. For the 27 other fractions which covers 60 odd world wide stamps then Cut & Paste seems the best option. Popular Fractions FRACTION ¹/₁₀ ¹/₁₅ ¹/₃ ¹/₃₀ ¹/₅ ¹/₆ ¹/₇ ¹/₈ ¹/₉ ²/₁₅ ²/₃ ²/₅ ²/₇ ²/₉ ³/₁₀ ³/₅ ³/₇ ³/₈ ⁴/₅ ⁴/₇ ⁴/₉ ⁴/₈ ²/₈ On your other point of Currency Symbols I only use 3, (£,€,$) as prefixes to the Denomination. All other Currency Symbols appear as Suffixes. ( My English Keyboard has '£' & '$' keys. For '€' just hold Alt + 0128. You make some great comments on other points and I am in agreement.

  22. Hi Cliff StampManage uses an Microsoft Access Database. The program calls for the stamp image which is held outside the database and returns with the relevant stamp image. However there is no flag within Access to show NO image present. Have done lots of research on this question, but to date there does not seem to be a solution. Currently working on a method to import the relevant stamp sizes, as some of the images are of an unacceptable quality (too small) and some images are over 50kb per image (fine for Sheets,) but not acceptable for single stamps, as it makes the image files, too big. Importing the stamp size would enable Reports to be generated of missing images, however the Report would be out of date the minute a new image is added. As a major user of Access I have written a program that can 'Cut and Paste' a image into a single database screen. The image (if I accept it) is then saved into its image file, using the Scott numbering system. This helps overcome the many errors that seem to be occurring. The single database screen displays the denomination and the Scott number.(Year, Colour, description, watermark and Perforations etc are also displayed in many instances. Database covers some 605,000 items coupled with 273,000 Cloud based images. The British Commonwealth is particularly well covered, but it is a difficult area with Pairs, Sheets, Setsto contend with.
  23. FYI Scott 367, 511, 575, 757, 903, 1026 and 1044 with wrong images, along with Scott 619, 659, 714 and 717 that have the wrong image, and mentioned in earlier posts. Have sent you the corrected images, with Scott numbers. Just assume you received them?
  24. The Stamp Manage Database sets an ID for each country. This ID is also the Folder Name for that country set within the Image Directory. Your JPG images will also need to be saved, using Scott Numbering system, within the Image Directory. There is NO Linking needed between the database and the image files. The Access Database used by Stamp Manage does this marry up, without the need for linking. Regards Colin
