  1. My workaround is to just increase the scaling in Windows. It works best if you start SramoManage the go to Display Settings,.select Display, (if more than one), then change the setting "Change the size of text,. apps, and other items":. You can change the scaling on just one display or all but it is done individually.
  2. There seems to be something from with Madagascar. If on the add menu I select the country I see some issues and if I select on General Issues I see nothing.
  3. When I am working in South Vietnam. when I go to add stamp panel, there are no thumbnails or main image in viewer. They are present in the collection view. It just states :image not available" but they obviously are. The file size limit makes it impossible to attach an image.
  4. I checked my backups of SM (would include prior versions) and cannot find a folder ever numbered 46.
  5. Can you clarify your question? What file is missing?
  6. I have not seen the large quantity number issue in the Add screen in the 2022 version, As for adding large quantities, I assume you know if you are adding a lot of stamps with similar characteristics (condition, etc), you can select multiple items by highlighting them (hold control or shift key depending on contiguous or not) to add all at once. It may be easier to add a range then delete what you do not have. Al
  7. To use anything but the application defaults is asking for trouble if you do not understand that decisions are being made that you may not always noticed if one does not understand how the installation is structured. When upgrading, StampManage will note file locations but then you have to then remember and not skip over. Given that, StampManage documents file locations under Tools / Preferences. The file path is in the Collection Stamp Images Directory setting. You can change location by selecting the down symbol and then navigating to the correct directory. Of course, Windows has gotten "better" so locations follow MS file structure (\Users\<name>\Documents\StampManage\Images). If you want file locations for your images on your desktop, it is best to install with defaults then create shortcuts on your desktop for the locations. This eliminates the risk of missing some upgrade where SM cannot locate something.
  8. It looks like StampManage wants you to add to General, Air Mail, etc section and then use "Format" field to select First Day Cover so the FDC is associated with a catalog number. This may not be a 100% solution since covers may have multiple catalog number stamps.
  9. I am on Windows 10. My workaround for this to increase the default screen scaling size using the "Display Settings Scale and layout setting for the specific display. My default mode is 125% already and use 150% for the screen with StampManage (I have a 3 display set up). It scaling works best when StampManage is already open when you make the display change.
  10. You can use the Status field since it is a unique to each item added to collection (not related to the Stamp Database information like Variety).. It is on the Additional Information tab.
  11. I just got a new laptop. After I finished the installation and ensured it was working, I just copied the stampdata.mdb file from my old system to the corresponding location on the new system and all worked. Note: I did not worry about custom reports nor did I supplement any images. My approach is the minimum way to get back to my old system. Al
  12. I migrated to a new pc and had to reinstall. It takes a long time. You may click on something and it can take some time before you see any feedback. It is obviously doing work in the background but no real time screen progress in the early phases.
  13. Per LS, Is your ADD STAMP dialog cut off at the right? if so, you can use the TOOLS > RESET ADD STAMPS SETTING command in the main menu. My challenge is the text is too small . The main window does not scale with Windows font settings.

    The convention is that it is the Scott design number although some have added other information. Al
