What I have found that works for me is to do the following. 1. Enter the new varieties without entering new values for those stamps. 2. Press the 'New Category' button but do not make any actual changes. 3. Press the 'Close' button and the Data Manager will close and update the value table. 4. Go back to the Data Manager and enter new values for those stamps that you just added. 5. You can then close the Data Manager and those values should be retained.

I have finally gotten around to the point where I want to input a lot of my recent inventory of US Stamps...namely for 2021 and 2022. But there do not seem to be any values listed for those stamps in the software. I am running Stamp Manage 2023. Is this a problem with my own system or is SM no longer including values?

SM gives rather short shrift to Israel stamps with virtually no images and no stamp values over the past 15 years or so. As to the tab singles, I had once suggested that SM add that format but was told since Israel was the only country with that format they did not feel it was necessary. In any event, you can simply add your own 'tab single' format and then include the value you want just like you would have to do with any existing format anyway for recent issues.

In my collection I have simply added them under the "For Unesco" category...adding stamp numbers as necessary. As I recall SM has not updated the French stamps for several years now.

Just curious if anyone uses this program for Naval, Air, and event covers? The stamp or stamps used on such covers are often irrelevant so classifying them by Scott, Michel, Yvert, etc. does not really work. If there are suggestions on how to inventory such covers using SM please let me know. Thanks, Ken

Thanks, though in reality that was not my main concern, rather I would like to have the images column at least be long enough so that the word “Image” is not cut off. The problem with the images column might be related to the resolution of my monitor which is 5120 x 2160. For example, when I use the computer where my SM program is located as a remote computer from my laptop, the full word of “Image” appears along with extra spacing. So even though that column can not be expanded, the full relative size of each image appears. That does not happen when viewing on my monitor at its primary resolution of 5120 x 2160.

Yes

Just installed SM2022 update. (Running on Windows 11 Pro.) Couple of somewhat minor though irritating apparent bugs in the main view portion of the program. 1. The Image column cannot be widened and as a result (at least on my large 40 inch monitor), the images shown in that column are very tiny. 2. If one wants to move a column to the left of the image column, it can be done, but then those columns to the left of the image column are completely blank. (See attached)

Back in 2019 you indicated you would try to enable the ability to override the "reset" function when choosing APPLY to add stamps. Thus if one has a group of Plate Blocks, First Day Covers, etc. it would not be necessary to keep switching back from the "single stamp" designation for each additional item. Is this still being considered? Or did I miss the implementation of that feature?

I agree that the process often creates problems. 1 - Incorrect (and irrelevant) Information provided through this process does not get corrected by Liberty before being incorporated into updates. 2 - When incorrect listings and images are DELETED by the user, this deletion is not carried through on updates A good example is to look at the Poland database and my thread from last year: Unfortunately, however, SM does not do its own updates for many (most?) countries, (as an example, when I worked on the Poland database last year it had not been updated since 2010 and with disastrous updates for 2008-2010) consequently the only way they get updated at all is through this method.

Not sure what you mean by "Cat #". If you are looking at your stamp inventory in general, you can click on any column heading to have the inventory sorted in order by that column. Click again on the same column and it will reverse the order. If neither this suggestion nor Colin's post clear up your question, can you post an image of what you are seeing and that may make your question clearer?

Never mind.... I should have looked at the SM Technical Support Page which has the solution for this problem as follows: From the main menu, select:Tools > Reset Add Stamp Dialog window size settings Then EXIT and restart StampManage. That took care of the problem for me.

Today I was not at home but decided to use a remote connection to access my Windows 10 PC. Everything worked fine until I started to use SM. When I tried to enter a stamp, the pop-up window was incomplete so that I could not get access to the right side of the stamp information on the additional information tab. See the image below. As can be seen in the image below, the right side of the add stamp window is cut off. In particular I can not choose a different seller that a stamp was purchased from since the scroll down arrow is not accessible. Not can I choose to click on 'APPLY' at the bottom right since that button does not show. There is no scroll bar at the bottom which would allow me to access that part of the window. I tried various other things, including changing the font size etc. but to no avail. Can this be rectified or do others that use remote connections to access their SM files not have this issue??

Send a message directly to the support email of SM (techsupport@libertystreet.com) . That is what I did and I was asked for the screen resolution of my monitor. Once I told them, I was advised they would make sure that they adjusted the program to reflect the screen resolution of my monitor in the next update. FWIW, my screen resolution was 3440 x 1440 which reflects a very large 34 inch screen.
