Ka-Ching! started with comics, and plenty of it still assumed you collect comics. This release makes it fit whatever you collect: cards, figures, vinyl, films, games or a mix. New installs get a short setup guide, and a round of fixes from a full audit makes the everyday jobs quicker.

What you collect

  • A setup guide on new installs. What you collect, whether you pre-order, which pages to show, currency and budget, theme and layout, and an optional password. Every step can be skipped, and you can run it again from Settings → Help. Existing installs never see it unless they open it.
  • What you track (Settings → Appearance) replaces the three layout presets. Tick what you collect and whether you pre-order, and the pages that don't fit are switched off for you: Price creep only shows for numbered things like comics and manga, Top titles is hidden if nothing you collect comes in sets or series, and the pre-order cards go if you don't pre-order. You can still switch any card back on, and Reset cards to preset puts things back.
  • Price creep and Top titles get their own on/off switch ("Show this page") in Customise and in Settings → Appearance. A hidden page also leaves the sidebar.
  • A type for every category: Comics, Manga and books, Trading cards, Figures and toys, Vinyl and music, Films and TV, Video games or Something else, set in Settings → General → Categories. The type decides the words used: a Set for trading cards, a Line for figures, an Artist for vinyl, and so on. Existing categories get a type from their name (you can change it). On upgrading, unused Comics and Manga type categories get Numbered issues switched on.
  • A Series / Set box on Log orders, the import review screen and Edit item, worded to match the category. For comics and manga it's worked out from the title, so you can leave it empty. It suggests names you've used before, and is included in both CSV exports.
  • Top titles groups by Series / Set, with its wording following what you collect ("Top sets by total spend" for cards, and so on).
  • Gold / silver is no longer a starter category on new installs. If you already have it, it stays.

Orders, Calendar and Alerts

  • A floating bar for bulk select: Mark paid, Delay (+30, +60 or +90 days), Cancel and Remove. Esc or ✕ clears the selection.
  • Calendar: a Day / Whole month switch replaces "Show whole month".
  • Alerts: "Fine as it is". Items with no order number or no release date can be marked as fine, so they stop showing up. You can bring any of them back from "Marked as fine".
  • "Ghost items" are now called items with no order number.

Smaller changes

  • Typing a new category: the "Add ..." row comes first, and + New category... stays at the top of the list.
  • Overview: the 10 releases card just has Recent, Most expensive and Lowest tabs; figures say "item" rather than "issue".
  • Where each series sits (Price creep) shows the same hover box as the charts.
  • Log orders tabs are now Paste an order and Add by hand.
  • The sidebar budget box sits at the very bottom, below Collapse.
  • Clearer text box borders and focus rings in every theme.

Fixes

  • Shipping was counted too many times for orders with several release dates. An order's real postage was added to every parcel in it. It's now shared across the order's parcels, so still due, budgets and shipping figures come out lower and correct.
  • Insights left out items with no release date. Older orders that only have an order date are now included, so Overview, Spend by shop and the Dashboard all give the same total.
  • The Dashboard's year so far and all time figures now include shipping.
  • Notifications that keep failing are now flagged on the Dashboard and in Alerts, with the reason in plain words.
  • Price creep only uses categories with Numbered issues on, counts manga in volumes, and ignores issues bought only as a variant, so one pricey variant no longer fakes a big rise or drop.
  • Series typed in capitals (common on eBay) group with the same series written normally.
  • Free (£0) items no longer show as unpaid.
  • The Alerts page shows open alerts first, and dates read "15 Sep" everywhere.
  • Chart labels stay readable at any width, and the 12-month trend no longer dips below zero.
  • Various things running off the edge on narrow screens, and wording tidied throughout.
