Two new online services for your CLZ Games app!
* Add Games by Platform
A new 3rd tab in the Add Games screen for quickly adding all games you own for a platform: just checkbox the games you own from a full list of games per platform. The list also clearly highlights the games you already have In Collection or On Wishlist, making it a perfect tool for platform completionists.
* Add Hardware from Core
Search our new Core online hardware database, to easily add consoles, controllers and other accessories. Automatically get descriptions, box images, device images, backdrop images, sometimes even YouTube promo videos.
IMPORTANT: both are premium online services, so require an active CLZ Games subscription!
Fixed:
- When downloading new entries from CLZ Cloud, previously cleared fields could get filled in.
- In the Add from Core screen, when adding a game that is already in your app as 'On Wish List' or 'On Order', the app will now offer to change its status to 'In Collection'.

* Faster CLZ Cloud syncing!
Several structural changes to the CLZ Cloud syncing, making it much much faster than before, especially when syncing large amounts of entries up or down.
Note that most of the performance improvements are in the actual Sync with CLZ Cloud screen. The Auto-Syncing in the background is also slightly faster now, but if you need to sync many entries, please use the CLZ Cloud screen.
* New design for Sync with CLZ Cloud screen
While we were at it, we decided to do a quick make-over for the Sync screen, with a new look and layout and a direct link to your CLZ Cloud page online.
5.1.1
2020-02-14
New:
- Quick-search your folders
This update introduces a new search box right above the folder panel, that lets you instantly search/filter the folder panel as you type! Just typing a few letters is often enough to bring the folder you are looking for into view
- Sort your folders by count
By default, the folders are sorted alphabetically. But as of today, there is another option: sort your folders by the counter, that is by the number of games contained.
Sorting by the counters is a nice way to find the most important platforms, developers, publishers, etc..
- Now uses our brand-new CLZ Cloud Sync server
Previously one big server was handling the Connect website, the CLZ Cloud website AND the CLZ Cloud syncing from the desktop programs and the mobile apps.
But this week we have set up a brand-new dedicated Sync-server to handle just the CLZ Cloud syncing.
Fixed:
- Field Defaults: It wasn't possible to set the rating field back to zero.
- Manage Pick Lists: Merging list items caused too many sync changes.

* Now supports and syncs multiple collections !
Manage multiple "sub-collections" within your database. Use the menu to add a new collection, switch between collections or manage them.
Sync multiple collection through the CLZ Cloud, e.g. to/from the Game Connect cloud-based software or the Game Collector desktop software.
* Automatic cloud-syncing of your own "custom" images
No more need to "force" the upload of your own images through the Edit screen. Once you replace an image, the image is automatically flagged as "Custom Image" and will automatically sync to the CLZ Cloud.

For your privacy and security, we strongly recommend updating your app to v4.11.
* Changed:

- The sync screen wasn't logging local deletes.
4.10.2
2018-05-09
* New for the Add Games screen:
- Add button is now bigger and easier to spot (some new users missed the little round "+").
- Add button now "remembers" your collection vs. wish list selection. No need to pick from the Collection/Wish List popup menu every time you add anymore.
* Fixed:
- Adding a game would clear the collection status filter in the main screen.
- iPad: Main screen: the details view did not refresh after changing the details template.
- iPad: Main screen: the 'edit my rating' pop up was rotated when in landscape mode.
