A minor issue with ComicBase (CB) is that I need to check if Sidekick is performing tasks before opening CB. If I open CB and Sidekick is accessing the database, then CB will bring up a GUI to either allow me to open the database manager or browse computer for a database. A couple clicks later I can close out CB until Sidekick is finished.

Sure it is minor & infrequent, but it would be nice if CB would recognize that Sidekick is busy. If so, CB could ask if you want to wait, close, or choose another database.

Errors can occur if a Sidekick action is in progress and you happen to launch the ComicBase software at the same time.

Try this:
Quit out of ComicBase and launch ComicBase Sidekick. Go into the Settings option then the 'Schedule' tab.

We advised scheduling your actions to fire off when you're not using the main software (ex: 3am - your most likely asleep but your computer is on).

*If you wish Sidekick to do nothing automatically, set all the options to 'Never'

for a walk-through how to use Sidekick, check out this video: https://youtu.be/hTx24SQklJg?t=29
