[RELEASE] Slopey's BPC Market Tool! - New version!

updating the local db when anyage data already exists (tested again today from a clean db file) I entered 2 stations in 2 systems, going back to any station and inputting fresh data only updates the online db not the local
This is the problem with OCR, too many people don't check the result and we have loads of incorrect data ( Like Indium being registered as Indite )semi conducter seems to have been severly overpriced. buy them for 700 creds on average and system says you can sell them for 7k each
Would be great if slopey could add an option to ignore data that have too much variance compared to other data - there is no way an item can be bought for 1/10 of its sell price.
Yeah i'm guilty of submitting a couple of bad ones, sent them off and recalculated the best trade, and noticed a load of stupidly profitable indite runs, thought "pah, trolls messing with the data!". Wasn't til I actually realised they were all return trip profits to the station I'd just added! I've since corrected EliteOCR so it gets it right almost all the time, but as a precaution i've stopped letting it auto-add all the entries. Just ignore any results that are above ~1200 profit per ton, i haven't seen any over 1000 so if it's saying 7000 profit then it's clearly erroneous data.
Edit: and yeah, a quick error check clientside when uploading the data would be handy. Perhaps if the commodity is 1000 less or 1000 more than it's galactic average, you're given a prompt - "are you sure Gold is 6588 credits per ton?"

ok so i've made a quick tutorial video on using EliteOCR to create .csv files and how to import them into BPC as it's got checks inplace so it makes it hard to input wrong CSV data.

Thank you very much! I was supposed to do it myself but it will save me a lot of time.
I hope you mentioned to use at least 1080 pixel screenshots.

Still think its a great program.
BTW are you the slopey who wrote AirHauler for MS FlightSimulator?
regards, Bigtaff
You're missing the "Logs" bit on the path - you give the BPC the Log directory itself, not the directory that it is in.
Crashreport
Hello CMDR Slopey,
first of a big thanks for the tool, it's great!
In the newest version the program is crashing on me some time after starting, here's the error message I've managed to extract:
This happens while the program is still parsing the data, and always shortly after it auto-downloads new data - I don't know if it's the norm but my PC is slow enough that the 5 minutes between download pass before it's finished parsing
I've disabled auto-update and now it doesn't crash anymore, but I still wanted to let you know.
Fly safe!

I have a new version which will be out tonight which has a number of fixes.
The refresh is a little problematic as I'd previously tied that into the end of the download/parsing process. But I've moved it. It is updating locally for me, but I'll check again and see if it's falling over somewhere.

Which stations was it using though - it has a habit of selecting different outbound/inbound stations on the return.
I think the problem is with auto-adding the data. I'm assuming when you first get EliteOCR, the commodities list is empty (or incomplete), and is constructed when you confirm that "yes, this is such and such a commodity". If you use auto-add the first time round, the system recognizes indium and gallium, then when it finds indite and gallite, the confidence is high enough that it thinks they're the metals, not minerals, and so the user doesn't get a prompt saying "hmm, not sure on this one". Plus, indite and gallite are then not added to the commodities list, so the problem persists for every future scan. Letting people know that they should absolutely do the scan manually for the first few times is important. Train the system well, so to speak. Since I've done that, every single scan has been spot on, except for CDMPUT3R CDMPDNENT5, which always flags up as red so I have to retype (even after making sure the commods list is accurate, just seems to struggle with it).

If you don't get anything, it's either because a) you exported the CSV in horizontal mode in EliteOCR - take that off, or b) the system name isn't there -check the csv file. If each line starts with a semi-colon, EliteOCR hasn't put in the system so the BPC won't import it. I wish Seeebek would fix that as I'm getting endless support requests about it.
The next version of the BPC will inform you if it's missing.

Yes - I changed the timestamps to elapsed minutes, as the hh:mm timestamp makes no sense when data can be up to 72 hours old.
Good point on the station - I'll either add in the outbound station or I'll force the BPC to use the arrival station, as you don't really want to transfer in system, that might take a while.
i was going to make a video but cant seem to get OBS working - i do use "teamviewer" so if you wanted i could pass you the login data and show you on my machine.
Update.
The same thing happens at different stations and the commodity list for manual entry still only goes to Robotics, have decided to uninstall and re-install.
And that has cleared the issue, almost as though the commodity list didn't load correctly the first install.
They were the same stations in my case, Slopey. You can check the file that I provided on dropbox for a full set of screenshots.
I would love to use this great app, but I installed ed to a different drive, not drive c. i need to enter the path to ed log folder. so i entered edlaunch/logs.
is that correct as it is still not working. i also tried edlaunch/forc-fdev-d-1003 but no luck. am i doing this right guys?

Hi.
Is there any way to make it remember which screen it is closed from?
It always opens on my primary Monitor, but I use it on the secondary.
