Release EDDiscovery 18.X is now out! New modules panel upgrade and Engineering

So, I unistalled/re installed the application and all seem ok.
I left the default path for Journals, but shouldn't I use the path for the Netlog files instead?
I really don't get it ...sorry thanx anyway.

Downloaded the latest update today 9.02 and it still says new release available even after downloading and installing it.

Typo on the github release info (release looks like 9.2 from some angles, application knows it's 9.0.2, confusion ensues...)

Shouldn't do that any more.
 
Seems OK, now.

Windows Defender is still blocking the EXE installer.

Solution to this is have each built signed by the developer's digital certificate

Everytime there is an update to EDDiscovery, I can only install it after a week or so. In the first week, SmartScreen and Defender will block it and Norton raises a reputation Heuristic detection. Whitelisting doesn't help as the next update will have a different hash.

This isn't terribly difficult, either. TBH I don't know why they haven't bothered yet.

Thank you very much for the app. I'm using it now synced to EDSM.

It's very elegant but I have a few questions as the help pages don't seem to answers some questions (or I'm not looking in the right place):

When looking at the panels page, I'm actually not finding half of these panels in the app (such as the talk about an engineering panel).

From my (limited) experience of the app there seems to be no way of moving bulk data (e.g. select all history data in a certain range or using a certain filter) and transfer it, in bulk, to the expedition page. This would be handy.....

........... but I might just not know the app well enough to find the right buttons; whatever.

Anyway, thanks. It's a great tool for explorers.

right-click a tab and click on the "insert tab with xyz" option

In the case of an open source project, it is problematic at best to obtain a signing certificate. This is well known.

And frankly, if you are still using crap AV like Norton then well then that's on you. AV is an attack vector these days -- having a privileged process scanning every incoming file is pretty much a golden attack vector for privilege escalation.

So, as a non-cybergeek, what’s the alternative?
 
Use ad-blockers, guard your own actions online prodigiously. Effective firewalls are built into each operating system, and Windows Defender is pretty damn good apparently.
