New profile feature coming along in 10.2 https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/151028492048269313/459390228361248779/unknown.png

a profile holds all your UI settings - which tabs, which popouts, all settings
you can have many profiles
manually change between them... or...
automatically change due to a event, such as docked, or undocked... or approach body etc.
so you could make the panels all disappear when docked, then reappear when launched, then some disappear when you approach a body and the compass panel turns on...

Thanks for all your hard work working on this, it's amazingly useful and I try to use it all the time! I don't suppose I could ask a favour though - literally every time an update comes out norton flags it based on heuristics as an insecure file etc. I submit the github link to them and a couple of days later they come back and say yep it's fine, any chance you could either submit it to them or is there some way of making sure it's not flagged in general (yes I know the other answer would be to stop using norton...) https://support.norton.com/sp/en/uk...on&q=submit+a+suspicious+link&site=nrtn_en_US

I am releasing the first alpha version of the EDDX52 Plugin for EDDiscovery.

This Plugin gives you full control over the LEDs and MFD of the X52 Pro and even gives you the ability to define callbacks for entries on the MFD and create flash patterns for the MFD, all through the Action language.

Please note that a bug in the current release of EDD might prevent the DLL from loading. The issue is resolved in the master branch of EDD on Github, but not in a current release.

Download: https://github.com/wulkanat/EDDX52/releases

10.1.3 is putting with some bug fixes. Incl the DLL load above.

We pass the exe pass virus total.com just to check. I'm not going to submit it individually to other virus scanners, there are too many to do that for every release.

And since they are using heuristics it's probably not until enough people have installed it they will be happy anyway.

Since today I am not able to launch EDD anymore - the program just stops responding after a few moments during startup. These are a few lines from the trace log file:

Reverting back to version 10.1.2.0 gave the same results. Thanks for your help!

Well, it seems that my EDDSystem.sqlite file was corrupt - I moved that file out of the Data order and let EDD build a new one, and all is working well again. Would have missed Amy talking to me...

I had the same problem - 10.1.2 was unresponsive. Updated to 10.1.3, same.

Removed the above mentioned EDDSystem.sqlite file and bingo, this excellent app is back up and running. Thanks Tuomasi!

If it helps anyone I found the file in users/YOURNAME/AppData/Local/EDDiscovery/

Query: Is the EDDSystem.sqlite file 'common' and re-creatable? Can I symlink it?

I've created a 2nd windows profile to run a 2nd Cmdr account, and deliberately wanted to have two EDD installs - but, the EDDSystem.sqlite is over 5GB....twice, so I was wondering if I could share it between the accounts? Not sure *how* (I've symlinked folders, not files....and I obviously wouldn't want to share EDDUser.sqlite). Doesn't matter if it can't, but figured if it was basically the EDSM download I would be keeping both installs uptodate regardless which profile I was using :)

You can try, and if you're not running both simultaneously then it'd probably work. I'm not sure that we'd consider it a supported feature if it goes horribly wrong though...

Caveat Modder... ;)

ETA: the start time for querying EDSM for new known systems since the last sync is from the settings table which actually lives in EDDUser, not EDDSystems - that will probably cause the two instances to harmlessly but needlessly duplicate downloads but avoid storing things twice on local discs at least. Probably.

Scanned Information query

Great app btw, amazing detail, that said I want to make some use of the information in there.

Can I search for a material on a planet like Molybdenum within the database I've created over the time, and get it to give me the higest 10+ locations of said material (%), with both the obaject and the star data info, so I can navigate my way there and start collecting it.

Big ask I know but I've struggled with trying to work it out with this app.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Your best bet at the minute for that sort of search is to use EDSM

You can't filter it to just your submissions, but why would you want to?

When your crafing or doing engineers, and you need to collect a material, why would you want to spend your time on a planet containing .7% material when you can get one at 1.3 or 1.5%. EDD collects the information, why not use it to make your material search easier. Admittedly, all the information is in one log entry, and extracting this into something meaningful will require effort, but it would enhance the app.
Besides, this game already makes use of so many plugins, so many different apps, and websites where does it stop.

I prefer https://spansh.co.uk/bodies for such kind of searches.

Cheers, for this link, it solves the immediate task for me, very easy.

I use EDDB - https://eddb.io/body

Specify the material (or materialS), your current location, click and bang - you get a list which you can order by preponderance for example:

https://eddb.io/body?m=6&p=0&t=0&d=0&r=17072&a=50

gives a list of bodies with Arsenic within 50 Ly of Sol

Yep, a better search tool would be good to put in.

One use of EDD if you prefer to play it that way is to use it to keep a record of your discoveries, and only use it for looking up stuff, not use 3rd party databases. You record scan data, you record market data, if you only use EDD to search data.

It's sort of half way between the no third party tool people and the look up everything people.

That's why we have put in panels to show all the data you collect

I'm in the look up everything camp btw!

I prefer external tools to search for things, my EDD Database has over 196,000 entries and every search is painfully slow.

This is mostly because it searches while you're typing.

Trying to search for AA-A H systems?

Oh you typed an A - lets try to list everything containg this letter.
Oh another A - lets start the search again and list everything containing AA

And so on.

It would be way better if one could fill in what to search for and then click some kind of 'search' button.

I just copy and paste the full entry in to avoid that issue.
