- Start date
This might just be me missing something minor but I've noticed that pulldown menus on panels will pull up, not pull down. After investigating it looks like it is due to my panels being on monitors that are not as "high" as other monitors. The menus will pulldown if the monitor it resides on is higher or aligned with other monitors in the Display control panel.
Here's an image of how my displays are setup:
Since monitor 1 is the highest, any panel on there will have a normal pulldown menu, panels on other monitors will pull up. I don't want to rearrange the monitors since they are physically positioned the same way.
Am I missing something, is there a way to make the pulldown menus always pulldown rather than up using some setting?

No, you're not missing something. The code that decides whether the dropdown will fit underneath the box or not is getting confused by your monitor set up (I don't think any of the devs have similar for testing on...).
I've only got one - one of us probably has enough to be able to track it down though.

It's just a minor inconvenience and I might be able to rearrange my displays to work around it a bit.
Thanks to you and the other developers for the great app. I couldn't do my cockpit set up without it. I've got Robert Maynard's Status Display running on the lower middle monitor behind 2 MFDs and EDDiscovery running on 3 of the monitors. I still need to do some configuration and I think the profiles feature will come in really handy. Here's how my cockpit set up looked a few months ago, it's a bit more polished now.

Wow, what a setup. I'm jealous.
I have three, all the same size, in landscape mode, so don't have the ones below.
I'll investigate the issue and see if we can fix.

I see you have EDD in the panel format it came in.. remember you can adjust what each panel is showing (hover over the bar and use the panel selector), you can add new splits to each view (hover over the splitter and right click) and of course you can use compass/spanel overlays positioned over the Elite window itself.
And with profiles, you can trigger a completely different set of panels for supercruise, for landing, etc..

I'm still trying to figure out how I want everything laid out, mostly due to feature creep. Originally it was going to be smaller with just 3 monitors and the MFDs with cardboard inserts. I'm using StatusDisplay on the center 11" monitor now to provide real information and labels for the MFDs. My OCD got the better of me, I couldn't deal with a single small monitor on the worktable all alone so I mounted 2 more.
I'll give the compass overlays a look. I was planning on using EDISON but StatusDisplay and EDD can all do something similar. I need to experiment and see what I like on where.
Hi,
I can't seem to find a way to load records from 2016 or 2017, I'm probably missing a check box or something. I have the set settings option " Only read Essential Entries" to Disabled-Load all, but still cant seem to get back to anything over 365 days old.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Thanks
I had to look at the Journal tab and not the History tab as it seems there is only 1 years worth of history, but the journal goes back to the oldest log.
I did however find what i was looking for
Cheers

I had a look. the code looks at the screen that the control is on and sizes it to that screen. its not clever enough (and it would take a lot to make it clever) to know that there is a screen beneath it that it could use.
int botscr = Screen.FromControl(this).WorkingArea.Height;
int botcontrol = location.Y + this.Height + _customdropdown.Height;
if (botcontrol < botscr)
_customdropdown.Location = new Point(location.X, location.Y + this.Height);
else
_customdropdown.Location = new Point(location.X, location.Y -_customdropdown.Height);
So it always sits on the screen of the bit you clicked on.
Making it understand screen geometry like you have would be a fair bit of code
Sorry.

Well, thanks for looking. I'm guessing that the code is looking at the entire extended desktop area, which above my side monitors is not visible on screen. It's kind of like if I take a full screenshot, I get all 6 displays, most of which is black.
I'll try using the Nvidia control panel to combine some of the monitors into larger monitors but leave the 4k out of that. I'll see how it goes.
request:
can you streamline the naming pattern of the tech broker shopping list?
its all over the place
eg. guardian things should have "guardian" first, then item name, then size (for the weapons)
thanks

Is there a way to trim the ships list to remove those from prior-to a clear save? I pulled-down the ships/loadout window and saw all these ships listed that were from my commander prior to doing a clear-save last year (all the "@" ones in the image below for example).

Rename the commander, create a new commander with your commander's name, then move all of the events since the clear save to that new commander.
The ship list is determined at run time from your commander's journal history, and is not persistently stored anywhere.
How can one rename the commander in EDDiscovery? - I don't see the option to do that, the name is greyed-out in the edit settings panel.
Sorry, didn't realize the commander couldn't be renamed.
Try either:
* Create a new commander, select the history entries before the clear save (selecting by e.g. clicking the row header for the first entry and shift-clicking the row header of the last entry), right-click, and move to that commander; or
* If you don't want the old history, then select the entries you don't want, right-click, and Hide Entries.
