Discussion EDDiscovery API usage

[Finwen]

EDDiscovery now uses 3 different resources for information


* Elite Dangerous netlog.
Parse netlog to get information about visited systems.

* EDSM for information about positions of know stars. And also sends to EDSM trilateration information so we can collect more star positions

*EDDB more system information and stations.


My wishlist for improved logging from Frontier:

* Logging of system on always so we don't need to help users change appconfig.xml every day...
* Logging of docking in a station
* Log show landing on a planet.
* Log showing start and stop of SRV driving

Small wishes that can improve my information collecting allot. Will add more to my wishlist later....

I can't get EDDiscovery to run - a dialogue pops up on using the "setup" file, saying "Cannot start application Application cannot be started. Contact the application vendor. The "details" button on that dialogue gives:

Is there a different application that, similar to EDD (if it worked!), will log my jumps?
