Thank you very much for a great tool.

Does anyone know how to resize the history grid so that I can get the information panel on the right to show properly?

Posted this in the other thread, perhaps in error, I'll try again here.

Chaps, a quick question. Trying to install 7.0.4 over 7.0.3 gives me this error:

I've never had problems updating before, and have been running it since 2.6.8

I thought instead I'd simply uninstall 7.0.3 and install 7.0.4 fresh, but that throws up this error:

There are no .msi files in any of the folders within \AppData\Roaming\EDDiscovery. Any ideas how best to proceed?

That's a MSI (Microsoft Installer) error. Basically when a program installs with MSI it keeps tabs on the source location and tags it, or at least it can. Then, when the uninstall command is given through some action by the user (either through add/remove or some other method) it can use that same MSI archive to uninstall the program. When you uninstall stuff that's installed through MSI you're effectively running a command like MSIEXEC.EXE /u <Product MSI OR Product code (GUI, long string of numbers and letters that's stored in the registry)>. If that reference point gets mucked up for some reason or the user deletes the folder that the program is installed in manually (or any of its attendant files or folders under the user's profile) this can fail.

SO....

Here's what you try (hopefully this will work):

First, leave that error message up.

Go to the github site and download the latest release: https://github.com/EDDiscovery/EDDiscovery/releases/tag/Release_7.0.4

Create a folder on the root of C: called Eddiscovery .

Download the executable file into that folder on the C drive.

(I'm assuming Windows 10)

Hit the Windows key, type cmd and hit enter. You are now in the cmd shell.

Type:

cd\ (Brings you back to root)
cd eddiscovery (switches the current directory to the one you created)

You will now be in the Eddiscovery folder on the drive in the cmd shell.

Type: Eddiscovery.exe /extract and hit Enter. It will decompress the files into that folder. There should be two MSI files and a cab file. They are named:

disk1.cab
eddiscovery.msi
eddiscovery.x64.msi

You'll also see the original executable.

Now, go back to that error message. Hit browse and then navigate to that Eddiscovery folder and point it at the eddiscovery.x64.msi file. Then see if it lets you proceed. If it does, you're golden.

If it does not, then things get somewhat complicated depending on your level of expertise. You're basically going to have to mine out all the references to the installation from the Registry.

The main hive for MSI installed products is : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products . Underneath there lies one GUID (long string of numbers and letters) that points to the Eddiscovery installation. You'll have to search for it and then delete that key. My key name, for instance is: 3D577713A7A2B0941850BDAA340214BB but I can't say that's going to match for you. If you select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the tree view on the left in Regedit (click it once and highlight) it should..and I stress should...come up as the first hit if you search for the string 'eddiscovery' without quote marks.

I know this sounds hairy, but I used to encounter that error a lot when doing automated installations at work if the user somehow found a way to delete folders directly instead of properly uninstalling.

Good luck.

Absolutely fantabulous tool! Has made exploration soo much more effecient and fun.

Am using the female hawking voice pack. Only thing I would change would be for planet callouts to replace citation of range with earth mass.


Thanks!!!

Ok another stupid question
How do you delete bookmarks or target marks? I've right-clicked on them, & I've looked in the tools bar on the map, but I can't see any delete mechanism.

CMDR Wolzan released a whole new version of the Elite Galaxy Online API (news and documentation), so I wanted to ask: could you add data upload support to EGO too please?

I hoping someone can help me regarding the Exploration Panel and what the functions across the top mean, and how to use.

I currently use the 'Import Sphere' feature when in an area of interest, and this gives me names of systems in white text of those (if any) have been visited by another Cmdr previously. Any that are within the sphere I have visited show up as orange text, with an exclamation mark in the left most column. (I am using Verdana theme by the way).
My question is when do those 'orange systems' become 'white' within the list? The reason I ask, is that in another area, some systems I visited over a month ago are still orange, yet others close in and visited at the same time are now white. Why? What is determining this change from orange to white?
Those systems found by another Cmdr, and not visited by myself, but when visited by myself have the 'visisted' (yes there is that spelling mistake in the column heading) increments immediately upon arrival so that works fine, as does the details when scanning.

Is there any chance of an explanation of how to use the other features of the panel, because at the moment I can't work out as to what end I would use them but I'm convinced there must be one. :)

Regards

Edit: P.S. Yes I have looked at the Wiki, unfortunately it doesn't offer any assistance.

Random question, does anyone know how to start a new dataset for ED discovery?
So I've exported all my data for the shepherd Mission from Edd, and now I want to start from scratch with a new Mission with new data not mixed in with my shepherd data.
Any help is much appreciated. Im pretty sure I read somewhere that you can at least set up different colors for your map, so i imagine with that feature you should be able to set up a different data set.

Another option is to create a second cmdr, which I did using the same API, but I can't "switch" cmdrs to the new one to start logging data - and I don't want to delete my Main cmdr account.

Thoughts?

Commander name is taken directly from the game because it's encoded in the journal files. So you can't change it
Normally you just separate data by date.

When you open 2D or 3D map, or view history, you can just filter by date range to isolate a particular expedition.
No need to start over.

If you do need to start over, I think your only option is to back up the EDD database and then delete it.
If you do that though, data will re-download from EDSM and old history will re-populate unless you change to a new EDSM account.

Thanks for responding. Unfortunately it looks like the history cannot be filtered by an exact date but only a range unlike the 2D map. Moreover, when you export the data into a CSV file it exports your entire history regardless of your history filter.

That being said I guess I could manually delete the data within the CSV file itself once I have exported it for certain dates because it exports the date of scan in the file. That will probably work I was just wondering if there was a built-in feature for that!

Anyone any suggestions why EDDiscovery would have stopped showing my recent travel data? Verbose Logging is =!. Used to work perfectly but now no longer shows travel history. I didn't do anything other than update to the current version.
