For the commanders with a XBox Controller like myself since my X-55 broke down, I wrote a small GlovePie Script to use the controller as a mouse while EDEngineer is open.
That's actually only a part of my Elite script which does much more than that, but the rest has nothing to do with EDEngineer. :)

Can be modified to your own desires.
This example goes with BACK to activate EDEngineer and uses left stick for mouse pointer and right for the wheel. A button is left mouse button.

Code: 
;Shortcut to EDEngineer (Ctrl+F10) mapped to XBox Controller Button (back)
key.Ctrl + key.F10 = XInput.Back

if (window.Title = "EDEngineer") then
  ;Speed of mousewheel larger means slower
  var.mw = 2
  ;Deadzonefor the sticks
  var.dz = 0.1

  mouse.LeftButton = xinput.A

  ;50 is the mouse dampening value, larger means slower
  mouse.x = mouse.x + (DeadZone(xinput.Joy1X,var.dz)/50)
  mouse.y = mouse.y - (DeadZone(xinput.Joy1Y,var.dz)/50)

  var.s = var.s + DeadZone(xinput.Joy2Y,var.dz)

  if var.s > var.mw then
    mouse.WheelUp = true
    mouse.WheelUp = false
    var.s = var.s - var.mw
  endif

  if var.s < -var.mw then
    mouse.WheelDown = true
    mouse.WheelDown = false
    var.s = var.s + var.mw
  endif
endif

great app
that thankfully doesnt ask for my login data.

now, just a few moment ago, the app auto-updated itself when i launched it, and suddenly windows defender marked it as unsafe - for the first time

what happened?

No, not at the moment. I reduced the font size of materials in the last patch though!

Means I pushed an update ; are you sure it's Defender that is complaining and not SmartScreen? Everytime I'll push an update, SmartScreen is supposed to complain that the application isn't signed (or "recognized"). It doesn't check for anything besides this (e.g. I could bother with a certificate just to hide the warning, but I don't).

Thanks but i actually wanted to increase them :)
can you add this to the roadmap (both size and color control) ?
reason at least for me is using high res display its harder on the eyes...

thanks in advance

Having just come back to ED and messing with engineers for the first time last week, this is exactly what i was looking for. Thanks for creating this.

Would be nice if the shortcut didn't require a qualifier key such as CTRL, or ALT.

I'd like to use F10, but the program refuses to recognize it without a modifier key also being used. For various reasons regarding my HOTAS software, modifier keys are trouble.

Is there any chance to save last window position and state? It always starts off-screen and locked... pretty annoying :)

Otherwise its of course the best tool ever :)

that's already the case; is that the only thing that is not persisted for you? for example your shopping list or your active filters, are they persisted between sessions or do they also reset?

Filters are persistant. And it´s running as Administrator.

Great apps, thanks. I am looking for an option to clean my materials inventory. Is there a way to select all the blueprints I want in order to have a list of all useless materials so I can get rid of it? Like, all existing material minus my shopping list would give the useless. That would be so helpful for an easier management.

Confirming that the app doesn't require administrator rights ever, even when installing it ; it was part of my personal requirements goal as personally I would never run an unsigned application (EDEngineer is only signed using an unregistered certificate) as administrator.

Are you running the latest version? (1.0.7.5) http://i.imgur.com/UojlBs1.png

You might want to reinstall the app just in case. Apart from that, I think multiple screens could be an issue if you run EDEngineer then quit the app, unplug one of your screens and relaunch the app (the application saves the absolute position of the window as if all the current active screens were a single one).

I wanted to ask if there is a way to get rid of old commanders in ED Engineer. I have started a second account but was toying with different commander names so now when i start up ED Engineer I have different commander tabs. Is it possible to delete the ones I'm not using?

I TOTALLY love this app and has transformed Engineering in ED for me, made the grind a little more bearable. Only wish I could use the overlay mode on Win7 which I know won't happen due to Win being so old etc *cries* I go by the old adage "if it ain't broke why fix it!" kinda of thing
