I posted some suggestions as a github issue. I'm willing to help with PRs for some stuff too as I have some EDMC plugin dev experience.

Thanks, these are good ideas. I will create sub-issues for each feature. It's nice to have experience because I have none :) This one is my first plugin and my main language is Java.

Looks like after today's update we have Journal entries.

I knew I should have left it alone. I downloaded the edmc colonisation update tinight. Cleared the plugins folder of all the old junk and pasted in the extracted folder. I don't get any error messages when loading up edmc but the plugin is not cooperating. This is what I get.

Pressing Load FC data does nothing. I've tried re-installing but can't get it to work. I closely followed the advice on the last page but no luck. Any ideas as what I'm doing wrong this time?

@Cymoril Assuming you haven't, try landing at the construction site. Then you should be able to bind the plugin to it (by pressing a button in the main screen that will appear).

@kajoj thank you very much for this plugin, it's very helpful. Could I ask for some clarification please? I just downloaded and installed it, so it's most recent version as up to now. When I press "Load FC data" it shows "Updating..." and nothing happens. I tried it whilst docked at FC, whilst having FC Commodities Market open, but still says the same without returning. What am I doing wrong?
I had a previous version installed, but cleared the plugins folder and unzipped the current one. The commodities quantities shown from my FC are old, it's almost empty now and it doesn't update.

Thanks in advance, cmdr.

There was a bug here. Fixed a moment ago. Thanks @yianniv for reporting.

That was a very fast fix, thank you very much.
It's really an underrated plugin, simple, very well designed and to the point. It makes logistics so much easier to follow. If only FDev would show such attention to detail in their own game...
o7, cmdr, fly safe.

Taking out commodities via FC market seems to still not work right, I had 26 Titanium remaining to buy, I took out 794t from FC and fed it to the construction site, and I ended up with this :

Very good and useful plugin. Thank you.
Now about the sad part.
For some reason, the white text highlighting stopped working.
When you are on a station or aircraft carrier.
At the same time, when you buy, the green text highlighting turns on.
And perhaps you can round off the value of the number of flights remaining. "4.7 flights left" looks a little strange.

I have enjoyed using the plugin for the last few months. However, since last week the plugin no longer starts and EDMC throws this error message. The plugin works for other players. Any ideas?

In my case it happened when I reinstalled the plugin, I deleted the AppData\Local\EDMarketConnector\colonization folder in the parent directory of the plugins folder and it started working.
