The devil is in the details ain't it?
I'll second that. I really can't imagine playing without it.
I don't bother with actual prices (though I did experiment with them) as I find the supply and demand levels enough for my needs. It's a big plus that this approach is still perfectly usable.
I think the one thing that would make it even better for me would be if the trading window would remember the search mode setting. I always use Classic Mode (no prices) of course. Is there a flag I can set in the data files?
Sadly no; but I'll put that in for the next version.
How about a button marked "moneymoneymoney" that plays the sound of a cash register?
Add : Atmosphereic Processors -> Atmospheric Processors

Well on the plus side I didn't do a damn thing tonight. Tomorrow I'll take a peek at that CSV file. I'm pretty good at text parsing so if it's not to crazy I wouldn't be surprised if I could get import working in a single evening. But don't quote me on it
Note that there is a current issue with EliteOCR, that the CSV file it creates has a date column containing a date stamp where the timezone is assumed to GMT+0. I live in GMT-5, and when I imported that CSV into Cmdr's Log, it put incorrect number of hours in the Age column for that station.
I've reported the bug in the EliteOCR thread here and asked them to add a Timezone selection dropdown in their Settings/Preferences. Here is the author's reponse:
Another user in that forum replied:
I'll experiment with that on my end, have to figure out what to change the "+00:00" to. Perhaps "-05:00" ?
If EliteOCR author won't add Timezone settings to his program, perhaps Cmdr's Log could auto fix the timestamp in the CSV as it's importing.

Be careful what you wish for... ;-)
What?! It's not like I asked for the sound to be played every time you hit "Search" in the trading screen.
Ooooh... HEY! ARCH!
Part of the issue is that the game operates on GMT as per the NASA/ISA agreement and therefor so so does the game time stamp.
Misspelled commodities so far (From EliteOCR's perspective):
Hydrogen Fuels -> Hydrogen Fuel
Consumer Tech -> Consumer Technology
Fruit and Vegetables -> Fruit And Vegetables
HE Suits -> H.E. Suits
Non-lethal Weapons -> Non-Lethal Weapons
Atmosphereic Processors -> Atmospheric Processors
Hydrogen Fuels -> Hydrogen Fuel
Consumer Tech -> Consumer Technology
Fruit and Vegetables -> Fruit And Vegetables
HE Suits -> H.E. Suits
Non-lethal Weapons -> Non-Lethal Weapons
Atmosphereic Processors -> Atmospheric Processors
Feature Request:
The ability to set galactic average prices, and then maybe a custom value or such for the various demand/supplies. Like dunno Low demand +5% medium demand +10% high demand +15% and other way for supply. This would allow a 'low accuracy' of potential profits without having to input everything. (And yes I know about EliteOCR)

It depends how the user exports it. The user needs to clear manually the result table after he exported the previous data. So, it is very possible one CSV will have more stations. I would suggest to support more stations per CSV anyway and do not care about the filename, just the content.

Motion seconded and carried.
Ok, for the timestamp of EliteOCR... do we just want to ignore that and just call it all "New" if you import? Or do we want to attempt to use the time data? I suppose it does depend on how you use it. For the most part if you generate the CSV you'll probably immediately be importing it (within a few minutes or so). The only time where the time from the CSV would matter is if you dumped the file and then waited hours or days before importing it. Thoughts?
Well, personally I'd rather just hit "new". Even if I import 5 stations at once, I don't know that the 45 minutes or so between my getting the prices and putting them in is going to make a huge difference.
