Quiet, you fool! What if someone hears you!?
Good news - that's what's coming next. You can also use the powershell scripts on page... I want to say 15? Though honestly once i got that working it didn't save me that much time.
I won't start using Cmdr Log till the import from the EliteOCR is done... I am using Slopey in the meantime, but like Cmdr Log better as a program.
I've got an Excel file, page 21 of this thread. Just a few copy-paste steps and done.
Workin on it
I have basic importing working via "reading all CSV files in a folder". But there's still work to be done to make it practical. There's no UI yet for importing. Trying to decide how fancy to go with it, because there's clearly a range of things that can be done... like popping up a list of all the stations it finds PRIOR to importing and letting you select individually or "Import All" or "Update All" or "Import Only New Stations" etc etc. All those kinds of details
I do not think it needs to be fancy. I would also say if it has only the "update all" functionality that should be fine and it would create new stations or update existing stations as needed. It is safe to assume you want to update the data. Too much user interaction just make the process slower. An option to delete the imported CSVs automatically would be nice though.

There is the other file type EliteOCR puts out which is called .BPC saved by system.. not sure the difference
This is true, but it puts alittle more burden on the user to keep their CSV folder clean. Suppose you import one; fix a price or two because it messed up. Well, next time you import, your change would get overwritten unless you deleted those CSV files.
I would like to add my vote of thanks to your work.
This enhances Elite and makes trading/exploring very satisfying. All your "discovered" planets and economies can be recorded, along with a diary of the journey and of course the clarification of trading figures is just marvellous.
OCR integration should move this program into the "must have" category!
Nice work, Right on Commander!

True, though personally I always delete a CSV file after I've imported it. It's not like I have to worry about being audited.
Yes, exactly the same here.
Maybe instead of deleting CSV's after inporting/processing, just move them to a "Imported" or similar subfolder, then you can always retrieve if you need to. And they are tiny so 100's of them is insignificant.
Thoughts ?
This seems to me to be a fairly reasonable solution.
I have to say that I only started playing fairly recently and this piece of software is excellent. The only issue I have is the speed of data entry when I get to a new station (or need to refresh one that has older prices) and the OCR import goes a long, long way to fixing that issue.
Very much looking forward to the new version.
I like that idea!! I am already doing it manually
