I used to have this problem with a previous version of EliteOCR.
Did you update to the latest EliteOCR 0.5.4.1 ?

Little bug found last night. If on the Trade panel, you use the search for commodity in bottom right corner, if you then click on a location that it has found that commodity at, it attempts to set it as the destination but then TCE crashes. It pops up an error box but leaves the Trade window above it so I had no way of seeing it nor exiting TCE without restarting computer (as Task Manager also appeared under trade panel!)
Suggested Trade Scout Enhancements
Some thoughts on possible enhancements to the Trade Scout Panel:
- Include box to enter ship cargo capacity, then add column to display total round trip profit
- Add system name as well as station name
- Possibly add amount of jumps next to distance, utilising existing code from main Trade Panel navigation section (suspect though that this would grind TCE to a halt as it takes a while for one destination at the moment on main Trade panel, let alone it calculating it for many options)

Found the problem, will be fixed in next version.
If you cant see the error message, press "RETURN" to go into the debugger. Press the square icon under the menubar of the debugger to stop TCE.
I dont want to overload it with not really necessary informations. Profit per ton is the important information. Perhaps i will add it later, if you all requesting it.
Please click on "Preview" to get more informations of the trade route. Otherwise see above.
Thats not practical, because calculating every found route will take to long at the moment. The routine could get an update, to enhance calculation, but this will come at a later date.

Please change the hotkey selection to Hotkey= at the TCE.ini file. Some have problems with the hotkey, i will change it with another approach.

Hey Eventure. I have noticed a couple of things, one of which is very minor so I haven't posted about it before.
In V1.37G
1) When using the trade scout, after clicking to Start Trade Route, it seems that something else stops updating in the background - specifically the current location.
For example, I just started a trade route between my current location and an adjacent system, but when I docked at the destination, two things seemed wrong. First, the "destination" pane hadn't updated, so both Current and Selected Destination were identical. Second, when updating the commodities' prices, I noticed that the Commodities UI still displayed my starting station, not my current location.
2) The labels on the star location interface are getting clipped, so I see "DISTANC" instead of "DISTANCE" (well I did say it was minor...)
Still, great job on this and on keeping it fresh, with such frequent updates. It is a truly awesome tool.

Thanks for feedback.
1) Looking into.
2) You mean the Star System Summary? Its only a first concept. I will rework it with a new and better position information to a later date.
Not much, only some test flights. But it will come back, when TCE runs flawless in general.
hi eventure,
remembered another error from yesterday:
you pointed me to the trade range, which i tested out changing back and forth, worked well. while doing this, tce crashed, and
crashed on startup aswell. don't remember the exact error message('ungültiger datentyp' or something), but i got it working again after deleting the .ini file.
perhaps a typo-kind error with the parameters written into it?
if i get the chance to play this weekend (whole family sick with the flu) i'll investigate further and let you know.

Can replicate it and excel is crashing here too. Will looking for the problem.
Pixel creep
Hi Eventure
Now onto v1.37g and had no problems for last 4/5 hours... until now.
This is a really strange one. All of a sudden without any warning or obvious reason the title in the 'current station' display starts to move downwards every time TCE refreshes.
Exiting and restarting TCE appears to solve the problem but have you any idea what caused it in the first place?
Hold on... pixel creep has started again after about 5 minutes.

Finally back in the game after almost a week of RL interferance.
On V1.37g with the db you fixed for me.
One of the station had comodities entered that did not match what the station was actually buying and offering.
I Sanned the comodities and saved.
That entered the correct prices for the items the sation actually is trading,
but it did not remove the ones that were not supposed to be there
Is that normal behavior ???
No biggie, I fixed it manually in TCE by entering 0 for all comodities that didn't belong.
Only started a few minutes ago but no errors so far !
I will post again later to let you know how it goes.
And Thanks !!!

It could have been an old station from before 1.1 when trading was shaken up. Some of the data in the default database dates back to December.

I think it has to do with the handling of long names.
Every time it runs it would push down the text one pixel.
Code:
Panel_Menu_top.POS_Info.Top = Panel_Menu_top.POS_Info.Top + 1Maybe just set it to a fixed value instead?
No, it was a station I had entered myself, it got mixed in the fix, somehow.
My question was more to know if it is normal that TCE did not remove the irrelevant commodities by itself.
Thinking more about it, my guess is that it's the way it should be, TCE has no way to know what should actually be there or not after all.
Just wanted to confirm it thought.

I like the STAR SYSTEM pop up but it make the game crash because switches the focus from ED to TCE while Jumping.
This is a bug I've had with ED since 1.2 first came out.
It has been reported but it doesn't seem to be a priority for them.
I can disable the pop up but then I can't open this panel manually.
Would it be possible, please, to :
1. Have a way to open this panel manually like all the other ones.
2. Make the pop up happen just a bit later, once we actually have arrived in the system, instead of while we are still in fsd.

You thought right, TCE reads at first the data, that was saved in the past and then reading the OCR data ontop. But commodities, that have vanished from the station didnt got deleted. Thats not the way, it should be processed, but most times, the commodities are the same at a station and didnt vanish.
I will correct this as soon as i have time for it. Its on my to-do list.
I will try my best. If i correctly recall, i am at work atm, when the Star System Summary pop up, it activates ED directly after it appears, but i have to check that.
One question to all:
I plan to reorganize the main panel in some way, that further functions and panels can be easier implented. Here my idea:
- Increasing width of both Position and Destination displays, to fit better extreme long names of stations and stars.
- Moving all buttons to one side (left or right, i didnt know) top down listed with expanding sub-buttons.
How do you feel about this?

I've seen this when you have station names that don't fit the boxes, this happened after a fix went in to reduce the font size. It recovers itself after a few station hops, or sometimes just gets worse.
New bug
Sorry post was doubled up, no idea how that happened. so i deleted this one.
Something is weird with the attachment also, Never done that before !
