Thinking ahead is good, but we get an API (sometimes) to read all those data. The time needed for any other OCR is nearly equal to me. So i enhancing TCE in aspects, that not covered with the data collection.

In 1.39f, I'm getting random freezing again, like reported a while back. Appears random and this time the switching to Task Manager trick doesn't work - only way is to force TCE to close. Therefore no bug report.
Also, on setting new stations, the Rare Commodity drop down only appears to have a 'None' option.

For your freeze, could you try to Quit TCE,
Right click TCE.xlsm and TCE Setup.xlsm
in Properties, select UNBLOCK
then click APPLY and OK
and try TCE again and report back to tell if it helped at all.
Rare is not in use yet, it is there in preparation for the next TCE version with the extended LogBook
What UI you are using? Classic or compact? Freezing you mean TCE stops detecting you in space? The Rare Commodities are not included yet, it is a placeholder for it atm.
@TCE pauses detection, if panels stay open, beside:
- Ship Logbook panel
- Star System Summary panel
Next version update you will have the position detection status at the Options panel. You can also change the intervall ( 5 to 30 seconds) and the possibility to reinitialize the process.

I have to say that since the latest update in both TCE and EliteOCR they are working almost perfectly.
Had a lot of trouble with OCR a few weeks ago, but now it is almost perfect. I didn't do any of the training some have mentioned, just unzipped it, put it in the TCE OCR folder and played the game. Just an occasional missed commodity or incorrect price, but a second scan cures that.
My total scan time is around 1.9 seconds, a lot faster than before.
Have put UAC back to it's recommended settings and have had no problems with it.
A big thank you to Eventure and Seeebek for making Elite much more interesting and playable, and keep up the great work you are both doing.

Did you UNBLOCK TCE.xmsl in properties to achieve that ?
In Excel 2007, what i am using, it is the ALLOW button at security area (not tab).

Not sure if you'd be getting the allow checkbox since you actually made the file !
Unless you re-download it from your website.
as you can see, it says :
This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer.
but since you made it, for you, it is not the case !
Thats correct, i didn't get the button, only on downloaded files.
Will add a note to the FAQ.

Yeah, I have not tested it, but that should work too !!!
Since you do have to copy the xlsm files when you use anything but the installer,
I find it easy to unblock them while I'm at it anyway.
But your way, it would take care of it for the people using the installer
and work for anybody new to TCE who has not bothered to read the FAQ
or as missed that particular piece of information !
And I can't see any problem in using both methods at the same time !!!
The hardest part is getting the batch file to adapt automatically to everybody's different Excel's and TCE's path.
The only drawback that I can see is that it leaves yet another program/window running in the background
that "could potentially" cause some problems with Windows focus.

Don't touch tesseract. I wasted 3 months with it. What I use no (openCV mlp) is much better, easier to train and far more accurate.
I will have a look and see if I can quickly get a ocr for system map done. The advantage there is, that the colors are constant. No HUD customization applies.
If you are still interested to try it yourself have a look at opencv. It is available for any system and has wrappers for many languages.
Folks, I run 8.1 too. Just use the batch file method I posted above.
The .bat can sit in the same dir as the .xlsm and use a relative instead of an absolute path. I'm not certain, but I'm guessing each user would have to create the shortcut and allow it to run as admin. I'm guessing downloaded shortcuts don't keep that option, but we could test it.
Leaving the window in the background is a little ugly, but it's no different than any other background app (like a web browser or TrackIR window) that many people leave running while playing.
I appreciate the advice. One of the tough parts is the transparency of the text window that pops up in the middle when you select a station or such, but I checked the binarized output, and it looked good. I just don't know if there are any systems where a particularly bright object might sit behind that text.
As I said before, you needn't tackle the whole nav-map problem at once. If you're able to provide a command-line utility that merely provides parsing output on coordinate args (preferably with binarized and original pics output somewhere), then I could call that from within a simple AHK script, and we'd have the flexibility to do parsing in creative places (and with the pics, AHK could create a simple error-checking overlay), especially as changes are made to the game.
I'd love to muck through your source and figure it out myself, but I've never seen eye-to-eye with Python for some reason.
I was mistaken. Apparently when a relative path is used, Windows executes that from the location of the shortcut rather than the original .bat file sitting next to the .xlsm. So each user would have to manually copy/paste their TCE directory path into the .bat, which is not a hard thing to do from Windows Explorer anyway. OR the installer could just do it for them =) Maybe someone with more batch talent knows a way to reference the original batch file's directory in lieu of the shortcut's, but I couldn't find any such thing after a quick Google.
