Hello @CMDR Ibizan, are you still on the road here ?
I used to use TD and TD-Hepler intensively. Yesterday, after a long time, I started to use TD again.
All new "installed" and behold works wonderfully. Just as an info. ;)

Hi Nepomuk,
Yes, still here! I downloaded TD Helper several times which now tells me every time I run it that my TD needs to be updated. Not too much of a problem as it only takes a few seconds so I can live with that. Nothing major wrong with it overall though. Eyeonus still does updates to TD and Tromador is still keeping the server running so we’re still going. Welcome back!

Thank you !
With me TDH does not grumble hmmm ... :unsure:
I am currently using TDH version 3.0.0.2 and TD v10.12.0 . The date of the TDH.exe is from 28.05.2019 .
Briefly about my installation. I have created a directory c:\trade, copied there the files of TD (trade.py ect.)
and TDH (TDHelper.exe ect.) into it. Works wonderfully. :love:

Have fun furthermore with ED and TD and greetings to @Tromador and @eyeonus 👍🙂

You can also use the -Fallback switch if Tromados server has only old data.
I am trying it out right now. No errors so far.

Well, Tromador's server is still not working and I noticed that he has not logged on to Elite Dangerous for the last 6 months so I guess we are on our own now. I used to run the EDDBlink listener on my PC a couple of years ago but got told off by Tromador for using it! Unfortunately, now he has apparently gone, I can't remember or find out how to run it again! Has anyone got a good enough memory to tell what I would need to do?

Hello CMDR Ibizan, sorry, I don't use "EDDBlink listener".
What do you want it to do ? I have clicked "Fallback" as described one post higher. With that it downloaded the current files from eddb.io.
Maybe CMDR @gazelle can help ?

Hi, I've been a long time trader and have only just found this tool. I just wanted to ask, does it still work? Is it worth me learning now to use it?
Many thanks for your replies

A good help is the TD-Helper. Unfortunately not (yet) adapted to Odyssey. But basically usable.
You don't need to enter all the commands by hand. It is worth a try. I hope the tool finds a maintainer again.

Discussion - TD Helper Treeview not working

I'm having a problem getting the treeview to work after running a route search. The search works with no problem but the "T" button stays greyed out. Whenever I can find that I can click on it (usually after importing the CMDR profile) I get the error message below. If I click continue the main...

Hi I appreciate your help. All I have managed to do is get python on my computer and that's about it. I know next to nothing about programming and stuff so am a real press a button and hope for the best kind of person :) I might have managed to get the tradedangerous, but from there I'm basically stuck.
I looked for the TD helper that you suggested but can't find where to get it. I am a bit computer savvy but I think this may be a little out my depth :) Any help gratefully received
Thanks

Ok, I will try to help. Unfortunately, my English is not very good. But let's try.
You can find the file for the TDHelper here:

I have installed TD and TDHelper as follows:
1. Directory "trade" created under c: ( c:\trade )
2. Copied the contents of the directory Trade-Dangerous-XXX.zip into the directory c:\trade. The file trade.py should now be found here ( c:\trade\trade.py ).
3. Also copy the contents of TDHelper into the directory c:\trade. The file TDHelper.exe can then also be found under c:\trade.
4. Starting TDHelper.exe . You will be asked to enter the directory of a LOG file or an XML file (sorry, I don't remember).
Manoeuvre to this directory of the ELITE installation. For me it is here: ... (Installation path of Elite) \ Products \ elite-dangerous-64 \ Logs \

So, give it a try. ;)

... Then there are two or three steps to the setting.

Thank you so much for your reply. You have no need to worry about your English, it's great!

So, I followed your instruction. I now have TDhelper and Tradedangerous in the same directory. c:\trade.
I can open the TD Helper.
When the UI launches it says that there is a new tradedangerous version available, I say yes to upgrade and nothing happens. So I say no.
Looking in settings for cmdr info, I think I have it set, but when clicking the Cmdr Profile button, I get this error "Commander profile data file not found or unreadable." The AppConfig.xml is located here in this location. C:\Users\stewa\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\elite-dangerous-64\Logs
But perhaps this is the wrong one.
I have tried looking at a lot of the guides as to how to get this to work. I've tried some of the command prompt stuff.
I don't think I have been able to download any data (price data I think I mean). I have tried the following:
Code: 
C:\trade>trade.py import --plug=maddavo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\trade\trade.py", line 35, in <module>
    from tradedangerous import cli, gui
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tradedangerous'

Im not too sure what that means, but something is wrong I think :)

I feel that I'm close to getting it to work so any help is great. thank you!! (y)

OK, the "Cmdr Profile" button sometimes gives me problems too. I don't know why. But the path to AppConfig.xml seems to be correct.
I have the same path saved on my end.
5. Try the "Update DB" button with the checkmarks at "Fallback" and "Listings". It takes about 30 seconds for TDHelper to connect, so be patient.
Background why "Fallback": The current server is from user Tromador. But this one is probably not up to date anymore. The fallback server is eddb.io .
This one is up to date. Just tested. Please try this and give me an answer if it worked.
Because of the path to the AppConfig.xml, try to select the path again via the cogwheel button (settings) and click on the file AppConfig.xml
so that it is entered in Win-Explorer, see picture.
