i'd like to be able to somehow keep my scan results. i'd be fine with a right-click menu option allowing me to simply "copy text", but i'll post my full-fledged wishlist on that topic anyways.
i'd love three new buttons on the ship/cargo/survey scanner result pane. "to clipboard", "to file" and "options". this is what they'd do:
"to clipboard" copy the selected items from the scan result as text lines to the clipboard. if no items were selected, copy all.
"to file" write the selected items from the scan result as text lines into a file named <EVE>/capture/Scans/[S|C|O]-targetname-systemname-timestamp.txt. the "S/C/O" header identifying the scan type as Ship, Cargo or Ore, the "targetname" being the character piloting the ship targeted or the nearest celestial item in case of an ore scan, "systemname" being the star system and the timestamp being the same as currently used for screenshots.
again, if no items were selected, export all.
filename examples: S-Iog_Krugar-Jita-2006.07.19.08.08.50.txt (whitspace and such to "_") C-Iog_Krugar-Jita-2006.07.19.08.08.50.txt O-IV_3-Jita-2006.07.19.08.08.50.txt (IV being the planet and 3 the belt)
"options" opens a dialog where you can set default options for the exports, removing the need for an export options dialog popping up every time (which would be really annoying).
useful choices include "type info" and "item info" links, either for pasting into ingame chat or as plaintext for pasting to external targets. optional inclusion of a header and footer would be nice as well, header could include scan type, target name, ship type, ship name, self name, location and time, footer could be something like "scan returned x objects".
example cargo scan result file:
Quote: Scan Type: Cargo Target: Iog Krugar ( showinfo:xxxxxxxxx ) Corp: The Rising Stars ( showinfo:xxxxxxxxx ) Alliance: -none- Ship Type: Gallente Shuttle ( showinfo:xxxxxxxxx ) Ship Name: Transition X Nearest: Station XY ( showinfo:xxxxxxxxx ) System: XY ( showinfo:xxxxxxxxx ) Constellation: XY ( showinfo:xxxxxxxxx ) Region: XY ( showinfo:xxxxxxxxx )
Scan results: 1 Serpentis Copper Tag ( showinfo:xxxx//xxxxxxxxx ) 100 Antimatter Charge S ( showinfo:xxxx//xxxxxxxxx )
Scan completed, 2 Items identified.
thats about it. i know "show item info" has its downsides compared to "show type info" (dead link when the item is destroyed, etc), but since the type info is part of the item info, i'd like to have that option to use multiple (usually incomplete) ship scans of the same target and sort out the duplicate hits by item identifiers, eventually resulting in a complete scan.
thats about it. i think prospectors and sp... scouts across the universe would be very appreciative of these features.
ps: also please make the scan result pane remember its last location as a default. currently it seems to only do this for a certain item type, like cargo containers. so everytime you scan a can, the pane will show up at the same position as used for the last can-scan, but when you go and scan a ship, it will appear in the center of the screen and most possibly be in the way.
