Same problem here, running windows 7, tried the 2 different database locations, neither of them works :(
Too bad. Looked like a great program.
Edit: are there any ppl here that managed to get it running on Win7 at all btw?

Edited by: Commander Disarray on 09/08/2011 02:14:42 Possibly stupid question, but I'm trying to figure out what two columns represent in the wallet transactions window. I'm looking at the Price and Total columns.
Say I have a Cap Recharger II that shows like this under their respective columns:
Price -473,088.15
Total -477,109.40
Now, does this mean that my buy order was -473,088.15, and the total that I paid for it, which includes tax, broker fees, and change orders was -477,109.40 ???? Is that what it means?
Let's say I have a sell order that shows like this:
Price 542,984.95
Total 534,568.68
I think that may mean that I sold the item for the amount listed under price, but my total cost is the amount that's listed under Total?
That's confusing because I don't think my margin was THAT bad...

Yes, but without fees for changing orders. There's currently no way of linking those to a specific transaction.

Right again.

Keep two things in mind:
1) make sure you have set the skill levels for Broker Relation etc. right for that character (see Extras -> Options)
2) EWA estimates fees & taxes. While EWA gets the bare percentages right for the skills involved, it doesn't take your standing towards the NPC corp at the station where the transaction took place into account. It therefore assumes a standing of 0. You're real margin is most likely better than the one calculated by EWA. -- EVEWalletAware - an offline wallet manager |

That was my guess. Is there any way to add in a feature that will allow you to input your tax and broker rates? I'm guessing that would be kind of a huge undertaking because one would have to enter it in for every station he/she buys/sells at. Plus on your end too.
Ok assuming you can't do that, I guess this will involve some math, and another app called EVE Mentat. My goal is to figure out net profits and I'm having a hell of a time doing that.
I can't use the app right now, but is there a way to have the Total column just report what the Buy price was (without fees/taxes) for items for a given period of time? Like for a Cap Recharger II, I'd just like it to say that the Price was 520,000 and the Total without fees and taxes was 500,000. I think if it can do that, then I can get a gross profit for each item during a given period of time. EVE Mentat does not do that for each item; it is not able to calculate a sold item's buy price.
I can, however, use EVE Mentat to sum up all of my change orders, taxes, and fees for that same period of time and deduct that from my gross sales which I derive from WalletAware.
Does that sound right? Could I potentially come up with an accurate net profit number with that process? I guess it would depend on WalletAware's ability to be able to exclude fees/taxes out of the Total column and just have the item's buy price. If it doesn't do that already, would it be a great hassle to add that in?

Yes. Disable broker fees and sales tax estimation in the options (Extras -> Options -> tab "Wallet / Assets") and in the wallet transaction window set the filter "Transaction Type" to "Buy" and "Item" to "Cap Recharger II".

You can do the same filtering in the wallet journal window. There's also the two Balance sheets.
I admit the EWA menawhile is a "beast" in the sense that there are a couple of ways to skin the cat. You just need to find out which way is the best for you. -- EVEWalletAware - an offline wallet manager |

Just one slight issue, the Wallet Journal isn't opening for me. I tried it last night and nothing happens. I think it was mentioned here before, not too many posts ago, and you had said there's an issue with it. I may have missed an update, or is it still experiencing issues?

The issue still persists. Sometimes the (wallet journal) API returns results, sometimes an error. Just try downloading it again. It often doesn't work for the first try for me, querying it a second time works. But that might just be coincidence ... -- EVEWalletAware - an offline wallet manager |

Ok, I'm trying what you suggested above.
I went and disabled tax and fee estimation. What this did is it makes the Total column match the Price column. My guess is that the estimates (when activated in Options) reduce the Total column based on the skill levels you input, to kind of give you a rough net profit if you subtract Total from Price.
What I was looking for is a way to link each item sold to its own buy price, side-by-side. Disabling the tax/fee estimates doesn't do this. I was hoping that by disabling them, all I would be left with is the price at which the item was bought to appear in the Total column, next to the price it was sold, in the Price column.
This way I can subtract the price at which an item was bought, from the price that it was sold, to get a gross profit.
Changing the transaction type filter to Buy displays all the items that were bought, but still shows identical figures in Price/Total columns.
Do you see where I'm going? I think the core issue here is how do you link an items buy price to its sell price. That's the only true way you can derive net from, that I know of...

Why guess? I linked the relevant manual part where this is explained.

Yeah, I see where you're going: you haven't read this thread as this has been asked and explained numerous times: there is currently no way of proper linking a) transactions vs. journal entries (transactions + fess/taxes) and b) identifying unique items so that you could link the purchase (price) of an item to it's sale (price).
A couple of the trader apps do some guesswork there, working with a FIFO approach, and try to link buy vs. sale. But for my taste that's too vague. -- EVEWalletAware - an offline wallet manager |

Originally by: Hel O'Ween There seem to be some issued with the wallet journal API lately. Over in the Tech Lab, a few player mentioned that they can't retrieve journal data correctly. I also had a case these days were instead of getting journal data, an error was returned by the API, with error number 0 (doesn't exist according to the docs ...) and some error message along the lines of me harassing Scotty ...

edit: so the forums censor **** but its ok in the API?
Yepp, that's the one I mentioned above. Another try a day later downloaded the journal just fine for me.
And please note the <error code="0">. Compare that the the error list that the API is supposed to report: http://wiki.eve-id.net/APIv2_Eve_ErrorList_XML.
Good news: CCP finally found out what the problem was. Bad news: it won't be fixed until end of August. It seems they roll it out with the customizable API key(s) (meanwhile coined "CAK" by the 3rd party dev community) change.

Well, actually I installed it on a W7 64bit machine and all I had to do was the following: 1. right-click the EveWalletAware icon and pick the 'properties' option. This will show the properties dialog. 2. click the 'compatibility' tab. 3. tick the 'execute this program in compatibility mode for:' checkbox (the default is WinXP SP3, which is what you want) 4. click 'ok' to close the properties dialog. 5. start up EWA as you would any other application and enjoy!

I have EWA crashing on me several times with an error like 'cannot resize or move form if the application is minimized or maximized'. I was running EWA maximized at those times. If the correct error message seems to be produced, I guess some error handling can be added to prevent the application crashing because of it, no? --- I'm not as bad-ass as some of my corp mates, but I'll pwn you anyway!

excellent app - i have 1 question i hope you can help me with
i would like for my corp members to be able to easily calculate their own corp tax contributions.
ewa does that if you have access to corp wallet (jr accountant). then you can see everybodys corp tax contribution.
but there is no way to get your own tax contribution if you only look at your own wallet as far a i can tell.
any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated

Even better than that: I shouldn't try moving things around when min/maxed ... but if I only knew what moves.
I know I had a couple of those errors in the early days, but thought that I since have got rid of those. Have you EWA set up to minimize to the system tray?

Yes, that's because the personal API doesn't give those numbers away. However, with a bit of estimation, that should be roughly reproducable: save the output of the (personal) journal balance sheet to Excel format (or pull your personal wallet journal data into the spreadsheet of your choice) and apply the corp's tax rate to Agent Mission Reward, Agent Mission Time Reward, Bount Prices. Substract your best guess of non-taxable amounts (< 200k ISK, but I'm not sure about that) from it and you're done. -- EVEWalletAware - an offline wallet manager |

Most likely. Read the above messages and look at your cached XML files. If the wallet journal file has that infamous "Scotty is angry" in it, it's due to that problem. -- EVEWalletAware - an offline wallet manager |

EWA version 2.0.26, EWAAutoData 1.0.20, DB 24 (Incarna 1.1) have been released.
This update implements the new Customisable API Key ("CAK") system. Please note that the old API key system will still work for the time being. However, if you decide to download and use this EWA version, you need to go to https://support.eveonline.com/api and create a new API key.
As always, see the version history for details.
This is also the last release of EWA.
I won't develop EWA anymore. The $99 dev license/Incarna/MT thing has completely destroyed my joy for this game and company. Since Incarna has been released, I've only logged in to change skills. And I don't even miss the game. My initial plan after $99 dev license/Incarna was to stop development right away, but the new API key system made me rethink my decision. It would have left you with a broken tool too soon. As CCP's shortcomings are not your fault, I decided to issue a last release of EWA which hopefully gives you enough time to find a new trading tool to which you can migrate.
My sbscription runs out in December and I will try to fix bugs related to the new API key system in that time. After that ... well, time will tell. I'm not saying I'll never come back, EVE - the concept - is still unique and appealing. It's just that the actual implemetation of this idea in the last years leaves a lot to be desired. At least to me.

It'll be a shame to see a cornerstone of the "what the hell is my wallet doing" app niche retire, but I can understand and respect your decision. Thank you for the time and energy that's gone into EWA versions past and present.

Well, generally sad to hear. The part of EWA I still like most is the fact one has a course idea how much ISK the assests are worth. not only the estimation of the assets worth is a big advantage of EWA, it also sums up the the items.
Hel O'Ween, many thanks for that great tool. Please me one kwestion: For a single player setup (i. e. for me) do I really need to enter the verification code and keyID for my corp or is that part not required?
Kindest regards,
