Hello pilots!
We are working on few new overview-related features, and a first iteration will go live on Singularity in the very near future.
-You can now share your overview settings in-game! Simply open your overview settings, then drag and drop an icon into chat, and press Enter. If another pilot clicks the link, your overview will completely overwrite his/hers. The overview profiles are stored on the server, so these links can even be added to mails, bios, notepads, etc. and used later. Overview profiles are not "owned" by anyone, and once a profile is stored, anyone can access it given that they have the link. Please note that only default or saved tab presets can be shared. -New overview tabs are now created by clicking a little icon to the right of the rightmost tab, similar to how internet browser tabs can be created.
One more thing: since this is a very new feature which includes changes to how we store overview settings on the server, we reserve the right to clean out all the overview profiles on Singularity if needed (we are not expecting this to be necessary right now, but it might happen).
If you have any questions or comments, or if you can find any bug in these features, please feel free to reply to this thread.

I can see this being abused by people sharing the links as other things, and having settings that are totally messed up. Would not wanna be one to click a link that is supposed to be a contract or fleet, only to have it over-ride my overview with setting that will take me time to correct. |

Yea some security needs to be added.
Should be a way to store a "default" setting. So if someone tries to muck yours up, you can restore from default. Yes there are ways around it (sending a evemail to yourself with the default), but people won't do it.
This is cool, but definetly abusable.
Add some security as well as a way of restoring overview, and this will be great.
The easiest way by far to stop abuse would be to prevent these links from being posted in local chat.
Beyond that, a restore function would be great. Yaay!!!! |

We included a warning box that cannot be suppressed, hopefully that will prevent any misunderstandings. |

Also: we will not be removing the old export/import functionality, so players can still store their overview settings that way. |

That is a great step, and even though I do not like modal windows, I see the need for one in this situation. Kudos. RvB Ganked: EVE's Number One Public Roam |

Applying glue.
Sisi is now live with these changes and a few other changes (for example further V3 work from Team TriLamdba), which will be part of the next release. Most of the other changes are still in work and there is no need so far for further feedback threads - they will be added as soon as the features are closer to being finished.

Sounds good. Be sure to dump your current settings to a local backup file before importing anyone else's. Just in case - that way we can just import our old settings if we open a settings file and then go "eugh".
Add a 'revert' button if you're feeling fanciful. |

Please make sure that any default action (pressing Enter) is a negative (No), not a positive. As you may know, people don't read (ex. error messages, confirmation, warnings, wills, power of attorney, EULAs, etc.)

I like the idea of sharing in general ... BUT not in an all or nothing fashion as presented. Make it possible to add fellow presets to your current profile which you can chose from but don't mess up with your current setup. This would ne a nice feature. I'm my own NPC alt. |

Does this mean we can finally have more than 5 overview tabs? If that's the case then you're my new favourite dev.

Some of you want ability to "restore" your overview... remember that you can always create a link to your overview the way you like it, so the best way I see to do this (rather than us implementing some "restore overview" behavior) is to create a link with the overview you are happy with and store it in for example your notepad (or bio if you don't mind other people seeing it, or corp bulletins etc). You could store links to "pvp overview", "mining overview", "overview for noobs", and if you happen to override your overview with something you don't like, clicking one of those links will restore it.

We want to keep this fairly simple, but if you want to do something advanced like that, you can import/export.... will that work for you?

I don't post here much, but this brought me out of lurking...
Hey CCP, you have a perfectly cromulent system for how to share overviews already in game. MAKE IT EXACTLY LIKE THE SHARED FITS system. PRESTO, it's super simple to use, you already know how to code it, and everyone gets the features they wanted from it.
IE: instead of overwriting whatever your current overview is (seriously, this was your idea?), it opens the overview settings window and shows the new overviews' settings. (just like a fit) and then lets you name and save it to your list of overviews (just like fits).
PLEASE!!!!!! |
