So if we have 20 presets in our overview, it will only pull the 5 that are in use?

Right, but you might "simply" create four shared settings. Each one of them has the same global settings, but different tab presets (profiles).

only second , let's pretend I was the first though!

Oh eeeh... I guess that works but its kind of suboptimal for those of us who use a "Various" tab that relies on loading different setups on the fly.

One question: Colortag/Background order isn't shared, but their (custom) color settings and active state are?

As a side project for overview.

How about a decent overview setup for newbros by default? 5 tabs, colour coded names, appearance tab ordered properly, proper column selection. Either by making this the default overview, or a permanent saved overview.

Looks like they do. At least that's what the yaml file with exported settings suggest.

I tried this in the last mass test and it looks good, except for one issue.

Consider: I load in player#1's settings and they are bad
So I try player#2's settings, and they are also bad.
Might as well restore my settings, so I hit "restore"....and get player#1's settings.
No problem, I'll just use the history....but my original settings are not in the history! Only the settings Ive loaded in!

And now, I'm lost. I have to rebuild my overview from scratch, even though the new system was supposed to make that unnecessary.

Suggestion: If my history is empty, then my current overview settings are automatically saved there as the first entry.

Omg, please stop with the YAML ****. It's the shittiest possible way to store data.

No. XML is. Wordy, irritating, and a resource hog to process.

Any chance of getting a look at the YAML? Pretty please?

Yaml is far worse

Politely not going to believe that. Certainly not for speed of processing.

Polite or not, your belief that XML is more process heavy is actually kind of silly. They are both text files that have to be parsed linearly. XAML is XML with hierarchy and structure, just like YAML, but without the ridiculous nomenclature.

Oh sure, the php kiddies like YAML, but seriously, it has no traction in the real world.

I didn't see the booster timer mentioned in either devblog or the Hyperion Features page. Is it still on the table or has it been pulled?

It is another awesome feature I'm looking forward to.

Still on the table, it's just didn't really belong in the devblog and maybe a bit to small to be mentioned on the feature page

Its a bigger change then the current version of the market tool tips which is on Sisi.

The reason I personally would like this is because oftentimes things I want to see in the overview are different from the things I want to d-scan.

Awesome.

Just wonder a few things:
1. If you have someone blocked (say for example out of the blue - an ISK doubler in Jita) and they start going to town with linking their overview in chat, do I still see it?
2. If someone (say for example, totally random - a chat spammer in Jita) starts linking his overview multiple times in chat - does the server record it only the once or each time the hyped-up person hits that enter button like it was the firing button for a battlecruiser facing the armada?

Thanks

Good point... when we did the d-scan changes not too long ago, we wanted to try out something like that, but the way the overview presets were set up made it very hard and we decided we should rather focus on the actual task at hand. Now when we have done some refactoring, the presets might actually be easier to use there, so maybe we should look into that again

As a guy who lived in wormspace most of his EVE-life I'm waiting for this feature for several years. The simplest example of this would be to remove planets and wrecks from d-scan when doing anomalies in wormspace to reduce clutter and focus on detecting incoming ships and probes. The other "Tower Finder" perset for d-scan may invovle towers, planets and moons only. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEEEASE MAKE THIS, IF POSSIBLE!

Importing only presets from active tabs 100% undermines this feature for me: It desyncs which presets have been updated, leaving me uncertain what presets have everything I want and which don't. This is especially important when CCP adds new items to overview groups.

For example, I want to update my corpies' overviews to show prospects... I post a link with my usual 5 PVP tabs up, but that doesn't include my scout/hunter tab. Now somebody in my corp is scouting, FC asks "yo is your overview updated?" scout says "yes" and misses that prospect fleet without even knowing it.

I will actively avoid overview sharing--and encourage my corpmates to do the same--in order to avoid this problem.

Improved overview export to file is the only thing that helps me, and that's a pretty big disappointment given how hopeful I was for the in game overview sharing feature.

Is it possible to get an option to hide unpiloted ships from your overview/probe scan could help with WH posses if people leave a bunch of ships in their pos and causing issues with Dscan and probing.

Importing only presets from active tabs 100% .

this new overview thing looks like a very bad joke now;
caring? more like "censored" you....

Just a little bit of an update... we are looking into some options to offer a few more presets as an advanced feature.
Total of 15 presets is the number have in mind right now.
Don't forget that presets are actually not deleted when a link is clicked, so clicking a few links can import a lot of presets.

Let's say I try to set up my overview in the current scheme and I want people who are excellent standing to show above criminal because I don't care if someone with excellent standing is criminal or not, I still won't be shooting them.

But I want criminal to show above bad/terrible standing so that in lowsec (for example) I know if I have to take criminal myself to attack them. So this means excellent > criminal > terrible in my colortags settings. But I also want to have people with bad personal standings show above people with good corp/alliance standings (as mentioned above). This is now impossible!

tl;dr: Please add someway to determine the standing that is displayed for colortags based on where the standing comes from instead of just what the standing is on the list in the appearances overview tab.

There needs to be a way to flush a large number of presets, without reverting to 100% default overview settings.
