This is a very useful program to me, thanks to all who contributed to it.
I am however having a very very strange issue for the past few days.
One of my characters seems to be incompatible with the program.
I usually run 4 accounts, and i still can. unless I log in character A. If character A logs in the display of the preview pane crashes oddly and then the client itself hangs. Only the prievew pane and client of character A are affected, other previews and clients work normally while this is occurring If I am not running eve-o preview the client works 100% correctly.
One thought I've had is that perhaps some data that eve-o stores relating to client positioning is fubarred for this character and causing this. Where does eve-o preview store this and can i wipe it manually and test this?
Another option is that this is a very strange aero bug, although the program worked fine previous to 2 days ago.
Al of this is occurring with the latest build of your program on windows 10. |

I've had that problem too, always Windows 10. What I recommend doing is deleting your XML settings files and only starting EVE O Preview AFTER you've logged in all your characters. I've been trying to pin down what is different, but it's something M$ changed since the November update (aka Win10 SP1), but I have exceptionally limited time to do any development (see post above yours).

Its usually where the EVE-O exe file is located. i Wondered this myself, i usually ran the program from my desktop and it scatered the config files all over it. What i did was to create a folder and put the exe file in it. inmediately after you launch it it will create the files to save your local configs.
hope this helps. |

here you are again spouting nonsense. the uproar is all about the devblog being vague/unclear. so unless CCP clears things up, this is just a silly assumption.

The legitimacy of this software has already been discussed and doesn't need to be again. Assuming the functionality of the software doesn't change, it is allowed in its current state.
but to be 101% sure if any CCP happends to come by could re-confirm the status ..
to dig into the overlays rule ..
Quote: However, if any third party application or other software is used to gain any unfair advantage, or for purposes beyond its intended use, or if the application or other software violates other parts of the EULA, we may fully enforce our rights to prohibit such use, including player bans.
We do consider overlays using elements of a second or multiple other EVE clients to be against the rules. It changes the way the game is played and grants the player unfair advantages over other players. For example, having overviews from other EVE clients as overlays on one EVE client would allow a player to get real time intel from all those other game instances without having to switch to the other windows. Similarly, overlays using elements from a second or multiple other EVE clients to allow the player to activate modules etc. on those other game instances without switching to the other client windows are clearly in violation of our rules.
i read fom it u cant use a overlay to gain an advantage from multiple clients .. however eve-o more like uses thumbnails of the full clients so u can see and switch between em .. hek the new launcher has a option to switch between active clients .. and thumbnails .. try useing win+tab keys .. similar things ull see there .. if eve-o is illegal the win+tab key should be banned too :))

Nat Silverguard wrote:here you are again spouting nonsense. the uproar is all about the devblog being vague/unclear. so unless CCP clears things up, this is just a silly assumption. But it's not really, is it. One thing they are clear about is that the ability to see inactive client windows is disallowed as show by them saying: "For example, having overviews from other EVE clients as overlays on one EVE client would allow a player to get real time intel from all those other game instances without having to switch to the other windows."
EVE-O preview specifically allows you to see inactive windows, that's what it does that makes it great. When they get to the final part they then state: "Please be aware of the fact that we do a lot of data analysis which grants us insight into behavior patterns and allows us to detect anomalies. In a lot of cases we do not need to know what you do on the client side because looking at the behavior in our very detailed event logs on the server side allows us to see if you have/had an unfair advantage over anybody else including the game environment. We donGÇÖt know all the tools out there and what they do exactly - and frankly we donGÇÖt care. If you get banned, then this is because the results of what you did and how you potentially gained from it manifested in our server-side logs."
So taken together this states that they find the ability to look at the overviews of inactive windows to be an unfair advantage, and they can't see and indeed don't care what the client actually looks like, they work from the server logs. As eve-o preview gives the same ability and obviously grants an advantage (otherwise why would we use it?) then there's absolutely no way I can see that it wouldn't be a bannable offense to use it.

THAT's whats bannable. L2READ and understand. How is that functionally different from having the saw windows tiled with the same infromation shows using eve-o preview, and more importantly how would CCP tell the difference without seeing your screen? In fact, take for example this EVE-O preview setup, how is that not going to give the same advantages? When in space you can clearly see the modules cycling and the cargo filling so you don't have to swap to each window to monitor the status of all 16 windows, you just click the preview when the given client needs attention.

if u can read past first lines then i did note if a ccp came along to confirm the status of eve-o or trashs it ...
on a short story .. useing Win+tab gives u pretty much the same outcome as eve-o .. will it get banned too ? .. and setting up multiple clients across the screen wizely u can see the modules statuses and whatnots .. the advantage allready starts by useing multiple accounts .. eve-o can be used by everyone so is it really an advantage ?

I understand what you are saying, I'm simply saying don't rely on one EVE dev posting like a year ago as proof that eve-o preview is exempt from the rules.
Jaantrag wrote:on a short story .. useing Win+tab gives u pretty much the same outcome as eve-o No it doesn't, since it pulls the focus off of the active client into the DWM. Eve-o preview allows you to be interacting with one eve client while looking at the inactive clients without having to switch to them. You can then respond to an inactive client the moment you see something happening. With wit+tab you need to press that to look at them, you can't just see the previews by default.
Jaantrag wrote:eve-o can be used by everyone so is it really an advantage ? It's an advantage against those who don't use it. The fact that it's free doesn't matter. You couldn't make a free bot and say "everyone can use it so it's fair".

I've probably done a fairly noob mistake here. I edited the XML files and it stopped running. Deleting the XML files makes it run again but it doesn't seem to use the XML files anymore!
A) Apart from XML files in its own folder where else could it be storing settings that I need to nuke? B) What do I need to avoid when editing the XML to leave them valid? I introduced nothing that wasn't already present on another character's settings. C) Is there a way to move the preview windows if I remove the borders? this is the main thing I'm likely to be trying to jiggle numbers in the XML file for.
Reproduction steps: I fired it up and arranged one character for each of my accounts. So far, so good.
I then edited the layout xml files with the plan of duplicating characters within the same account rather than set them up manually.
I shuffled the order of the characters in the client_layout and flat_layout files, also tidied up some pixel differences by copy/pasting the height/width data and the y location of the preview file. This was done with the basic Win10 notepad.
Saved it, fired up eve-o preview and waited. Tried again. No preview, nothing in task manager. Tried running it as admin, no success.
Deleted the xml files, fired up eve-o and it worked so something I changed in the XML files borked it. As an added bonus deleting the XML files hasn't resulted in it recreating them, it seems to partially remember some of the settings for the program itself though.
Deleting the exe and copying a fresh version from the downloaded archive dosen't fix things either. Searching registry for eve-o didn't yield any saved settings apart from a crash report debug and two compatibility settings. I nuked the compatibility bits. |

A) it only stores files in those XML files in its own folder.
B) editting the XML files within the bounds of reason shouldn't cause any problems
C) currently, no.
Personally, don't use notepad. It screws with the end of line characters. I'd use notepad++ or wordpad. That might be the problem you're having. Perhaps try running as admin?
Whatever windows 10 did, it royally messed with EVEO Preview. Unfortunately, I have little time to do extracurriculars with how work is at the moment. Hell, I rarely touch EVE these days much do my dismay. At some point I'm going to finish my rewrite of EVE O Preview, but I have no ETA. The last time I touched the code was October.

Does it not still store the xml in a random appdata folder sometimes? I know it used to have an issue where sometimes it would create a random apddata folder with a bunch of xml files and you had to change the location of the exe file itself to get it to use local xml files again, so failing other things, try copying the exe file and the xml files you've got for it to a new folder and running it from there. I think it's something that happens when you're using some of environment path variables in .NET, or possibly if you're not specifying a root path and just aiming for a file directly.

User/Appdata/Local did indeed have an _ folder with subfolders that were all eve-o preview related. user.cfg was the only file in there. Nuking that hasn't restored XML file creation but did seem to help re-default things.
Renaming the executable redefaults things. Renaming the folder redefaults things.
Neither restores XML files going in to the same folder as the executable.
If it really has put them somewhere random then surely it needs to find them somehow? If I try and use windows search for recently modified XML files Cortana pops up wanting more permissions. It sounds like it may be time to go find a third party search/file indexing tool.

Copy paste each of them into a site like this one, which will validate the XML and make sure It's not badly formatted. It might be that it's failing to load them and giving up.

I wiped the ones I edited and a search for files modified today didn't turn up any relevant .xml files on the hard disk. The Eve-o preview folder literally only contains the EXE currently. I did try putting in some data-less XML files too that just had the header and no characters, no joy. |

So cool program, but one major issue on Windows 10 (also had it on Windows 7 but it only happened occasionally): When you minimize clients as you normally would in Windows and then open reopen them clicking the preview windows rather than their actual instances on the taskbar, the window is resized to some asinine default size upon reappearing and that I can't figure out. Doesn't seem to be a value for it in the XML doc unless I'm misunderstanding the fields. Any help? |

It has to have some tie-in to the initial size of the application window because those are the dimensions it's reverting back to. |
