Welcome to the EVE-O Preview thread. StinkRay, the original creator of EVE-O Preview, plays EVE in phases. Makari Aeron, the previous lead developer of the project, did temporarily leave EVE. So I'll be taking over the forum thread. The original threads can be found here and here.
Created to aid playing with multiple clients in CCP game EVE-Online.
It's essentially a task switcher, it does not relay any keyboard/mouse events and suchlike. The program works with EVE, EVE through Steam, or any combination thereof.
The program does NOT (and will NOT ever) do the following things:
- modify EVE Online interface
- display modified EVE Online interface
- broadcast any keyboard or mouse events
- anyhow interact with EVE Online except of bringing its main window to foreground or resizing it
System Requirements
- Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10
- Windows Aero Enabled
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5+ (it is already included in Windows 8+. For older systems the installer can be downloaded here)
How To Install & Use
Download page
Direct download (version 2.0.0)
Code Repository
- Download and extract the contents of the .zip archive to a location of your choice (ie: Desktop, CCP folder, etc). Please do not install the program into the Program Files or Program files (x86) folders. These folders in general do not allow applications to write anything there while EVE-O Preview now stores its configuration file next to its executable, thus requiring the write access to the folder it is installed into.
- Start up both EVE-O Preview and your EVE Clients (the order does not matter)
- Adjust settings as you see fit. Program options are described here
***
This program is legal under the EULA/ToS:

Overlays which contain a full, unchanged, EVE Client instance in a view only mode, no matter how large or small they are scaled, like it is done by EVE-O Preview as of today, are fine with us. These overlays do not allow any direct interaction with the EVE Client and you have to bring the respective EVE Client to the front/put the window focus on it, in order to interact with it.

This one or the previous one? 2.0 shoul use CPU more sparingly. Also now there is an option that allows to adjust the thumbnail list refresh rate (the most CPU-eating action actually): ThumbnailRefreshPeriod entry in the config file. By default it is set to 500 which means that processes list is scanned each 500 milliseconds (or 0.5 second).
Right now I am running 2 clients and EVE-O with CPU consumption 12% and 4% for EVE clients and 0% for EVE-O

1. Every time I close and restart the application, it changes the thumbmail size.
Example: I set it to 320x210 which is the size I want. Then I close and restart the client and it changes the setting to 304x171. I close it and when I start it again, it sets itself to 288x132.
2. I can't enter numbers into the size fields. I have to use up and down arrows to increase and decrease by 10.
1. That's interesting. Could you drop me a mail with your config file? It is the EVE-O Preview.json file next to the .exe. It is just a plain text file and should pass vie eve mail. Before sending it please edit out your alt's names from the config file 
That would greatly help me to pin it down and fix.
2. Will look at it (probably tomorrow). I would say that you can edit the config file directly to set the size you want, but given (1) it won't help anyway. |

Very often whenever I start a new client or the tool (while 2 clients are running), the client im starting or sometimes even both clients would freeze, kind of. I cannot switch back to the client in question at all. The thumbnail is frozen, completely white or showing only a portion of the screen, while the rest is white. The whole window (I play in fixed window) doesnt appear at all, but seems to accept commands.
I didnt find a similar issue on Github and im not sure what might be causing it. Any ideas? This puts my ships in great risk as I have to close the client, sometimes in combat. Effectively makes the use of the tool impossible for me :(
Regards!
Hello
Do you use 2.0.0 or one of earlier versions? If you use 2.0 then could you do the following when this happens:
Next to the .exe file there is a configuration .JSON file. Please send it to me vie eve-mail. To protect your privacy please vefore sending replace the name(s) of your alt(s) in the message with something like 'EVE - Alt 1' 'EVE - Alt 2' etc
Also please send me the Windows version you use
TIA
PS That said, there is a possible cause. When you minimize add EVE windows via hotkey and then jump to it via Alt-TAB its thumbnail sometimes becomes broken. Still atm I am not sure what could cause the rest, as EVE-O Preview doesn't interact with EVE clients at all (except for one thing written by CCP FoxFour) |

Hello
This will work in the next version to be released today.
It can be adjusted as you see fit. Close the program and open its configuration file EVE-O Preview.json with any text editor. There are lines like
> "ThumbnailMaximumSize": "640, 400",
> "ThumbnailMinimumSize": "100, 80",
Set the max size and start the EVE-O Preview. |

Read 3 or 4 posts up a recipe for maximum thumbnail size. There is a similar setting for minimum thumbnail size as well. It is configurable via the .JSON file
Anduin Spartan wrote:-I have to place all my preview windows in place every time I use.
Before or after you log chars on these EVE clients?
Wjen EVE client sits on the char selection screen there is NO way to tell its account name, so default preview position is used. This will be the case until (if) some kind of preview windows docking will be implemented |

p.s.: thx for taking over the project.
If you mean that previews are stacked AFTER you started the clients but BEFORE you actually login chars in these clients - then this is completely expected (at least atm). All EVE clients at this moment have the same client title and it is not possible to distinguish them. I am thinking about some auto-arrangement for previews? but there's no such feature right now.
After you login chars previews should go to their places. If I misunderstood you then could you make a screenshot of this? |

Was just wondering if it's possible to resize previews independently? (I believe the option was "Synchronise Resizing" in the old version. I have monitors of different aspect ratios, and this means some previews have white bars to accommodate.
Sorry, it is not available atm.
Still it is technically possible to save positions AND sizes of each preview independently. I'll log an issue re this. |

What is your monitor configuration? Mean, thumbnail positions are NEGATIVE - this could cause most of the issues.

1. The Overlay is not persistent. When it is on, it disappears from each thumbnail the first time I select it, and never comes back.
2. The resizing of thumbnails only works in increments of 10 pixels. That means, if I do not want a white border on one of the edges, I can only choose 160 x 90 size for the thumbnails.
(2) will be gixed in the upcoming update
(1) - I need to reproduce it to fix. so

edit: its fine! I deleted the .json file and restarted it. Had to do the layout but otherwise it is fine
Probably you accidentaly enabled the 1st option (Minimize to system tray)
If it is enabled then the program starts minimized and not visible in Alt-TAB or Taskbar. There is an icon in the Windows Taskbar - it provides a context menu or one can just dbl-click it to show the main program window |

Yep. Actuallyafter he switched the previews were still displayed. Issue is that they were displayed BEHIND the EVE window (i.e. they weren't visible).
I'll try to somewhat update the docs page for this option, to make sure ppl know about this side effect. |

The only issues I had was the windows weren't large enough to lay out 4 clients in a grid on my second monitor. But I quickly fixed that in the config file along with tweaking the exact placements. The only bug I have found is when I start up the clients I have to open the Preview UI and click the up arrow on the size (either one doesn't matter) to make the windows fill in correctly. After that all is well until I restart the program.
You mean you had to tweka the MaxSize limitation? I guess I need to liften it up to a quarter of FullHD size.
Re that isse:
Do you mean that previews are stretched into a upper-left corner of each window? This can happen when one minimizes clients (via Win+D or other key combination) and then restores client window back. This looks like a DWI (that's the Windows subsystem used to create these windows) bug. Workaround is just to click on each preview window to bring its EVE client up. This will recreate the thumbnail picture and will resolve the issue. |

Hello all 
Status update: I plan to roll out a minor release soon (will do my best to do it this weekend actually). Bugfixes + some minor features
Ox Fast wrote:Been wondering about this too! Saw on the front page that you can configure a hotkey or click. Clicking is getting old now :p Edit - got this to work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJmorUbYXQU but instead of Winactivate you need to use WinActivateBottom
EOP can do this too + it will actually show you what's going on on different account (or not if you'll decide to hide the preview window). I'll update the doc page, prolly today. Notification + text itself will be posted in this thread.
Soltys wrote:
Question: is it possible to disable zoom sync ? Like in older (1.18.3) version, where each thumbnail had its own size.
These sizes weren't saved anyway. If you'll describe why do you need this I'll add this feature to the releases plan (yes, I have one)
Par'Gellen wrote:
Actually here is a screenshot that explains what is happening when it starts up, along with my preview settings. It almost looks like it is trying to compensate for the taskbar when the thumbnails are created. Clicking the up arrow on either of the size adjustments instantly fixes it. Let me know if this makes sense.
Thanks. This looks like a bug and I'll investigate it deeper.

This will happen together with release. There is a slim possibility thet enabling the hotkey could crash the app. While it is unlikely, I am pretty sure this will happen for someone. A fix is required before I'll describe how to do this. |

Grookshank wrote:Idk if that is in the scope of this software, but I would really like to be able to do the following:
I run eve clients in fixed window. That means when I switch between them, they are all up on the screen, just one at the top. That seems to cause them all to be redered fully, using up GPU ressources. I would be fantastic if switching to one would minimize the others, so they are not fully rendered. I can simulate that by minimizing all clients and then manually maximizing one again. I can then see 1 client, all others in eve-o-preview windows, with only the one on top beeing fully rendered. This uses up way less ressources. Once I switch to another client with eve-o-prewiew though, the one I had maximised before stays maximised in the background.
So I would like to have a feature that:
a) switches eve clients like now
b) at the same time minimizes the other clients, so only the one client and the previews of the other clients need to be rendered.
Should be possible, no?
Yes, with some ajustment - not all other client. It would be enough to send th Minimize command only to the window you're leaving. And for sure this will be an option, disabled by default.
Btw thanks for logging this on github |

I'm thinking it has something to do with firewall exceptions maybe?
My current work around: Launch all clients and then open EVE-O Preview.
To start with, EOP doesn't send anything to/recieve anything from Internet, so it is not anuhow affected by firewall. After all, this little app has access to a very sensitive info (yep, for some ppl like spies, hotdroppers etc names of their alts is a VERY sensitive info)
The thing you see is caused by the fact that all EVE login windows have the same window title regardless of the account used. So EOP cannot guess(*) where to place the preview window and leawes them all on the default place.
You should be able to move them either by dragging them using the right mouse button.
The blur you see is most probably caused by one of the account windows being slightly different from others. F.e. only one of my account login windows has the notification line on the top saying 'XX days left'
---
(*) Even if it is possible to find out the account info by somehow interacting with the EVE client process, I won't do that, for obvious reasons. |

Since the most recent Windows Update, it causes all the launched clients to begin in the same spot with blurred views. It also completely removes the ability to click on said mini-windows and open client. Alt-tabbing to the clients are broken as well.
Well, the last major Win10 update killed my system and I had to entirely reinstall everything (a fun thing to do when installing some stuff takes a rally long time and the deadline is just a several days ahead).
Still disabled Alt+TAB should be something not related to EOP.
Quote:
tl;dr - I'm bad or Window Update probably broke something with video cards and prevents EVE-O Preview from running normally.
Try to reinstall the GPU drivers. Reinstalling EOP won't help as it is a self-contained .exe file that doesn't write anything anywhere excpept for its config file. Except of reinstalling you might try to just remove the configuration file and restart the app.
EDIT:
Not sure but this might be caused by a lack of video card's memory. Launching that much clients already stresses it hard enough and when EOP comes and tells Windows 'Hey, I want to mirror these windows' it might cause some issues with the drivers and the wideo manager (thus the blur). You can easily check this by setting all graphic settings to lowest and restarting all clients. |

I tried isboxer and I can run all clients at 60fps without any issues.
Could you make a screenshot of 'a lot of jank' and drop it to the in-game mail, along with the Windows varsion and GPU you use?
I think ISBoxer uses different technology to manage preview windows so that's the difference |

Initially I set the restrictions to be like 640 x 400 px to make sure no one tries to make the preview windows as large as their screen (not sure how this would it the performance). Luckily ;-) HighDPI monitors are still rare these days. However I'll uplift the default restrictions to somewhat like 1280 x 800 so they will be still usable by default on HighDPI but won't hurt that much performance of good old FullHD.
Also may I ask you: does the main (and only) EOP opions dialog scale properly on HighDPI screen?
thebarry wrote:a customizable background color for when the preview window creates a border bar inside the preview window, eg if I could change it to black it would match my desktop background and then blend in even with the wonky resolutions I use.
Could you describe this more detailed (preferably with a picture)?

PS. If you have two or more clients that you never use at the same time you can apply the same hotkey to all of them and it works as you would hope: whichever window is open comes to foreground and there are no errors etc from the others not existing at that time.
It is even possible to have both these clients with the same hotkey running at the same time. Still the hotkey will be applied to one and only one of them, ie it won't be possible to cycle between the clients. Also the key pressed won't be passed to the EVE client. |

Hello
Just in case - do you have the 'Previews always on top' option enabled? If not this might cause the similar looking behavior when previews fail behind other windows and aren't vsible. |

It's alive and evolving. There's a couple of major features to be published in Q1 2017 (once I settle up some RL stuff/issues)
Repo is https://github.com/Phrynohyas/eve-o-preview |

I would stronly recomment to avoid setting hotkeys to alphanumeric keys w/o modifiers. Otherwise these hotkeys will conflict with chat windows ets.
IOW you cannot do
"EVE - Character One": "1",
but you can do (just double-checked that it works ;-) )
"EVE - Character One": "Alt+1",
"EVE - Character One": "Control+1",
"EVE - Character One": "Shift+1",

Hello
That's weird. Could you send me your config file (see the starting post to find out how to do this)? If I'll manage to reproduce tihs locally I'll be able to fix it.
Thanks in advance |

Bragging time!
EVE-O Preview 2.2.0 total downloads count jumped over 1k this week.
I started a new active development phase. A lot of new features are plaaned and there's a very cool conribution from Ligraph waiting to be merged into the tool.
Share your stories how EVE-O Preview helps you in your everyday EVE life (via eve-mail). The most entertaining ones will be added to the 'Testimonials' section of documentaion (with or without your nicknames - I'll ask you to approve the text before publishing it)
PS ISK donations are highly welcome. I soo want these new Garmur/Orthus and Serpentis SKINs  |

Is there anyway to add a second character with the keybing "Shift+1" in the event I'm on another character on that account and not actually on R-0-B-0-C-O-P?
You can assign the same keybinding to several chars at once. Just bear in mind that if you'll login them all at once it won't be possible to predict which one of them will be the one that will be activated with this keybinding.
Such config will be entirely valid:
"ClientHotkey": {
"EVE - R-0-B-0-C-O-P": "Shift+1",
"EVE - Other Account X Character": "Shift+1",
"EVE - Account Y Character": "Shift+2",
"EVE - Account Z Character": "Shift+3"
}
---
Some technical details re how it works:
When a char is logged it EOP creates a preview window for it. Then it looks the hotkey bindings and if there is one it tries to assign this keyinding to the preview window (NOT to the actual EVE Online client. Sending keystrokes directly to EVE client would be.. not wise ).
When a player presses one of the keybinings and there is a preview window listening for this keybinding then EOP acts like one have clicked that preview window (ie activates the corresponding EVE client). Then that particular keypress is swallowed by EOP (so it won't be possible f.e. to press F1 and simultaneously switch to the DPS char and activate its guns).

Stalex BigNoise wrote:Is any chance we can have preview windows bigger than 640x400? On my 40' screen (3840 x 2160) , thumbnails 640x400 is just barely visible :-(
Sure. Close EOP. Open the "EVE-O Preview.json" file with Notepad (it is located next to the .exe file)
Then find there line
"ThumbnailMaximumSize": "640, 400",
This is the max size restriction. Change it to, say,
"ThumbnailMaximumSize": "1920, 1080",
and start EOP again.

EDIT: Okay so it seems that for some reason the thumbnails now go behind the client windows once they are selected, so it works fine as long as I don't have them overlapping with any of my clients. Still it wasn't like this before and I have no idea how to fix it cause I'd rather not have to resize my client windows to make this work again.
EDIT 2: Okay so all of the sudden it's back to normal, I made it run as admin always just to be safe but it appears to be associated with having previews hide when EVE isn't active and frames not showing enabled. If I ever turn off frames is makes the previews go behind the client assuming I have Hide Previews when EVE isn't active enabled. Not sure if that helps but there ya go.
Hello
Do you run your EVE clients in windowed mode?
In need to repro this locally to investigate wth happens there (you're not the first one who reports this). Could you also send me your config file via EVE mail (just remove the part with your char's names)?
Well, in the worst case I'll just have to draw invisible frames around preview windows to help them stay on top, but I really need to find out first what happened (this could be some Win update, GPU drivers upate or glitch etc) |

EVE-O is not needed for that. These are just EVE clients in window mode with properly arranged windows. Actually take a look at comments under this video - Crossing Zebras have a nice guide for this kind of ratting. |

EOP won't allow you to show only a part of the EVE client's screen, only a full unchanged picture. Also it won't allow you to say click on the preview window and have this click replicated in the corresponding EVE client.
EOP tries to stay as far away from any EULA breaking things as possible. |

This is out of scope of EVE-O. Also I'm not sure if this is legal ta all.

sadly i have some trouble with eveo in the last days, i can not identify the problem or where it comes from, but let me describe, i use eveo long years, its an awesome tool und must have, i changed from v2.1 to v2.2 and now the json is forgetting all the time the settings, when i open and run my clients and start eveo then the program forces all client window sizes to a smaller window.
Im using window mode because i like to use the taskbar and this is not possible in fullscreen.
Any ideas?
Also the Thumbnail size i use (192:108) is not working, its always a different size.

Samuel Sachs wrote:Hey, im using the last release already. I can edit the json self, or do you mean anything else, because this is all what i know what is existing for settings. https://pastebin.com/BxvtjXksThe values for window sizes are wrong, they do not match when i change them and close eveo and open up again :( Maybe you know there is a bug and can help, would be nice.
Could you take a creenshot of the area with preview window when it has correct size and after the restart, when it is crippled? (not the whole scrreen, jsut cute tha area around the preview window). I'll check what's wrong when I'll be at my dev workstation (ie next weekend)

When you encounter a bug or a crash please do the following, as this will greatly help me to pin down and fix the possible bug:
Next to the .exe file there is a configuration .JSON file. Please send it to me via EVE in-game mail. To protect your privacy please replace the name(s) of your alt(s) in the message with something like 'EVE - Alt 1' , 'EVE - Alt 2', etc before actually sending it out to me.

Kas Sa wrote:Is there any way to setup a hotkey to move the current active window to another monitor?
I.e. Say I have two monitors, and some arbitrary designation for 5 different eve windows on where they should be (initially) located, either on Monitor 1 or Monitor 2. If eve window #4 was set to be on monitor 2, is there anyway to easily (while running the game) bring it to the foreground and switch which monitor is shows on?
Does that make sense?
Shift + Win + arrow keys
Windows shortcut to move active windows across several monitors. Just double-checked - works for EVE too |

The thing you described breaks EULA and is a bannable offence.
Please read 3rd paragraph ot the first post in this thread. |

Nope
EOP is about showing ENTIRE and UNMODIFIED EVE interface.

You'd need to wait for one of the next releases. I'll make this configurable.

Taric Laresh wrote:Hi there,
thanks for all the effort that goes into this project.
Is there a way to make the thumbnails bigger?
From the readme.pdf contained in the .zip installation file
Quote:Mouse Gestures
Mouse gestures are applied to the thumbnail window currently being hovered over.
* Move thumbnail to a new position - Press right mouse button and move the mouse
* Adjust thumbnail height - Press both left and right mouse buttons and move the mouse up or down
* Adjust thumbnail width - Press both left and mouse buttons and move the mouse left or right
Or using via setting width/height in the main EVE-O Preview dialog |
