I love it works like a charm for me.

In 1.8.0 - the Meta field is now either "blank" or 2 (Faction) or 5 (Tech II). Which means that any existing queries that relied on the Meta field being equal to zero no longer work.

Maybe make "blank" = 0, or add a "Is Empty" comparison?

Sort of a longer term wish here.

The ability to define, for a specific character, at a specific station, in a specific hangar a list of items that I want to maintain a stockpile of. Maybe as a Tools -> Stockpile mini-application.

1. Define the stockpile with a name, allow me to select a user or corporation for the owner, a system, optionally a station within that system and optionally a specific hangar. If the filter is defined as system-wide or station-wide, the tool should roll-up any piles into a single number. I won't care about specific locations in that case, just whether I have it in system somewhere.

I would probably have 2-5 stockpiles defined for a small corporation at different locations, possibly serving different purposes at the same location (such as a POS fuel stockpile, or a mineral stockpile, or a T2 production stockpile).

2a. If I right-click on an item elsewhere, I should be able to add it to a stock list. That would be how I would populate the list of what to stockpile.

2b. Alternately, let me add items to the stockpile list by typing in the item name on the Stockpile tab.

2c. Removal of items from the stock list would be done via right-click delete.

3. For each item on the stockpile, I'd want to see "how many I have", "how many I want", "difference", "unit price", "stockpiled value", "to be purchased value (how many I want)". Maybe total m3 in stock, total m3 needed to get a feel for hauling volume.

The status line should indicate total ISK value of "in stock" and total ISK value of "need to buy" along with the m3 volume for both categories.

Longer term:

- The ability to export the stockpile setting to an XML file for import by someone else who also uses jEVEAssets to help keep track of corporate assets.

- The ability to clone and then modify existing stockpile plans.

To expand a bit more on that feature request while I drink my coffee and tend to my PI planet farms.

Right now, I can easily setup filters that tell me how much of something (or somethings) I have in a specific location, but it doesn't do a good job of answering the question of "am I short on stock". To get that, I either have to type the numbers into another spreadsheet where I have estimated my weekly needs, or I have to do the math in my head and constantly make shopping lists in a note.

As a for-instance: POS fuel. In order to keep the POS tower running, I need to maintain X units of nine different products (plus a stront reserve) in a nearby station to ensure that when it comes time to fuel the tower I have enough to meet the needs. So I would define a stockpile that looks at the station hangar and tells me whether I'm over/under stocked on the appropriate mixture to keep a tower running for say 2 months.

Then I would clone that stockpile plan and adjust it to report on each station where I maintain a POS tower fuel stockpile. So during a weekly audit, I could flip through the various stockpiles and see quickly that "system X" needs stuff while "station Y" has enough at the moment. Maybe I place an order with a fuel service, or I have one of my minions go fetch.

(A possible useful addition - some sort of "export buy qty to clipboard" report. Click the button and get something that you can paste into an EVE mail, one item per line. Each line with quantity and item name. A summary at the bottom with "estimated market value" and "total m3 to be hauled".)

I would probably also clone the individual stockpile plan and create a more generic one that would look at a specific region, across multiple star systems and stations as an overview sort of stockpile plan. This would be my "how are my overall strategic reserves looking?" plan. Maybe I'm short in system Y, but overall I have a lot of spare POS fuel in the system so instead of purchasing, I could just move fuel from one location to another.

Primary uses:
- POS fuels (keeping N weeks of fuel on-hand as a reserve)
- PI inputs for a factory planet (keeping N days of PI inputs on-hand to keep the factory running)
- Manufacturing inputs (keeping N weeks of input materials stocked)
- Other manufacturing type scenarios or invention
- Anything that regularly consumes items on a daily/weekly basis

1) Assets can be updated again after 6 hours...
2) Those are the source requirements/dependencies. You do not need to worry about that to run the program. Just be sure you have the latest version of Java Runtime Environment 6.
3) You need to replace [USERNAME], with your windows 7 username...
4) If you want to change Min/Max/Avg etc. you need to use eve-central. eve-marketdata only have one price...
5) Reprocessing use the standard price set in "Options > Options... > Price Data" (AKA you can change it...)
6) Take a look at "Options > Options... > Assets > Sell/Reprocess colors".
7) See "Options > Options... > Reprocessing", if you know your tax percent, just add it to the station equipment percent...

I hope that answer your questions, if not feel free to post again...

Extra input added :)

Added download for Mac version of 1.8.1.
Will also be available on the homepage of jEveAssets shortly.

The ability by category (and possibly group) to force the use of base prices rather then market value.

Or a bit more sanity when pulling prices from eve-marketdata (Tritanium's price at the moment came back at around 5500 ISK/unit instead of the roughly 3.0-3.3 per unit price). But I suspect that's a bit more of a eve-marketdata or evemarketeer wish where they give us a weighted average of the top 5 market hubs rather then just reporting on Jita prices.

Ooooh, I'll definitely be willing to try out a beta.

(And yes, I feed both EMD and EMK data nightly for 3 diff regions... we still need more folks doing so.)
