@ CCP Punkturis: Cargo / ship scan result not stacking

I've ran into the following problem with the scan result windows of ship + cargo scanners. Prior to cruicible you were able to set the client up in such a way that a new result apeared in an exsisting frame as a new tab. Currently this isn't possible anymore

New ship scan results show up as the size of the previous window and then in a cascading form on top of each other.

New cargo scan result windows keep showing up in the center of the screen in their smallest form possible, whatever I do.

Is this related to the removal of the lock window option?

Can you please look into this.

Hi. I can not replicate the issue that you are having. I have successfully docked my cargo scanner and ship scanner windows into my chat window, and they reopen in that position whenever I scan. Can you give me some more info or a screenshot perhaps of the issue?

Thank you for your response, I tried "locking" the scan result windows in my chat windows but the only way I could reproduce what you describe is by activating scanners on the same target. IE:

1 Scan target A
2 Drag result windows into chat windows
3 Close scan results
4 Scan target A
5 Scan results showed up in the position I put them in in step 2
6 Scan target B
7 Ship scan result shows up above prior result in a cascading form, cargo scan result shows up in minimimal form in the center of the screen

This is how my screen currently looks when scanning ships:

The reason that there are two cargo scans in the upper left window because I keep one open at all time as big as fits on my screen so I can drag a new result into it and it instantly gains this size as well. Ship scan results on the right hold their size but they cascade and don't use the same window.

This is how things looked pre crucible

Both scanners results kept appearing either in the the excisting windows as a tab, or when the windows were closed they apeared in the last position of those windows.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,

Ronson

I've allready created a bug report about this ID120060

confirmed I have same issue as OP whilst scanning just now. No matter how i resize or move the windows, one of them always appear back in smallest size possible on top of the other.

Same issue. It's saving size/position changes for the scan window only for each individual ship. So every new ship scanned is default window size/position.

oh look a thread for me!

it's best to file a bug report and then it'll end up on my desk (or someone else's, depends on the matter) but the needed data will also be sent with the bug report which makes it easier to fix problems Smile

What about washed-out icons when the UI is upscaled? Should I bug-report it, or are you already working on that?

Because of your reply in the topic regarding the "window pin" option yesterday I was under the impression that you are (one of) the UI DEV's. As you might have read I allready created a petition about this issue.

But still thanks for responding here. :)

Dang ganking forums - CCP you have anyone competent to actually fix them?


@Ronson - Unfortunately CCP is too far behind the times to know that they could easily recognize a Petition as a Bug Report. It's up to you to waste your time filing a Bug Report at a different site.

I actually meant a bug report that I made on the main EVE site. Bug report number is in my 2nd post.

I can't save my cargo/ship scanner result window size and position, it saves when i scan the same target, but it's always in DEFAULT size/position for every new target.

This is actually an really old issue. This is how I always get around it.
This also happens with opening containers of all sorts, i.e. wreaks and cargo.
When you open the first one and the window pops open, Look at it and you can see it looks like it is in a window and see the tab? Move your mouse cursor too the "tab" and move the window. You will see the "tab" disappear. Now open the second one. You can now move the second one over the first to snap them together, and the tabs reappear. Re-size the window to personal taste and close. From now on, the windows will open in one window tabbed.

We tried that. Also not working.

This used to be the case pre-crucible, but I can't reproduce this in the current build. Sad
