Hi,
can anyone responsible if this application is against rules? It calculates player income from wallet jurnal data copied to clipboard. I just want to know if it can be used or I should delete it.

Thanks for respose

My question would be why you would want to use something that has you copy and pasting from your Wallet Journal when there are multiple existing apps out there that can get the data directly from the EVE XML API for you just by giving them an API key and code and do the same thing?

Because XML API for wallet jurnal is cached, I think for one hour, so you usually get outdated data from it.

I don't see why it would be against the rules. You just copy some text from EVE and that's all. If the app doesn't simulate input to the client, and I guess it doesn't, then it's fine in my opinion.

I don't think it is against the rules. You are not manipulating the client, instead you have an Always-on-top window for easy access to the app.

As for the app:
- It's journal, not jurnal
- The buttons at the top feel like they're dropdown-menus, you might want to change the look or place them somewhere else (perhaps at the bottom?)
- Income of the last hour and last two hours are quite a bad representation of the actual average income/hour. You might want to add income of the past 24h or more (but you would want to automate this via for instance the XML API).

Well, why not look what the XML says? Guessing isn't the preferred form of fact finding in programming:

(currentTime)2015-01-30 09:19:58(/currentTime)
(cachedUntil)2015-01-30 09:46:58(/cachedUntil)


That said, I agree with what the others said: I don't see how this woul be a ToS/EUAL violation. But regardless what we players think - if you want to know for sure: petition it so that you receive an oficial answer from CCP.
