What exactly is it what you want to do yourself?

Any way to make the labels apply to people who're not in a player corp?

Edit: managed some xml-fu to do that, only problem is that if the alliance ticker is on it creates a linebreak for no apparent reason... Am I missing something?

Having an app open sourced has 2 benefits.
First, people who know how can run through the code and verify it's safe.
Second, creator can abandon the project and assure that someone else can pick it up.

So consider about it.

Btw, nice work.

Glad to see this still going. I would have messsaged you sooner man but last week I dropped my brandnew laptop off the back of the train I was hopping west to TN. Was going to fast to retreive it. I think it went under the wheels anyway. lol. Will hit you up next time I'm at a library etc,. Keep up the good work and fly safe =)

Apparently not much :p

I agree that it would be very nice if these could be added to the shiplabels, however this is not possible :( These can only be seen in the overview

Thanks for making this app. Especially for including a cross platform jar. ( cant believe i just thanked someone for using java...)

Having trouble saving the file on OSX. The dialog says it is trying to save to "/Users/{Username}\EVE\Overview\myGlobalSettings" which would of course be invalid, and is generally a bad location to try to save stuff. Even if you do create what I assume the dialogue is intending at "/Users/{Username}/EVE/Overview/myGlobalSettings" nothing shows up when saving.

Is a save directory dialogue out of the question? Oe maybe just exposing the raw XML to copy in to our own files?

Also, I assume its a bug that you can not drag to re-arrange the items once placed in the grid?

Thanks again. Nice idea.

Tbh I haven't tested it on OSX. I might do so on a virtual machine now I read about this bug...

A save directory dialogue is not out of the question, no. However I wanted to make it as easy as possible to use for anybody, and since the xml can only be imported in-game from the /EVE/Overview directory I figured 'well, why not make it static'. Assuming that the method I used (a method by Java which searches for the default directory of your OS) was also cross-platform but apparently this is not :( I'll have a look at this tomorrow, see if I can keep the same functionalities but then cross-platform (unless you got other reasons why you want a dir dialogue). Otherwise I suppose I'll have to add at least a possiblity to open a dir dialogue.

About re-dragging the items on the grid.. No this is not a bug. The intention was that you can place another item on top of the other in order to move all components from that point on to the right. This is a nice feature until you want an item to be switched with another item or move it to the next line or something, while the item that has to be moved wasn't the last item you added.

((Hmm thinking about this feature also makes more features come up in my mind))

I might have a look at that tomorrow as well, however fixing the first bug you described is my priority at this point. Thanks for the input!

I haven't been able to release a new version yet due to real-life stuff. Upcoming wednesday and the rest of that week I'll have plenty of time though so I'll definetly get a look at it by then, maybe even starting tomorrow. The plan:

- Give users a choice to save it in the default directory or a custom directory with a saving directory dialogue. If it's saved in a custom dir, the user will have the choice to make this his new default dir.

- Give users the ability to re-arrange items placed on the grid.
