POCO Journal v0.1.0.1 - an unofficial EVE-MEEP plugin

Current version: v0.1.0.1

Binary: Linkage
Source: Linkage
Screen shot: Linkage (planets and clients have been censored to protect the innocent P)

I am in no way related to the official EVE-MEEP application or its developers. This was just me playing around with C# and .NET while making something that I would actually find useful. I actually have never really used C# or .NET before, so don't expect anything amazing. I use this plugin to see who is using my POCOs, which planets are being used, and how much money each planet/client is giving me in taxes.

NOTES:
- The software and source code is provided "AS IS". No warranties, no guarantees, don't sue me, etc etc. You are free to use, modify or redistribute the software/source code however you like, so long as you don't violate any laws or violate CCP's ToS or EULA. Note that EVE-MEEP itself is licensed under the GPL version 2.0.
- I have not tested this with multiple corporations with POCOs. If someone has multiple corporations with POCOs could let me know if anything doesn't work, that would be greatly appreciated.
- I have never used C# or .NET before, and it probably shows. Some things might be inefficient, or I may be doing things "wrong". If you notice anything, please let me know.
- You will probably need to restart EVE-MEEP after the journal has been updated by the API. Currently the plugin only loads its data once, when EVEMEEP starts.
- If you want to test or make modifications to the code, you will probably have to modify the project settings. Project->POCOJournal Properties->Build Events->Post-build event command line. The third command copies the DLL file to my personal EVE-MEEP directory. You can safely delete this third line, or modify the last argument to point to your own EVE-MEEP Plugin directory.
- The source code requires the EVE-MEEP 3 source code to compile. You can get the source code via SVN from source-forge. Note that there are multiple versions of EVE-MEEP in the repository. The latest version's project solution is located under EveMEEP/EVEMEEPv2/Branches.

INSTALLATION:
This is a plugin, not a stand-alone application.

1) Install EVE-MEEP 3
2) Locate EVE-MEEP's plugin directory
3) Extract the DLL file from the Binary ZIP to the plugin directory
4) Start EVE-MEEP and you should see a plugin labeled "POCO Journal" alone with all of the other plugins

USAGE:

- Click the POCO Journal icon to start
- Initially, no entries are shown. You should see a listing of all corporations, planets and clients and the amount of total ISK that has been generated by each of these entities.
- You can filter results by clicking on the names of corporations, planets and/or clients. Note that you can select multiple entities at once by shift+clicking, ctrl+clicking, or by drag-box within a single list. A list of journal entries will be shown based off of your selection.
- Each list can be sorted (except for corporations, I think). Click on a column head in order to sort by that column. Click the same column head again to reverse the sort order.
- Click the "Reset Filters" button to reset the filters. The entries window won't be changed or cleared, until you filter something again.


Comments, criticism or suggestions are welcome!

And please, for the love of god, let me know if it doesn't work for you.

Derp question perhaps... Can this sort by local? So I can find low sec poco's to use with lower rates instead of the ******* interbus ones?

What do you mean by local? Do you mean location? You can sort by planet name, which will implicitly also sort by system name.

However, you can't use this plugin to look for other people's POCOs. It can only summarize the revenues generated by POCOs that EVE-MEEPs API keys give you access to. Generally this means that it can only see YOUR POCOs, and not anyone else's.

If you are looking for a low-tax POCO, I'm sure you could eventually find one by asking on the forums. You could also go exploring. IIRC, the default tax level is 5%, which is better than even high sec customs offices. If you are interested in using my POCOs, send me an in-game evemail and we can work something out.
