EVE-O Preview v5.1.0 "Able Actor" (multi-client preview / switcher) [ 2021-05-08 ] + limited Linux support

[Thai_Mhalbarei]

Awesome thank you!

[Yizdale_Bolmara]

Cant seem to find on this or old forum but I’ve lost the “snap” ability of the thumbnails. Is there a way to reactivate it. I’m probably missing something obvious.

Thanks,

[Phrynohyas_Tig-Rah]

What you mean by

@Yizdale_Bolmara

snap

?

[Yizdale_Bolmara]

When you have multiple thumbnails and you place them near each other, they self orient to be aligned to each other.

It is hard to activate a feature that has never been implemented in the first place.

[Yizdale_Bolmara]

I believe it had to be a feature with an another program. It got fixed with a restart.

Anyway, This is a great piece of software and valuable to make life easier in eve. Thank you for putting in the time and effort into this project. I really appreciate your work and other 3rd party creators out there

When trying to use this my primary windows are being resized to 3/4 of the screen and are near unusual, any idea what causes this?

[Phrynohyas_Tig-Rah]

Hey

Well, I’ve see this from time to time even when EOP is not running at all. Yet in my case this is caused by 2 displays with different DPI and scaling.

Still could you send me via eve-mail a screenshot of this + your config file?

@Phrynohyas_Tig-Rah

If you did encounter a bug or a crash please do the following, as this will greatly help me to pin down and fix the possible bug:

Next to the .exe file there is a configuration .JSON file. Please send it to me via EVE in-game mail. To protect your privacy please replace the name(s) of your alt(s) in the message with something like ‘EVE - Alt 1’ , ‘EVE - Alt 2’, etc before actually sending it out to me.

TIA

[SEVISGEN]

sent!

[Phrynohyas_Tig-Rah]

Sorry for the delay. I was seriously distracted by some RL stuff: https://i.imgur.com/6DFP01Z.jpg

Will take a look over this weeked

Hey thats not the mouse.

[Phrynohyas_Tig-Rah]

Yep. Someone did trow tis little girl to a trash can. Found her at the moment the garbage truck was pulling the can. So now I have one more cat (other cats weren’t happy with that)

There will be a minor EOP update this weekend. Seems there are issues with client location tracking + HighDPI displays

[Bjorn_Tyrson]

not sure if i’m doing something wrong or i’m missing a setting or something but I can’t seem to get it working.

i’ve got eve-o open, as well as my clients, but besides the eve-o settings window nothing else seems to be different, no thumbnails, no overlay nothing at all different that I can see (i’ve even tried minimizing other windows just in case something was getting hidden somehow)

when I try and adjust the thumbnail width or height settings it crashes.

[Phrynohyas_Tig-Rah]

Assuming you run it on Win7+ with Aero enabled:

1. Please check that you use the latest version available
2. On crash it should create a file named EVE-O Preview.log next to the .exe file - please send it to me via eve-mail.
3. Also please send me the .json file located next to the .exe file
4. Please do not run the app from a folder like C:\Program Files or similar (ie one that requres elevated prvileges to write to)

TIA

Love the Client. Absolutely fantastic work.

Was wondering if you could code a “lock” of some sort into the app, so that when I position the preview windows, I can lock or pin them in place. They tend to like to move from time to time and it gets a bit frustrating when all of a sudden one of the previews is on my other screen in front of things.

I removed some off-topic posts that were beginning to derail the thread. Please read the second post in this thread for more information.

[Jazmin_James_Sykes]

dose this allow a pass through ?

Assuming you run it on Win7+ with Aero enabled:

this right here was my issue, I had my windows theme set to xp because it reduces ram, didn’t notice the requirement at first glance.

First: Very handy tool.

But ive some wierd problems.

Im using 3 Chars and made some thumbnails for each client.

If im position my thumbs - and switch to another char, by clicking his thumnail, all the positions of the other thumbnails are wierd.

Then im pick them up, putting them to my place, where i want - switch again to another client - and all thumbs are on another wierd position.

So the position, that i want (from the thumbnail) is not that,what i want, after switching clients.
