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, ---

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

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 🙂 ---

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 ---

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 ---

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. ---

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. ---

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.
