An Elite: Dangerous Market Connector (EDMC) plug-in to track minor faction activity in the game Elite: Dangerous.

(Coming soon)

edmfat's Issues

Not reporting black market sales

To reproduce:

1. Play Elite Dangerous and acquire a stolen commodity.
2. Travel to a star system where your supported minor faction(s) is present.
3. Travel to a station or settlement in that star system with a black market.
4. Sell the stolen commodity at the black market.

Expected result: The activity appears in the main EDMC panel.
Actual result: Nothing is shown. An error is logged saying the commodity is not present in the market.

Is there a way to see/copy trade totals?

It's good to see the total amounts of materials traded and the average credits per ton, but in some squadrons we talk about trade totals. Is it possible to see or copy that information from EDMFAT, or could it be? Currently I use an app called First Contact for that, but having it in EDMC with everything else would be great.

Missions from NPC mission providers are sometimes not reported

To reproduce

1. Visit an NPC mission provider, such as on a station, settlement or outpost
2. Request a mission. Optionally haggle.
3. Complete the mission at the mission provider.

Expected result: EDMFAT captures the mission INF as with any other mission.
Actual result: No mission is reported.

Description
The problem appears to be that no mission entries are written to the Elite Dangerous journal. I am continuing to investigate.

`Copy` and `Copy + Reset` buttons sometimes do not copy activity

To reproduce:

1. Play Elite Dangerous and do some work for your selected minor faction(s).
2. Press the Copy or Copy + Reset buttons to copy the activity onto the clipboard.
3. Close EDMC.
4. Paste the clipboard into another application.

Expected result: The activity copied from EDMC appears in the application.
Actual result: Nothing is pasted.

Workaround:
Either:

1. Paste the activity before closing the application (swap steps 3 and 4 above).
2. Copy the activity, attempt to paste the activity then only press Copy + Reset when you have reported your activity.

The Windows clipboard has two modes of operation. One is putting data directly onto it. The second is informing the clipboard that data is available, which is then requested on first access. I have not investigated the tkinter library's clipboard functionality, which EDMFAT uses, but I suspect it is using the latter.

Moving to a new library or adding a separate clipboard library is disproportionately hard. I will continue to monitor the issue.
