No sure where to post this, so mods, please move it if its in the wrong section etc
I've been spending some months now on developing an application that started with a simple resource manager but has now grown into more of an Crafter's Tool and I have decided to do a public version of it.
Some of the features included in the current build (1.315 beta) are:
- View current resources (from swgcraft.com), both browser tree and view a "filtered" version with help from filters that you create.
- My Resources, keep track of your resources
- My Components, keep track of those and what container they are in and what vendor etc.
- My Filters, create filters that you apply on the current resources.
- Running Harvesters, Keep track of you harvesters and see how much they have gathered since you placed them etc.
- Schematic simulation, Select the best resources both in you stock and/or from the current resources and see what the result will be.

Try it out, you wont be disapointed.

This is one of the best tools i have ever seen!
The resource managment of it alone will save countless hours of keeping track of what i currently have.
5 stars for you - Great job on an EXCELLENT tool!
EDIT: i just discovered something about the tool - This thing will let you look at the currently spawned resources and how well they will perform in a schematic for your profession!! No more hoping that this is the best resource in the galaxy, now you know for sure! n The only thing it appears to be missing is calculations based on subcomponents for things like buff packs, as well as the various schematics for some different professions.
I'm sure there's plans to add these in the future - It has a long way to come... It crashes quite a bit for sure, and you have to re-download the resource data every time you open it. Keep plugging away and fix it up a bit and this will become a staple tool to the SWG crafting community.

Thanks guys for testing it out, just need to "get the word" out, its still in beta and there will be bugs to squash 
regarding the Schematic simulation feature; Not all professions are implemented yet, the ones that are is: Weaponsmith, armoursmith, doctor and architect.
Also, not all the resource-class icons have been implemented, primarily the Organic ones, so some of them might show up as a weird part-of green resource container icon instead

Hey this is a great start! I'm sure you're aware of the jenner & fooman spreadsheet tool. This looks great for those of us who hate excel. 
If you could add a way to import resources from a csv or whatever that would be very handy.

smork: Yeah I've heard about fooman's tool, but never actually tried it as I really hate excel, and as a programmer I prefere my own stuff 
yeah, thats a good idea, will actually be adding something like that so you can for instance write directly into notepad ingame
<type>;<class>;<er>;<cr>;<cd>;etc... and do a linebreak after each resource, will make it more handy to add resources if you are adding many of them as I know its a pain to add like 200 different ones vie single textboxes 
but as I've mentioned in earlier post, this is still beta and it's only gotten lite 2 or 3 people's input, as more and more use it, it will get better and better. so keep the freedback coming

This is an awesome tool, and I"m using it to mainly track harvesters.

To Janos_uris: This is bcause the program could not locate the current_resource file from swgcraft.com, either their server was down at the time you tested it or do you have a firewall? in that case, check so that the program has rights.
