Note2: Due to a bug that was found in v0.4.2 (and possibly earlier) some blank entries may have been created which can cause the GUI to generate a Lua error. If you are having this problem, you can use the command "/ledger fix042" to delete these blank entries

Known Issues: If you buy back your last ship, and the current station doesn't sell everything, but you have everything in stock, it will still create a note saying the purchase failed, even though your ship is fully customized.

I have been running around now for a couple of days with the plugin. It has been really interesting to look at my daily habits. Couple of suggestions.
1. add a filter under ships for purchases.
2. be able to set the recording amount. Example 1 day or 1 week type of thing. As it may cause a problem if the transaction list gets too long.
Think it is a good solid interface. Look forward to your enhancements.

Version 0.3.0 has been released.

link works now.

I have the foundation for editing notes on entries working. However, I'm currently trying to pin down a CPU utilization problem that I've recently noticed on my system in conjunction with having the ledger window open. If I make the window fullscreen, it shouldn't impact gameplay at all, and just end up being a nuisance to me. In fact, I've just decided that so long as it's not causing the game to crash, I'm not going to worry about it. If anyone notices any problems being caused by this, please let me know and I'll look into it more.

Version 0.4.0 has been released.

I feel like such a putz at times. Well, I discovered I'd broken sorting of the matrix on opening the GUI, so I took the time to also add in logging of guild bank transactions while I was fixing that.

Version 0.4.1 has been released.

Version 0.4.3 has been released. This is mainly a bugfix version.

I just took a quick look at this plug-in. For starters, I see that you are missing a few ships names in your list. Exact names are:
'Vulture - Anniversary Edition'
'Corvus Vulturius - Anniversary Edition'
'TPG Raptor Mark II'
'Behemoth Heavy Miner MkII'

Also 'UIT Territorial Defender' s/b 'Warthog Territorial Defender'

If I were writing this plug-in, some things I would add:
1) Filter entries by date range. In addition, it would be nice to have a set of radio buttons to choose between all entries, this month, this week, today, and this session (at least since reload of interface).
2) Include the sector where the transaction occurred for each entry (well, maybe not for guild bank transactions)
3) From my work on SLM I have learned that saving the version in the system notes is a great step in handling potential incompatibilities with future versions

Thank you for taking the time, meridian. Your insight is always appreciated.

Version 0.4.4 has now been released.

After thinking about it some more, I think it would be helpful to have the number of results found indicated when using the filter (i.e. XX of TOTAL records). For example, since I happened to have Ledger installed on my test client, I was able to see that I destroyed 149 ships in my testing for my latest SLM update (but I had to count the entries manually to arrive at that number). Also, having the total count is useful for getting an idea of when it's time to do some spring cleaning of records.

I'd also like to see a button in the GUI to erase all records since I'll never remember the command for /ledger reset. Obviously add a confirmation dialog, and adding it to the options tab would probably be a good idea too to help reduce accidental mis-clicks.

Sounds good. I'll look at putting that into the mix. I'm also going to be separating out quantity into a separate field. I've been slacking on the mission tracking work though. So that's still a ways out.

I've finally gotten around to working on adding mission support. I've uploaded an unstable version for people who are interested in testing this out.

Since my record count has gotten to be rather high, I've noticed some instabilities in the matrix when it's displayed. So I'll be moving to limit the number of displayed records in some way.

My first thought was to only show records for the current day. This would be the easiest to do.
My second thought was to try and create a dynamic moving window of displayed records. This would be harder, but it could potentially create a more seamless user experience.

I'm going to try and make my second thought a reality.

EDIT:
If you get the error (plugins/ledger/main.lua:137: attempt to concatenate local 'notes' (a nil value)) I think I fixed it already. Since I didn't anticipate anyone having already downloaded the unstable version, I just re-uploaded it with the same file name. Download it again and it should go away.

EDIT2:
If you got the error ( plugins/ledger/ui_options.lua:134: bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil) ), this should be fixed now. Download a2.

I can't remember it was a while back when I noticed but I'm pretty sure this ledger doesn't take into account being paid bounties, just a heads up. Either that or it was a bug. So guess that's a feature request, Draug.

At this point in time, I don't have any event data pertaining to bounties. If you wanted to gather the CHAT_MSG_SECTORD_MISSION and CHAT_MSG_CONFIRMATION events for a bounty award, I would be willing to add them in.

Getting this error on start up using ledger_20110609-0911.zip (unstable):
