Both accounts were purchased from Fdev and write to the same folder. I've used both accounts since the mystical "fix" on my SSC and it's been working great, de Carabas. If it acts up again I'll let you know. :)

Hi,
I am having a similar issue reported by JohnLuke.
I start SSC after Elite is running, I have configured it properly as it does recognize that Elite is running, says correctly the system I am at the moment and once I take a screenshot it does convert it without any problems.
BUT, at the moment it starts working in the screenshot it "looses" reference to the current system and saves it with unknown in the system information. (I have removed part of the folder path manually)

Another thing, my commander name is not FID as it is recognizing and adding at the end of the file name (as per my configuration for the file name).

Here the full log since I click the START button (version 1.5.6):
1/23/2019 7:46:49 PM - Detected that Elite: Dangerous 64bit is running.

Here the configuration I am using for the file name:
%s %b %f %g %Y %m %j %H %k %c

It does appear that there is some error when it tries to read the journal file and that probably cascades causing all other errors.

The log above is with EDDiscovery closed, I do use it often while exploring.

I realized I was using the Steam screenshot folder as well as using the Steam F12 to take screenshots.
I corrected the configuration to use the Elite Dangerous screenshot folder and also used F10 to take screenshots now I get most of the information correct in the file name, but the commander name continues to get the FID, which is an internet ED id as we can see in the log file, that needs to be corrected in the code.

Thanks Budacool

JKust started using this program again as I wanted to be able to save video files with the system names etc in. It starts up but i get an error: 02/02/2019 21:30:50 - Journal file copy Auth issue: Loop 4 Access to the path 'C:\Users\crazybee\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous

and anytime it saves a file its always in an unknown folder. I take it cause its not picking up the journal log its not able to get the details of the system etc. How can i get it toread the journal file. thanks ö7

Hi, I noticed the same error on reading commander and ship name. Screenshots are getting changed as desired. I believe this problem came with Odyssey Release.

I didn't realise anyone was still using my little application. I haven't had the chance to look at it for a long time, partly because I haven't played much for a while. If the demand is still there then I'll try and find the time to update it and make it work with Odyssey .

At long last I've got round to installing Visual Studio on our new desktop, found the old code and made the effort to start looking how to tidy up.
If anyone has issues please add the details e.g. for me the commander name and ship name are being found correctly, so what do I need to try testing to see where the error is coming from?

I've uploaded a new version (1.5.7) that I've used this morning with game. I've not tested absolutely everything but no issues so far. Let me know what's still outstanding to do.
It's here

Testing video saves highlighted that the app was using the variables from the screenshot settings! Fixed that and changed the layout a bit in 1.5.8 now available.

Videos are working for me using the shortcut through GeForce Experience. Pictures using in game shortcut key.
