The menu options, accessible in all pages, is detailed below:

Tools

  • Settings : Go to the settings on the tab list, or if not present, make a settings tab and go to it.

  • Pop Outs: If you have pop outs you can't find on the screen due to transparency or are configured to not show in the task bar, use this to make them findable.

  • Exit: Quit!

Admin

  • Synchronise with ESDM: Force a manual update from/to EDSM of either star data or logs from/to.

  • Rescan all journal files: Advanced Force a rescan of all files previously read to ensure all entries are there. Only use if data has been lost in the past.

  • Rebuild User DB Indexes - use if you suspect the user DB has become corrupted, EDD is running slow, etc

  • Rebuild System DB Indexes - use if you suspect the system DB has become corrupted, EDD is running slow, etc
