Hi there - very handy and nifty app! I was about to report a bug about it not being able to collect resources from Spice Trader units but I just realize that this is due to the Y setting being too low as this unit is very tall.
As for enhancements, I am sure you already have many if not most of them in your TODO: but here is my list for your consideration:
- Refresh button is a must for ex-pats like me living in foreign countries with not so great internet connectivity. This one is essential! I have spent 30-40 minutes trying to connect sometimes, and every time it fails I have to close the app and start over, from waiting it to load the home page, to entering credentials, to seeing it try to connect to the server, to see it return a server error message and boom, nothing I can do but to close and try agian
EDIT: Or better yet, since the Server Error page is easy to parse, catch this, wait a few seconds (configurable) and automatically refresh the page to try to reconnect, up to x number if times (configurable). That feature alone will get you a nice donation on my part, if you take those :)
- Caching of username and password ala most browsers
- Ability to run multiple times with cities in other worlds - session caching seems to get in the way. This also implies the ability to store session settins so we don't have to enter credentials for every account every time we start this.
- Built-in browser/flash container is a bit of a pig. My process is running at 1.6G of memory after about 4 hours, which is abuot the maximum the 32 bit app can handle.
- 64 bit support :)
- support for 5 minute timers
- If there is a data stream that tells you the amount of coins and resources collected, it would be nice to have some sort of window that would give us those counters.
Thanks a lot for bringing this tool and sharing it. It definitely gives me back hours of time trying to maximize every coin and resource for ranking points :) Keep up the great work!

as for the error of Digan and kiukiu ... i dont know whats causing that, but i will implement a function in v0.4 that will help me figure out what the problem is and maybe fix it for the version after that ...
im going to ask you to have some patience because this month and the first half of september im going to be a little busy with family and old relatives and friends, as im in my hometown ... so im not that productive as i hoped to be, im not sure when im going to release the next versions ...

If you are having problems with Flash asking to be updated no matter what you do, check the following link:

You are almost certain to fix the problem by downloading the actual INSTALLER file, instead of the Adobe Web Installer. There are two versions, one for IE (ActiveX) and one for all other browsers. You need the later, but it does not hurt to just install both and be sure you have the latest and greatest.
Hope this helps.
