I was in this system in 2020. Now I came again and scanning it - plugin do not get any data to show: image

You would either need to import your old journal data or import from EDSM. EDMC only reads new journal entries and systems that were previously scanned aren't going to log the data again. (Unless obtained by a nav beacon.)

EDSM won't provide signal data but will provide all attribute data needed to make predictions. But you will probably have to manually check for signals and then go map the planet. At that point the signal info will be updated and you'll get predictions.

Thanks. I think you may change text there for something like "Please press import from EDSM" or like this.

The best option will always be running the journal import but if you've lost your older journals then obviously that's not an option.

Basically importing from EDSM won't be able to tell if you had the 'first' scan or not as well as signal info. Though that's mostly relevent to Pioneer.

Well, I didn't lost it. I have it archived once a week. If this plugin relays on journals, that could be cool to add archives reader ;) I use tar.gz I think.

Nearly all tools rely on reading journal data, that's the main way to get info from the game. That or parsing the Status.json and other journal-related files.

Yes, I understand it. I just didn't know you need it so old. I was in this place before carriers introduced :D Possibly EDMC will not read it at all. Any way, I see some texts could be added there to remind me to press the button. I didn't know about it until you said.
