KVS Master Thread

[Chaikel]

they can't do several days in one shot because the system doesn't check actual airline inventory... it just scrapes from their sites.  the sites themselves don't offer multiple days in a shot... therefore kvs can't offer it.  what they could offer, is to enter multiple days in a shot and then have kvs open multiple tabs doing multiple single day searches with the days you entered. 

I'm sure BAHayman or any competent programer could write a simple script of <enter> <export to file> <ctrl+pgdn> <export to file> ...

[KVS]

If I could choose the top function missing, is:

Several days in one shot, and even better, scheduled/automated search, with an option to notify (by email/pop up/sound) when availability opens up.

I would really like a multiple date option for KVS, where I could put in a range of dates and have each days results at the end. Instead of having to search each date individually and trying to remember (or manually exporting) what was available on which date

The Alerting & Multi-Day search functions are being considered. In the meantime, the dedicated [Previous/Next Day] shortcut buttons (and the Ctrl+PgUp/PgDown keyboard shortcuts), in combination with the [Send to WordPad] option (Ctrl+P), make these tasks as easy as possible.

or how about some sort of tab system?  that would make life a lot simpler and probably very easy for you to implement

That is also something that is being considered for one of the future versions. Until then, you can launch as many separate instances of the KVS Tool as needed (and title them on the screen) by clicking [Tools] -> [Launch Another Instance].

Yes. Was working originally, but stopped a few weeks ago. Thought an update might fix it, but I just updated, and no dice

update probably won't help, as its working by me before.

What I was thinking was that it was possibly a windows updates that messed it up, and KVS would fix it on the next update.

It is definitely an issue with your local system. Have you tried repairing your Excel installation?

As I said it is an issue with both Excel and Wordpad. I can open both programs by themselves just not through KVS

Could it be a problem with the system path or whatever it's called? The line that allows you to type a program name in a command line without writing the exact location? I forget exactly what it's called

If these applications are correctly installed, their locations will be stored in the Registry, so that Windows will know where to find them. You can certainly add their paths manually as a work-around, but it should never be necessary on a properly-configured system.

That was my thought

I added Worpad's path to the windows PATH, and still no go.

As I said, it was working, then it stopped. I didn't change my installations

What happens if you do [Start] -> [Run] and enter "WordPad.exe"?

[Chaikel]

Hmm... "windows cannot find..."
EDIT: Got it working. %programfiles% apparently doesn't work in the path, even though that's how it was listed in the shortcut.
Workaround is fine for me for now

The %whatever% are called Environment Variables.

You can set the environment variables in the Advanced tab of My Computer.

KVS sometimes doesn't tell when there is an upgrade. I'm talking when I just restarted pc, and opened KVS.

Also, there was no other message to be displayed (such as Happy new year or so), which I've come to realize, can be conflicting.

[SuperFlyer]

Oh no, since last update I have again those FS? results with LX

I believe it's an ANA/LX problem, not a KVS problem

[SuperFlyer]

It did happen after specific updates (and also other times I was advised that it has to do with time-outs or so, nevertheless they seem to coincide with updates)
