v1.6.1
Elite Trader v1.6.1 — cancel a plot in progress & a real auto-update relaunch fix
⏹ Cancel a plot in progress
Accidentally hit PLOT? While a route is being plotted the PLOT button turns
into a CANCEL button (in both the main view and the tablet flight panel).
Tapping it stops the sequence within a moment and cleanly releases any keys it
was holding, so a mis-tap no longer types into the galaxy map for ~10 seconds.
🔄 Auto-update now relaunches itself
Fixed the long-standing issue where an update installed correctly but the app
didn't reopen on its own. Root cause: the relaunched onefile exe was inheriting
the old process's PyInstaller bootloader environment (_MEIPASS2), so it tried
to load Python from a temp folder that no longer existed. The updater now
relaunches with a clean environment, which resolves it.
Note: because the installed app is what runs an update, this one update
(from an older build to v1.6.1) may still need you to reopenEliteTrader.exe
once. Every update from v1.6.1 onward will relaunch on its own.
Run from source (run.bat / run.sh) or grab the attached EliteTrader.exe
(no Python needed). On the packaged app, updates install in place — click
Update & restart when it appears.
