(I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this...)

So, I don't really like it when Abrosia buys a 2k profit item for 50k (or anything like that), because the selling price fluctuates too wildly for that 2k to be anything. I saw in the Abrosia settings (not using lists) that there was a "Profit must be greater than x% of the item price" setting. So I decided to write a crude Java program to mimic that for lists.
(Actually, I mainly wrote it because I wanted a programming exercise...)

Double-click the jar file and you'll see a window like this:

Copy and paste your list into the top box (removing the text already in it).
Each item name must be followed by X NP on a new line, and Profit: X NP on another new line, where X is a number.

For example:
Spoiler

If you're missing the two lines with numbers after an item, the program won't do anything.

Then type in the minimum profit/price ratio.
1 means the profit must be at least the same as the price (which is impossible).
0 means the profit must be at least positive (or zero).
0.5 means the profit must be at least 50% of the price.
etc.

If you type in a non-numeric value, the program won't do anything.
Click the button and copy the text into a text editor to save.

looks nice. what happens when items are unpriced in the database though?

It doesn't do anything because unpriced is not a number. (I parse the lines below the item name for the numbers, so if it doesn't have a number, nothing will happen.)
I wouldn't copy unpriced items into the list though...

why not? they're normally recently released items whose prices haven't undergone deflation yet. they're normally fantastic buys.

Ah, I never knew what unpriced meant.

It works with unpriced items now.
