Hi!
First of all, thank you again for the great software and all the support.
Recently, one collaborator here noted that it would be helpful if the preview of attached files could be disabled on a file-by-file basis (via a checkbutton next to the "Upload" button maybe?). This applies e.g. to cases where someone performs a measurement outside of routine operations and attaches the ASCII data file (preview not wanted, in particular if it contains many lines) and the graph representing the evaluation (preview wanted). The disabling should apply to both single-entry view and list view with "Show attachments" option.
Another "fancy" idea of ours would be to allow #include-like statements in the ELOG config file. E.g. if the number of logbooks gets large, people might choose to put old logbooks to an archive disk which is then stored on some shelf. If a user then wants to access these, the disk could be mounted again (say, under /elog-archive). But since we don't know which archive disk has been mounted, and in order to keep the main config file small, the best would be to have the configurations for the logbooks of each disk on the disk itself (say, in a file called additional.config). We could then have a line like#include /elog-archive/additional.config in the main config file. When the elogd is (re)started, it would try to include that file. If it finds none (because no archive disk is mounted) it would silently ignore this. But if it finds such a file, it would include the logbook definitions found therein.
Do you think it is possible (and preferable) to implement this?
Cheers
