Hi,

I am using the # character to generate automatically incrementing numbers for new messages.

My issue is that # is evaluated when you hit "New" but E-log is only aware of the new value being used when you hit "Submit".

So, two E-logs can have the same value substituted for # if two E-logs are being edited in parallel.

Maybe someone has a solution to this ?

The solution is to use "Subst" instead of "Preset".

 This is not really resolved, since "Subst" creates a new number on both "New" and "Reply". I would like "Subst" to create a new number only on "New" and preserve this number through replies throughout the thread. I would like to be able to say "Subst thread = #" to make a new number for the thread and combine it with "Subst on reply thread = $thread" to preserve the number on replies, but this does not work. Maybe someone has already done this ?

I just reworked the "Subst" command to make it more consistently. Now "Subst on Edit" and "Subst on Reply" are executed after the entry submission,  and they are mutually exclusive. So all you need right now is

Subst Tag = #

and it will not increment when editing or replying to an existing entry. The fix is in SVN revision 2264.
