Hi Andreas,

True, as a feature explained here, it may not be the most frequently used ;-)

And you are right, I would not want *all* attachements in the hidden directory to appear in the public.  But I've got
quite used to playing around in the logbook subdirectories now.

In my case, the ever-expanding use I make of ELOG - and the fact that I use it with the logbook directory stored on a
memory stick (to move from location to location and use local computers, and that's partly to ensure the hidden
directory stays hidden!) - does mean I sometimes run into issues that some hyper-networked system with ZB of storage
don't even notice.
