I had no intention of causing any offence with my lazy archiving comment - hope I didn't, sorry if I did.
No offence taken :-)
Personally, I would have found it useful to put the attachments into a separate directory - or at least to allow
the possibility. Elog as it stands sometimes can, and sometimes cannot cope with that functionality - and even to try means messing around directly with the
yymmdda.log files. For me it would have saved me having duplicates of the same large attachment in two or three different logbooks, if I could always reference
the same Master copy of the attachment. This was at the time I was severely memory constrained, and in part forced me to change how I had operated elog, so for
me that need isn't as great as it once was.

You can put a reference to the attachment of the other entry in your logbook: elog:67896/1
Or, if it is an image, you can just include it in your new entry like I did below.
Of course this only works if the other logbook is accessible on-line.
But how would you manage access rights to a common attachment folder?
Probably I just did not understand your idea.
Cheers
Andreas
