Hi David,

Thanks for the quick response!  Well, I'd have to say that the sequence is as tangled as it looks in the logbook -- I've attached a copy of the log file for your reading pleasure. 

This one is definitely a "head-scratcher" for me...it definitely seems like it is more prevalent on log entries with many replies.

Thanks,
Frank

Hi,

I've had problems in the past due to a dodgy pointer creating branches despite a "No branches" in the configuration file.  It would be very interesting to see what the 200428a.log file looks li looks like with these entries: in the screenshot they appear to be shown in time order, but do the "Reply to" and "In reply to" liknes in each entry (in the .log file) show a linear progression through the entires, a branch a branch or indeed this same order as the screenshot.  If the duplicated entry sequential to 5657 (i.e 5658) then I would suspect something akin to my pointer's double click when I only made a single click, so fast that then second e second entry were created before the "No branches" checking part of the program had been reached.  Not so sure about such an event here unless entry 5658 were already open but not closed?

 

Regards,

David.

Hi all,

I've encountered an occasional problem that seems to be exacerbated by having a message with many replies.

In our use of ELOG, we run lengthy environmental tests (often several days) in multiple temperature chambers (one logbook for each chamber).  We document the start of the test with a log entry, and then periodically create replies -- first to the original log entry, and then to each successive reply (no branching allowed), in order to document how far along the test is.

What I'm seeing is an occasional "hiccup" in the order of records -- in the snapshot below, you can see that the record ID(s) go (in chronological order) ....5654, 5655, 56 5656, 5659, 5657, 5658, 5660, 5661....

Additionally, in this example, record ID# 5659 and record ID# 5657 are duplicates -- duplicate time stamp and duplicate text.

Has anyone else encountered this? 

Thanks,
Frank
