Now I understand. What you ask for is not possible right now, but I put it on the
wishlist. The best would be to add a new command "Duplicate" to the menu, which lets you
do exactly what you want.

Thank you!

Or what I understand with "Resubmit as new entry", keep the old and create a new entry.
Perhaps you can trigger behavior of resubmit with a switch?
Duplicate Resubmit = 1
(default to 0 - old behavior)

or your idea is good as well.

Or just update the Entrytime if you are using Copy To:
EntryUpdate Copy To = 1

with also solves my case.

(and switch for Move To as well?)


Have a nice evening,

Best regards
Michael

Ok, I implemented a 'Duplicate' command (see this forum for example). I guess this is clearer
than modifying some of the existing functionality like 'resubmit' or 'copy to'. With 'copy to'
you probably want to keep all information from the original entry, including the submission
time, when you move it from one logbook into an other. So if we put an 'EntryUpdate Copy To',
this would not be possible any more. The new version is under CVS.

Wow! You are really fast!

I'm going to try it now!

This works for me :)


Thanks for quick response Stefan!

I could turn the ASCII display off, but the result is not always what you want.
If you have a HTML file without the <html>, <header> and <body> tags, it's ok.
But if you have these tags in your HTML (and this is the normal case), the
resulting page has these tags twice, once from the ELOG page and once from the
attachment. This confuses some browsers, so the resulting page might look
strange. A solution would be to strip these tags from the attachment, but for
that I would have to interprete the HTML attachment completely, which is too
much work.

So I will turn the ASCII display off in the next release, but be prepared to see
some nonexpected results.

Yesterday I mad a little experiment:
I copied in OpenOffice the content from my HTML file, which was not shown correctly
in ELOG, to a new HTML file, uploaded it in ELOG, and now my file was shown
correctly formatted. The only one problem is that not all lines are shown, in the
last line is written ...1753 more lines... . How can I show all lines? Do I have to
recompile ELOG?

The reason for the "...1753 more lines..." is the following: Sometimes people upload
really huge files (10 MB or so). If they are displayed as ASCII attachments, each time
you access the entry you have to DOWNLOAD 10 MB. Sometimes even the browser crashes.
That's why I limited the display of the ASCII attachments to the first 1000 lines. To
see the complete file, just lick on the attachment name.

Concerning the inline display of HTML documents, I'm currently thinking of checking if
there is an <HTML> or <BODY> statement inside the file. If not, it might be just some
HTML fraction in which case it could be shown. If yes, it cannot be shown inline, but
if you click on it's name a new browser windows is opened containing the full document.
Does that sound reasonable to you?

Your config file really helped. You found a bug which happens only if one uses
conditions with lowercase letters, so that's why nobody else saw it before. I
fixed it and released V2.5.8-3
ELOG V3.1.5-3fb85fa6
