icon13.gif   Conflict between Select-Edit and attribute types, posted by Richard Stamper on Thu Dec 11 17:50:35 2008 
When doing a Select->Edit operation, if an attribute has a type of "numeric" and the records selected already have (some) values for that
attribute, then the "- keep original values -" message that is inserted to indicate that the values should be preserved causes the type check
to fail.

 I would like to be able to substitute some attribute values when an entry is duplicated. I don't see Subst on Duplicate available in the cfg file
syntax. Can you add that?

[quote="Dennis Seitz"]OK, now I realize how stupid I sound here. To partially answer my own question: $entry time is a string and Last Edit is now a number

I finally found some time to address this problem. It is indeed related to the fact that the new number gets assigned when you click on 'New'.
So if two people edit the new entries at the same time, they get assigned the same number. To fix this problem, I made the tag generation work with the
'Subst' command, which is evaluated at the entry submission, and not when you click on 'New'. So to make this work, you need to upgrade

icon5.gif   How to attach screen shot in elog, posted by weiluo on Tue Dec 2 01:10:39 2008 
I want to know if there were some way to insert a screen shot directly into the log book instead of going through the "save-attach" procedure.
i.e. add some plug in button to do this under Linux?
Or, can I just make a plain log file "xxxx.log" and put it into the directory? Will that work?
