[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
since I have changed it to the datetime type so that it will sort properly.

Yes, of course I mean '$entry time', sorry for the misspelling.

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?

I just upgraded to elog 2.7.5 from 2.6.4 on my Debian system. Here is some feedback:

I just ran into the following bug:
I have a logbook where entries have several attributes, among which several dates. All of these are set to "Type <attr> = date".
If I use the "Select" action, tag several entries and subsequently chose "Edit", the values of all date attributes are wiped. All other
