Because for 'Entry type'='InProceedings' one needs:
'Author', 'Title', 'Booktitle', 'Year', 'Volume', 'Number'.
So, depending on the entry type that was chosen the entry mask should change,
with the required fields first and the not valid fields should not be shown
at all, which can nicely be done with the 'hidden attributes' config option.
Only the sorting (of the entry mask!) is missing! :)

Ok, I put that on my wish list. So once the second or third person asks for it, I will
implement it (;-)

I'm asking! :-)

I have a few Extendable Options attributes, and it would be extremely nice if they got sorted as users put them 
in. So that when you select the drop-down box, alle options are sorted.

Agreed - that would be nice

Can you give me some more information? Can you see attachments in the Demo Logbook like here ? What about other browsers? Can you try to start elogd without keep-alives (using the "-k" flag)?

 Hi. I have a same problem... It works well with other browsers, like firefox and internet explorer, but not with safari (with and without keep-alives). 

The demo logbook in the link works fine with safari, though. 

Thanks.

Thanks for reporting this bug. I finally found the reason and fixed it in revision 2191. I made a new release 2.7.6 which contains all the collected bug fixes from the last few months.

Displaying images in the list view is possible by going to the "Find" page and
checking "Display full entries" and "Show attachments". This can even be
automatized by putting

Start page = ?mode=full&attach=1

into the configuration file.

PS, EPS and PDF files cannot be displayed inline by the browser (at least not
the browsers I know). I guess what you want is that users submit PDFs, and elog
should convert the PDF automatically into JPG and display a reduced version of
it. Unfortunately this is not possible, and it never will be, since one of the
design prinicples of elog is to be independent of any other package, and with
the requested functionality you would need lots of helper functions (like
ghostview, pbmtools, etc.) which some of which are not present under Windows.

Using a HTML <img width=100 ...> does not help. The image is then shown in a
smaller scale, but still the full picture has to be transferred. For making
thumbnails, you again need external libraries (see point above).

So if you want extensive image processing, you might be better of with a picture
gallery like applications, but maybe the automatic attachment display shown
above helps a little bit.
