I noticed you have 1714, is that the latest binary or your compiled CVS release?


Try this one: http://midas/elog/download/windows/elog262-3.exe which is the most recent.

Hi,

Would it be possible to add an 'append' option to the elog.exe client program? I would like to be able to write a simple script for adding images into a logbook - i.e. right-click in Windows and click 'add to log', or click a button in LabVIEW or Matlab and have an image immediately added to the last log entry. There would also have to be an option to either return a list of entry IDs, or just append to the last entry. Is this possible/likely?


Unfortunately it is not simple under Windows to extend the right-click functionality. What I do is to use a snapshot program (like HoverSnap). Triggered with a definable hot key, it grabs a region of the screen and puts it into a GIF file. Then you can attach it to an elog. I agree it takes a couple of clicks, but it's still a quick thing.

Two ways:

  • Submit your entry in plain mode (insted of ELCode)
  • Put a \ in front of anything which is turned into a smiley, so ;) gets converted into Wink, but \;) does not get converted

I realise that's possible, but things are getting converted into smileys that aren't intended to be smileys. Specifically, when I enter a question in brackets, the end bracket is converted into a smiley. (Like this?) should be (Like this\?). That is very annoying, and to be honest, I don't need the smileys. An option to switch them off would be the best thing.

I agree that the ?) smiley is annoying, so I changed it to ?-) which should prevent it from showing up in questions in brackets. I updated this server (you can see the effect above), the modification is committed to subversion.

Thanks a lot! I'm going to pester you though - it would be really good if there was an option to turn them off completely. Surely it can't be a huge amount of work... ?

I think you misunderstand me. I was asking whether it would be possible for the elog command-line client program to have an "append to existing entry" option. That program's actually just what I need though - thanks!
