Stefan,

perhaps there should be something like the bold text below in elogd.c:

int process_http_request(const char *request, int i_conn)^M
...

   /* extract cookies */^M
   if ((p = strstr(request, "Cookie:")) != NULL) {^M
      p += 6;^M
      do {^M
         p++;^M
         while (*p && *p == ' ')^M
            p++;^M
         strlcpy(str, p, sizeof(str));^M
         for (i = 0; i < (int) strlen(str); i++)^M
            if (str[i] == '=' || str[i] == ';')^M
               break;^M
         if (str[i] == '=') {^M
            str[i] = 0;^M
            p += i + 1;^M
            for (i = 0; *p && *p != ';' && *p != '\r' && *p != '\n' && i < (int) sizeof(cookie); i++)
                      cookie[i] = *p++;

...

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?

Thanks

You cannot directly paste a screen shot into an elog entry. Use HoverSnap (Windows) or ksnapshot (linux) to produce directly an image file, then you need only two mouse clicks (browse and select file). There is also an Add-On for FireFox called "dragdropupload" which can be used for drag-and-drop a file into the attachment file selector. 

 I see. But what I want to do now is writing a script to make a elog entry, is that possible? I mean, I don't know if the log entry I generated could be recognized by elog.  e.g. the following text is generated by me, no through elog, is there a way to let them shown on elog?
