Well, I believe your modification won't work. I just tried it with ImageMagick 6.3.8 and it failed. Try to rotate your picture four times, and 
it should be back to the old position. When I use "-comment" instead "-set comment" on a PNG file, this did not work. From the man page it 
tells me:

Version: ImageMagick 6.3.8 01/25/08 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2008 ImageMagick Studio LLC

Usage: convert [options ...] file [ [options ...] file ...] [options ...] file

Image Settings:
  ...
  -comment string      annotate image with comment
  ...

Image Operators:
  ...
  -set property value  set an image property
  ...


So indeed "-comment" and "-set comment" are two different things. I'm afraid you have to upgrade your ImageMagick package in order to make 
this work.

 I could not produce this error here again, so I work on that:

There was a attribute with Type = Date, Preset = $Date.

This added following js code

  for (var i=0 ; i<document.form1.y0.value.length ; i++)
    if ((document.form1.y0.value.charAt(i) < "0" ||
         document.form1.y0.value.charAt(i) > "9")) { break }

This cause in following error 
Fehler: document.form1.y0 is undefined
Quelldatei: http://elog1.bkitech.de/Test-Maengelbericht/?cmd=Neu
Zeile: 16 
After that error none js will be executed.
After remarking the Type line, all work well.

You have to put "Last x" in the menu, not "Last day". Unfortunately by default the label "Last day" does not show up. I fixed this in the current version. But you can yourself start this thing by adding "past1" to the URL, or by making yourself a bookmark in your browser. Like

https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/past1

then the "Last 2 days" will show up.

You cannot make this with the ID, but you can create an additional attribute which will show exactly this behavior. Have a look under

subst <attribute> = %Y-####

in the documentation. 

 Thanks very much, Stefan.

I did not know "Last x" was the appropriate menu option.

Thanks for the info, it saves me some time know this on beforehand.

You're right about the Windows binary, it's a lower SVN revision (2140).

I tried your configuration and got the attribute incrementing correctly:

so I'm a bit at a loss, too. Maybe your browser caches the old page, so try a "Reload" on your browser or clear your cache. Maybe your logbook contains some weird entries which make the incementing break. Try this configuration with an empty logbook. Certainly the configuration options are correct.
