This patch is now officially in the GIT repository. 

Hi all, 

Is it just my system or do others have this odd issue.

I have a pdf file which is 'upside-down', I attached it to an elog entry, and the .png image thumbnail was
generated.  Now this too was upside-down, so I tried to use the left (or right) rotation buttons along the top
of the image in elog to do a 180 degree rotation.
The first 90 degree rotation was fine, but the second attempt just made a smaller image.  
It happens with various pdf files generated by various software (in case).
I also tried it with a jpg file, in that case the second attempt enlarged the image.

I could not find any way to actually invert the .png image using elog; but I was surprised that a second
rotation ddid something different (change magnification) rather than nothing at all if it could only cope with a
90 degree rotation.

It's not a vital fix for me, but I have found the thumbnail (png) manipulation functions have a few rough edges,
so when necessary I use xv or gimp on the .png file to get what I want.

Or is this just my system?

Forget the previous post:
I cannot reproduce the problem with the latest version of elogd (2.9.2-2475).

Actually I can confirm a similar issue with 2.9.2:

when I create a new entry with the default "HTML" encoding and then swap to "plain", the text area is cluttered with HTML code (see attachment new_entry.txt)

I did notice it, but I did not pay much attention to it. But I agree is should be fixed. But in my case it could be related to a firefox add-on "It's all text" that uses java script to modify the HTML code.

I just tried on the demo logbook:

https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/14

and it worked fine in rotating the image twice. Can you try yourself and find out if it's related to your installation if ImageMagic, or the actual image file?

Hi Stefan,

Well I didn't crash the server this time, and I could invert the image in the demo logbook by doing two rotations.
But, this is elog v2.9.0-2435, and I am using v2.9.2-2475.  And I remember there was a recent issue about the image manipulation at some point, so I went to the
download section to read the subversion listing to find where this occurred.  But you've changed subversion!  I couldn't find my way around it, so I not only could
I find the changefile that showed what happened for each subversion issue, but even how I could download the current (or indeed any past) subversion issue.

As far as I can recall, you made a change, I reported an issue, and you undid the change, or partially undid it.  Do you know when this was?  Could it be relivent?

I upgraded to V2.9.2, so please try again.

By default, elog enties are sorted by their ID number.  When viewing a logbook in Full or Summary, they are
shown in strict order of ID.  In Threaded, entries are shown in strict order of ID for the latest entry of each
thread, and then previous entries (in reply to) back from the latest one.  

In collapsed mode, it is only the starting entry of each thread is shown (or the latest one if "collapse to
last" chosen, but that's a detail).

I have a couple of logbooks where I'd like the default sorting to be by another numeric attribute that I enter. 

Now this works fine in Full or Summary mode.  In threaded mode (e.g. default for this forum, where every entry
is shown but are grouped by thread), it works in as much as all the entres are there and in order, but it
doesn't quite look the same as when sorting by ID - the replies are not each offset further right beneath the
entry it is in reply to, but all just slightly offset to the first entry.  

If you try to [completely] collapse the threaded mode to just one line per threaded topic - it doesn't.  Looks
(almost) the same as threaded.

I was hoping to get the list of entries collapsed to one line per thread, in order of the numeric attribute, but
I cannot seem to get this to happen.   Have I missed something here?  Or is it possible at all?
