Hm, looking through the source, there are many many places where PDF files are treated differently than strictly image filetypes (PNG, etc.). This makes sense in the context of multi-page documents. 

Still, I like using PDFs for vector plots... I suppose I should also confess to the following modification I've made to my ELOG for treating PDFs like images in drag-and-drop uploading.

I added this feature in version 2.2.3, so now you can click on

http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/Forum/?mode=threaded&reverse=1&npp=8&Author=$long_name

and see all your entries.

That depends on how you specify what gets displayed in a search (with 
the "Display search" option for example). If you try the following link:

http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/Forum/?mode=summary&all=1

you see that all attributes are displayed from the three logbooks in this 
installation.

How does the corresponding elogd.cfg entry look like for the
display search command ? - I can't reproduce this behaviour...

Ok, finally I can confirm the problem. It will be fixed from Version 2.2.4 
on.

The option

Show Attributes =

has been changed to

Show Attributes Edit =

to distinguish between normal entry display an edit mask. So please adjust your configuration file and everything will be fine again.
