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.

{5} Show Attributes = Type, Logged by, Key words, File, File path, Authors, Title, Patent number, Year, First page, Elsevier format Patent

 

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.

The "/var/run/elogd.pid" file is created from elogd to indicate under which PID it is running. If you run elogd once under root, this file then belongs to root. If you afterwards run it under a user account, it cannot delete or change the file belonging to root. In that case, just delete that file manually.

Quote:

When a process starts via the normal startup process it is started as root then the process changes to run as nobody -- so the pid file will always be owned by root. Yes? Then, shell commands wil not be able to deal with the pid file, right? Why would the shell exec want to deal with the PID file anyway?

Just curious. As long as this does not pose a problem then I will nto worry about it.
