Thanks, Stefan.

installed elog 2.5.5 agin, same effekt with "back" / "zurück". checked the 
language file eloglang.german witch seem ok for me and the translations are 
well done. removed then in eloglang.germen the traslation for back and checked 
this: still back was viewed. reinserted the translation "Zurück" (just this 
word!)and checked again: everithing looks fine, no longer back, correctly 
Zurück on the button.
absolutly no idea why and whats the difference was! bus it works...
thank's stefan!  :-)

Thanks much!! I can't believe I missed seeing those options. Works great. (There is a 
danger to having the source code. You tend to read it instead of looking at the way the 
program works )

BTW,
Is there any way to turn off the Text column at the right side of the list?

there is a guide on the contributions logbook at

elog:Contributions/11

for securing Elog using SSL and Apache.

Thank you very much Stefan.

Perfect it works !! :-)

yes I know, but it could be a "placebo" :-P .. we are using the elog in a lan so it
could be a good temporary solution ...

can you point me to some documentation I can read to be able to do it? should I edit
the css file ?

yes, of course...

can be usefull to be able to "optionally" execute some external program (a sort of
pipe) in order to be (eventually) able to set a "filter program" for attachments.
The same way an MTA does with procmail I mean.

in this case one has to be able to access both to the original image and the
processed one...

No, I would have to add another option to the configuration file, it's not yet implemented.

Executing and external program is possible via the 

Execute new/edit/delete = ...

command. While you can pass attribute values to the program to be executed, it is not
possible right now to pass attachment names, although this could be easily added. What
would be harder is to reformat the whole entry. If you just downsample an image, that
would be ok. But if you want to keep the original, you would have to modify the logbook
entry to contain n*2 attachments afterwards, which would not be easy.

So I don't see a simple way of achieving what you want. Sorry.
