That's not correct, it is implemented. Just add an attribute for that. Assume you have problem reports, so you 
add

Attributes = ..., Fixed
Options Fixed = boolean
Quick filter = Fixed

If you add a new entry, "Fixed" is false by default. All replies to that entry will contain then the same flag. 
Now if you want to mark the whole thread as fixed, do the following:

- go into list display
- display all entries in threaded mode
- click on "Select"
- select the thread you want to mark as fixed and click "Edit"
- now keep all attributes, but check the "Fixed" check box

and voila, the whole thread will contain "Fixed = 1". Using the quick filter, you can now show all fixed threads 
with one click.

Hi Stefan,

Must have missed it when the fixed/not fixed thread marking got implimented.

Anyhow, my main point would still apply for where the thread is not yet fixed, but is in one of a number of possible
states  (waiting, panic, work-in-progress....).  Clearly you can label the latest entry in a thread with the latest
status, and icon, but when in collapsed mode, you only see the initial entry.  If the latest entry were shown
(optionally), then one can tell at a glance in the collapsed listings which entry may need direct attention.

If you always mark the whole thread with states (waiting, panic, work-in-progress,...) as described in my last posting, 
then you will see this from the thread initial entry as well. If you use icons, then even more. The only disadvantage 
is that you have to discipline yourself always modifying the whole thread and not only one entry in that thread.

Hello Stefan and Elog fans,

Is there a way to find entries with the words program and error when then are not contiguous in the text?

Thanks,
--Mike

Dear Stefan,

First of all, I appreciate that you made such a nice program. I've used elog for more than 5 years and it was wonderful experince to me and my research work was very productive with this.

I have a suggestion to you to improve this while I was using elog. If users can add texts or comments for each attachment, it will be great.

I am not sure if someone was already suggested this or it is already in your wish list.

Thank you.

Dear Dongwook,

no, this is not implemented and also was never requested. The way most people work is that images are included directly in the text, and the the text goes along with that.

So for example if I want to show you the ELOG logo, I put it here: elog.png 

If I want to add a comment for an attachment, I write it in the text and just refence the attachment with link. This way is more flexible that adding just a line of text to each attachment, since you can write several lines in the text, make a table etc. etc.

Dear Stefan,

Maybe I used elog with very inefficient way so far. The way you suggested requires putting figures somewhere else, right?

Elog saves attachments on the machine that elog is running. I want to store figures in elog.

The logo you showed above is stored in this entry?

Thank you.

If you embed an image (via the "insert image" button in the task bar) this image is stored as an attachment, but the actualy attachment is hidden and the image is shown in-line. Yes, it is stored on the server where elogd runs.
