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.
icon3.gif   Email recall function similar to what exists say in something like Outlook, posted by Niall Dooley on Fri Mar 6 13:49:19 2009 

Hi,

Is there a way perhaps of implementing an email recall feature into E-Log? In other words, to recall an email before the recipient (s) read the email originating from the e-log. Something perhaps along the lines of what exists in something like Outlook.

Thks in advance.

Regards,

Niall

No, this is not implemented. What I usually do is to check "Suppress Email notification", submit and revise my entry. Once I'm satisfied, I edit again and do not check "Suppress Email notification" so that the email is finally sent out.

icon3.gif   Adding texts for each attachment, posted by Dongwook Jang on Mon Mar 16 22:33:23 2009 

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.

Indeed, uploading images over a satellite connection does not crash the development ELOG server available from SVN.  Our user was unable to 
crash 
elogd (or upload an image) and reports "The upload window would complain about an "upstream server", but the site was still there."

Thank you very much for your time and help (with both of the issues reported in this thread).

Sincerely,
Devin
