I think with the latest Imagemagick from brew (6.9.4-7) that pdf thumnails no longer get made; the attachment is there but the message "Cannot create thumbnail, please check ImageMagick installation" apears instead of the thumbnails.  I couldn't make out from elogd -v 3 why they failed, but I couldn't make out the exact convert command that was failing.  This is on MacOS 10.11.5 and I think the updated version ofImagemagick was the last thing that changed before it failed.

Since I posted that, there have been multiple versions of Imagemagick released through brew for the Mac in the last few weeks, and I'm now using 6.9.4-9, which seems to work fine with thumbnails again, indeed, I noticed that as soon as 6.9.4-8 was released, I was back to normal, but thanks for the debugging pointer.

Was wondering  if it was possible to increase the height that the text box
for an attribute is displayed as. I would like to construct a form for a
weekly report which consist of a couple of text area attributes. I have
found the format option and can see how you can increase the width and
number of characters but not the height. This is what is have in the config
file for the log book:

-----------------------
[Weekly Reports]
Comment = The logbook for people to enter their weekly reports

Attributes = Author,Position, Achievements_last_week, Plans for Coming Week,
Issues and Concerns, Other Items to Report
Format Achievements_last_week = 0,messageframe,attribvalue,90,1000

Show text = 0
Enable Attachments = 0
---------------------------

Basically what I would like is for the text field for 4 of the attributes to
be something like the text area for the main body. Is that possible or is a
better way to incorporate the form into the main body somehow?

Thanks for any help. Been using elog for about a month now as a logging tool
for our IT team and this is the first time i have had to ask anything thanks
to the great documentation and the example. Great job Stefan

Sorry I didn't see the wishlist but I see what you mean. I have just found out
that pasting content that contains more than 1 line into an attribute field
crashes elog.  

I have a play with the Preset text setting and see what I can come up with. By the
way there is a spelling mistake in the config.html page. In the Conditional
Attributes section you use the Preset text setting as an example but have spelt it
as "Prset text ="

Thank you for you help

Hi

I was just wondering if it is possible to define what logbooks you want
mirrored in the [Global] part of the elogd.conf file. I want to mirror the
logbooks that I use for work from my laptop to the work server but I have
set up other logbooks that I will use for uni and other non work projects. 

I have set the mirroring up in [Global] using the cron based settings but I
am guessing that is going to try and mirror all the logbooks. 

;The mirror settings
Mirror server = tanami:8080
;Mirror the contents of the elogd.conf file for individual logbooks but not
global settings
Mirror config = 1
;Mirror every hour between 07:00 and 20:00 during the week day
Mirror cron = 0 7-20 * * 1-5
Mirror user = john

I gather my personal logbooks won't sync across as I get an "error accessing
remote logbook" so that is fine but was just wondering if you can set it so
that you can define in global what logbooks you want to sync.

thank you
John

Thank you very much Stefan.
