 | Richard Stamper | r.stamper@rl.ac.uk | Bug report | Windows | 2.7.0 | Quick Filter including Subtext applied overzealously? |
When there are two or more Quick Filters available, and one of them is on the Subtext attribute, once one of the other filters has its value changed the null text for the Subtext selection criterion (namely, "-- Text --") is used as a genuine selection criterion, thus typically preventing any entries from matching.
This is for v2.7.0-1961 with both Mozilla 2.0.0.9 and IE 6 on Windows XP Professional SP2, and I think has appeared with this release. You can demonstrate the behaviour on this forum:
- Go to http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/
- Quick filter on dates in the "Last Month" and nothing is listed. The URL is now http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?last=31&Subtext=--+Text+--
- Set the date filter back to "-- All Entries --" and the spurious subtext filter remains; the URL is now http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?Subtext=--+Text+--
- Delete the "-- Text --" value in the filter box and everything reappears; the URL is back to http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/

Have you tried tables in HTML form? Even better! Just switch the encoding from ELCode to HTML (starting from version 2.7.0). |

Well, then people will come up and ask: I can see some attachment name in my email, but the attachment is missing, what can I do?. So they would not find the configuration option as you did not, and complain here. You never can make everybody happy 
An alternative approach however would be to limit the attachment size. If above 1 MB for example, do not send it. Then make this a flexible parameter (maybe someone wants 2 MB). I will think about that. |
Of course you're right. I suggested using "111" because then in email notification there is a link to the attachment.
Which for me is enough . But there always will be someone that's not happy.
Your solution is nice but then attachments will be sent in a bit inconsistent way.
Easier would be to make it more obvious in the documentation.
I don't know put it in the FAQ or something (under: "Why my posts with large attachments are submitted so slowly" ).
Best Regards,
Konrad

There is such an option:
Email format = 47
This tells elog to send email notifications without attachments. Anyhow I would not recommend to send big attachments as emails, since most email systems won't allow you that. Since the attachments are base64 encoded, the encoding can also take quite a long time. |

Hi,
| Jacky Li wrote: | Ok,
I noticed that the email notification got two copies of the attached files to elog post. It looks like the cause is
between elog and the mail server. When there is email notification, the attachement is sent along to the mail server and that's taking a long time and there are two copies of the attachment.
| Jacky Li wrote: | Hi,
I did more testing..if I suppress email notification, it is fast. There is something wrong there.

Indeed I can confirm that without email notification it's blazing fast. I haven't observed attachments being send twice. Though I got two indentical entries in the elog.
On my box I'm using sendmail. Until there is some fix in the way elog comunicates with mailer (if it is possible that is) could we have an option to suppress sending attachments in email notification?
Best Regards,
