Hi Stefan and Steve,
Do you mean putting the paperclip icon to the left of the 'Thread display' (such as next to the emoticons and
other stuff we can put in this forum)?
I'd be happy with that if it overwrote the "+" in the threaded, collapsed mode; or
that there was a reserved position for the icon in threaded (any variant), and if no
attachment, just a blank.
Or make it something to configure, thus ruining Stefan's weekend and confusing the rest of us ;-)
Regards,
David.

<p>It is occasionally convenient to be able to put the Edit button at the beginning of the line in
list view, e.g. when pages are wider than the screen it saves having to scroll across to find it. Would it
be possible to do something similar with the Attachments button?</p>

<p>I don't understand what you mean. There is only a "Submit" button and a "Choose File"
button:</p>

<p>both are pretty close to the beginning of the line (left side).</p></td>

Ahh, now I see what you mean. Well, first you can configure the amount of things to be shown in the threaded display
already via "Thread display". So maybe you can strip down things to have not too long entries. Second, to get to the
attachment you click on the entry, then click on the attachment. So to save you one click, it would cost me a few hours
of work (literally during the weekend). So I'm not very convinced |

In my version of firefox, the thread display usually word-wraps once I get to the emty-enty entry, so the paperclip icon being at the
end of the thread display is not a disaster. And let's be grateful that it does not pop up and say "you appear to be reporting
a bug in elog..." |

Thanks for all of the contributions - all I meant in my original suggestion was that I'd like to be able to define which column(s) should hold the Attachments paperclip in the Full and Summary List Views, which I use all the time, to reduce the need to scroll horizontally on every page. This would be similar to being able to specify where the Edit control appears by specifying the Edit attribute in the "List Display" list.
... and I really didn't want to ruin another of Stefan's weekends or confuse anybody! |

Ok, now I got it. I will put that request on the wish list. For the moment, you can restrict the number of attributes shown in the list view with "List display = ...". This way you can maybe display less so that your table gets narrower and you save some scrolling. |

Hello,
I feel that the filter result could be confusing and unexpected when "COLLAPSE TO LAST" is enabled: you
filter the first entry but you show the last one. What is filtered doesn't correspond with what is shown (look
the attached example).
I suggest to implement an option to let the user decide which entry (first or last) should be retrieved for
filtering (a tentative patch is attached).
Thank you
Gabriele
P.S. A similar behaviour occurs when you sort the logbook: it could appear as not sorted because you sort the
first entry but the last one is shown. |
