Thank you!

Or what I understand with "Resubmit as new entry", keep the old and create a new entry.
Perhaps you can trigger behavior of resubmit with a switch?
Duplicate Resubmit = 1
(default to 0 - old behavior)

or your idea is good as well.

Or just update the Entrytime if you are using Copy To:
EntryUpdate Copy To = 1

with also solves my case.

(and switch for Move To as well?)


Have a nice evening,

Ok, I implemented a 'Duplicate' command (see this forum for example). I guess this is clearer
than modifying some of the existing functionality like 'resubmit' or 'copy to'. With 'copy to'
you probably want to keep all information from the original entry, including the submission
time, when you move it from one logbook into an other. So if we put an 'EntryUpdate Copy To',
this would not be possible any more. The new version is under CVS.

Wow! You are really fast!

I'm going to try it now!

This works for me :)


Thanks for quick response Stefan!

Hello,

I downloaded the latest file and installed but the version number stayed at 
2.5.8-2 and did not change to -3. I stopped and restarted the service and 
reinstalled a couple of times as this is just a demo experimental base I 
had it overwrite everything, but it stilled stayed the same.

Also is there a way to change the display of the default date. It uses 
allot of space in the date column.

Thanks

Sorry I forgot to increase the version number in the source code. So don't worry.

Date format = %A, %B %d

see manual!

When I create a new logbook (I used an existing one as a template) elog  
does not works anymore...  
  
- The problem is on elog user's file.. It seems elogd can't read it  
anymore:  
  
Cannot open file arco.users: Success  
Please use your browser's back button to go back  
  
- Here are some informations:  
sparcserv:/usr/share/elog# ps U elog  
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND  
 5165 ?        Ss     0:08 /usr/sbin/elogd -f /var/run/elogd.pid  
-c /etc/elog.conf -d /var/lib/elog -s /usr/share/elog -p 8080 -n  
sparcserv:/usr/share/elog# id elog  
uid=106(elog) gid=106(elog) gruppi=106(elog)  
sparcserv:/usr/share/elog# ls -lha arco.us*  
-rw-------  1 elog elog 1,8K 2005-03-24 12:21 arco.users  
-rw-r--r--  1 elog elog  473 2005-03-23 10:41 arco.users_bak  
sparcserv:/usr/share/elog#                  
  
giving the arco.users file chmod a+wr does *not* make it work ...  
 
re-chmod-ing to -rw-------  AND restarting the daemon solves the problem 
and everything works nice ...  
 
any idea?

Fixed in CVS.

Hello Stefan,

I have an question for you :o). Is there any solution to use the filtering 
system with an match case solution ? Add a parameter or something else to 
add a solution ? 
I gave you an picture for the explaination.
Wenn I select GA for example, I just want to habe GA in my array and not 
CofoGAr.
Thanks for answer
