If you do not want to use the mirroring, then you can extract a single entry with
the "hidden" download command. Like for this entry:

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1039?cmd=Download

Tell your browser to save the result locally and you have a file with just this
message. Note however that if you ship these files around, and combine them with an
existing logbook by copying them to the logbook directory, you could have two
entries with the same ID, in which case elogd would produce unpredictable results.

I want exchange the logs as files and not with the mirroring function. My 
collegue and me are already exchanging all our project files, so the logs from 
ELOG could be included in this exchange.

Many many Thanks for all Stefan ! :o)

I implemented a "datetime" option which does exactly what you want. All you
need is a

Type Record Date = datetime

in your config file. The new option is present in version 2.5.8-2 and ready to
download.

No. One file per day was chosen in order to keep the number of files small.
For which purpose would you need such an option?

Is there an option that elog creates one logfile for one entry in the
database? It seems that there elog is creating one logfile for one day.

running ethereal I found a bug, hope this is the problem hanging my firefox (I think
we have a good chance it is :-P)

when I have thuimbs enabled, elog returns for the ".thumb" (or ".whatever".. thumb's
extension should be transparent to elog .. uhm... it can't be .. this is a problem)

anyway, having attached a pdf (a big one) and aving attachment display enabled (with
my thumbnails generated by my script)  elog returns for the displayed thumb a
Content-Type for application/x-pdf, instead of the correct image/jpeg. I think this is
the problem.

The only way for elog to know what is the correc\t content type for thumbnails is to
get it from a configuration parameter, becouse it is a chioce of the external script
used to generate them to choose the type of thumbs (jpeg, png, gif ... )
One conf parameter defaulting to jpeg may be the solution

Yes it did. You were the first one using an attribute containing a dot inside a
required attribute ("Maint."). This crashed JavaScript. I found a workaround and
implemented it.

I just release 2.5.8-2 which contains both fixes.
