I fixed that in revision 2269. So now elog scans a complete branch and searches for the last entry in the branch. 
You can check again the branch above on the forum, should work now.

Is there any way to directly paste an image from a Windows clipboard into an elog entry page?  It's obvious
for uploading a file, but many of my users say that they never make a file, they just want to paste in an image
already onscreen.

This is a limitation of the FCKEditor used inside ELOG, and actually of the whole browser concept under Windows. 
There are some extensions to Firefox which let your paste an image as an attachment, but none for doing this right 
into the text body. For some discussion about this have a look at

for example.

Hmmm.  Well, does that mean that it is easier under Linux?  I have to confess I couldn't figure that out either.  But
I'd be delighted to have Yet Another Reason to tell the users that "it works under Linux, maybe you should switch...."

I'm not sure, but I doubt that it would work under Linux. It's a general security issue: If your browser has free access to 
your clipboard, then what happens if you for example copy-and-paste a password in some application, then forget your password 
in the clipboard, then you surf to a malicious website, and a script on that site grabs your clipboard contents? This would 
be a severe security hole on ANY operating system.

For our application we have a lot of very common events we would like to log.  It would be preferable that for certain events/entries we could setup a single button / quick entry method.  Is there away to accomplish this?

You could write a script/program that calls the ELOG client with the necessary attributes to submit the entry (see the user's guide).

 This would be of value for me as well. I'm trying to develop a event log for a research ship. Thanks. -ben
