i have been using elogbook V2.7.6 on my XP machine for a number of years. I ahve recently upgraded to windows 8 and the reply function on my entries has changed. I can now see the previous entrys in HTML format rather than the reply box which used to appear and also my ability to upload attachments and paste working linls is removed. Do i need to upgrade to the latest version and do i ned to back up my previous entries and how do i do this?

Thank you

Upgrading Windows should not change the behavior of ELOG, unless you made a mistake during re-installation of ELOG. Can you post a picture on how your reply looks like, it's hard for me to understand what you write.

> Okey, found it. waitpid() in my_shell() is not protected against the periodic alarm signal. (UNIX signals are evil).

Acknowledged. Thanks for the fix. I added it to the development branch.

 Dear Stefan,

I am having a log book with the 5 logbooks. All other books are working fine except only one, every time while submitting the entry I am getting a error message.

I have attached the screen shot along with the error log file.

Please help me in solving this bug.

Regards

It's hard to guess from the information you sent what is wrong. The program just crashes, after the email notification has been sent successfully. Can you check if the one logbook which is not working is using some path for the logbook directory which it cannot write to due to access limitations? Just a guess.

 Dear Stefen,

I am attaching the config file details of the the logbook which crashes. Please check and reply.

Reverse sort = 1

The maximum number of attributes is limited to 100, you have 111. Plus you use the attributes "Start Time" and "End Time" more than once. In a future version of ELOG I will add some checking for this, so that you get a proper error message. You can increase the number of attributes, but then you have to recompile elog. I would suggest separating your information into several smaller logbooks.
