Yes, "Save Drafts = 0" does the trick. But it is the "zero-option": trivial, but not satisfying ;-)
Warning: the "back" button of the browser has a very undesired effect: the entry
is then converted into a draft and not shown anymore in list view! |

Well, the "undesired effect" you describe is exactly the reason for having drafts. Somebody works on a lengthy message, then the browser dies,
or the user by accident hits the "back" button and (by accidnt, ehem...) confirms the dialog popping up which says "changes will be lost".
In that case the draft mechanism should take care of that the lengthy message is not lost. That's where it is for. If one does not like it, one can |

Hello,
In my opinion, there should be a "close/return" button (discard changes), even with the drafts enabled, but effectively there will
have to be several saves made (at least before/after). |

Hi Stefan,
actually what you refer to as the "quick and dirty" solution is probably the only feasible one: to store a copy
of the entry in the browser and restore that copy with a "cancel" button.
Otherwise you would need a full-fledged revision management,
to deal with multiple copies of the same entry open in several browsers.
Yet, that does not solve the "problem" |

Dear all,
there seems to be still lots of confusion with the new "draft modus" introduced in elog 3.1.2. Here is how it works:
If you edit an old or new entry, your changes are written to the elog server every few seconds. The entry in the elog database is marked as "draft". |

In version 3.1.2-416db9f I implemented a "Restore" button, which should fix the second drawback. If you press it, you should be able to go
back to where you started when editing an entry. |

Hi Stefan,
when one creates a new entry, and a draft entry exists for the logbook, then a menu appears (see attachment).
If one select "Neuen
Eintrag anlegen" then it should ignore the draft and create a new entry.
This feat is done by adding a "&ignore=1" to |
