I fixed that in revision 1.496 (see CVS).

That has been fixed in meantime.

There is an elegant way to achieve this already now: Use an RSS reader (like
SharpReader for Windows or Straw from Linux) and subscribe to a logbook. Then don't
read the entries directly in the logbook, but read them in your RSS reader. Once you
read them, they become automatically marked read.

Has been fixed as well.

> - Use "and" and "or" operands in queries                                        

Elog supports now regular expressions. So for a "<str1> OR <str2>" one can write

<str1>|<str2>

and for a "<str1> AND <str2>" one can write

<str1>.*<str2>|<str2>.*<str1>

Looks a bit complicated, but maybe some day we will get some code which rewrites
"AND" and "OR" as regular expressions.

It seems that the quick filter searches are now (2.5.4-6) case sensitive.
Could you add an option to specify this in the config file?  Or does it
exist already?

Hi, we are using ELOG for keeping track of a server maintainance.  I've
translated some of ELOG's strings.  The file is attached.  There will be
more translations, when I get inspired again ;-)
  806   Wed Nov 24 00:42:10 2004 Question Rich Persauddev2id at yahoo dot comRequestAll2.5.4-6Attribute Negative Search
Is there any way to search for all attributes _except_ a certain value?
  808   Wed Nov 24 00:45:43 2004 Idea Rich Persauddev2id at yahoo dot comRequestAll2.5.4-6Display links for multiple-option attributes
Can "Display" links work with multiple options? 

"ABC | DEF" is currently one link.

Ideally, it would be two links, each formatted per the "Display" string.
  809   Wed Nov 24 00:48:17 2004 Idea Rich Persauddev2id at yahoo dot comRequestAll2.5.4-6Non-wildcard or numeric search for numeric attribute
Is there a way to disable wildcard matching in searches?

A search for "1" returns "1" and "10" and "11".  

Is there a way to perform an explict match?

Could there be a numeric match if the attribute type is numeric?
  810   Wed Nov 24 00:50:27 2004 Idea Rich Persauddev2id at yahoo dot comRequestAll2.5.4-6Multi-parent relationships between logbook items
Could there be a multi-value option for free text fields, e.g. comma-
separated?  This would allow multi-parent relationships between log items. 

E.g. specifying 12, 15 as a value would create unique Display links 
for "12" and "15", based on the Display specification for that attribute.

This would be like "multiple fixed options", for the purpose of formatting.
