Hi Stefan,

After 21.Oct, all the emails sent out by this discussion form now are addressed to

ELOG@ananke.jtan.com
the name of the server my mails are sent to.

Before that the emails were addressed to 

ELOG@emix.psi.ch

Obviouisly my real email address is there, in the headers (as it would appear for a BCC)

The only consequence for me was these emails turned up in the wrong mailbox, but perhaps it has wider implications?

Hi Stefan,

I must have seen this before, but only just "noticed" it.

If you attach a picture or pdf to the first entry in a tread, there is then a paperclip after the thread display
line.  This shows up in threaded view or collapsed threaded view.

If you then attach a picture or pdf to a subsequent entry, the paperclip icon does not show up in threaded
display, (it is still there on the initial entry) but if the attachment is to the latest entry it shows up in
treaded collapsed display (collapse on last=1, of course).  If collapse on last=0, then initial entry shows on
threaded, collapsed, and that has the icon as expected.

When the icon does show, you can click on it and get the correct attachment to show/launch reader or whatever.

It would appear to be a bug that the attachment icon does not appear in the threaded display (for any entry
other than the initial one).

(sorry about the first posting, hit the wrong key sequence in error)

Regards,

David Pilgram.

I may have made this sound as if the issue occurs if the first entry in a thread has an attachment; in fact it
happens whether or not there is an attachment to the first entry.

Hope this makes matters a bit clearer.

Hi Stefan and Steve,

Do you mean putting the paperclip icon to the left of the 'Thread display' (such as next to the emoticons and
other stuff we can put in this forum)?

I'd be happy with that if it overwrote the "+" in the threaded, collapsed mode; or
that there was a reserved position for the icon in threaded (any variant), and if no 
attachment, just a blank.  

Or make it something to configure, thus ruining Stefan's weekend and confusing the rest of us ;-)

Regards,

David.

Thanks Stefan!

(But I'll wait and see if you do anything about Steve's point...so I'll download "after work"!).

Ahh, now I see what you mean. Well, first you can configure the amount of things to be shown in the threaded display
already via "Thread display". So maybe you can strip down things to have not too long entries. Second, to get to the
attachment you click on the entry, then click on the attachment. So to save you one click, it would cost me a few hours
of work (literally during the weekend). So I'm not very convinced Wink


In my version of firefox, the thread display usually word-wraps once I get to the emty-enty entry, so the paperclip icon being at the
end of the thread display is not a disaster. And let's be grateful that it does not pop up and say "you appear to be reporting
a bug in elog..." Wink
  66625   Mon Nov 23 11:53:22 2009 Question David PilgramDavid.Pilgram@epost.org.ukQuestionLinux2.7.7-2266Attachments and images of attachments
Hi Stefan,

I attached a 12 page (22kB) pdf file - no images - to an entry, but elog only converted the first 8 pages to
images (.png).  This is reproducable, i.e. a different small multipage pdf file produced the same number of images.

The size of the pdf file does not seem to be a problem, a single page pdf file with a lot of images in it
attached as expected.

Is this correct, or a defined limitation?
