I fixed the code to properly return "404 Not Found" in case a non-existing file is requested.

Thanks for the fix, I committed it. Please give it a quicky try sinc I cannot test it here (don't use webserver authentication...)

I found the reason of the bug:
In line 27441 of elogd.cxx the http_user is overwritten by the user saved in the sid_ array as a sideeffect of the sid_check function:
sid_check(getparam("sid"), http_user)

It can solved by changing elogd.cxx @ line 27441

Remark: I have used the variables i & thumb_name of the function in a local context.

On a new MacBook Pro (Silicon M3), I installed version 3.1.5 build 23df00d9.  The application appears to work normally, except that, after a short while, the indicated attachment count (paperclips in the attachment column of the Summary view) starts to increment fairly rapidly with each time that I visit the page.  Attachment counts appear even for records that don't have any attachments.  When I access records individually, either those with or without real attachments, everything looks OK.  Any insights as to what might be causing this, and how to correct?

Installation went smoothly using the (now longstanding) MacOS installation instructions, with one small exception: When doing the "sudo launchctl load ..." step, there is occasionally an I/O error of some kind.  (Sorry, I don't have an exact transcript of the error at the moment, but it appears to refer to line 5 of a script.)

Many thanks,

Andreas W.

A quick follow-up concerning the secondary matter I mentioned in my last post, namely the issues I had with the deprecated "sudo launchctl load ..." and "sudo launchctl unload ..." subcommands currently provided in the ELOG installation instructions for MacOS.  I found a solution to this -- will post it in a separate thread.

The strangely auto-incrementing attachment counts in the Summary view are still present, and I'm curious if anyone else has experienced those.  Also, I could not find a way to customize the Summary view such that the final (rightmost) column with the attachment counts can be suppressed.  That would at least put the problem out of sight until a developer can intervene and fix the bug.

I'm traveling right now and will only next week be able to look into that, so please be patient for a few more days.

Hello,

I've noticed that many times, I start an elog and continue editing adding to a few hours later, then I submit and it deletes everything I entered after the last time a draft was saved. I paid more attention and saw that it saves a draft after about a few minutes, and if I wait too long before submitting, it doesn't let me re-save the draft. My workaround is to copy all text before I submit, so if it ignores whatever I entered after the last saved version, I can edit it and paste it back in. Is there a setting someplace that I can change to fix this problem?

Thanks!

Hello,

I started using the record date feature in one logbook, since we plan to copy over old entries Joplin/Onenote. When starting a new entry, I see that the record date is automatically set to the current date, but when I reply to an elog, the record date is automatically set to the record date of the elog I'm replying to. Is there a way to fix this?

The problem with the attachment paperclips has been fixed in the current version.
