Actually my report was NOT about this limitation. You have it - it is fine.
The problem is that I add some 'zombies' or dead files to my logbook.

BTW is there a tool to check the 'integrity' of a logbook? That all
attachments are in place,  there are no dead files, etc. I perfectly
understand that it is not _highly_ desired or needed, but with the two last
problems (auto-removing of attached files and silent adding a new ones with
20+ attachments) I have doubts that our logbook in a good state. And we just
started to use it. And I am still so excited about it!!

Uhhh, Mr. "monster of number of attachments" gave it's stroke! Well, we never 
had such large number of attachments so I forgot to put a waring in. The 
limit comes from 

#define MAX_ATTACHMENTS  20

in elogd.c which you can easily increase (as long as you have RAM!) and 
recompile.

  295   Tue Apr 22 17:17:36 2003 Question Alexander ZVYAGINAlexander.Zviagine@cern.chBug report  problem with 20+ attachments
It seems that maximal number of attachments is about 20. When you try to add
more, a new entry _is_ added to the logbook but the refernce to it is not
added to the web page.

It seems when I use "reply" with an attachments, the original attachments of
the message are removed.

I use elog-2.3.5

  292   Tue Apr 22 11:29:44 2003 Warning Thomas Saleinsalein@ckc.deBug report  Opera and IE behave different
I repeat ...
. Opera browser 7.03 simply crashes, when choosing the direct URL to our 
logbook, i.e. http://localhost:8080/logbook2. We have set a general 
password file and a different read password for each of our logbooks.
If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook1 everything is fine. We get a 
window "Authentication required" and type in simply the read password, no 
user name.
If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook2 the behaviour is different. We 
see the window "Authentication required" appear, then Opera crashes.
Change of the read passwords did not change this erroneous behaviour. This 
problem was not with version ELOG 2.3.4.

In Internet Explorer 6 all is okay.


 ... and add

The behaviour is different in those browsers even with the start page at 
http://localhost:8080/
Internet Explorer 6 demands a login. But as we have no password we cannot 
login.
Opera 7.03 demands no login and simply offers the list of logbooks to 
choose one.
  291   Tue Apr 22 11:18:00 2003 Warning Thomas Saleinnone   Several Problems with 2.3.5
We use ELOG 2.3.5 for Windows with a German language file and have found 


some new problems:




. Certain strings are not translated.


Language error: string "Plese log on by clicking on following link and 


change your password" not found for language "de"


Language error: string "A new password for user <i>"%s"</i> has been sent 


to %s" not found for language "de"




While the first string is obviously written wrong, the second one misses a 


quotation mark.






. If a user uses the new "password forgotten" function, he receives an 


email, but after having clicked the URL in the mail, he gets the following 


error message as simple text, i.e. not formatted by use of the CSS file:




Invalid URL: Notizen/?redir=%3Fcmd%3DChange%20password%26old_pwd%


3DE3ARcjI/&uname=sal&upassword=E3ARcjI/ 


Bitte benutzen Sie die Zurück-Taste Ihres Browsers ...  




Nevertheless the new password was written into the specified password file. 


(This behaviour as far as we know was also with earlier versions of ELOG.)






. If one could not log in through the button "Login", one does not receive 


an error message, but will be pushed simply back to the main page, 


status "Not logged in". (This was as far as we know was also with earlier 


versions of ELOG.)








. If you want to change as an admin the passwords of several users, it 


would be convenient, to get always back to the page, where you may choose 


the next user ... but you will be pushed back to the main page with the 


messages. (This was as far as we know was also with earlier versions of 


ELOG.)








. But the simple change of passwords for users does not always succeed: I 


have changed the password for a user A to "anuvis", the next user B should 


have gotten the same new password, but this time it was not accepted. 


Message "Wrong password". Might it be, that this goes only once because of 


an initialisation problem ? I had to edit the password file manually.








. Opera browser 7.03 simply crashes, when choosing the direct URL to our 


logbook, i.e. http://localhost:8080/logbook2. We have set a general 


password file and a different read password for each of our logbooks.


If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook1 everything is fine. We get a 


window "Authentication required" and type in simply the read password, no 


user name.


If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook2 the behaviour is different. We 


see the window "Authentication required" appear, then Opera crashes.

problem was not with version ELOG 2.3.4.

. NOWRAP tag in Date column


The date column takes quite a lot of space in the logs overview. As the 
information is only of secondary importance I would prefer date and time 
being wrapped like e.g. the contributors name. Of course, I could help 
myself with a 
in my language file, but this would force a break also on the single message view.
