Hi there! 

I have noticed this effect when editing entries with the command line elog.exe.

Let's say I submit a new entry via the command line and I'm also submitting an attachment file. If I check the elog entry via the browser I see my entry there with its attachment as expected. The attachment is also present on the server in the logbook folder with the date and time stamp in front of the original name. 

Now, let's say I would like to edit the same entry via the command line, if I don't pass the attachment, the edited entry won't show any attachment in the browser but on the server there is still the old attachment file available. 

A similar situation is when I edit an entry and I want the edited entry to have the same attachment file of the original one. In that case, the entry on the browser will show the attachment, but on the server I have two copies of the attachment file with the two timestamps (original submission and edited submission). Moreover the first copy is unreachable from any client because not linked to any entry anymore.

In general I would not care much, but I have an application that is regularly updating entries and I will soon have the server hard disk full of useless copies of unlinked attachment. 

I have seen that when deleting an entry, also all its attachments are removed. Would it be possible to have attachments removed when editing an entries? 

Thanks for your help! 

Cheers,

toto

So there is no way to save the file on the network?! :(

Can i install the elog on a windows server? i tried it yesterday, but i think i missed something, couse i only could open the elog on the server and not with a client pc.

I'm running ELOG on a windows server 2016. Just installed the windows installer and worked out of the box. 

Have you checked the firewall?

Dear Developers

I know this topic i on and off in this forum but it seems the only updated versions of Elog are in the linux binaries. Have anybody been able to compile a windows versions since 2018?

Kind Regards Finn

I'm also supporting this request.

Hi,



We discussed on windows build some weeks ago and i tried to make one to check if it’s possible.

The result is in https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/69491

This could help you up to official new build.

Hi Laurent

I've found the attached zip files in post 69491. The one containing the ELOG probgram libary won't run on my test laptop - the service wont start
There is in the same thread a post from Just Keijser containing only the executables, and it won't start either. Starting the elog.exe though gives me that the exe is missing 2 dll files which can be downloaded seperately.
It is not easy cause there are several versions of the 2 dll files and only one working, but now my elog reports version ELOG V3.1.4-1ebfd06c

But this cant be the solution - if so the windows version is put to the grave

Kind Regards Finn

Hi Finn,

I've just tested the same archive on new laptop with Windows 11. 
I unzip it and double-click elogd.exe file, bypass defender warning and the server is running.
To test, i open localhost:8080 on web client and it displays the demo logbook.

Btw i didn't test it as a service. What are the 2 libs you said it misses ?
