Hi,

I would like to turn off the display of attachements when editing an entry in some of our logbooks that contains big file. 
So I did set the flag "preview attachements"  to 0. It seems to work fine on text file attachment but 
the  thumbnails for PDF and images (very nice feature by the way!...) are still there...

How can I avoid displaying the thumbnails in the edit mode? This  is very important when the attached file is big  because
it almost makes it impossible to edit..

Thanks for your feedback!

I fixed that in revision 2109.

Your problem is the wrong password parameter. The "-w" password is only if a write password is defined in the config file. If the user level access is chosen however, you have to specify the username/password pair only separated by a blank such as in

elog ... -u myuser mypwassword ...

If I make "Email all" override the suppress email checkbox, some uses would complain "I check the supporess box, but my admin still gets email, what am I doing wrong here?". So while this works for you, it will not be desired for everybody. I would have to add another parameter just for this request. Couldn't you instead use the RSS feed functionality? This way you well see all entries, independent of the email notification. You can use special RSS feed readers (your browser and email client probably support this already).

Hmm, I see your point, but wouldn't using the RSS feed have the same effect? Or are you saying the users just wouldn't know about it, so they wouldn't complain? 

I haven't explored the RSS feed options yet. I'll study them.

The RSS feed you have to "pull" actively with a client (which of course can be periodically in an automatic way). So no pull, no notification, happy users

Hmm. Is there some way to set up a private RSS feed for me only?

If not, I would humbly ask that you add an option. I don't want to generate unnecessary email to users, but I need to always be notified for some logbooks. I'm responsible for some hardware on our project and I want to know any time someone reports a problem. The best solution is to still let users decide whether they want to subscribe to logbooks, and whether entry notification should be suppressed or not, but also have an admin override privilege. There could be a disclaimer "admin is automatically notified of all entries" at the top of the edit page.

If this can be done with a private RSS feed to me only, then that's fine. I still don't use or understand RSS feeds very well, sorry. I'd rather all users did not have the option to be alerted to every new entry, when email suppression is enabled. That would be contradictory, I think.

 Thanks for listening!

It would be very cool to be able to select Full from the view menu and then scroll rapidly through all entries looking for that high res photo of a SQUID chip I took two months ago. Presently the photos are all full size so the Full view is slow to load and it takes a lot of scrolling to navigate. Can you implement thumbnails in Full view, and also in the single entry view? Clicking on the thumbnail should, of course, open the full size image.

For now, I'm just using the wysiwyg html entry format and dropping images into the entry, then right-clicking to set a small image size. Clicking on the image gives me a new window with the full size image, which works great.

I hope you don't mind the barrage of suggestions, and thanks again.
