Hello,

one idea for improvement. When using the option 'Icon comment' this comment is shown when creating a new entry and moving with he mouse over the icon but it is not displayed in full or summary view. In full or summary view the filename is shown. Not really important, but perhaps an improvement.

Thanks!

Uwe

I implemented this request in SVN revision #1974.

Thank you!

Hi,

We've defined a "LastEdit" attribute for some of our logs so that we can indicate that an entry has been revised, and when that was done. 

From our config:

Attributes =  Last Edit, etc etc
.
.
.
Preset Last Edit =$date
Locked Attributes = Last Edit
Subst on edit Last Edit = $date

This works fine, but when we sort the LastEdit column, the dates are sorted alphabetically. Is there a way to tell Elog to treat this particular attribute 
as a date when sorting?

You are missing:

Type Last Edit = datetime

which will tread the "Last Edit" attribute as a date/time combination. Actually it's stored 
internally in seconds since Jan 1st 1970, so sorting will work right. The only caveat is that
when you edit an entry, the "Last Edit" is displayed really in seconds since 1970, but I will
fix this in the next release.

I just fixed this in SVN revision #2010. If you would have filled out which operating system you use
with elog, I could tell you how to upgrade.

Thanks for the help and the bug fix. I have a colleague who keeps our installation up to date, so I'll ask him to install it.

it seems out systemlang is en_US,

#date
Thu Mar 27 14:11:59 CET 2008

and i want to change the local lang only for the elogd.

i tried it with .bash_profile in the elog homedir with

LANG=de_AT
export LANG

but it doesn't work.

how can i change it to get  ?
