Ok, I added the option

Tooltip <attribute> = ...

I apply the HTML "title" tag to the whole table row, so the tooltip appears on the
whole line, not only the attribute name. I guess this is much more intuitive. Give
it a try. New version under CVS and available as a snapshot.

Well, good idea. I implemented that. Have a look at this forum (just hit reply to this
entry) and you'll see it. I'm not completely happy with it (at least on small 1024x768
screens), but it's configurable anyhow. New version under CVS.

I implemented a "max content length = xxx" flag, which defaults to 10MB. If an
attachment is larger, an error gets displayed. The problem is that elogd can
only send the error message to the browser *after* it received the whole
request, so it has to "drain" the 240 MB first, which could take quite some
time on a slow connection.

Alternatively, I can cut the connection to the browser immediately, since the
HTTP header contains the content length after the first ~500 bytes, but in
that case the browser only shows a message box "Document contains no data"
which gives the user noe clue of what's wrong.

Anyhow the biggest problem of elog in high stress environments is that it's
single threaded. So if someone issues a search in a large logbook, it could
take some time, in which elog cannot respond to other requests. Maybe I will
find time in the future to make elog multithreaded, but certainly not in the
near future.

I fixed that problem. Please get the snapshot from July 28th 14:16.

Yes, I fixed this. Revision 1.412 under CVS, new snapshot for Windows at the
download page.

Acknowledged. Added your vote to the wishlist.

That should be fixed by the current version. Please update.

Can you try if you can reproduce the problem with the current version? I tried
your settings and could not reproduce it. I remember that I fixed some problems
with quick filters, but that was some time ago (Apr 04). If the problem
persists, can you send me your exact elogd.cfg?
