Greetings,

I was wondering, is it possible to wrap lines in the config file ?

I have to add a dropdown lost which is kinda long and typing everything on one line will make ik kinda unreadable.
Somehow wrapping the line so each entry will get on a separate line would make it much better readable. (which
makes less errors).


What I do is to use an editor with automatic wrapping functions, like the free PSPad editor. It nicely wraps line and indicates that:

Hmmm... I have to use vi and was hoping an \ at the end of the line (before the LF) would be supported.

Use a real editor Wink

I seem to remember that Emacs can be configured for automatic line wrapping.

Ok, implemented, thanks.

I have "Summary lines = 1" in the config file. The first line visualized in the summary list, in the Text column, is truncated. I'm using the default style.

Which is the way to set the number of character displayed?

I added a new parameter

Summary line length = x

for you. This is included in SVN revision 2262 (if you can compile it yourself) and will be contained in the next release.

I have already tested your patch backporting the change to 2.7.7.1. It works like a charm.

Thank you very much!

Yes it does, and what is your question?

If you have any icons, just put it under the contributions logbook. There 
are only few entries, so no deed to make a subgroup.

As for wishlist, start with the "Forum" Logbook. If a wish gets "accepted", 
I put it on the official web page.
