 | Harry Martin | harrymartin772@gmail.com | Bug report | Linux | 3.1.5 | passing %s to $shell interpreted differently in preset vs preset on reply | I am finding that '%s' passed to a $shell(...) command must be escaped when calling from Preset on reply, but not when calling Preset new. Example:
[tickler]
Comment = Automated Tickler List Experiment
Attributes = Blurb, TickleDate
Type TickleDate = date
Required Attributes = Blurb
Preset TickleDate = $shell(date -d 'now + 30 days' '+%s')
Preset on reply TickleDate = $shell(date -d 'now + 30 days' '+%%s')
Date Format = %Y-%m-%d
Note that I have to escape the Preset on Reply's shell command argument with double percent signs, but not on Preset new. The configuration I have provided here does work and correctly overrides the output per the Date Format spec. This scenario should be easy to reproduce.
It could be I am doing something incorrectly, but it seems to me that there is no reason why the calls should need to be handled differently. I can live with this for the moment, but I do hope it is fixed in a later release so that $shell calls have consistent syntax and semantics.

| Harry Martin | harrymartin772@gmail.com | Bug report | Linux | 3.1.5 | collapse does not seem to work as expected | When I click on "collapse," even several times, I still see all the replies in each thread rather than just one entry representing each entire thread.
I am running elogd 3.1.5 on devuan chimaera (bullseye) which I built from source. I had the same results with 3.1.4 and 3.1.3.
I tried to disable the quick filter just to see if that impacted the behavior, but it didn't.
If there are any other tests I can use to narrow the problem, please suggest them. Without a working collapse feature, I cannot get a quick birdseye view of, say, all open threads. |

| Harry Martin | harrymartin772@gmail.com | Bug report | Linux | 3.1.5 | Re: collapse does not seem to work as expected | I should add that this does not happen in every logbook. I'm looking into what the distinction is that causes this in certain logbooks and not in others.

| Harry Martin | harrymartin772@gmail.com | Bug report | Linux | 3.1.5 | Re: collapse does not seem to work as expected | Figured it out: I had "Sort Attributes" set on the logbooks that were failing to collapse correctly. At least, I think that is the distinction.
I think I can live with "Sort Attributes" disabled; I don't recall why I chose to set the "Sort Attributes" in the first place. But I still think this is an issue.

| Harry Martin | harrymartin772@gmail.com | Bug report | Linux | 3.1.5 | Re: 3-level conditional not working | Tried a variant, this time for NEW entries (not EDIT), which I meant to do to begin with; sorry if that was confusing.
[cond_test]
attributes = region, manufacturer, model
options region = american{us}, japanese{jp}, european{eu}
show attributes = region
{us} options manufacturer = ford, chrysler, gm
{jp} options manufacturer = toyota{toy}, nissan{nis}, mitsubishi{mit}
{eu} options manufacturer = audi, mercedes, bmw, volvo, fiat
{us} show attributes = region, manufacturer
{jp} show attributes = region, manufacturer
{eu} show attributes = region, manufacturer
{toy} options model = corolla, prius, miata
{nis} options model = sentra, murano
{mit} options model = starion, outlander, mirage
{toy,nis,mit} show attributes = region, manufacturer, model
I'm not sure if my multi-character conditional names are allowed or not, but they do seem to work... somewhat. Note that I even tried a couple different ways of specifying which attributes to show (single versus multiple OR conditionals). The problem now is that all of the attributes are always shown, seeming to ignore the conditionals entirely.

Not sure if this is a bug or not; if it is not, kindly reclassify the category.
Following is a small example of what I will dub a 3-level, conditional logbook:
[cond_test]
attributes = region, manufacturer, model
show attributes edit = region
options region = american{1}, japanese{2}, european{3}
{1} options manufacturer = ford, chrysler, gm
{2} options manufacturer = toyota{4}, nissan{5}, mitsubishi{6}
{3} options manufacturer = audi, mercedes, bmw, volvo, fiat
{1,2,3} show attributes edit = region, manufacturer
{4} options model = corolla, prius, miata
{5} options model = sentra, murano
{6} options model = starion, outlander, mirage
{4,5,6} show attributes edit = region, manufacturer, model
This example is hardly complete, but it is sufficient to demonstrate the issue I am running into. This works until I select from the 2nd level (manufacturer); it won't display the dropdown for the model (I think my show attribute edit is supposed to display that). Is there a restriction on how many levels of conditional I can have? If there is, it would be disappointing because I am trying to do something similar to this example.
I hope there is something very simple I can do to correct this, or perhaps a completely different approach that accomplishes the same thing. I'd like to stick with the multi-level selection process as I have done here.
I am running elog 3.1.5 on Devuan Chimaera (approx. Debian Bullseye, sans systemd) in a Virtualbox VM.

 | Andrea Capra | acapra@triumf.ca | Question | Linux | 3.1.4-bcd7b50 | Edit entry from command line and appending attachment | I would like to edit an existing entry by adding new attachments at each call of elog from the command line.
If I issue
elog -h localhost -p 8XXX -l test -f /path/to/file_0.pdf -e N -x
and then
elog -h localhost -p 8XXX -l test -f /path/to/file_1.pdf -e N -x
file_1.pdf replaces file_0.pdf, while I'd like entry N to have both pdfs.
Is there a workaround?

Can someone compile an up-to-date windows-version or write a manual how to do it in Windows without compiling errors?
Thank you. |
