Can you send me one of this old xxxxxxa.log files which causes that crash, I can then fix
it in elogd.c ...

It's under CVS. You have to recompile the executable yourself, or you wait for the next
release (;-)

I added a new configuration option "Expand selection page" which defaults to
one. So if nothing is changed in the configuration file, the logbook selection
page is expanded by default. Only if one has very many logbooks and wants back
the old behaviour, one has to add "Expand selection page = 0" in the config
file. The new version is under CVS.

I tried with the example elogd.cfg and it worked there, so it must have to do
with your special configuration. Can you send me your elogd.cfg so that I could
reproduce your problem?

Yes it did. You were the first one using an attribute containing a dot inside a
required attribute ("Maint."). This crashed JavaScript. I found a workaround and
implemented it.

I just release 2.5.8-2 which contains both fixes.

No. One file per day was chosen in order to keep the number of files small.
For which purpose would you need such an option?

I implemented a "datetime" option which does exactly what you want. All you
need is a

Type Record Date = datetime

in your config file. The new option is present in version 2.5.8-2 and ready to
download.

If you do not want to use the mirroring, then you can extract a single entry with
the "hidden" download command. Like for this entry:

Tell your browser to save the result locally and you have a file with just this
message. Note however that if you ship these files around, and combine them with an
existing logbook by copying them to the logbook directory, you could have two
entries with the same ID, in which case elogd would produce unpredictable results.
