Well, the "undesired effect" you describe is exactly the reason for having drafts. Somebody works on a lengthy message, then the browser dies,
or the user by accident hits the "back" button and (by accidnt, ehem...) confirms the dialog popping up which says "changes will be lost".
In that case the draft mechanism should take care of that the lengthy message is not lost. That's where it is for. If one does not like it, one can |

Hello,
In my opinion, there should be a "close/return" button (discard changes), even with the drafts enabled, but effectively there will

Hi Stefan,
actually what you refer to as the "quick and dirty" solution is probably the only feasible one: to store a copy
of the entry in the browser and restore that copy with a "cancel" button.
Otherwise you would need a full-fledged revision management,
to deal with multiple copies of the same entry open in several browsers.
Yet, that does not solve the "problem" |

What's the best way to update elog to newer release?, posted by Xuan Wu on Tue Dec 6 13:29:40 2016

If the older elog has some customized file such as logbooks, elogd.cfg, elog.css, images and so on, What's the best way to update elog
to newer release? Is it the only way to copy these files to the new release? |

Make a backup of all you files, then install the new version over the old one, keeping all customizations, then restart elog.
