Nice idea. I implemented that feature, as can be seen at the contributions logbook for example. It will be contained in the next release.

Would it be possible to instead of appearing a "clip" and/or "multiple-clips" (as the number of attachments grow) to appear a number which will be = to the count of attachments to avoid the column become too wide?

Hope it works because this is tool better every day.

Keep up the GOOD Work!

Thanks!

Ok, so I show individual clips up to five, and the number of attachments if more than five.

Hi Stefan,

When using  2.7.3-2095 I can't seem to get the paperclip/s to show,  just an additional field in the summary view (named Attachments) with the attachment file names below? Am I missing something?

Thanks

Arghh! Why did you choose such a filename? This is the ELOG internal file format, which is YYMMDD_HHMMSS_name.ext. 
For internal reasons (mainly for synchronization) the system checks every file name, and if it contains 6 numbers 
followed by a "_" followed by 6 other numbers it thinks it's a valid date/time and uses that. Your time is however 
0.0.0000, that's why it gets converted to some date in 1999. Do you absolutely need this functionality? While I can 
easily remove the interpretation of the date, it would break the synchronization functionality and I would have to 
find some other method to pass the file date/time, which would be quite some work. So if it's not too important for 
you, I would like to keep it as it is.

The original idea was that one outcomments the whole line, like

#USE_SSL = 1

which always worked, but I agree that your solution is more general, so I changed the official Makefile. Thanks for 
that.

Thank you for your response.  

I can certainly use another filename, but I'm curious why elog doesn't convert the filename "000000_000000_file.txt" to
"YYMMDD_HHMMSS_000000_000000_file.txt" when it gets uploaded.  All other files are automatically prepended with this
string.  Manually renaming the file and then editing the elog entry via text editor seems to fix the file.

thanks,
