Thanks again.

I noticed in the Change Log for 3.1.4 that there's a reference to something done with "Last default" in Sept 2018 so I think I will try to set up a Linux instance and try out 3.1.4. Regards.

Version 3.1.4, released September 26th, 2018
============================================

- Replaced sprintf by snprintf
- Changed midas.psi.ch to elog.psi.ch
- Fixed bug for redirect under two daisy-chained proxies
- Removed while(in_asend) which caused some browsers to block
- Implemented elogd.service for systemd daemon
- Implemented "max email attachment size"
- Limit max request size to 100 MB
- Allow ampersand in user names
- Added code to detect Unicode characters as HTML
- add "Email CSS URL" : use public copy of CSS for emails
- bugfix: replace hard-coded reference of "New" to loc("New")
- add "Subscription columns" : format list of logbooks for subscriptions in columns
- Added "interface" option
- Fixed crash on negative Content-Length in header
- Fixed "?npp=0" crash
- Added confirmation dialog before deleting an attachment
- Implemented "last default" to restrict quick filter display by default on the last n days
- Made header parsing case insensitive

Indeed you're right (my memory is fading, argh). Please try 3.1.4.

You have to put "Last x" in the menu, not "Last day". Unfortunately by default the label "Last day" does not show up. I fixed this in the current version. But you can yourself start this thing by adding "past1" to the URL, or by making yourself a bookmark in your browser. Like

https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/past1

then the "Last 2 days" will show up.

 Thanks very much, Stefan.

I did not know "Last x" was the appropriate menu option.

It is a good point, and surprised that this particular number of days was overlooked.

It only needs four lines added into elogd.c to achieve this.  Even with my notorious 
c coding, I did it first time, but as I'm on linux, not a great help for you.  Indeed, 
any other arbitary number of days could be added in, if you have the sources and means 
to recompile.

I think windows versions are only updated on version number, not svn number, so it will 
require a request to the great man himself(*) to produce a new version for windows.

(*)Hint; Stefan likes the occasional beer.

David send me his modification and I put it into the main source code, so it will be contained in the next Windows 
version.

Yepp ;-)

I made an interim 2.7.8-3 version which contains the fix and can be downloaded from the web site.

If the logbook files are getting big, searching text in entries can take quite some time. But if you have a log file logging all activities, that should not slow down elog since the server just appends at the end of that file which is a quick operation.
