Ahh, now I see what you mean. Well, first you can configure the amount of things to be shown in the threaded display
already via "Thread display". So maybe you can strip down things to have not too long entries. Second, to get to the
attachment you click on the entry, then click on the attachment. So to save you one click, it would cost me a few hours
of work (literally during the weekend). So I'm not very convinced Wink

In my version of firefox, the thread display usually word-wraps once I get to the emty-enty entry, so the paperclip icon being at the
end of the thread display is not a disaster. And let's be grateful that it does not pop up and say "you appear to be reporting
a bug in elog..." Wink

Thanks for all of the contributions - all I meant in my original suggestion was that I'd like to be able to define which column(s) should hold the Attachments paperclip in the Full and Summary List Views, which I use all the time, to reduce the need to scroll horizontally on every page. This would be similar to being able to specify where the Edit control appears by specifying the Edit attribute in the "List Display" list.
... and I really didn't want to ruin another of Stefan's weekends or confuse anybody!

Ok, now I got it. I will put that request on the wish list. For the moment, you can restrict the number of attributes shown in the list view with "List display = ...". This way you can maybe display less so that your table gets narrower and you save some scrolling.

Hi

Would it be possible to use the "Export to:" function with IE7 on the Forum logbook, and save the logbook.

I can do the export but saving the file with IE7 does not work. Saving the file with Firefox, Chrome, Safari works.

This makes me think that E-log is good and IE7 is bad ?

Soren 

Right   

It seems to be a well known probmel with IE: http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/files/directories-fso/how-do-i-send-the-correct-filename-with-binarywrite.html 

So I tried all variations there, but none of them worked. The interesting thing is that it works if you use it locally, but not with the forum (which has an additional "/elogs" in the URL).

 

 

 Problem resolved.

  66625   Mon Nov 23 11:53:22 2009 Question David PilgramDavid.Pilgram@epost.org.ukQuestionLinux2.7.7-2266Attachments and images of attachments
Hi Stefan,

I attached a 12 page (22kB) pdf file - no images - to an entry, but elog only converted the first 8 pages to
images (.png).  This is reproducable, i.e. a different small multipage pdf file produced the same number of images.

The size of the pdf file does not seem to be a problem, a single page pdf file with a lot of images in it
attached as expected.

Is this correct, or a defined limitation?

This is a defined limitation. Sometimes people attach whole books in PDF form to an entry, and you don't want to end up 
with hundreds of images cluttering your browser. If you want to see the full document, just load it into your PDF viewer.

Thanks, Stefan (why is this answer down under my name!?)

I couldn't find reference to this in the documentation.  In the case I referred to, I'll have to play with the pdf so that
the six pages I actually want displayed are.
