I just tried to upgrade from 2.6.1-1633 to 2.6.2-1734. Whenever I tried to access the elog, it showed my password to be invalid. I tried this on 2 machines and same results. I did notice on the second one when I started it from a command prompt that it was creating a new empty password file in a different location.

I have a password file called pwd.txt. It resides in the main elog directory, in my case, c:\elog, along with the elgod.exe and elogd.cfg. Apparently, the new version looks for it in the logbooks directory. I adjusted my path to the file and it works fine.

I am reporting this as a bug because it is my guess that this is not an expected result. I would expect the old elogd.cfg file to work without altering in the newer version.

Thanks, keep up the great work, Stefan. You have a great program.

I also just noticed that the text files I use for presetting the text window also have to be in the logbooks directory.

Thanks. I checked the changelog and the documentation for any such changes but did not see them. I just looked again, and still do not see them. Anyway, I know what to expect, now, and will adjust. Again, thanks!

That change was actually made in SVN revision 1708 on Aug. 1st, 2006, which was after the release of 2.6.2. So it will be made official in 2.6.3 and documented accordingly.
  2084   Mon Nov 20 16:23:37 2006 Question Fergus Lynchflynch@alternativenetworks.comQuestionWindows2.6.2-1734$long_name in Moptions
Hi,

Is there a way of having $long_name in 'Moptions'?

We use ELOG (amongst other things!) to allocate work out to Developers (who are all configured as ELOG users) I would like to use 'checkbox' functionality to allocate out a task to more than one developer. Currently only a single developer is chosen from a drop down list.

Thanks
Fergus

This was not possible until now, so I implemented the option
Type <attribute> = muserlist

which gives you checkboxes (= multi-userlist) for all users instead of a drop down list. This feature is implemented starting from revision 1758 and it will be contained in the next release of elog.

WowThat was quick, I'll implement this morning. Many thanks for introducing this, ELOG is such a good tool.

Many Thanks

Hi Stefan, apologies if I am being a bit dense (!) When I download the latest windows binary it extracts to ELOG V2.6.2-1749. Where could I get revision 1758 >

Thanks in advance
