It seems that maximal number of attachments is about 20. When you try to add
more, a new entry _is_ added to the logbook but the refernce to it is not
added to the web page. |

Uhhh, Mr. "monster of number of attachments" gave it's stroke! Well, we never
had such large number of attachments so I forgot to put a waring in. The
limit comes from
#define MAX_ATTACHMENTS 20
in elogd.c which you can easily increase (as long as you have RAM!) and
recompile. |

:) I wanted to post a message with ~200 attachments.

Actually my report was NOT about this limitation. You have it - it is fine.
The problem is that I add some 'zombies' or dead files to my logbook.
BTW is there a tool to check the 'integrity' of a logbook? That all
attachments are in place, there are no dead files, etc. I perfectly
understand that it is not _highly_ desired or needed, but with the two last
problems (auto-removing of attached files and silent adding a new ones with
20+ attachments) I have doubts that our logbook in a good state. And we just
started to use it. And I am still so excited about it!! |

Actually my philosophy is not to cure symptoms of a problem, but fix the
source of it. The reply/attachment bug is fixed, and a warning about
exceeding the number of attachments will come soon.
About the integrity, there is no problem. As you might know, the xxxxxxa.log
files are plain text files. The line "Attachments: xxx" contains a simple
text list of all attachments. In the above case a few files might be missing
in that line, but they are present in the log directory. So in worst case
edit the xxxxxxa.log file manually, adding the file names, and maybe restart
elogd to rebuild the index properly. Otherwise there is no integrity problem. |

| Justin Dieters | enderak@yahoo.com | Bug report | | | Re: problem with 20+ attachments |
I've been using elog for several months now, and one thing that's always
seemed odd to me are the things like max number of attachments and max
attachment size are defined right in the source code, and not in the config
file. It would seem that it would be simple to be able to define stuff like
that in the config file (and have defaults in case they weren't specified),
which would fix a lot of the recompiling problems - just edit the config file
and restart elog. Not that recompiling elog is difficult, it just seems like
recompiling for such a simple setting is overkill...
Anyway, just curious. Is there a technical reason this is not done?
