Is there any way to search for all attributes _except_ a certain value?

After THREE tries to enter a long detailed list of questions, all have been 
replaced by just one:  why do ELOG textareas and entry forms lose all data 
if the browser goes back/forward?  Or if a submission causes an error?  
Other forms in other applications don't have this kind of data loss.

Submitting this now before I lose it again.  Will submit rest of questions 
as separate entries.

Exporting workes as follows: Click on "Find", and switch the radio button to XML or CSV.
If you click on "Search", you will be prompted where to save the resulting "export.xml"
or "export.csv". I did this through the search page because you can then specify som
filters, in order not to export all records.

The XML charset in the first line was missing. I fixed that, new version under CVS. Or
you can manually change the first line to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

I needed the export feature and could not find documentation on it in the latest 
version. I finally read the code and added Find Menu Text = <filename>
where filename had the tags XML, CSV1, and CSV2
This always exports all records. Shouldn't it just export the records appearing in 
the window?
Also, there is a CSV Import menu item, why isn't there CSV Export? Or just Export 
with radio buttons controlling the format.
(BTW, the XML export is not valid. Internet Explorer complains about the first line)

Great Software. Love it. Keep up the good work!

  elogd.c shows the same warnings.

  This works OK.
 

Hi, we are using ELOG for keeping track of a server maintainance.  I've
translated some of ELOG's strings.  The file is attached.  There will be
more translations, when I get inspired again ;-)

Unfortunately I don't have a 64-bit compiler to try. Can you please check if
elogd.c has similar warnings or only regex.c? The ones in elogd.c I can fix,
but regex.c is straight from the GNU C library, so we would have to wait intil
they fix it. Or can you get it from the 64-bit C library? The point is that I
need the source code, so that I can compile it under Windows as well. Can you
try to compile elogd without regex.c, like 

gcc -g -O -W -Wall -o elogd src/elogd.c

If that works fine, we don't have to compile regex.c under linux. But I guess
it's still needed fot Solaris and other non-GNU Unix brands.

When compiling elogd on AMD64 (in 64 bit mode) there are many 
warnings like these:

src/regex.c:3769: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
src/regex.c:3769: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
src/regex.c:3775: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

The reason is the (int) cast, which (I think) is not necessary.
