Email All = $Cc


Substitution was not enabled for email addresses, but I added this for you. It's in SVN revision 1712 if you build elog yourself from the SVN, otherwise it will be contained in the next release.


Great! Thanks very much. And quick too! Any idea when the next release will be available? Is there a mailing list I can sign up to to get notifications?

Hi,

Would it be possible to add an 'append' option to the elog.exe client program? I would like to be able to write a simple script for adding images into a logbook - i.e. right-click in Windows and click 'add to log', or click a button in LabVIEW or Matlab and have an image immediately added to the last log entry. There would also have to be an option to either return a list of entry IDs, or just append to the last entry. Is this possible/likely?

cheers

Can we please have an option to turn off the thing that changes smileys automatically into pictures?

cheers

  • Submit your entry in plain mode (insted of ELCode)
  • Put a \ in front of anything which is turned into a smiley, so ;) gets converted into Wink, but \;) does not get converted


I realise that's possible, but things are getting converted into smileys that aren't intended to be smileys. Specifically, when I enter a question in brackets, the end bracket is converted into a smiley. (Like this?) should be (Like this\?). That is very annoying, and to be honest, I don't need the smileys. An option to switch them off would be the best thing.

I agree that the ?) smiley is annoying, so I changed it to ?-) which should prevent it from showing up in questions in brackets. I updated this server (you can see the effect above), the modification is committed to subversion.


Thanks a lot! I'm going to pester you though - it would be really good if there was an option to turn them off completely. Surely it can't be a huge amount of work... ?

Unfortunately it is not simple under Windows to extend the right-click functionality. What I do is to use a snapshot program (like HoverSnap). Triggered with a definable hot key, it grabs a region of the screen and puts it into a GIF file. Then you can attach it to an elog. I agree it takes a couple of clicks, but it's still a quick thing.


I think you misunderstand me. I was asking whether it would be possible for the elog command-line client program to have an "append to existing entry" option. That program's actually just what I need though - thanks!

Yes, but if you use -e "text" it replaces the whole entry with "text". So an append option would be really useful...

Hi,

It would be good if when you uploaded an image as an attachment, there was a button next to it that pasted the code
[img]elog:1972/1[/img]
into the log entry. This way, it would be more easy to have inline images in a log entry.

cheers
