I would like to edit an existing entry by adding new attachments at each call of elog from the command line.

If I issue

elog -h localhost -p 8XXX -l test -f /path/to/file_0.pdf -e N -x

and then 

elog -h localhost -p 8XXX -l test -f /path/to/file_1.pdf -e N -x

file_1.pdf replaces file_0.pdf, while I'd like entry N to have both pdfs.

Is there a workaround?

Hello,

Is there a possibility to prevent elog to overwrite attribute values when 
editing an old message? The old values are overwriten with the preset 
options for that attribute. 
But sometimes you will preserve attribute text and /or options from the old 
message.

Thank you for your help. Regards,

Stefan

 Hi all,

Is there a way to add more icons to the currently available icons when you are in the edit mode. For example instead of having this  icon if I want to add a different icon that is not in the list.

The reason I ask is that I want for example to have an icon of a bug(for software bugs) or something different.

I looked in the elog's installation directory and I could find all of the available icons but couldn't see any place where I could modify the installation to allow me access to the extra icons.

Thanks in advance.

Behdad.

Hi, thanks for everyone involved for giving us the elog.

A question:

Is there an easy way (without intermediate save) to send screenshots (with irfan, snagit or hardcopy) as a new entry to an elog running on a remote machine?

Thanks, thorsten

I have installed Elog in a Windows-environment. It's working fine, but i get a new logbookfile each day. Is it possible to have all entries in 1 logbookfile?

We have used ELog for some time now (within the IT industry) for several things (on-call tracking, after-hours work, knowledge base and a few other uses in development).  Now that we have a good base of data, we would like to do some trending analysis.  We have used Excel in the past for this, but it is rather time consuming.  Does anyone have recommendations for tools (hopefully open source) they have used?  I know nearly anything will since ELog uses flat files, but I'm looking for recommendations that you all know works well.
