Starting from version 2.2.4 which has been released today, the 
option "quick filter" has been added. A "quick filter" is a drop down box 
on the message display page. By selecting a value from the drop down box, 
only messages of that type are displayed. See this forum which uses "Quick 
filter = Date, Category".

This new option adresses a couple of installations which require a large 
number of logbooks. Instead of using many similar logbooks, the old logbook 
name can now be defined as an attribute. All messages get now mixed, but by 
defining the logbook attribute as a quick filter, one can display the 
messages belonging to the individual logbooks separately with a single 
click.

unless i missed these in the docs some place:

1) a threaded display but collapsed threads unstead of all replies showing

2) the subject is the link along with the icon. it would make it a little   easier to click on the message if you run your montior on a high resolution...

Ok, finally I can confirm the problem. It will be fixed from Version 2.2.4 
on.

that's ok. i just it was driving me nuts there for a while...everything is fine now...

How does the corresponding elogd.cfg entry look like for the
display search command ? - I can't reproduce this behaviour...

That depends on how you specify what gets displayed in a search (with 
the "Display search" option for example). If you try the following link:

http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/Forum/?mode=summary&all=1

you see that all attributes are displayed from the three logbooks in this 
installation.

In the "find" command, when searching over all logbooks, it
would be nice to see ALL attributes, which are common for all
logbooks (e.g. typically the author name), not just
logbook name, date and text.

Ooops, I just realized that the Windows 2.2.3 distribution contained the old 
(2.2.2) executable for elogd.exe. I apologize for that. I have updated the 
elog223.exe distribution just now, so please download it again in order to 
get the new file.
