Apologies if these are known bugs, I'm very busy at the moment but I wanted to post this before I forget:

I'm using Safari on a Mac to make Elog entries.

1) The preview of some pdf attachments in edit mode displays huge areas of white space around each page. I can send examples if you'd like - please email me directly, for some reason I never get email notifications from this forum (and they aren't being tagged as spam, so I don't know where they go).

2) When that happens, the text entry area for ELcode format expands horizontally to match the huge pdf file width. Text without line feeds then doesn't wrap until the huge window width is filled, so I have to scroll horizontally all the time while editing to see what I've written.

3) So I turned off attachment previewing as a workaround (Preview attachments = 0 ). That worked fine by not expanding the entry area, but I noticed some odd behavior. The list of attachments below the text entry area is badly formatted. Here's a screen shot:

I tried to reproduce this with a new entry but the text was formatted properly for that entry.

P.S. While editing this entry, I see that the text area width is again being set by the width of the picture I've attached - try it yourself; if you try to resize your browser window smaller while editing, the text will only wrap until the width of the attachment is reached - the text no longer wraps at smaller widths than the attachment. 

Hello,

I just mirrored a logbook and noticed attachments are missed.

On another similar note, when an email notification is sent and the post has attachment, the attachment show up in the email BUT there is nothing in them.

Anything special I should know about those attachments ?

Thank you,

I am getting the following error message with version 2.5.4-4 when I try to
add a new entry to a log book.

Attachment file "" empty or not found

If I add the following line to me elogd.cfg I do not get the error, but will
not be able to use attachments.

Enable attachments = 0

I recently upgraded from version 2.2.5 which did not have the problem.  I
did not see anything in the changelog referencing this type of change to how
attachments are handled.

I there something I need to set in the config so that an attachment is not
expected every time a new entry is made?

If I upload an attachment the timestamp of the attachment is set to one hour in the future, as demonstrated with this test attachment being one hour in the future compared to the entry time

If I have a couple of attachments in a log book entry, I can link to that entry "http://example.edu/elog/Sandbox/7", I get the appropriate log in page, and after logging it, it takes me to the entry.

However, if I link directly an attachment, "http://example.edu/elog/Sandbox/7/1", I receive a plain log in page that doesn't have the stylesheet applied, and logging in, I am directed to " http://example.edu/elog/Sandbox/7/" which throws an invalid error. If I am already logged in the browser, it links correctly. 

I assume the problem must stem from messed up relative URL somewhere, hence the lack of stylesheet, or from the redirect incorrectly handling the /. (Looking at the source for the two login pages, the only difference is "<input type=hidden name=redir value="7">" versus "<input type=hidden name=redir value="7/1">". ) But that reaches the end of my ability...

This breaks the attachment links in emails.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,

Is it possible to attach multiple files at one time?  Right now I have to attach each individually, click submit, then confirm, then re-select the next file...

This is a pain if one is attaching many files as I often want to do.  It would be nice to be able to select groups of files together using Ctrl and/or Shift, and even to attach a whole directory recursively.

I looked through previous threads but did not find this question asked there.

Thanks,

Eric
