I'm ecstatic that planner-zoom.el has been included and that people are getting use out of it. I'd like to make one suggestion that I plan to implement myself (someday) but would be equally ecstatic if someone gets to it before me. It would be nice if 2006.January.Week1 were treated exactly the same way that 2006.01.01 is treated. That is, Planner would recognize it as a "time" page, not a "plan" page, and there would be a command like planner-carry-week-tasks-forward that would do the same thing as planner-carry-tasks-forward except it would move tasks from 2006.January.Week1 to 2006.January.Week2. Right now I'm doing this more or less manually. I'm using Planner-zoom and these week/month/quarter/year pages to try to keep my eye on larger scale goals. I try to plan set no more than three top priorities for each week/month/quarter/etc, with the obvious effect that the goals are larger for months than for weeks, etc. This has a nice effect of forcing you to really prioritize since three isn't very many, but you obviously can't have 10 "top priorities for the month." I looked into doing this and got as far as deciding that changing a few regexps wouldn't do the trick. As a side note, it would be nice if the interface for creating/managing tasks were a little more abstract, like a function planner-create-linked-task that would,say, take task text and then a list of pages and create a task on each page, all of them linked to each other. As far as I remember there were quite a lot of implicit assumptions where the code decides what's a date page and what's a plan page, and then tries to infer what you wanted to do. So, like I said, this is my vision for how to make planner-zoom really useful, and I'd like to bring it to fruition eventually, but if someone else has the time and knowledge of the planner internals to make it happen, I support their effort fully! :-) Take care, Greg _______________________________________________ Planner-el-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/planner-el-discuss
