[Orgmode] depending TODOs, scheduling following TODOs automatically
Hi! Having a TODO which depends on an earlier TODO I would like to trigger the timestamped scheduling of the following TODO when the former is DONE. How do you folks handle such dependencies? Could any automatic process be implemented? * TODO job 1 SCHEDULED: <2007-10-12 Fr> * TODO job 2 (followup of job 1) * TODO job 3 (followup of job 2) rainer ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Headline level change
How are you moving it? I know if you use C-right, only the heading goes right. If you use C-S-right, the whole sub-tree, sub-headings and body text goes. (And I wish it would re-wrap, but that's a different request.) If a body line is not indented (it starts in column 0) it will not move right.

[Orgmode] Timeline view - bug or by design?
Hi, The agenda timeline view does not show any "SCHEDULED" todo items, but does show items with an plain active time stamp without preceding "SCHEDULED". Is that a bug or by design?

[Orgmode] Bug: org-mode does not properly reenter tasks with the REPEAT timestamp when marked as 'DONE'
I apologize in advance if this is not where bugs are supposed to be sent, but i couldn't find a better place to file a bug report, so... ==BEGIN BUG REPORT== I attempted to mark a task with the REPEAT timestamp as 'DONE' using 'C-c C-t' and instead of the schedule timestamp for the task being moved according to the value within REPEAT() (ex.--- REPEAT(+1w)), it simply is marked as 'DONE' like a plain-old-task. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enter "TODO [#B] Some task REPEAT(+1d) SCHEDULED: <2007-10-01 Mon>" as a task within an agenda tree 2. Mark it as done using 'C-c C-t' Actual Results: Item is marked as done instead of prompting user for a closing note (if the options for org-mode are set to do so) and marking the task as 'TODO' again. Expected Results: User should have been prompted for a closing note (if the options for org-mode are set to do so) and the item should have been marked as 'TODO', with the 'SCHEDULED' timestamp being updated according to the value found in the REPEAT timestamp. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

For now C-u C-c \ does something different:
,[ (info "(Org)Tag searches") ]
| `C-c \'
| Create a sparse tree with all headlines matching a tags search.
| With a `C-u' prefix argument, ignore headlines that are not a TODO
| line.
`
I'm not using C-u C-c \ that much, mostly because I use agenda views a
lot. But your request to make the C-c \ query interactive -- whatever
key it is bound to -- sounds nice.
As you probable know, you can already perform complex searches like:
C-c \ [EMAIL PROTECTED]"code"/NEXT
This will search for headlines with the tag "Urgent", without the tag
"@Work", with category "code" and which TODO keyword is "NEXT". Yes,
that's quite complex and I guess we sometime prefer not to care about
the syntax of the query, but rather be prompted for it.
If Carsten implements this, I think all the search facilities in Org
will need a bit of uniformization/clarification. For now we have:
| key | function | knows about| C-u |
|-+--++--|
| C-c / | org-occur| regexp | |
| C-c \ | org-tags-sparse-tree | tags, and more | restrict to TODO |
| C-c C-v | org-show-todo-tree | todo keywords | ask for keyword |
A few ideas about this:
1. I tend to use C-c \ a lot than C-c / -- but I find the C-c / key much
more convenient. I guess it's far too late to switch, but still.
2. AFAIK org-tags-sparse-tree is more powerful than org-show-todo-tree.
If we add the possibility to build interactive queries, it will
definitely become *the* universal search interface for Org.
3. Being able to restrict to TODO entries when searching for tags is
nice, we should keep it somehow. Maybe org-show-todo-tree could
do something similar by restricting the search to tags?
If I sum up, here are the search capacities that we could end up with:
1. Search for a regexp
2. Search for a complex query
3. Prompt interactively for a complex query
4. Show all tagged entries
5. Prompt for a specific tag
6. Prompt for a specific tag (restricting to TODO entries)
7. Show all TODO entries
8. Prompt for a specific TODO
9. Prompt for a specific TODO (restricting to tagged entries)
All this might need to be put in the search functions somehow:
{0,1,2,3} would be the "universal" search functions
{4,5,6} would be the tag search
{7,8,9}would be the TODO search
Well, sorry for such a long input, I hope it's still useful.

[Orgmode] Tip: Interleaving notes and todos
I've recently found it very happen to start adding non-task "notes" into the
flow of my todos.
What I do is make notes look like completed todos. They get entered into the
regular flow, which prompts me either to a) generate a task from them, or b)
simply file them into their related category. Since they are implicit in a
"complete" state, I have org-mode automatically archive them into my todo
archive after a certain number of days.
I set apart the coloring of notes from todo by using the "NOTE" todo state,
and the following face values (note, these assume a white background):
(setq org-todo-keyword-faces
(quote (("TODO" :foreground "medium blue" :weight bold)
("APPT" :foreground "medium blue" :weight bold)
("NOTE" :foreground "dark violet" :weight bold)
("STARTED" :foreground "dark orange" :weight bold)
("WAITING" :foreground "red" :weight bold)
("DELEGATED" :foreground "red" :weight bold
This is paired with the following at the top of my org-mode file:
MY TASKS -*- mode: org; fill-column: 78; after-save-hook:
(archive-done-tasks) -*-
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO STARTED WAITING DELEGATED APPT | DONE DEFERRED CANCELLED NOTE
#+ARCHIVE: archive.txt::
If you're looking for the code behind `archive-done-tasks', just add the
code following this post to your .emacs file.
