feature request - clock gaps and overlaps in different colors
Dear All, I have a suggestion that should be really easy to realize and help a lot. In the agenda view one can show clock gaps and overlaps with the 'v c' command. Both are shown in the same color. However, for me gaps occur very often and naturally and usually don't hurt while overlaps really indicate an error. I have recently gone through a whole year to check for overlaps. This would have been much easier if the colors would have been different. Gaps in blue, overlaps in red, for instance. I know there are also other events, such as 'No end time' or if the time is unusually long. Maybe one could use different color for all of these. Best, Laurenz.
new org mode, changed folding behavior could be improved / more consistent
Hi, org mode has apparently been rewritten somehow. At least I noticed a few differences after updating to the new Debian version. For instance, it got much faster. GREAT! There is one feature however that I really miss: It used to be that I could add an entry with a certain number of stars in the first line, and then 'org-global-cycle' using S-TAB would allow to make all the headlines visible only up to that many stars. For instance, a file with *** - * 1 Text 1 ** 2 Text 2 *** 3 Text 3 4 Text 4 after one or two S-TAB (depending on the initial folding state) would look like *** - * 1 ** 2 *** 3 without the 4-star headline visible. If I remove one star in the first line and type S-TAB once or twice, then it looks like ** - * 1 ** 2 I found that a convenient way of controlling the depth of the CONTENT view (I believe it is called). That does not work any more. Typing S-TAB once or twice leads to the CONTENTS view that shows all headlines, no matter how many stars and independently of the first line. I have read that I can get the desired behavior with a numerical argument. So, I have a work around. GREAT! However, I find it inconsistent, that 'org-global-cycle' and 'org-cycle' work differently. The latter shows the old behavior (GREAT!), but can apparently not be controlled directly with a numerical argument, while for the former it is the other way around. I suggest, to enable the trick with the first line for both 'org-global-cycle' and 'org-cycle' and to also enable overwriting this with a numerical argument. Here is an example for 'org-cycle' * 1 *** - ** A *** Aa Text ** B *** Ba Ba1 Text Typing TAB once or twice (depending on the initial folding state) on the main headline (* 1) yields the view: * 1 *** - ** A *** Aa ** B *** Ba If I remove one star in the second line (*** -), typing TAB yields * 1 ** - ** A ** B So, that still works. But a numerical argument has no effect. However, I found that C-c TAB (org-show-children) does this, but why not just numerical argument plus TAB, like for S-TAB? Anyhow, I am extremely grateful for the org-mode and I use it daily. Thanks a lot. Best, Laurenz Wiskott.
