Re: [Orgmode] Re: Q: How to search dates within current week
Hi Carsten, Sorry for taking so long to reply you. Being a newbie, it's taken me more time than usual to figure things out. I've added an update to my query Q: How to search dates within current week. Regarding updating the documentation, my suggestion would be to add to Section 10.5 Commands in the agenda buffer : `l' Toggle Logbook mode. In Logbook mode, entries that were marked DONE while logging was on (variable `org-log-done') are shown in the agenda, as are entries that have been clocked on that day. You can configure the entry types that should be included in log mode using the variable `org-agenda-log-mode-items'. When called with a `C-u' prefix, show all possible logbook entries, including state changes. When called with two prefix args `C-u C-u', show only logging information, nothing else. | Logbook mode off will show scheduled items while logbook mode on will | show closed times in your selected time frame. The time frame depends | on whether you are in agenda daily, week, month, year or Timeline view. Thanks for a great tool and your high level of support, Happy Thanksgiving! -- Original Message -- From: Carsten Dominik carsten.domi...@gmail.com To: tan@juno.com Cc: be...@norang.ca, emacs-orgmode@gnu.org Subject: Re: [Orgmode] Re: Q: How to search dates within current week Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2009 08:36:02 +0200 Hi, if you have a proposal how to improve the documentation, let me know. - Carsten Weight Loss Program Best Weight Loss Program - Click Here! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2131/c?cp=_4cTFOFEA3tOS8LqYeEQwgAAJz2dHEwHj3vEVwLaaaOeXNfeAAYAAADNAAAEUgA= ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Hi, Problem : search for CLOSED items in current week It turns out that Orgmode has the functionality all along but being a newbie, I did not ask the right question. Bernt Hansen's suggestion to use Timeline with C-u l provided the clue. When I view the weekly agenda ( C-c a a ), I get a list of scheduled items. Press l to turn on logbook mode and presto!, I get a list of items closed for the same week. I can change the time period with d,w,m,y to get daily, weekly, monthly or yearly view. To see the entire file, I switch to Timeline, and then turn on logbook mode. In summary, logbook mode off always shows scheduled items while logbook mode on always shows closed times. The time frame being displayed depends on whether you are viewing daily, monthly, yearly or timeline. The other neat thing is that when you press left or right to shift the date window, the logbook mode shows the closed items for the correct time frame.

What I would probably do if this is something you need often is make a custom agenda view which sets org-agenda-log-mode-items to closed, and then view the agenda for a week starting from some specific date with the log items on. This should be much faster than the timeline view (L) since it limits the date range you are looking at. -Bernt Plumber Click now for prescreened plumbing contractors. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2131/c?cp=u-4ffF4TG3YPhH71uMiC2wAAJz2dHEwHj3vEVwLaaaOeXNfeAAYAAADNAAAndwA= ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

It is also possible there are simpler solutions I have not thought of. For example, the Timeline would serve my purpose except that currently, it only shows scheduled items, not closed items. The timeline might work - you can display closed and other timestamps in the log with C-u l or configure what is displayed by default with l using org-agenda-log-mode-items.
