I often need to find recently modified entries. I try to timestamp
entries I work on with the active timestamps (in angular brackets),
and use the C-x a L command. This mostly works, but is imperfect:
- when i use time logging, it inserts inactive timestamps that
are not found this way. so, i can't use this to find recently worked
on entries.
I believe that's because org-mode, in general, treats active timestamps
as scheduling data -- i.e., things you need to do. I.e., it is optimized
for using inactive timestamps to indicate recently worked on items.
- it looks at the _first_ timestamp in an entry, rather than the
_last_ timestamp
Could you give an example? When I try C-c a L, it creates separate
instances for each timestamp in an entry.
E.g., the following file...
--8---cut here---start-8---
* A test
2009-09-25 Fri
2009-09-26 Sat
--8---cut here---end---8---
becomes...
--8---cut here---start-8---
Friday 25 September 2009
A test
---
Saturday 26 September 2009
A test
--8---cut here---end---8---
- it is limited to one file . would be much better if it could
be made to work across the entire agenda.
- it would be fine to have the option to limit it to entries
within the last, say, week, if that would speed it up.
Depending on whether or not Carsten decides to change the behavior of
the timeline view ;) , you could always use a custom agenda command to
accomplish the same thing.
The suggestion is to enhance the timeline agenda with options to:
- recognize inactive timestamps ([in square brackets])
See the variable org-agenda-inactive-timestamps.
It would also be _really_ great if the chronological listing could be
filtered to contain only entries matching a certain tag/property
query.
Try filtering the timeline with /.
Best,
Matt
