Dear all,
I start to like column view. :)
But as I played around with it, a few questions came up:
- Is there some built-in timestamp property? The background is that
I would like to have a column with a timestamp in it which I can set
manually (but of course, I would like to have the calendar opened up
when I press e on a field of this column, like on a SCHEDULED or
DEADLINE column) I found the TIMESTAMP and TIMESTAMP_IA property in
the manual, but I was not able to use this for my purpose and I also
do not quite understand for what they are useful, but this is
another topic. ;-)
They are a way to access the first normal and inactive time stamps in
an entry - but they cannot be used to set the timestamp when it does
not already exist.
- If there is such a thing as a timestamp column, is there a summary
method which gives me the timestamp farest away or calculates the
maximum difference from today to a timestamp in the past?
Hmm, I remember that James TD Smith implemented at some point. Take a
look at the @min and @max operators for column view, maybe there is
something you can use (I don't know myself, because I have never used
these).
- Is there a way to get column view work with repeated timestamps?
(I would like to have a birthday column with a DEADLINE property and
of course, the birthday repeats every year.)
If the birthday is the *first* non-keyword time stamp, the TIMESTAMP
property should access it.
And two questions, not specifically related to column view:
- What is the fastest/easiest way to reload an org buffer, so that
global settings get loaded (for example changes in global column
definitions)? At the moment I close the buffer with C-k RET and open
it again with C-f M-p RET but this seems a unnecessarily complicated
C-c C-c in any l#+ line.
