Hi,
I sometimes use appt-add as an alarm clock, as it is described in
(info "(emacs) Appointments"). Recently I started using
org-agenda-to-appt, and I wanted to update my appointments every
time that I call the agenda, something like:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'org-agenda-finalize-hook (lambda ()
(org-agenda-to-appt t)))
#+END_SRC
But this removes the entries that appt-add has added, in other
words it removes my alarms.
The attached patch permits that, when refreshing, only
appointments that have the text property org-headline set to t are
deleted. So it would leave any appointments set by appt-add. I do
not know if all the entries that org-agenda-to-appt adds have an
org-headline set to t, from my tests it seems like that is the
case.
The functionality has backward compatibility (uses C-u C-u), but
perhaps it would make more sense to use C-u for refreshing only
org entries and C-u C-u for refreshing everything, or even never
setting appt-time-msg-list to nil from org.
If the patch is approved to refresh the appointments after every
agenda buffer is built while keeping those appointments added by
appt-add, you can do:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'org-agenda-finalize-hook (lambda ()
(org-agenda-to-appt '(16))))
#+END_SRC
Best,
-- Jorge.
