Hi Carsten and all,
it's been one year now that I stopped actively contributing to Org, but
I didn't stop using it, of course. Here is a loooong list of questions
and suggestions I have. I tested them over a fresh Org and Emacs, both
pulled from their repos this morning.
I apologize if most of this has already been mentionned in discussions I
missed - I digged the mailing list a bit but I didn't check thoroughly.
Thanks!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BUG: When export a descriptive list to ASCII, replace the ":"
separator by a single ":".
- BUG: Switch to a state requiring an annotation, cancel the annotation,
there will be an empty :LOGBOOK: drawer. Remove it?
- BUG: When picking up a date with `org-time-stamp', <up> and <down> will
browse the minibuffer history. I think it does not make sense here.
- BUG/FR: When building completion list for refiling, don't include the
very entry we are trying to refile.
- BUG: In agenda mode, C-e goes to the [last-1] char of the line. (Note
that this is not visible when the entries finishes with a link.)
- BUG: Weird result of C-c * when used before the first heading.
- BUG: Properties inserting in a remember buffer are not indented
correctly when the remember note goes to its target. For example:
* My remember note
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 10
:END:
Is refiled to the Notes entries:
* Notes
** My remember note
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 10
:END:
... but the drawer does not align with the stars.
- BUG?: When deleting an attachment, the :ID: property is not itself
deleted. Not sure if it's wrong, but it's weird.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- FR: In addition to the {+} {:} facilities for dynamically computing a
property's value, have a way to use a calc or a tbl formula?
Additionnally, have a _DEFAULT suffix to define defaults.
- FR: A function to display the link the cursor is on (the same way the
mouse displays a small popup.) This function would particularily be
useful in the agenda view.
- FR: C-c C-l in agenda view to edit link at point? (Or is this
producing to much overlap between org-agenda and the normal org
editing mode?)
- FR: Highlight the currently clocked-in task in agenda-mode?
- FR: When selecting an attachment, if there is already a directory
defined for this the current entry, then use this directory as the
default directory for browsing and select the attachment.
- FR: All numeric values within brackets are highlighted. Since this
type of footnotes is now discouraged, I think it make sense not to
highlight those values (having digits in square brackets is not so
rare.)
- FR: When refiling to a non-existent entry, create this entry on the
fly?
- FR: Allow to insert "+1d"-type strings when picking up a date with
`org-time-stamp'.
- FR: Symmetric to individual lead time, I wish I can have individual
"remaining" time - for example, the number of days during which a
deadline is still visible in the agenda view. (That would happily
steal 90% of what org-expiry.el is trying to achieve.)
- FR: IMHO, turning off follow-mode in the agenda view should restore
the window configuration we had before turning follow-mode on. (By
the way, not being able to use `C-x 1' when follow-mode is on is quite
confusing.)
- FR: Following a sh: or an elisp: link prompts the user for
confirmation. Can we have a variable that let the user to globally
turn this off?
- FR: Visually mark (with #) entries that are marked in the agenda view?
- FR: When setting a mark in the agenda view, go to the next line?
(Like in buffer-menu and other menu mode.)
- FR: When undoing an archive command, correctly delete was has been
added to the archive file?
- FR: Symmetric to `C-c / b' have a `C-c / a' command to select entries
that are after a date?
- FR: Maybe `?' could provide a little help in agenda mode.
- FR: Grouping several :clock: lines when clocking periods are very
close to each other (with a user-defined threshold). For example,
clocking 5 times 10 minutes within the same hour would be rounded up
to one hour.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q: How to set a recurring time range (say an 2-days event)?
For example: <2009-03-14 sam>--<2009-03-15 dim> recurring each month.
I know I could use a diary sexp but I wonder if it's possible withing
Org's syntax.
- Q: Is there a way to select properties which values are = < > to a
numeric value?
- Q: `org-attach-auto-tag' has no effect when attaching a directory
(instead of a file)?
- Q/FR: Is there a way to set `org-enforce-todo-dependencies' per task?
(By the way, if I understand correctly, the :ORDERED: property only
makes sense when `org-enforce-todo-dependencies' is non-nil, right?)
- Q/FR: How to go at the end of a field in a table? Maybe C-a and C-e
could be contextually redefined to do this, since a table is such a
specific editing context.
- Q/FR: How to delete the timestamp of an entry from the agenda? Maybe
`C-c C-d SPC', `C-c C-s SPC' could respectively delete deadlines and
scheduled properties. Or maybe C-c C-u could remove any timestamp
(this keystroke is free in org-agenda-mode since outline-mode is not
loaded.)
Thanks for any feedback,
