Hello,
I'm creating a new org file today and I'm using work estimates that use
day(d) and week(w) modifiers. Specifically, I have the following defined:
#+PROPERTY: Effort_ALL 0 1:00 4:00 1d 2d 1w 2w
#+COLUMNS: %40ITEM(Task) %17Effort(Estimated Effort){:} %CLOCKSUM
The problem I'm having is with column-mode and the estimate effort sum. It
appears that the normal effort summation wants purely HH:MM formatted work
estimates. I spent some time trying to understand that part of the code but
some of those column functions are pretty big (read: I'm a semi-literate
elisper). I did come up with the following to define my own summary-type ":d"
#+begin_src elisp
(add-to-list 'org-columns-compile-map
'(":d" add_duration
(lambda (&rest x) (apply '+ (mapcar
'org-duration-string-to-minutes (mapcar 'prin1-to-string x))))) t)
#+end_src
First version wasn't using the prin1-to-string and I noticed
"org-duration-string-to-minutes" was being passing only the integer part of
a "1d" work effort. Adding the prin1-to-string processing merely made it
not error anymore but still isn't doing what I'd like.
Is there a way to get the entire work effort passed to my function? Or a
better suggestion?
Thanks,
