In-Reply-To: Message from Bernt Hansen <bernt@norang.ca> of "Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:10:08 EDT." <87my8puoa7.fsf@gollum.intra.norang.ca>
[Bernt, thanks very much for taking the time to do the set-up: it makes
things so much easier!]
I've made a little progress debugging this in the case of the
org-agenda-start-with-log-mode variable: the doc for it says
,----
| org-agenda-start-with-log-mode is a variable defined in `org-agenda.el'.
| Its value is nil
|
| Documentation:
| The initial value of log-mode in a newly created agenda window.
|
| You can customize this variable.
`----
Note that *initial*: it is only used once, in org-agenda-mode, to
initialize org-agenda-show-log. So setting it in the definition of an
agenda custom command (effectively in a (let ...) form) will not work:
org-agenda-mode has been called already by the time the custom command
is executed, and the global value of org-agenda-start-with-log-mode has
been used to set org-agenda-show-log. Any local binding later on has no
effect at all.
So the workaround for this variable is to set org-agenda-show-log in the
definition of the custom command. The following works as far as the log
goes:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("c" "The Cycle"
((agenda ""
(
(org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%75ITEM %7Effort{:} %7CLOCKSUM{Total} %15TAGS %SCHEDULED") ;; no
(org-agenda-view-columns-initially t) ;; no
(org-agenda-show-log t) ;;yes
(org-agenda-ndays 1) ;; yes
(org-agenda-skip-function ;; yes
'(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notregexp "\\* TODO")))))
nil nil)))
I presume that a similar problem afflicts the column view variables,
but I have not gone there yet.
Thanks,
Nick
