(and of course to rename all functions accordingly) I totally agree. At first, I could not follow Feng Shu's explanation because I thought that some (meta-) data gets expired after a certain period of time. But then I realized that he meant that these things expired in the past. >From the user point of view, I also do think that renaming the property from :EXPIRE: to :IGNORE: would be better in terms of understanding its purpose and how it works. (If you do tend to keep the wording, I would at least rename it to :EXPIRED: which emphasizes the fact that these things expired in the past.) -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
