Subject: surprising(?) interaction between agenda grid and default-duration
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2021 13:53:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211119135325.7f3f85a9@hsu-hh.de> (raw)
Hi all!
I you specify a default duration of an event, say,
(setq org-agenda-default-appointment-duration 60)
and specify a time grid, say
(setq org-agenda-time-grid '((today remove-match)
(800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000)
"......" "----------------" ))
Then setting the default duration overrides the grid appearance.
I.E.
(setq org-agenda-default-appointment-duration nil)
(setq org-agenda-time-grid '((today remove-match)
(800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000)
"......" "----------------" ))

as expected, but
(setq org-agenda-default-appointment-duration 60)
(setq org-agenda-time-grid '((today remove-match)
(800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000)

caught me by surprise. Even the 2 hour block length setting is overridden.
If this should be considered a bug, I don't know. But maybe the manual
should mention and describe the relationship between these settings?
As the description of org-agenda-default-appointment-duration does not
mention the grid at all, I would think the logical improvement would be
to let the grid alone and use the default duration as advertised only.
org-version 9.4.4
emacs-version 27.2
All the best
