Subject: Timestamp display behavior in timeline view
Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2010 10:13:55 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D160A33.7080608@mit.edu> (raw)

I am trying out the timeline view in 7.4 and am wondering whether this 
is expected behavior:

0. create entries with timestamps [1]
1. M-x org-agenda
2. L (Timeline for current buffer)
3. current behavior:
   ( + is unsurprising, ! is surprising, ? is not sure whether to be 
surprised)
   + entries without time information not displayed
   + timestamps without text not displayed
   ! entries with timestamps display the text, but not the timestamp
   + timestamp ranges with text displayed as-is
   ? timestamp ranges without text are displayed as-is
   ? cycling TODO state with "t" in the agenda view causes non-displayed 
timestamp to appear
   ? cycling out of TODO again keeps the timestamp visible

I can understand that TODO will want to read the timestamp information 
out, but since ranges without text appear, but single timestamps don't, 
maybe there is something unexpected here. I haven't found it mentioned 
anywhere yet in my searches, nor have I looked at the code. If this can 
be modified via the source or a configuration, I'd greatly appreciate 
some advice.

Thanks, and happy holidays!
