Gershman" Cc: Org-Mode List Hi David, this is a very interesting problem. Apparently you are using (setq org-id-method 'org) This method uses a compact encoding of the current time, to microsecond accuracy, as part of the UID. The fact that some of the IDs you get are the same could mean that you are using a very fast machine that parses several entries in the same microsecond. However, the large jump in the ID after the constant period seems to indicate that maybe your system does not communicate microsecond accurate time to Emacs. One way out would be to switch to uuidgen for ID creation, maybe that behaves better on your system? - Carsten On Jul 30, 2009, at 9:55 PM, David A.
