Though... * TEST Do this Simply use S-right arrow to cycle through the different states, and you'll see "NEW>" added many times: - DONE Do this - CANX Do this - Do this - NEW> Do this which "prooves" that "NEW>" is well somehow considered as a TODO state, being added automagically, but the next cycle steps don't succeed... - NEW> NEW> Do this - NEW> NEW> NEW> Do this - ... I find this behavior not entirely satisfying, even if I can fully accept that ">" is a forbidden character in the TODO states. For example, we could think of a warning being generated, or of the state being fully ignored, or ... BTW, do you have an alternative for this "NEW" state, in 4 positions? ;-) Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
