Hi,
due to my increasing use of MobileOrg and, as a result, the
synchronisation it provides with Google's calendar, I am finding that
using the :LOCATION: property in an appointment in org is quite
useful. However, most of the time I use org's agenda view to see my
appointments. I have a few questions, if I may:
1. I can use column view in the agenda to see specific
properties. However, column view doesn't work well with the time
grid. Is it possible to include the time information, as shown in
the normal agenda view, in a column view? I currentlly have
: (setq org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%5TODO %40ITEM %LOCATION %TAGS")
which works quite well except for the absence of time information.
2. Can the column view be customised to get rid of the | characters?
They make sense sometimes but I find them ugly in my agenda view.
3. alternatively, can one customise the line for the agenda view to
include specific properties (i.e. LOCATION in my case)? Probably
not... if not, it would be nice to have a fully customisable
org-agenda-line-format variable similar to what gnus provides for
summary lines, group lines, etc. Consider this a feature request
for org 9.0. ;-)
As usual, none of the above is critical in any sense! Just me finding
yet more reasons to avoid getting real work done... ;-)
Thanks,
eric

Maybe you can use %TIMESTAMP for the time?

See `org-agenda-prefix-format' -- maybe you can play with the %(exp)
construct and try to retrieve infos with `org-entry-get' (which see.)
Not tested...

Tested ;)

This works. Thanks. It does have more information than I need
(i.e. the date) but that's okay.
Where can I find out what variables are known to column view in the
agenda? I went through the code but couldn't figure it out. The info
entry on Special Properties seemed to be the obvious place to look but
it has nothing relevant.

I'll look into this. I missed the %(exp) possibility. Thanks again.
