* [BUG] Unable to use TODO(t@!) to track TODO state changes @ 2011-11-09 14:56 Jason Dunsmore 2011-11-09 15:40 ` Giovanni Ridolfi 2011-11-09 16:37 ` suvayu ali 0 siblings, 2 replies; 7+ messages in thread From: Jason Dunsmore @ 2011-11-09 14:56 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode After reading http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tracking-TODO-state-changes, I expected the "@!" TODO syntax, eg. TODO(t@!), to do the following: - Log timestamp when entering state - Add note when entering state This syntax appears to break the functionality, because it does neither. The state is changed with no logging or note prompt. Is this a bug? I verified that the TODO(t@/!) syntax does work as indicated in the manual. - Add note when entering state - Log timestamp when entering state - Log timestamp when exiting state This is with the latest org-mode (commit a4273cbe0e0) and Emacs 23.2.1.

There's definitely a bug; either in the manual or code (or both ;->). -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
