Eric - I'm using "Org-mode version 8.2.7c (release_8.2.7c
@ /home/boudiccas/git/org-mode/lisp/)", which is fairly recent so
should be okay.
Hmm, if they work for you then its something in my set-up. And after
having a play, the cookie is only changed when it is toggled [C-c C-t] to
"Waiting" which then shows
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** WAITING Anise
CLOSED: [2014-08-20 Wed 10:29]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And only _waiting_ shows as closed, none of these other conditions do -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TODO: TODO DONE NEXT IN-PROGRESS NOTES FIXME WAITING
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The conditions are set specifically for this one file, and I've just
reverted to a previous 'setq org-todo-keyword-faces' and that now shows
those sections marked as 'DONE' as being closed.
If I 'C-c C-c' a TODO item, whether showing as "TODO/DONE/whatever" it
triggers the setting of 'org-tags'! So something is screwy there, but I
don't know what! But it does not trigger the insertion of "CLOSED:<the-date>"
Nick - I do have 'org-provide-todo-statistics' set to "t"
I've just uploaded my 'setup-orgmode.el' file to my bitbucket, at
"https://bitbucket.org/boudiccas/dots/src/d1c750572c9367c3d86b5a1f9cfa200e07e9d988/emacs/setup-orgmode.el?at=master"
and I would be very grateful if anybody could tell me where I'm going
wrong, and then how to put it right, please?
I think that the problems all stem from my set-up, but I can't see exactly
where.
Thanks
Sharon.
