[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 315 bytes --] Hello, I discovered you can use "[/]" and "[%]" as cookies and have them updated as you complete subnodes. "[3/7]", or "[20%]" and so on. Would it be possible to code a similar cookie ("[:]" to be expanded into "01:10" for example) that you could update with C-c C-c, or better yet, automatically! Thanks, Noah [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 566 bytes --]

Would this [01:10] cookie mean that you spent one minute on ten
minutes of efforts?
The question is more to give you a chance to convince me,
because while I find the idea quite appealing, I think we're
growing a bit too fat cookie-wise.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 910 bytes --] I don't use estimates, so I hadn't thought about that. "[01:10]" would mean I had spent 1hr 10m on this node, and all subnodes. Similarly, "[2d 01:10]" would mean I had spent 2d, 1hr, and 10m on this node, and all subnodes. I've already started hacking on this, and can share the patch if it's something you're interested in reviewing/integrating.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1582 bytes --] I should add: I'm doing this because I don't like the org-clock-display. I have detailed this in another post, but in summary: - It doesn't work very well with indent turned on (I have a sort of patch for this) - Alignment of the the numbers seems wrong - It messes up the "..." when you fold a node - Headlines are not editable (I customised the font face after sending my previous email on this topic.) Even if we manage to fix org-clock-display (and I am willing to help) I think cookies feel very natural here also. Not sure what to do about estimates.

Since `org-clock-display' has been fixed, can you first check if the current behavior better fits your needs? > I've already started hacking on this, and can share the patch if it's > something you're interested in reviewing/integrating. I'm reluctant adding more cookies because they add temporary content to the headline. -- Bastien
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 820 bytes --] Okay, yep. I'm happy with the org-clock-display stuff for now. Thanks for your responses on this thread.
