Hi org-moders,
I just started using org-journal (with org-mode 8.2.5h) and went through
the customization options. I wanted my journal files to use YYYY-MM-DD
instead of YYYYMMDD, so I changed two variables:
org-journal-file-format to "%Y-%m-%d"
org-journal-file-pattern to "[0-9]\\{4\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\}"
However, this breaks browsing journal entries with the calendar, as well
as org-journal-open-next-entry and org-journal-open-previous-entry. Poking
around, I found that those two functions, as well as org-journal-get-list,
hard-code the parsing of the filename into year, month, day components.
They assume YYYYMMDD.
That means there are /three/ ways in which the filename format is encoded:
(1) org-journal-file-format to create new entries, (2)
org-journal-file-pattern to find entries on disk and to set
auto-mode-alist, and (3) these three functions, which parse the filename.
All three need to be kept in sync for the calendar integration to work.
Unfortunately (3) is not user-customizable without copying those functions
and modifying them. That means customizing (1) and (2) breaks things. Maybe
org-journal-file-pattern could use explicitly numbered regexp groups to
mark the year, month, day. Or maybe everything can be somehow derived from
org-journal-file-format.
Cheers,
- Amit

I'm not sure org-journal's developer is reading the list.
Maybe you'll get a better answer by filling an issue here:

Hope this helps,
