I have a capture template like this:
'(org-capture-templates
(quote
(("a" "" entry
(file "~/org/capture.org")
"** TODO %?
SCHEDULED: %^t"))))
When I use that, the date prompt defaults to yesterday, whereas I'd expect
it to default to today.
I believe this is because I also have (setq org-extend-today-until 2).
What happens is that (org-get-cursor-date) gets the right _date_, then
converts that to a time at midnight, i.e. <date> 00:00. And then, I
presume, some following code thinks that means <date>-1, because of my
org-extend-today-until setting.
Thoughts?
Many thanks,
Neil

Well I think it's a bug and propose the attached fix. Please let me know
what you think.

Nicolas, I hope you don't mind me sending a 'ping' for this, as it looks
like it might have got lost. Please do let me know what you think.
Best wishes,
Neil

I'm not sure this is a right fix. Doesn't it force default times to noon
instead of midnight? I think default times should be midnight.
So the fix probably lies elsewhere. (Also, not the "important" section
in `org-extend-today-until').

Yes, it does make the default time noon. But AFAICS the time of day
doesn't actually matter in any of the Org source code where the result of
org-get-cursor-date is used. Have I missed a case where it does matter?
However, in the attached patch I've revised that so that the default time
of day is <org-extend-today-until>:00am, i.e. it's the earliest time that
Org treats as being that date. WDYT?
Alternatively, we could refactor the code around where org-get-cursor-date
is used to make it more explicit when the time of day doesn't matter, and
look further if there are any cases where it does.
Best wishes,
Neil

Probably not. I didn't check. But this could become a future gotcha.

I think this is better. I applied your patch. Thank you.

I think the current state is sufficient.
