Hello Tassilo,
First, I took a look at the lines
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(org-agenda-to-appt t)
(appt-activate 1)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This is already a good starting point, just 3 remarks:
- I think, I'll need a filter for org-agenda-to-appt, because I only
want TODO items. Should be no problem.
- How to distinguish between SCHEDULED and DEADLINE? I'll
investigate...
- Perhaps the main problem: appt does not know about warning periods.
There are items with "-3d", other with "-5M"[1]. There is only one
universal appt-message-warning-time. Would it be possible, to have a
individual warning-time for each todo-item, directly computed from the
warning time in the org-timestamp?
In the meantime, I'll take a look at your th-appt-alarm.
Thanks for your code!
Peter
Footnotes:
[1] That means "warn 5 minutes before". I don't know, if org-mode
supports this. "-2H" for hours would be useful too.
