It occurred to me that since I need to export to LaTeX for printing and then paste my work notes into a technical notebook for IP purposes (at least until the US completes its transition to first to file patent law), I could sparse tree search for entries since I last printed (I aim for 1x per week) and easily call those out of my structure for export. My issue is that I typically use inactive timestamps to record logs. Furthermore, I only use scheduled or deadline timestamps for todos, not journal logs of work I'm doing. It seems that =C-c / [a/b/D]= only works for deadline or scheduled active timestamps, not active or inactive time stamps alone. Is this correct or am I doing something wrong? If it is correct... could a feature be added in which inactive or active timestamps simply recording dates could be added to the search options? Perhaps this can be done via the regexp option and I'm just unaware that this is how individuals accomplish the above. Thanks for any suggestions! John

On my TODO list. Understandable and I completely see why this would be low on the list compared to all the other stuff going on in wonderful org-mode land. Thanks for the consideration!

I've just implemented this.
See `org-sparse-tree-default-date-type' for more.
You can use `c' after `C-c /' to cycle through possible date
interpretations.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. This is pure awesome and lets me do exactly what I
hoped. Thanks so much!
