Hi all —
I want to be able to skim across my agenda and see effort estimates. I have been looking at the variable org-agenda-prefix-format and wondering if use of the expression evaluation option in there is the way to do it. However, while I have configured this prefix to suit me in other ways, writing a suitable expression to include the effort of the item is beyond my current skills. Any advice?
TIA!
— Michael

Use %e format for effort. If it gives you an error you need newer
org-mode, as the patch to fix %e format only got applied recently.

I do try to keep current, but apparently I missed that! I see it in the docstring, but I don't see its usage explained (in the docstring or in the manual). Am I overlooking it?
Thank you, regardless — exactly what I needed.

I confirm the explanation is missing from the doc.

This is to be used with caution: I had put it in my config file, used by other
Org users, and they experienced immediately an "out-of-args" error, inhibiting
them forever to access the agenda from that point in time.
Cause: they use the stable 7.7, hence do not have that feature accessible.
Though, is there a way to make a unknown format specifier have less
problematic impact on users?
Best regards,
Seb

Could you provide a patch for that?
Thanks!

I just added a line in the docstring of `org-agenda-prefix-format'.
Thanks!

If you only leave me less than 7 minutes to do it... I can't ;-)

Good you did it straight away.
