Subject: Re: Export datetree item subtree with its date, not the file's
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2015 17:49:23 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wpuhsih8.fsf@gkayaalp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87mvvi9cgb.fsf@kyleam.com> (Kyle Meyer's message of "Sat, 17 Oct 2015 03:33:08 -0400")

Hello,

Thanks  for your  response.  As  you suggest,  I switched  to using  the
EXPORT_DATE property.  It works as expected.

Now a little problem  that I have is that I  cannot have timestamps like
«10 September 2015» in my exports, but a literal inactive timestamp.

This is because in  the related capture template, I have  to use `%u' to
add a timestamp, which adds an inactive timestamp, reusing the date that
I entered into  the datetree prompt.  There is the  %<...> directive for
the capture  templates which allows  me to put in  a time format,  as in
`format-time-string',  but it  gets its  value from  `current-time', not
from the date  of the datetree prompt.  Now  I do not know if  this is a
feature or  a bug, but if  I want to  copy over lecture notes  from some
time ago, it's a problem.
