Dear Experts,
How do I make it so that column-view shows the duration of a scheduled task?
I now that if I do something like
* my top node
:PROPERTIES:
:COLUMNS: %40ITEM %%10SCHEDULED
:END:
and then create a dynamic-block I can get a table to show the scheduled
time, but what do I do if I want the duration of a scheduled task?
Thanks,
-Emin

Actually, I can almost figure out how to do this myself if I knew what
function to use to convert a string like
SCHEDULED: <2010-08-12 Thu 10:20-10:45>
into a duration. If I call org-time-string it only gives me the first part
of the date and ignores the ending point.
Any tips on what org-mode function to use to get the duration of a scheduled
time?

Try this function on the scheduled timestamp:
,----
| (defun bzg-duration-of-timestamp-at-point ()
| "Compute the duration of the timestamp at point."
| (interactive)
| (save-excursion
| (forward-line 0)
| (when (re-search-forward "\\<SCHEDULED: *<\\([^>]+\\) \\([0-9]+:[0-9]+\\)--?\\([0-9]+:[0-9]+\\)>" nil t)
| (let ((date (match-string 1))
| (t1 (match-string 2))
| (t2 (match-string 3)))
| (- (org-time-string-to-seconds (concat date " " t2))
| (org-time-string-to-seconds (concat date " " t1)))))))
`----
HTH,
