Hi again, apologies, my intention was to reply to my original post: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2016-10/msg00148.html When archiving to datetree: (setq org-archive-location "file.ext::datetree/") ECM: * Minimal Example ** DONE 1: One Empty Line After CLOSED: [2016-06-28 Tue 21:00] ** DONE 2: Two Empty Lines After CLOSED: [2016-06-14 Tue 21:00] ** DONE 3: Extra The following produces unexpected result on "Minimal Example": 1. Archive first TODO "1". 2. Archive second TODO "2". Result (three (3 = 2 +1) empty lines between the tasks, the properties have been deleted for readability): * 2016 ** 2016-06 June *** 2016-06-14 Tuesday **** DONE 2: Two Empty Lines After CLOSED: [2016-06-14 Tue 21:00] :PROPERTIES: :END: *** 2016-06-28 Tuesday **** DONE 1: One Empty Line After CLOSED: [2016-06-28 Tue 21:00] :PROPERTIES: :END: Expected Result: * 2016 ** 2016-06 June *** 2016-06-14 Tuesday **** DONE 2: Two Empty Lines After CLOSED: [2016-06-14 Tue 21:00] :PROPERTIES: :END: *** 2016-06-28 Tuesday **** DONE 1: One Empty Line After CLOSED: [2016-06-28 Tue 21:00] :PROPERTIES: :END: ​The following produces the expected result on "Minimal Example": 1. Archive second TODO "2". 2. Archive first TODO "1". However, I personally think the Desired result would be (two (2) empty lines, that is, respect the original number): ​* 2016 ** 2016-06 June *** 2016-06-14 Tuesday **** DONE 2: Two Empty Lines After CLOSED: [2016-06-14 Tue 21:00] :PROPERTIES: :END: *** 2016-06-28 Tuesday **** DONE 1: One Empty Line After CLOSED: [2016-06-28 Tue 21:00] :PROPERTIES: :END: Could you provide an ECM? > > Thank you. > > Regards, > > -- > Nicolas Goaziou >
