The background is that I would like to have a column with a timestamp in it which I can set manually (but of course, I would like to have the calendar opened up when I press "e" on a field of this column, like on a SCHEDULED or DEADLINE column) I found the TIMESTAMP and TIMESTAMP_IA property in the manual, but I was not able to use this for my purpose and I also do not quite understand for what they are useful, but this is another topic. ;-) - If there is such a thing as a timestamp column, is there a summary method which gives me the timestamp farest away or calculates the maximum difference from today to a timestamp in the past? - Is there a way to get column view work with repeated timestamps? (I would like to have a birthday column with a DEADLINE property and of course, the birthday repeats every year.) And two questions, not specifically related to column view: - What is the fastest/easiest way to reload an org buffer, so that global settings get loaded (for example changes in global column definitions)? At the moment I close the buffer with C-k RET and open it again with C-f M-p RET but this seems a unnecessarily complicated Thank you in advance for any suggestions/comments and also thank you, Carsten, for this wonderful tool. :-) Greetings, Friedericksen
