Of course, that is a typo. ;-)

But that is not a typo. 

Correct me, but with your solution, tasks become available 
(schedule date arrives) and then they will show up on the 
daily agenda. And they will show up there every day until 
I mark the task as done. That is not really what I'd like 
to achieve (not archive!) since tasks with start dates are 
tasks I can do when the start date arrived but do not have 
to do on a special date.

My workflow is as follows: I have a look at my daily agenda 
to find out what I have to do that day. There I can find 
tasks that are scheduled or have a deadline. When I finished 
these tasks and still have time to do some more work, I do 
agenda searches for tags and/or todo keywords. So, tasks 
with only a start date should never show up on my daily 
agenda. They should be hidden from all agenda searches until 
the start date arrives. Until then they should be available 
for all agenda searches (but they should not show up on the 
daily agenda list until I define a schedule date).

Is that also possible or am I the only person that has a 
need for this? ;-)

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Karl
