Capture and checkitem

Capture and checkitem

[julien cubizolles]

I'm also confused about the checkitem type of template.

The following template :

("T" "test" checkitem (file+headline "~/org/orgfiles/test.org" "Test")
"%?")

doesn't work as I expected : the capture buffer is not narrowed and no
item is created...

However, the item template type works as a checkitem should if one adds
a "[ ]" in the text : 

("T" "test" item (file+headline "~/org/orgfiles/test.org" "Test")
  " [ ] %?")

What is the checkitem type supposed to do ?

Julien.

I can confirm this for

Org-mode version 7.01trans (release_7.01h.115.g1f17)

on

GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0) of
 2010-08-14 on raven, modified by Debian

with emacs -Q an this capture template:

(setq org-capture-templates
      '(("t" "Todo" checkitem (file+headline "/tmp/org/inbox.org" "TEST")
	 "Test")))

The file and the headline do exists; when calling `org-capture' Org
creates the indirect buffer, does not narrow to headline TEST and
point is at the beginning of this headline.

Best,

This bug is fixed now.  There were two issues.  One was that the  
checkitem
stuff was not handled correctly.  The other problem did affect both
item and checkitem:  When there is currently no plain list in the  
outline
entry, it would place the item into another list found in the same  
direction,
even it it was in another outline entry.

Both issues are fixed, I think.

Thanks for report and confirmation!
