Dear all,
I want to have a todo which repeats indefinitely on weekdays only. I
have the following:
** TODO Dust hard drives
SCHEDULED: <2011-07-04 Mon +1w>
** TODO Dust hard drives
SCHEDULED: <2011-07-05 Tue +1w>
** TODO Dust hard drives
SCHEDULED: <2011-06-29 Wed +1w>
** TODO Dust hard drives
SCHEDULED: <2011-06-30 Thu +1w>
** TODO Dust hard drives
SCHEDULED: <2011-07-01 Fri +1w>
However, I'm sure I'm overlooking something and there is a more elegant
way.
Cheers,
Loris

It does.
But you should be aware that you «lose» a cool feature I was pointed
to: org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift [1]
With this cool thing you can «generate» several simple occurrences
from the recurring entry. I use this to manually delete single
events of a recurring series of events.

It doesn't quite work for me. If I have
* TODO Dust off hard drives
SCHEDULED: <2011-06-29 Wed +1w>
SCHEDULED: <2011-06-30 Thu +1w>
SCHEDULED: <2011-07-01 Fri +1w>
SCHEDULED: <2011-07-04 Mon +1w>
SCHEDULED: <2011-07-05 Tue +1w>
then my agenda looks like this:
Wednesday 29 June 2011
tmp: Scheduled: TODO Dust off hard drives
Thursday 30 June 2011
tmp: Sched. 2x: TODO Dust off hard drives
tmp: Scheduled: TODO Dust off hard drives
Friday 1 July 2011
tmp: Scheduled: TODO Dust off hard drives
If then I mark yesterday's dusting as done in the agenda I get
* TODO Dust off hard drives
SCHEDULED: <2011-07-06 Wed +1w>
- State "DONE" from "TODO" [2011-06-30 Thu 12:33]
SCHEDULED: <2011-07-07 Thu +1w>
SCHEDULED: <2011-07-08 Fri +1w>
SCHEDULED: <2011-07-11 Mon +1w>
SCHEDULED: <2011-07-12 Tue +1w>
and all the tasks until next Wednesday disappear. This doesn't happen if
I have a separate repeating task for each day.

This is not what I suggested.
Try Plain Stamps, not SCHEDULED ones.

Sorry, my bad. But it doesn't make any difference whether I use
SCHEDULED or not. If I mark yesterday's task as complete, all the tasks
until the repetition of the completed task disappear from the agenda.

Argh,
I did a quick test before I suggested it, and I got the impression that
only the one timestamp got reset. Tried again more carefully, nope, all
of them are reset +1w.
Sorry!

Probably you are looking for sexp datestamps:
