Subject: Avoid canceling of events which do have multiple time-stamps
Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2014 11:43:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2014-11-07T11-42-46@devnull.Karl-Voit.at> (raw)
Hi!
Sometimes, I use single events and use
"org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift" to create clones for multiple
occurrences. (method A)
: ** <2014-08-30 Sat 15:00-17:00> Volleyball
:
: Do some sport.
For other events, I do have one single "* Volleyball" heading and
multiple time-stamps for each occurrence in its body. (method B)
:
: ** Volleyball
:
: - <2014-08-30 Sat 15:00-17:00>
: - <2014-09-06 Sat 15:00-17:00>
: - <2014-09-13 Sat 15:00-17:00>
Unfortunately in the agenda view, both entries are visualized the same
way. This is causing issues in certain cases.
For example, when I see an event on my agenda and I know that I don't
have time for it, I usually cancel the event right away in my agenda.
However, when this time-stamp occured only in the body of a heading
(method B), cancelling does cancel *all* occurrences. For example when
I cancel "Volleyball" on the agenda of 2014-09-06, I'd cancel also
2014-08-30 (in the past) and 2014-09-13 (in the future).
And much worse: I do not notice my error.
There is a certain issue with this: how to determine whether or not a
time-stamp is the only one or if it is mentioned in the heading
itself.
Is there a clever way to differ the two methods so that we are able to
come up with different visualizations?
What are your thoughts on this issue?
