org-log-reschedule: inactive time-stamp instead

org-log-reschedule: inactive time-stamp instead

[Karl Voit]

Hi!

I am using org-log-reschedule set to "time" to get LOGBOOK entries
when I reschedule a task.

This is fine so far. However, I'd like to log *inactive* time-stamps
instead of active ones:

,----[ what I get now ]
| :LOGBOOK:
| - Rescheduled from "<2014-12-17 Mi>" on [2014-12-16 Di 17:01]
| :END:
`----

Those active time-stamps clutter my daily agenda a bit. Therefore:

,----[ what I would like to get ]
| :LOGBOOK:
| - Rescheduled from "[2014-12-17 Mi]" on [2014-12-16 Di 17:01]
| :END:
`----

So can someone please add an option for this variable to get
inactive time-stamps?

Thank you very much!

This should be the default behaviour. Have you customized somehow
`org-log-note-headings'?

In my memory, this was the case in the past. My guess is, that this
changed when I did an update of my org git repository.

Currently: Org-mode version 8.3beta (release_8.3beta-544-g77f088)

No, but thanks for the pointer - looks very handy to me!

,----[ my setting which is not customized ]
| Value: ((done . "CLOSING NOTE %t")
|  (state . "State %-12s from %-12S %t")
|  (note . "Note taken on %t")
|  (reschedule . "Rescheduled from %S on %t")
|  (delschedule . "Not scheduled, was %S on %t")
|  (redeadline . "New deadline from %S on %t")
|  (deldeadline . "Removed deadline, was %S on %t")
|  (refile . "Refiled on %t")
|  (clock-out . ""))
`----

I could not locate anything suspicious in my config file[1] via "M-x
occur" + "active".

Hi Karl,
did you find a solution in the meantime? I'm having the same problem and the
active timestamps are also bothering me as rescheduled tasks which
originally were scheduled for today stay in my daily agenda and clutter it.

I wonder if I get something wrong, but in the variable org-log-note-headings
I see

  Heading when rescheduling
  String: Rescheduled from %S on %t
Shouldn't the %S represent a TODO state (which makes no sense)?
Can I replace it by an inactive timestamp?

Kind regards
Martin

Hi,

I had the same problem and implemented a quick'n dirty solution :

(defun dmd-org-active-timestamp-to-inactive-when-rescheduled ()
  "Convert some variable with active timestamp to inactive one."
  (when (eq org-log-note-purpose 'reschedule)
    (setq org-log-note-previous-state
          (substitute ?\] ?\> (substitute ?\[ ?\< org-log-note-previous-state :test #'char-equal)
                      :test #'char-equal))))

(add-hook 'org-log-buffer-setup-hook 'dmd-org-active-timestamp-to-inactive-when-rescheduled)

It works for me but it should probably be fixed in org-mode itself.

Best,

%S represents the last "state". If you change a TODO keyword, is also
a TODO keyword (or lack thereof). If you alter a timestamp, it is that
timestamp.

> Can I replace it by an inactive timestamp?

Is there any use case for an active timestamp at this location anyway?
If there is not, we could automatically convert it to an inactive
timestamp.

WDYT?

Salut Nicolas,

thanks a lot for your explanations!
If the timestamp would automatically be converted to an inactive one, hat
would be perfect from my point of view.

How can we achievve that?
(I'm sorry, but I am still quite clueless concerning ELISP :-) )

Kind regards

Martin

I don't have any use for an active location here. IMO it clutters the agenda
with senseless entries.
