Search in the archive file by date

Hello,

When someone asks you: "Hey, do you remember what you have done last day
x?", it would be useful to query org to return in the archive for the items
that have been closed that day. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

Marcelo.

Sure. Let me tell you how I would do it:

|---------+---------------------------------------|
| C-c a a | the same as M-x org-agenda RET a      |
| v A     | include all archive-files             |
| j       | select the date you want to view      |
| ]       | this will include inactive timestamps |
|---------+---------------------------------------|

I like 'l' as well, which will include (or exclude, based on your
setting) all the clock times that day.

Hope that helps.

The feature of including inactive timestamps is interesting.

For some reason, it is bound to org-agenda-manipulate-query-subtract,
in a recent org.

That's the correct function IIRC.  [ and ] map to -add and -subtract
respectively.  It works fine here to display inactive timestamps on the
agenda.

The docstring in release_6.32.4.ge47b refers to the function described
by its name.

Hi, thank you for the reply, bejamin.

Your suggestion didn't work quite well for me. My archive file,
newgtd.org_archive, has all my DONE items, archived. I use the
org-archive-subtree to move them there when I'm done with an item, but this
function does not tag the items with the :ARCHIVE: tag. Here's how an
archived item looks like:

* DONE Fix the lisp function that searches through the rails api
:OFFICE:
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ARCHIVE_TIME: 2009-07-31 Fri 19:44
  :ARCHIVE_FILE: ~/org/gtd/newgtd.org
  :ARCHIVE_OLPATH: Tasks
  :ARCHIVE_CATEGORY: newgtd
  :ARCHIVE_TODO: DONE
  :END:

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Marcelo.

Did you try it?  v A in the agenda includes all trees in my
*.org_archive files -- they don't need a :ARCHIVE: tag to be included.
