Hi folks,
I have a question whether the following workflow is possible in orgmode:
- I create a task with a given deadline some time in the future. I
don't want to worry about scheduling it.
- I configure deadline warnings to I get a warning that a deadline is
coming up, say 4 weeks before the deadline. When I see this warning,
I know I will have to schedule the task to work on it.
- Now, with the 4-weeks warning, it would be rather annoying to have the
task show up on every day for the 4 weeks before the task needs to be
completed. So I would like upcoming deadlines to show up in my agenda
view only if the task is not scheduled yet.
Ideally, I think a 2-layered warning system for deadlines would be
useful above. Warn 4 weeks in advance for unscheduled tasks that have a
deadline coming up. Warn, say, 7 days in advance for scheduled but
not completed tasks that have a deadline coming up. Is there any way to
do any of this in orgmode, possibly with some lisp hacking?
Thanks,
Norbert

Hi Norbert,
this is currently not possible, I am afraid.
You could deal with it by hand, by changing the warning period once
you have scheduled the item.

Hi Norbert,
Robert Goldman had the same request - that makes two of you.
Implemented now, please use the variable
org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled.
To get the two-level system you were proposing, set the variable to
a number like 7.
(setq org-deadline-warning-days 30
org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled 7)

Thanks a million, Carsten. I don't know how I would make it through the
day without org-mode!
Cheers,
Norbert

This is cool. I'll test this out. My personal preference would be that
a scheduled date should simply suppress deadline warnings before that
date, and have no effect after it. I'll see if I can implement this as
an option.
