Any reason not to generate my own custom ID value (NOT CUSTOM_ID)?

Any reason not to generate my own custom ID value (NOT CUSTOM_ID)?

[TRS-80]

First, I want to express my sincere and heart-felt gratitude to Carsten 
(and other contributors) for making and sharing this wonderful piece of 
software.  I have come to refer to it as "one of the gateway drugs to 
Emacs" (the other being Magit, IMHO).  It was certainly one of (if not 
/the/) main reason(s) why I started using Emacs initially.

I could in fact gush all day, however people are busy, so, on to the 
main issue...  :)

It seems to me that there is nothing really stopping me from inserting 
whatever value I like for value of "ID" Property.  Based on brief 
experimentation, org-store-link and org-insert-link seem to happily 
accept whatever value is already there (which I entered manually, for 
testing purposes).

However I seem to recall reading some warning somewhere about this, 
although I cannot seem to find it right now.

What I would like to do, is generate my own ID values in a more human 
readable format, something "ISO-like" for example "2020-09-10-1433" (as 
opposed to the default "uuid" method).  These sort of ID are still 
"Unique" (well, within my own system, anyway) as long as I am not 
generating them more often than once per minute[0].  And they have the 
advantages of being shorter, human readable, and meaningful.

Even when org-id-link-to-org-use-id and org-id-track-globally are both 
set to "t", org-id seems happy to insert my "ISO-like" ID right into the 
hash table and org-id-locations-file.

I do need the "across files" functionality.  My understanding is that 
this is main difference between ID and CUSTOM_ID (the latter being local 
only to the file).  Unless I am misunderstanding?

So, what am I missing here?  Any reason(s) /not/ to use my own custom ID 
value?

In addition to the general case, one particular area I am unsure about 
(as I have yet to get it working) is how this all works out with HTML 
export, as that is something I also wanted to get working at some point.

I tried studying some of the related sources (as well as mailing list 
archive), but could not seem to reach a conclusive answer.  I was hoping 
that some more knowledgeable people could confirm
whether this is a really bad idea, or not.  Any feedback would be 
greatly appreciated!

Hi TRS-80,

Your approach should work just fine. So fine, in fact, that it's already kind of built in! Configure org-id-method and set it to 'ts and you'll get timestamps as ID instead of uuid.

I do believe the manual lacks a description for this. Not entirely sure though, and can't check atm. But the configuration is there none the less, and supported.

Kind regards
Gustav

Hi Gustav,

Thanks for the fast reply.

I am aware of the 'ts' option to org-id-method which does not seem to
be documented in manual, only docstring of its defcustom in org-id.el.
I had left that detail out for the sake of brevity.  :)

My problem with that is that I do not like the format it outputs which
is "%Y%m%dT%H%M%S.%6N" (in other words, output which looks like
"20200910T180910.747026").  Only a little bit better than the "uuid"
option, IMHO!  :)

It would be great if that format-time-string was a configurable
variable, instead of hard coded, but alas it is not.  Well, since we
are now on that subject, perhaps I should ask is there some reason for
this?  Or would Bastien perhaps consider something like that?  :)))

Regards,
TRS-80

Re: Any reason not to generate my own custom ID value (NOT CUSTOM_ID)?

[Samuel Wales]

this or something similar has definitely been discussed on this
mailing list.  so you are not alone.

although i undersatnd the whole thing as readable id's.  dunno if that
is the prupose.

maybe something like a timestamp and then the usual id would give you
pretty good uniqueness.

Yes, I also thought certainly this must have been discussed before.  I
did try searching the list, but I think the relevant search terms are
too common, short ("ID", etc.) and/or too close to unrelated things
(i.e. CUSTOM_ID when I am looking for "custom ID", etc.) to produce
any good results.  Or maybe my search-fu is just bad.

Essentially, yes, more readable.  But also shorter, and perhaps most
importantly, /meaningful/.

The uniqueness I outlined in OP (down to minute) is plenty enough for
my use-case.  The /last/ thing I want to do is to go the other way, and
make the ID even longer!

I do appreciate all the replies so far.  However as I plan on relying
on this to implement some quite critical functionality for a package I
am working on (a sort of Zettelkasten / TiddlyWiki in Orgmode if you
will) I would feel a lot more comfortable with some additional
reassurences that what I am planning is not some crazy or bad idea.

Is there any particular reason why you even need to display :ID: value to
the user? If only id: links are concerned, link description can be made
short and human-readable.

Yes, most of the time I expect I will be using Orgmode double bracket 
style
links which will, as you say, hide the id: from the user, allowing to
replace it with whatever desired text in the form of the link 
description.

However, I just (strongly) prefer the shorter "ISO-like" ID for many
reasons, as already mentioned (shorter, meaningful, etc.).  I just find
that style much, much more elegant.

Besides, as an ID, they are plenty "Unique" for my use case, with the
default minute resolution (however even that, is configurable in my
implementation, by way of a time-format variable, should anyone need 
more).

I suppose if we ever get to a world where people start linking to each
others' individual publicly published zettel, I may regret the decision.
However Ted Nelson has already been working on such a thing for some
decades already, and we are still not there yet, so I don't think I will
need to worry about that any time soon.  ;)  Even if so, it would be a 
very
small implementation change anyway.

Cheers,
TRS-80

I guess it does not take much to add this functionality.

Can you propose a patch for the documentation?

It is written as an Org file, so editing and patch the manual should
