Subject: Is it possible for checkbox items to have :LOGBOOK: drawers?
Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2011 18:13:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ehwce4et.fsf@dod.no> (raw)
Platform: Ubuntu 10.10
GNU Emacs 23.1.1
git version of org-mode
When I create a TODO task, I first create the task, then I create
checkboxes for the things I would like to do, ie.
* My tasks
** TODO here's a new task [/]
- [ ] First I need to do this
- [ ] Then I need to do that
- [ ] Finally I need to finish this
The reason for using checkboxes, is that I find them more visually
pleasing than nested TODOs. But when logging progress, I can't use the
logbook functionality (like I could have done with nested TODOs). I
have ended up doing this:
* My tasks
** TODO here's a new task [/]
- [ ] First I need to do this
- Logbook:
- My first note
- My second note
- [ ] Then I need to do that
- [ ] Finally I need to finish this
That works, after a fashion. But I get no timestamp on the notes,
unless I remember to do a `C-.'
I've tried putting :LOGBOOK: drawers in the checkboxes, and that seemed
to work at first, but then I discovered that all notes ended up in the
topmost checkbox, which just happened to reside under the first
checkbox.
Is there some variable that I can set to make :LOGBOOK: drawers work
under checkboxes? Is there some other similar solution? (I'm on git
org-mode at home, and use native emacs 23 org-mode and 7.7 on the
windows boxes at work)
Thanks!
