For me the ID was created by attaching a file. I expected detaching it would delete the ID, but of course, IDs can have other purposes. >> property's value, have a way to use a calc or a tbl formula? >> Additionnally, have a _DEFAULT suffix to define defaults. > > There was a patch recently on the mailing list, subject "elisp > formulas....."

C-c C-a should be aware of any previously defined directory, and take this directory as the default directory when browsing for other files to attach.

I want it to pop up in my agenda view next week, and stay for three days, because passed this delay, I know I won't have any interest in doing it anymore. Having something like +3d looks consistent to me -- but I agree I can find workarounds. Or just fix my habits :) >> - FR: Following a sh: or an elisp: link prompts the user for >> confirmation.

Same here. `k m' would jump to the next unmarked entry. >> - FR: Maybe `?' could provide a little help in agenda mode. > > Hmmm, yes, why not. What should it say?

You men > the time stamp w/o any keyword???? The problem is that you don't see whether an entry is scheduled or has a deadline in agenda view. How do you decide which one to delete?
