Only first time stamp per event on agenda (containing multiple time stamps)

Only first time stamp per event on agenda (containing multiple time stamps)

[Karl Voit]

Hi!

(My current Org-mode is git 86fab4ce354c3fc29a9a169add80a)

When I have a heading like following, the event appears on my agenda
on Monday and on Wednesday with their time frames (as expected by me):

,----[ time stamps on different days ]
| ** Event A
|
| - <2013-05-27 Mon 09:00-12:00>
| - <2013-05-29 Wed 13:00-16:00>
`----

However, with the following event, I only get one time stamp onto my
agenda (namely the first one of the very same day):

,----[ time stamp on the same day ]
| ** Event B
|
| - <2013-05-27 Mon 09:00-12:00>
| - <2013-05-27 Mon 13:00-16:00>
`----

If this is not intended behavior, I beg to fix it ;-) 

I do have use-cases [1] where this kind of list is way better than
each time-stamp as its own heading.

If this is intended behavior, I am curious about the reason why.

Thank you in any case :-)


  1. e.g., for irregular occurring courses sharing the same heading
     title.

What is the value of org-agenda-skip-additional-timestamps-same-entry?

When this variable is set to nil (the default value), I find that all
entries appear in the agenda:

,----
| Day-agenda (W22):
| Monday     27 May 2013 W22
|                8:00...... ----------------
|   inbox:       9:00-12:00 Event B
|               10:00...... ----------------
|               12:00...... ----------------
|   inbox:      13:00-16:00 Event B
|               14:00...... ----------------
|               15:23...... You are here - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
|               16:00...... ----------------
|               18:00...... ----------------
|               20:00...... ----------------
`----

Best,
Matt

Bingo.

Yes, I once set this to "t" but I can't remember why (and I
obviously totally forgot its existence).

Sorry for the fuzz.
