Re: Feature request about habit tracking [was: RELEASE: Org-mode version 6.32]

Hi Friedrich,

from what I see, John has built the habit tracking
into the routine that looks for scheduling entries.  So it would be
a significant change to do this for normal time stamps.

A solution for you could be to just use the scheduling stuff anyway,
and then use a filter function to make sure these entries do not show up
in the iCalendar export (untested):

(defun my-icalendar-verify ()
    (if (string= (org-entry-get nil "STYLE") "habit") nil t))

(setq org-icalendar-verify-function 'my-icalendar-verify)

HTH
