Carsten and other org-folk--
Any chance that it would be possible to query the agenda to see whether
anything is scheduled at a particular time? The application I have in
mind is scheduling new events with remember templates. If there's
already something in the agenda for the timestamp I enter in a new
remember entry, I would love to be given the message "There is already
an event scheduled at that time. Really use this timestamp?"
I could see a further extension of this, such that it allowed different
behavior for different kinds of time stamps. Something like
(setq org-agenda-busy-warn
'(active . t)
'(scheduled . "-1h +1h")
'(deadline . "+3d"))
would warn you if you tried to add a new timestamp that occurred within
the range of an active timestamp; and would warn you if the new
timestamp were within plus or minus one hour of a timestamp with the
SCHEDULED property; and would also warn you if you tried to add a new
timestamp within three days of a deadline.
"You tried to create a new event with timestamp <2008-10-31
20:00-21:30>. There is already an entry with timestamp <2008-10-31
20:30-12:00>. You have an event SCHEDULED at <2008-10-31 19:30>. You
have a DEADLINE on <2008-11-2>. Proceed/Edit timestamp/Cancel?"
We could then use a function, org-agenda-busy-at, to check timestamps
included in new remember notes before they get filed.
I don't know whether this kind of information is easily retrievable from
the agenda, or whether it could be stored as the agenda is built. Is
there someplace in the code that I should look to check into the
feasibility of this idea? Is it just impossible? Is it one of those
things where Carsten says a mystical incantation and it's done?
Thanks,
/au
