I thought about some org-depend improvements to take it to the next
level.
Since many Org-mode users do not know or use org-depend.el, I
decided to write a blog post about it and how improvements can easy
my digital life:
http://karl-voit.at/2016/12/18/org-depend/
Some improvements are probably solved with a few lines of Elisp code.
Unfortunately, I am very bad at coding Elisp myself and thus can't
extend Emacs the way I would love to.
For discussion purposes, I now append the improvements as separate
mailinglist emails here as well:
---------------------
1 Improvement: ID Picker
========================
First of all, I'd like to see some kind of ID picker when defining
`:TRIGGER:' and `:BLOCKER:' dependencies.
This should work like this: after setting up the task in headings and
giving them IDs, I'd like to invoke a "I want to define a
dependency"-command. It first asks me what property I want to set:
`:TRIGGER:' or `:BLOCKER:'.
Then I get asked to select any ID which could be found within the same
sub-hierarchy (or even in all files?).
After being asked for the KEYWORD to be set for `:TRIGGER:'
dependencies (if applicable), the property is added to the current
heading accordingly.
This would drastically improve creating dependency definitions and
prevent typing errors in the first place.
