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:
4 Improvement: TRIGGER in Combination With Set SCHEDULED
========================================================
I love the `:TRIGGER:' property because I can mark headings as open
tasks only if they can be done now. Only headings which are ready to
be looked at do have the `TODO' keyword.
One limitation of `org-depend.el' is that I am only to move forward
scheduled dates to siblings and I am not able to define a different
scheduled date.
Assume following syntax:
,----
| ** TODO Asking the client about the project
| :PROPERTIES:
| :TRIGGER: 2016-12-18-send-offer(TODO,2016-12-23)
| :END:
|
| ** Send offer to client
| :PROPERTIES:
| :ID: 2016-12-18-send-offer
| :END:
`----
I extended the option of the trigger property so that I added an ISO
date to the keyword parameter.
What I'd expect is that on finishing the first task, the heading with
the ID `2016-12-18-send-offer' not only gets the keyword `TODO' but
also is scheduled for 2016-12-23 as well.
Notice that the send-offer heading is not necessarily located in the
same sub-hierarchy as the ask-client heading. Therefore,
sibling-operations are not the whole answer here.
Additional to this, I'd like to have the possibility to define
relative schedule dates as stated in [manual for the date prompt]:
`2016-12-18-send-offer(TODO,.)' the day when marking the asking-task as
done
`2016-12-18-send-offer(TODO,+3d)' 3 days after the scheduled date of the
asking-task
`2016-12-18-send-offer(TODO,.+3d)' 3 days from the day when marking the
asking-task as done
`2016-12-18-send-offer(TODO,mon)' nearest Monday from the day when
marking the asking-task as done
`2016-12-18-send-offer(TODO,+2tue)' second Tuesday from the day when
marking the asking-task as done
[manual for the date prompt]
