Hi,
I am really enjoying upgrading from 5.23 to 6.11, especially the new
summing in the columns-view of the agenda buffer. I'd been trying to
figure out something like the Effort property behavior on my own, so
this is a bonus, too. Thank you!
In my own thinking about effort, however, effort is a psychological
phenomenon. For example, some things that I do only take a short time
but are very difficult (nagging small children) , while others take a
long time but are easy (reading a book). I use the property
DURATION to
do what you are doing with Effort.
So, obviously, I just changed the default name of the effort
property to
DURATION and that solves that.
But here is (finally) why I'm writing. I think the Effort function
you
have designed should be more generic - specifically that it should not
require a HH:MM format. That would significantly increase the
number of
ways people could use it. As an expense tracker, for example, or
with a
simple integer for physical or psychological strain. Or even memory
usage!
Ideally, multiple properties could share the Effort functionality, but
that may be opening a whole new can of worms.
I'm going to try to write an add-on myself, but I figured I'd throw
it out
there in case people think it would be a useful change to the core
program.
Inanna
