hello everyone,
i think what i am trying to say is best shown with an example.
so let's say that today is oct 13th.
the task
** TODO check smoke alarm
SCHEDULED: <2015-10-04 Sun .+10d>
shows up in the agenda as:
Sched.10x: TODO check smoke alarm
however, had the task been scheduled a day before (or if today was oct 14th):
** TODO check smoke alarm
SCHEDULED: <2015-10-03 Sat .+10d>
it would show up in the agenda as:
Scheduled: TODO check smoke alarm
that is to say, the marker that indicates it is overdue is gone. for
some cases, like checking the smoke alarm, i don't want the "Sched.?x"
to reset.
ie, Sched.11x: TODO check smoke alarm
i tracked this down to the function org-time-string-to-absolute. when
rendering the agenda it gets called with today as its DAYNR argument,
which causes "org-closest-date" to return "today" for the case of
repeating timestamps.
i can understand why it is done this way, and i find it useful.
however for some tasks, i'd rather the counter not reset lest i miss
something for longer than i should have (the smoke alarm case for
example).
i patched my version of org to do this (release_8.2.10); but i did it
by not calling org-closest-date in the case of repeating timestamps
with the effect they all act this way. to do this properly i'd imagine
we would need another identifier in the timestamp(?)
i am willing to do the work to contribute the proper patches and
update the doc if people are interested.
... or is there another way of doing this? :)
thank you kindly for reading!
