This is supposed to be the dual to DEADLINE, and shall someday release the
SCHEDULED property from its semantics to not display things before a certain
date (then the SCHEDULED property can be solely used to mean that things should
be done on a specific date).
However, the NOT_BEFORE property needs some more consistency checks, as
otherwise items that have a NOT_BEFORE property that's too far in the future may
be overlooked. Is this something for the monthly review?
Always use property matches for this, as it's more direct to me to understand
what the actual search criteria are (even if these are a bit slower). Also use
`<today>` instead of `<now>` to ignore the time part and always fall back to
00:00 time; this should avoid intra-day changes of whether an item appears on a
list or not.
These definitions are easily covered by the global setting of
`org-agenda-prefix-format` and can thus also be customized now. Note that this
yields some extra space with the default setting, as the entries of the custom
project agenda usually do not have an effort property set – but I think this is
easily bearable.
This is to signify that an Org mode item has been merged into another item,
indendent of whether the items itself has been done yet, is still in progress,
or has been cancelled.
This advice is experimental. It should actually not move point, but after
executing `org-agenda-redo-all`, point is at the first position of the buffer.
Further investigation necessary.
We are now not merely copying a template from another item, but more abstractly
insert a checklist consisting of backlinks and a template. Update docstring and
function name to reflect that, but keep the old name of `db/org-copy-template`
as an obsolete alias.
Nice add-on would be to automatically add a link to the new parent when
refiling, so that I can find all (former and current) sub-items by searching for
backlinks. This does not seem to be supported out of the box, is it?
This special kind of dynamic block inserts all planned tasks between two dates
and sums up it's efforts. This could help in deciding what additional tasks to
accept or what dates to promise for completion of new tasks.
This function is experimental and may need to be extended to search for IDs in a
specific password file that are is not necessarily a member of
`org-agenda-files`.
This is to mark items that are not yet actionable but are supposed to become
actionable. The intended action on those items is then to refine those (or
cancel them).
Most importantly, this allows to use globstar expansion in bash with dired.
Note that `dired` has to be invoked explicitly for this to work, as `find-file`
will not expand the globs itself.
