individual alerts

Hello

 

Im a software developer and new to emacs. I want to maintain my calendar
appointments in orgmode, and define individual alerts for each appointment
(which also includes to have no alert for some appointments). Using the
emacs diary is not enough for me – I want orgmode!   

 

I found out already how to export SCHEDULED and DEADLINE timestamps from
orgmode to iCalendar VEVENTs, but the VALARM TRIGGERs produced always have
the same value (VALARM TRIGGER is always “P0DT0H0M0S”). How can I define an
individual alert for each appointment in ORGMODE, and have the alert values
exported as icalendar VALARM TRIGGERs?  

 

The :APPT_WARNTIME: property in orgmode seems to do nothing, nor does it
seem to help if I add a “WARNTIME …” text to the orgmode item – this seems
to work for emacs diary entries only.   

 

I would furthermore like my individual orgmode alerts to be interpreted by
the emacs appointment system in order for emacs to notify me – again this
seems to always produce a constant notification

 

Again: maintaining my appointments within the emacs diary is not an option
for me – I need the orgmode features

 

Thanks very much

Kind regards

Christoph Schröder
