Hello,

Here's a patch to allow for a different prefix for deadline entries which are
in the past: for example, "3 d ago" instead of "In -3 d"...

Example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Day-agenda (W06):
2013-02-04 Mon __________________________________________________
                8:00...... 
               10:00...... 
               12:00...... 
               14:00...... 
               16:00...... 
               20:00...... 
               22:42...... now
  In 9 d.:     TODO [#A] Do this
  39 d. ago:   STRT Should have done this for long already
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards,
  Seb

Please make sure the change is backward compatible so that users don't
have to change the value of their `org-agenda-deadline-leaders'
(i.e. simply fall back on (nth 1 ...) when (nth 2 ...) returns nil.

Thanks,

I finally added this, with a slightly different patch:

Thanks for the suggestion,

Nice...

Though, one question: why did you change the spacing (and, in fact, the width)
of the leaders?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
-(defcustom org-agenda-scheduled-leaders '("Scheduled: " "Sched.%2dx: ")
+(defcustom org-agenda-scheduled-leaders '(" Scheduled: " "Sched.%3dx: ")
   "Text preceding scheduled items in the agenda view.

(...)

-(defcustom org-agenda-deadline-leaders '("Deadline:  " "In %3d d.: ")
+(defcustom org-agenda-deadline-leaders '("  Deadline: " " In %3d d.: " "%3d d. ago: ")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

> Thanks for the suggestion,

Thanks as well ;-)

Best regards,
  Seb

PS- Another question: some time ago, there was a ML with all the commits done
on Org. This seems to have disappeared (at least from Gmane). A reason for
that, or an alternative?

For the change in "Scheduled:" and "Deadline:" it's because I
think it's cleaner to align them on the right, like the "Sched."
and "In %3d.:" strings.

For the change in the width (from 11 to 12), it's because I
wanted to correctly display "%3d d. ago: ", not %2d d. ago: ",
so that now any string with a warning delay more than 100 will
be correctly displayed.  Before, we allowed 100+ days for the
future deadlines, but not for past scheduled items (i.e. they
were not aligned properly.)

I feel the change is not too intrusive.

Best,

I don't mind, I customize them anyway ;-)

I think the change of width can impact people who customize a bit the look of
their agenda, and rely upong *all* the leaders to be of width 11. That was the
motivation for my other patch, about clocking info (to make it go into a
11-char slot).

Let's see how people react to that -- or if some are impacted.

Best regards,
  Seb

The thread about your other patch is still open, see my last reply.

Also, a width of 12 should make it easier to fix alignment issues,
so feel free to have a go and fix the ones that disturb you.  Please
remember not every user has a 3k configuration file, so implementing
TRT with emacs -Q is highly recommended here :)

That must be it: `org-mode.git', which I accessed from Gmane. Thanks.

It seems there are now 2 redundants such groups:

- nntp+gmane:gwene.cz.or.repo.w.org-mode.git
- nntp+gmane:gwene.org.org-mode.git

  Seb

You can find the group on Gmane (available, then, by NNTP at least).

I just upgraded org-mode for the first time in a while and found these
new default settings for deadline and scheduled leaders somewhat
disorienting. 

A 12-char width causes misalignment with a sample file and emacs -Q.
(See output below).

Here is an example of the new default behavior with emacs -Q

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Day-agenda (W12):
Sunday     24 March 2013
               8:00...... ----------------
  test:       10:00......  Scheduled:  TODO Scheduled at a time
  test:       10:00...... An appointment
              10:00...... ----------------
              12:00...... ----------------
              14:00...... ----------------
              16:00...... ----------------
              16:59...... now - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
              18:00...... ----------------
              20:00...... ----------------
  test:       Sched.  3x:  TODO A scheduled item
  test:        Scheduled:  TODO Another scheduled item
  test:         3 d. ago:  TODO An overdue item
  test:        In   2 d.:  Deadline
                          ^ 
                          Note the extra space here
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And here is an example of the old default behavior (11 char. spacing):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Day-agenda (W12):
Sunday     24 March 2013
               8:00...... ----------------
  test:       10:00...... Scheduled:  TODO Scheduled at a time
  test:       10:00...... An appointment
              10:00...... ----------------
              12:00...... ----------------
              14:00...... ----------------
              16:00...... ----------------
              17:06...... now - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
              18:00...... ----------------
              20:00...... ----------------
  test:       Sched. 3x:  TODO A scheduled item
  test:       Scheduled:  TODO Another scheduled item
  test:       In  -3 d.:  TODO An overdue item
  test:       In   2 d.:  Deadline
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

FWIW, I find the old default much cleaner and easier to scan visually. I
know this can be customized, but might I suggest that we revert the
default to 11-characters and left aligned text?

Best,
Matt

P.S. Thanks, as always, Bastien for all the amazing work you've been
doing as maintainer!

Indeed -- I fixed this, we're back to 11 chars.

Thanks for reporting this and great to have you back :)
