Hi there,

I mainly use org-mode for planning, and one thing I often do is (i)
insert a timestamp, and (ii) open the agenda at the given date and see
if I had anything planned already.

Would anyone have some experience to share with respect to automating
step (ii) ? Atm, I'm thinking of writing a function that lists all
agenda entries for which there is an intersection in the time range with
a given timestamp, and optionally also lists entries that have no time
spec but are planned on the same day.

My use case is to ease the process of filling in a "doodle". I already
wrote a few lines to import the proposed dates of a given doodle into
org-mode timestamps (see here: https://gist.github.com/4529894). Atm I
have to open (C-c C-o) each time stamp to see if there's a clash.

Any comment are welcome ! Thanks for your attention,

-- 
Nico.

I can't help you with your actual query unfortunately but just 
wanted to say that I look forward to any solution you get!  I 
recently had a 75 entry (yech) doodle to complete and even the 
code you have posted above would have been quite helpful.

Thanks,
eric

Here is what I do.

I have this in my Emacs config:

(setq calendar-mark-diary-entries-flag t)

And I use a simple ~/.diary file containing this:

%%(org-diary :scheduled :deadline :sexp :timestamp) ~/org/rdv.org

That way, each time I open the calendar, days with
scheduled/deadlined/timestamped entries in rdv.org
are highlighted.

This is not perfect because it does not tell the time
of these appointments -- so I just added a new binding 
in the Org read date prompt: you can now use `?' to view
the diary entries on the  date the cursor here.

HTH,

Thanks for the hint.

That looks nice too, I'll try it out. Just a note : the commit message
mention the `!' key instead of `?'.

Yes, my mistake, sorry for this.
