Subject: Re: Export datetree item subtree with its date, not the file's

Hello,
Thanks for your response. As you suggest, I switched to using the
EXPORT_DATE property. It works as expected.
Now a little problem that I have is that I cannot have timestamps like
«10 September 2015» in my exports, but a literal inactive timestamp.
This is because in the related capture template, I have to use `%u' to
add a timestamp, which adds an inactive timestamp, reusing the date that
I entered into the datetree prompt. There is the %<...> directive for
the capture templates which allows me to put in a time format, as in
`format-time-string', but it gets its value from `current-time', not
from the date of the datetree prompt. Now I do not know if this is a
feature or a bug, but if I want to copy over lecture notes from some
time ago, it's a problem.
