* Org-mode repeating tasks issue @ 2012-05-20 0:41 c b 2012-05-20 13:33 ` John Hendy 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: c b @ 2012-05-20 0:41 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 716 bytes --] Hi, I have been using org-mode with emacs(23) for about a year now and love it. However, sometime in the last couple of weeks, I did a git pull on the master branch (and I redid the same today) and noticed that my recurring tasks are broken. E.g. I have a task ** TODO Pay Creditcard bill DEADLINE: <2012-05-15 Tue +1m -7d> and when I marked it done, it changed state to DONE ** DONE Pay Creditcard bill CLOSED: [2012-05-18 Fri 22:13] DEADLINE: <2012-05-15 Tue +1m -7d> I have been trying to figure out what went wrong, but am clueless. Any pointers on what might be wrong, would be appreaciated. The "org-todo-repeat-to-state" variable in my setup is not set (i.e. it is the default) Thanks, c.b [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 1079 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Here was my initial thought: - The org-mode manual itself on repeated tasks does not mention that kind of repeating task syntax --- http://orgmode.org/manual/Repeated-tasks.html#Repeated-tasks --- Only +1, ++1, and .+1 are discussed - The /org-habit/ page, on the other hand, does mention such syntax (well, kind of) --- http://orgmode.org/manual/Tracking-your-habits.html --- Note that this page uses .+2d/4d syntax Anyway, I very likely missed something, but I can't find the specific syntax you're looking for in the manual sections above. If the functionality of org-habit /does/ do what you want, perhaps you could switch to that? If you use this syntax widely, that could be a pain. Let me know what you think? Also, please point to the documentation illustrating the +1m -7d usage. I'd like to see it as well as I'm curious about the various time stamp options. Thanks!

DEADLINE: <2012-05-15 Tue +1m -7d> This just adds a monthly repeater to the syntax and is perfectly legal syntax AFAIK. This entry repeats normally for me.

After fiddling around a bunch and not getting it to work, I just recreated my .emacs.d folder (and config) and it seems to work now. Must have been some corruption, but can't figure out what.
