a bug @ remember template

a bug @ remember template

[zwz]

I use org-remember for my contact records.

This is a template in org-remember-templates
("Contact" ?c "* %^{Name} \n%[~/.contact]\n" "contact.org" "Contacts")

the content of the file "~/.contact":
:PROPERTIES:
:Mobile: %^{mobile}
:Email:
:Added: %u
:END:

I found that the prompt "%^{mobile}" works, but *the inactive time stamp "%u"
does not.* It is not replaced.

I guess it is a bug.

Maybe not a bug - this simplt depends on the sequence
in which % escapes are expanded in the template.

However, I can see that it could be nice to define the templates
in a separate file like you do - so I have changed the sequence now.
File insertion happens first, so that this should now work (untested).

Yes, it indeed depend on the expanding-order.

Yesterday, I tried a workaround.

I moved ":Added: %u \n :END:" from "~/.contact" to "~/.emacs",
which makes the new template in org-remember-templates as
("Contact" ?c "* %^{Name} \n%[~/.contact] :Added: %u \n :END:" "contact.org"
"Contacts")

But then I found that the content of the file "~/.contact" was not inserted at
all.  *Maybe this is a bug.*

I added "\n" before ":Added:":
("Contact" ?c "* %^{Name} \n%[~/.contact]\n :Added: %u \n :END:" "contact.org"
"Contacts")
then it did the work, but the result was not perfect.

This does work just fine for me.
