Subject: org-read-date-prefer-future 'time doesn't always prefer future
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:15:07 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20091210T171358-191@post.gmane.org> (raw)

This is a very useful setting, because it allows the user to
quickly schedule a task into the future by simply entering the
time, but it doesn't always do the right thing.

Suppose I scheduled a task to 1pm, but I didn't have time to deal
with it during the day. It's 5pm now. If I want to reschedule the task to
tomorrow 10am then I can write simply 10am to the time prompt and
it puts the task correctly to tomorrow 10am. However, if I want
to reschedule it to tomorrow 2pm then I can't write simply 2pm,
because then it schedules the task at 2pm today (which is past
already, since it's 5 pm).

The problem is the feature uses the task's own scheduled time to
determine if a time is in the past, instead of the current time.


It's Org-mode version 6.33
