Subject: Can Org warn me if I create a time conflict?
Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2019 14:05:38 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <85B12EB9-0B93-456A-AAA5-6A49356E1F4F@gmail.com> (raw)
It's currently possible for me to create two meeting times, one from 8:00-10:00 tomorrow and the other from 9:00-11:00 tomorrow.
When both are mentioned in the same sentence, as above, it's easy to recognize that the two meetings are probably incompatible. But org-mode allows agenda items to be created at different times and in different files; it's possible to create Meeting #1 far in advance, have enough time to forget that Meeting #1 exists, and then create Meeting #2 covering the same period of time. (Compare this with the wall calendar made of paper, where if I try to add Meeting #2 I'll be forced to write it in the same physical space, and therefore automatically be alerted before making the error.)
Is there any method to get org-mode to alert me (by an error message, or a red mark in the agenda, or whatever) that I've created a conflict - specifically, a method that doesn't involve me having to remember to perform any type of conflict-checking myself? If I could remember to do things like conflict checks, I wouldn't really need org-agenda anyway. :-)
I realize that it's likely some situations *do* require timed events to happen concurrently - but I don't believe that they're the usual case for an individual. Having an "ignore conflict" or "accept anyway" type of option would make sense to me for such situations.
