Hello!

I have just spent an hour trying to figure out how to change the
timestamp added as a result of org-expiry-insinuate to inactive with
no success.  It seems to me that I need to change something in
function org-expiry-insert-created but don't know what.  I also do not
understand in which situations does an active timestamp for CREATED
property make sense.

Thanks!

I recently started to patch org-expiry.el and enabling inactive
timestamps was the first thing I patched. The modified version is on
the expiry+ branch in a copy of org-mode @github.com:

http://github.com/dmj/org-mode/tree/expiry+

I hope I got the git-things rights this time so fetching and merging
it with a local branch of the original should work.

Next thing on my list is to toggle auto inserting of the creation date
for Todo headlines only.

Regards

Ah, forgot: To enable inactive timestamps when using the expiry+
branch simply set the variable `org-expiry-inactive-timestamps' to t.

Works as advertised. :)  Hope the patch makes it to org-mode soon.

Thank you.

Hi,

Please contact Bastien about this.

Looks nice - please send me the patch and I'll review it for inclusion.

[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 540 bytes --]

Hi Bastien,

I attached the two patches:

  - 0001: Use `org-time-string-to-time' to convert timestamps to time objects

  - 0002: Allow inactive timestamps

I am currently pondering whether or not it could be useful to limit
the creation of the created timestamp to todo headlines only. At least
for me a created timestamp does not make sense for a headline that is,
say, part of a document's outline.

Regards

 -- David

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Allow inactive timestamps for created and expired timestamps.

Add customization variable `org-expiry-inactive-timestamps'. If set to
to, org-expiry creation and expiration date as inactive timestamps.

This may be useful as entries with active timestamps are shown in the
agenda and hence may clutter up the agenda view.
