org-notify: can't define an org-notify-add

org-notify: can't define an org-notify-add

[Alain.Cochard]

Hello.

If I have in my emacs init file the following org-notify setup, as
specified by the org-notify doc (if I understand it correctly):

   (require 'org-notify)
   (org-notify-add 'my-appt '(:time "1h" :actions -message
								   :period "30s" :duration 20))
   (org-notify-start)

and in my todo.org file:

   * TODO test agenda 
     DEADLINE: <2015-05-21 Thu 17:55>
     :PROPERTIES:
     :notify:   my-appt
     :END:      

the behavior I get is the one defined as the default in the
org-notify.el file:

	;;; Provide a minimal default setup.
	(org-notify-add 'default '(:time "1h" :actions -notify/window
					 :period "2m" :duration 60))

I can override this default in my init file, i.e., replacing
"org-notify-add 'my-appt" above by "org-notify-add 'default", and I
then get "my" default behavior.

So as far as I can see, everything behaves as if I did not use the
proper syntax for the :PROPERTIES: block (consistently, if I alter it
or remove it completely, I still get the default behavior).

Am I doing something trivially wrong?  Any idea how I could debug
this?  (I have no relevant message in the *Messages* buffer.)

Many thanks in advance.

Sorry I am posting this message again: I made a mistake and it
appeared within an unrelated thread (perhaps it is possible to remove
it from there?)

Hi,

It seems, that the Org Mode developers have not yet applied this patch:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/73647

As workaround, you can apply it on your local file.
I'll send the patch again.
