Re: Logging state change with timestamp, but without note

[Carsten Dominik <dominik@science.uva.nl>]

Hi Bastien,

I am not sure this i a complete enough solution.  If I understand  
Wanrong correctly,
I think he wants to be able to define the specific states that should  
record a time.

So I guess a complete solution would be to introduce a character like  
"!", similar to the "@" we are already using to denote taking a note.   
So

#+TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w@) | DELEGATED DONE CANCELED(c!)

would record a note when switching to WAITING, and only a time when  
switching to CANCELED.
