Re: [O] repeater not working?
I found the problem, and it was me: my original entry does not have a TODO in the title. (My reasoning for not putting the TODO was that it's a project, so as such it should not appear in my agenda, only the tasks should appear.) So when I close it (change the state to DONE), the choose a state window remains open, which I hadn't noticed before. When I choose a state in this window, then the project becomes scheduled again. To reproduce: * Project SCHEDULED: 2012-09-02 Sun +1m ** TODO task1 ** TODO task2 Changing the project status to DONE leaves the choose a status window open. I guess I'm too much into an OmniFocus way of organizing thing, and need to dig deeper in orgmode to find the canonical way of doing this. For repeating projects, do you use checklists like Memnon Anon? Best, Alan

Hi Alan, Alan Schmitt alan.schm...@polytechnique.org writes: Changing the project status to DONE leaves the choose a status window open. Yes, when there is no previous TODO keyword associated to the entry, you're requested to set a TODO keyword. I guess I'm too much into an OmniFocus way of organizing thing, and need to dig deeper in orgmode to find the canonical way of doing this. For repeating projects, do you use checklists like Memnon Anon? In my todo list, repeating items are usually 5-mins tasks (like paying the rent) so no, I don't use checkboxes in these tasks.

[O] repeater not working?
Hello, I'm starting to play with repeaters, and I cannot make them work. Here is a sample of a small file I have: *** Archive Mail [2/2] SCHEDULED: 2012-09-01 Sat +1m DONE Read and archive all mail (orgmode, Sent) CLOSED: [2012-09-01 Sat 15:03] DONE Create monthly folder and move mail there CLOSED: [2012-09-01 Sat 15:06] As you can see, subtasks are done, and I have set a repeater for the scheduling for one month. If I go on the first line and close the entry, I get the following: *** DONE Archive Mail [2/2] CLOSED: [2012-09-01 Sat 15:13] SCHEDULED: 2012-09-01 Sat +1m DONE Read and archive all mail (orgmode, Sent) CLOSED: [2012-09-01 Sat 15:03] DONE Create monthly folder and move mail there CLOSED: [2012-09-01 Sat 15:06] However no new entry appears scheduled for one month in the future. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Thanks, Alan
