Hi, I am really enjoying upgrading from 5.23 to 6.11, especially the new summing in the columns-view of the agenda buffer. I'd been trying to figure out something like the Effort property behavior on my own, so this is a bonus, too. Thank you!
In my own thinking about effort, however, effort is a psychological phenomenon. For example, some things that I do only take a short time but are very difficult (nagging small children) , while others take a long time but are easy (reading a book). I use the property DURATION to do what you are doing with Effort. So, obviously, I just changed the default name of the effort property to DURATION and that solves that. But here is (finally) why I'm writing. I think the Effort function you have designed should be more generic - specifically that it should not require a HH:MM format. That would significantly increase the number of ways people could use it. As an expense tracker, for example, or with a simple integer for physical or psychological strain. Or even memory usage! Ideally, multiple properties could share the Effort functionality, but that may be opening a whole new can of worms. I'm going to try to write an add-on myself, but I figured I'd throw it out there in case people think it would be a useful change to the core program.
