--text follows this line-- In general, would like the formatting of a time interval in column mode to respect "org-effort-durations" when it is summarizing effort durations. Below is a specific example.
Using the default "org-effort-durations" variable and default column mode settings, the following buffer shows a confusing total: | Task | Estimate | |-----------------+----------| | * Estimate | 1d 8:00 | | ** Little Thing | 1d | | ** Big Mess | 3d | vvv effort_days.org vvv #+COLUMNS: %40ITEM(Task) %12Effort(Estimate){:} * Estimate ** Little Thing :PROPERTIES: :Effort: 1d :END: ** Big Mess :PROPERTIES: :Effort: 3d :END: ^^^ effort_days.org ^^^ The mis-match is due to "Effort" days being an 8-hour workday, whereas the Column-view day is a 24-hour calendar day. I would like all the days to be 8-hour work days, including the total, resulting in: | Task | Estimate | |-----------------+----------| | * Estimate | 4d | | ** Little Thing | 1d | | ** Big Mess | 3d | Emacs : GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2014-10-24 on LEG570 Package: Org-mode version 8.2.10 (release_8.2.10 @ c:/Users/yhluc00/emacs/share/emacs/24.4/lisp/org/)
