Hmm. I tried it with this test-event: * TODO Test task SCHEDULED: <2015-04-07 Tue> But running (org-agenda-to-appt) just gives "No event to add". Is this because there is no time specified? I'm not really concerned with appointments that have a time span, but with projects that have specific due dates... Best, -Nikolaus -- GPG encrypted emails preferred.
