If so, how does that work? ... that using drawers is my personal preference. I think it looks cleaner. I have tasks with pages full of state data. It's nice to be able to fold the drawer and hide the data. The behaviour can be changed by setting the variable org-log-into-drawer. Regards hmw

This looks promising. However, the example at the link you referenced seems to have its state changes inside a LOGBOOK property drawer. My state changes are not inside a drawer. See excerpt below. To change the state, say from TODO to READING, I use C-c C-t and then can choose one of my pre-specified states. Should I put my state changes in a LOGBOOK drawer? If so, how does that work? ** DONE Responsible Men :fiction:BUlibrary: - State "DONE" from "READING"[2018-11-18 Sun 23:17] - State "READING"from "TODO" [2018-11-04 Sun 23:17] :PROPERTIES: :AUTHORLNAME: Schwarzschild :AUTHORFNAME: Edward :ISBN: 156512409X :END: Thanks. --Chris Ryan Michael Welle wrote: > Hello, > > "Christopher W.

Well, a start would be to use the agenda view on that file and ask for a full log view (v L in the default dispatcher). Alternatively, remember that org files are simply text so you could use "M-x occur RET" on your file with a suitable pattern. This seems to work for me: - State "DONE".*\[2018 Of course, if your book entries are intermixed with other entries in the same file, you may need to be a bit more creating (e.g. include "READING" in your pattern). -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 27.0.50, Org release_9.1.14-1035-gfeb442
[O] how do I search state change dates?
I try to keep track of books I want to read, and when I eventually read them. I use TODO keyword for books I intend to read, and I change the state to READING and then DONE, as appropriate. Each state change gets a date/time stamp. My preamble is: #+TODO: TODO(t!) READING(r!) POSTPONED(p!) RESTARTED(s!) | DONE(d!) NA(n!) ABANDONED(a!) An entry for a book not yet read might look like this: ** TODO America: the Farewell Tour :PROPERTIES: :AUTHORLNAME: Hedges :AUTHORFNAME: Chris :ISBN: 9781501152672 :DATEADDED: <2018-10-10 Wed> :END: An entry for a book I've read might look like this: ** DONE Northland - State "DONE" from "READING"[2018-10-21 Sun 22:45] - State "READING"from "TODO" [2018-10-08 Mon 22:09] :PROPERTIES: :AUTHORLNAME: Fox :AUTHORFNAME: Porter :ISBN: 9780393248852 :DATEADDED: <2018-10-07 Sun> :END: How can I retrieve all the entries for the books I've read in 2018?
