If you only leave me less than 7 minutes to do it... I can't ;-)

Good you did it straight away.

I just added a line in the docstring of `org-agenda-prefix-format'.

Thanks!

Could you provide a patch for that?

I confirm the explanation is missing from the doc.

This is to be used with caution: I had put it in my config file, used by other
Org users, and they experienced immediately an "out-of-args" error, inhibiting
them forever to access the agenda from that point in time.

Cause: they use the stable 7.7, hence do not have that feature accessible.

Though, is there a way to make a unknown format specifier have less
problematic impact on users?

Best regards,
  Seb

I do try to keep current, but apparently I missed that! I see it in the 
docstring, but I don't see its usage explained (in the docstring or in the 
manual). Am I overlooking it?

Thank you, regardless — exactly what I needed.

Use %e format for effort. If it gives you an error you need newer
org-mode, as the patch to fix %e format only got applied recently.

[O] how to include effort in agenda prefix?

2011-08-17 Thread Michael Gilbert
Hi all —

I want to be able to skim across my agenda and see effort estimates. I have 
been looking at the variable org-agenda-prefix-format and wondering if use of 
the expression evaluation option in there is the way to do it. However, while I 
have configured this prefix to suit me in other ways, writing a suitable 
expression to include the effort of the item is beyond my current skills. Any 
advice?

TIA!
