Re: [O] Bug: org-get-current-options uses fixed format-time-string [7.6]

Hi Diego,

this is not a bug -- please use `org-submit-bug-report' for bugs
only.

 org-get-current-options uses the following line to fill the `#+DATE:'
 property in a new file:

 (format-time-string (substring (car org-time-stamp-formats) 1 -1))

 While this is correct, I think it is too much tightly coupled with the
 org-time-stamp-formats constant defined in org.el.

 I would like to suggest to add a new defun (possibly interactive) to add a
 plain actual date. Something along the lines of:

 (defun org-current-time-stamp-string ()
   Returns the current time stamp string in the org format.
   (format-time-string (substring (car org-time-stamp-formats) 1 -1)))

 (defun org-insert-current-time-stamp-string ()
   Insert at point the current time stamp string in the org format.
   (interactive)
   (insert (org-current-time-stamp-string)))

 If those functions already exist, it would be then more appropriate to use
 them in that function `org-get-current-options`.

I'm not sure to understand -- can you try to rephrase your request?  
What do you want to achieve exactly?

Thanks,
