Hi Martin,

 I have problems with the following recurring timestamp:
 --
 * TODO test3
   DEADLINE: 2009-07-07 Di 15:00 +1w -1h
 --

 When I mark the item as done, it loses the warning period (-1h) and
 the recurrence markup (+1w).  Marking it as done again, will finally
 mark it as done.

 Org-version reports 6.21b.

I can confirm that with 6.28trans.  When removing the warning period, it
works as expected.  Also, when removing the recurrence markup, changing
the item to DONE keeps the -1h intact.

Bye,
Tassilo

The problem seems to be that [+-]xh is not yet supported.

Given that timestamps can have an hour and minute component, the h
syntax seems logical, right?

yes, prewarning periods for deadlines have to de d, w, m, or y.
Hours and minutes are not supported.  How are you planing to use  
this?


I have a weekly recurring event which is due Friday 17:00, but I can
only start working on it shortly before, say 2 h.

I would like it not to appear in the agenda until 15:00 at Friday,  
or it
could appear at Friday's agenda, with an extended timestamp (15:00),  
so

I know it has to be done later.

I could also be handled like this item:

--
* TODO test4
 DEADLINE: 2009-07-06 Mo 14:00 SCHEDULED: 2009-07-06 Mo 13:00
--


This looks like a very good way to handle this use case.

The daily agenda is really about what is up today, and it
should tell you in the morning what stuff is waiting for you
instead of giving you nasty surprises at 3 in the afternoon.

You can add a repeater to both the deadline and the
scheduled item, they will both be kicked forward when
you mark the entry done.

Ahh, this solves my problem, thanks.  I didn't know they were completed
in one step.
