There is `type = "upcoming-deadline"', so it should be doable. Thanks for the filter-function and the scope-keywords! -- Peter
Re: [O] notify, when something to do
Ha, the XMPP idea really appeals to me, endless possibilities :D Thanks for sharing.

Re: [O] notify, when something to do
Hey Peter, I also do appointments with orgmode.. I have it hooked up so that it sends me messages via XMPP/Jabber.

This might > speeds things and make them more flexible. I have the impression we use SCHEDULED here with a wrong semantics. What about the idea (launched by Carsten) of introducing another keyword like APPT or EVENT [1] for such events to be warned of?

Yes -- just use a function who tries to match the TODO keyword against the entry. > - How to distinguish between SCHEDULED and DEADLINE? I'll > investigate... I introduced the ability to use (org-agenda-to-appt nil t :scheduled) if you just want to get scheduled appointments.

Check what info is available as text properties in the agenda (with `C-u C-x =') and see if you can use this information in a filter function. HTH, -- Bastien

Not sure about the last two. But maybe one could change `org-agenda-to-appt' to accept also a function as filter. Bye, Tassilo

Here's the code: Hello Tassilo, First, I took a look at the lines --8<---cut here---start->8--- (org-agenda-to-appt t) (appt-activate 1) --8<---cut here---end--->8--- This is already a good starting point, just 3 remarks: - I think, I'll need a filter for org-agenda-to-appt, because I only want TODO items. Should be no problem. - How to distinguish between SCHEDULED and DEADLINE? I'll investigate... - Perhaps the main problem: appt does not know about warning periods. There are items with "-3d", other with "-5M"[1]. There is only one universal appt-message-warning-time. Would it be possible, to have a individual warning-time for each todo-item, directly computed from the warning time in the org-timestamp? In the meantime, I'll take a look at your th-appt-alarm. Thanks for your code! Peter Footnotes: [1] That means "warn 5 minutes before". I don't know, if org-mode supports this. "-2H" for hours would be useful too.

This comment is obviously outdated. The notifications with equal :title now replace each other. Bye, Tassilo
