Here's a cleaned up patch that allows user-specified modifiers
for effort strings. The new variable `org-effort-durations'
lists modifiers, and their mapping to minutes (words, as well as
single-letter modifiers, are supported). The default value is:
(("h" . 60)
("d" . 480) ; 8 hours
("w" . 2400) ; five days
("m" . 9600) ; 4 weeks
("y" . 96000)) ; 40 weeks
But you can change this.
Old effort strings (HH:MM) are still interpreted correctly. See
the docstrings of `org-effort-durations' and
`org-duration-string-to-minutes' for more details.

Subject: [PATCH] Allow human-readable effort durations
To: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org
* lisp/org.el (org-effort-durations): New variable.
* lisp/org.el (org-duration-string-to-minutes): New function.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-filter-effort-form)
(org-format-agenda-item): Use it.
* lisp/org-clock.el (org-clock-notify-once-if-expired)
(org-clock-modify-effort-estimate, org-clock-get-clock-string): Use it.
Specifying large effort durations in hours and minutes is difficult.
Is 130:25 more than two weeks effort? More than three? This patch
allows specification of an effort duration as a friendly string. For
example 2w 5d is two weeks and five days of effort. Existing H:MM
entries will still be recognised correctly.
* org-agenda.el (org-agenda): Set the 'last-args property to
nil when calling `org-agenda'. Don't kill the local variable
`org-agenda-current-span'.
(org-run-agenda-series): Use the new property 'last-args.
(org-agenda-change-time-span): Use the dynamically set
`org-agenda-overriding-arguments' variable when non-nil.
Thanks to Matt Lundin and Michael Brand for reporting this.
* org-agenda.el (org-agenda-date-later)
(org-agenda-date-earlier): Enhance docstrings.
(org-agenda-bulk-mark-regexp): Only match against headlines.
Send a message when no entry is marked.
(org-agenda-bulk-action): Fix bug about scattering deadlines.
Send an error when trying to scatter outside an agenda or a
timeline view. Silently fail when trying to scatter sexp
entries.
* org-agenda.el (org-get-entries-from-diary): Put multiline
diary entries on a single line when lines don't start with a
diary time.
This was requested by Suvayu Ali.
Locally kill org-agenda-current-span as a variable, otherwise
the current value of org-agenda-current-span is taken as the
default value when redoing the buffer or calling org-agenda
with a different view.
This might be a temporary fix, as Julien is looking for a
more general solution. See his message here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37359
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-filter-by-tag): Refresh agenda when
updating the filter while the clock report is following the filter.
When the clock table in the agenda has been set up to respect the
current agenda tags filter, modifying the filter will now
automatically rebuild the agenda to make sure that also the clock
report is updated along with it. Updating the entire agenda is not
strictly necessary - updating the table would be enough. However,
right now we do not really have a function that will update only the
clock table, as inserting the table is currently part of building the
agenda itself. Maybe someone can optimize this in the future.
This feature was requested by Sebastien Vauban.

Here's a proposal fix.
I could have setq org-agenda-current-span to nil as a work around, but
it seems more logical to just kill all the local variables. That is, a
custom agenda view would not keep any of the local variable of the
previous agenda, which seems logical to me.

* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-get-day-entries): Compare DATE with

When a user sets org-extend-today-until, the agenda TODO list would
come up empty when requested in the extension period between midnight
and org-extend-today-until. This problem is new, it was caused by a
patch that introduced the function org-today and used it also
in org-todo-list.
The reason why this caused a problem is a bit difficult. The agenda
need a date to be defined, and getting todo entries is subject to the
current date being today. This is a leftover condition from the times
when the TODO list was often part of the daily agenda listing, and the
test is there to avoid that the TODO list comes also up when looking
at the agenda for tomorrow. Much of this is irrelevant now, because
people use either block agendas, or separate views - but the old
functionality is retained for backward compatibility.
This patch fixes the problem by making `org-agenda-get-day-entries'
check for the date computed by `org-today'.

I've followed but not sure I understood what the bug is. But from my
various tries, I found a bug: when pressing 'j', the current span is
discarded.
Attached is a patch that should fix that, even for future use of
`org-agenda-list' with the span unspecified. :)

To accomplish this you'd have to apply the following patch and use 'face

This patch is pretty huge, so I'll give a bit of context about it.
I'm weird, but I used org-agenda-ndays set to 14. Unfortunately, this
settings was interpreted as a month view. Pressing 'f' key to see later,
would show me the next month, which was not at all what I wanted.
On the same idea, day view or week view would change my org-agenda-ndays
settings, which I think is not a good idea. Changing user setting is *bad*.
:-)
So I rewrote the things this way:
- Rename org-agenda-span to org-agenda-current-span
Which has the same meaning has before, except it can be numeric.
- Rename org-agenda-ndays to org-agenda-span
I think the name is better choosen. You can set it to a symbol instead of
only a numeric value. That means you can set it to 'month and it will show
you the number of days of the current month in your agenda. Better than
30. But you can still set it to 30, or 31, or whatever you want.
- Do not change org-agenda-span. Never.
- Use org-agenda-current-span for navigation.
That means if you press 'f', it will shows you really the next
org-agenda-current-span ndays, and not something based on "I think you
want a weekly view".

As Thomas Bauman pointed out, there are functions that can be used in
sexps which return cons cells like this
(nil . "Full Moon 3:35am (CEST)")
(this one is diary-lunar-phases), these aren't properly supported by the
previous version of my patch. This one can distinguish between such a
cons cell and a "real" list.
("John Doe's 10th wedding anniversary"
"Jane Doe's 10th wedding anniversary")
This is because
(consp (cdr '(a . b))) ; => nil
so org-diary-sexp-entry can be made return (cdr result) only in case of
the former cons cell. The third condition in the `cond' block is IMHO
enough as it is now, but if you think adding
(listp (cdr result))
may help then be it.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-add-time-grid-maybe): Pad clock times
with zeros. Start applying face earlier.
Hello,
Here a tiny patch to:
- have padding with 0 for the clock time
- begin applying face org-time-grid from position 2, in order to be properly
aligned with the rest of the agenda (you don't see that if you don't have a
face with background color)
[My apologies, but I'm afraid my first attempt at this patch mistook a
necessary second check for redundancy. Here is an improved version.]
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-prepare-agenda): If the agenda is called
from within the agenda via an elisp link, such as
[[elisp:(org-agenda-list)]], org-prepare-agenda erases the buffer of
the file containing the link, since that buffer is current during
org-prepare agenda (due to a with-current-buffer in
org-agenda-open-link). An additional test now ensures that the
agenda buffer is in fact current when the buffer is erased and local
variables for the agenda are set.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-add-entry-text): Make sure we move
forward even if there is no text to be added.
Adding entry text with org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines greater than
0 could result in an infinite loop.
* org-agenda.el (org-agenda-clock-goto): Use `\C-c\C-x\C-j' for
`org-clock-goto' and `J' for `org-agenda-clock-goto'. If the heading
currently clocked in is not listed in the agenda, display this entry
in another buffer. If there is no running clock, display a help
message.
* org-clock.el (org-clock-set-current): append the filename after the
heading.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-menu-show-match): New option.
(org-agenda-menu-two-column): New option.
(org-agenda-get-restriction-and-command): Implement dispatch menu
without showing the matcher, and with two-column display.
This command jumps to the headline of the clocking task within the
agenda buffer. `org-agenda-clock-goto' is bound to `C-c C-x C-j'.
It is different from `org-clock-goto', which jumps to the currently
clocking entry itself (bound to `J').
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-filter-preset): Document the limitation
for the filter preset - it can only be used for an entire agenda view,
not in an individual block in a block agenda.
* doc/org.texi (Agenda commands): Document the limitation
for the filter preset - it can only be used for an entire agenda view,
not in an individual block in a block agenda.
This patch makes some straightforward corrections to a number of
docstrings. Each change is normally to:
- correct a typo, or
- fix up hyperlinks to function or variable names, or
- ensure slightly better conformance with the documentation guidelines
and tips given in the Elisp manual
No attempt is made to provide missing docstrings or document arguments.

position if target is entire file.
If the target of a bulk refile operation is the entire file,
`org-refile-get-location' returns nil for the refile position.
Creating a marker for the target file's buffer at position nil returns
a marker that points nowhere (Cf. GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual,
31.6). `org-refile' adds headings to level 1 if the target position
for the target file is nil -- and hence a marker that points nowhere
is not nil, tries to jump to nowhere.

Bernt is right, and this patch tries to clarify the issue.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-action): Make `c' key call org-capture.
* lisp/org-capture.el: New file.
* lisp/org-compat.el (org-get-x-clipboard): Function moved here from
remember.el.
* lisp/org-mks.el: New file
* lisp/org.el (org-set-regexps-and-options): Allow statistic cookies as
part of complex headlines.
(org-find-olp): New argument THIS-BUFFER. When set, assume that the
OLP does not contain a file name.
(org-agenda-get-scheduled):
* lisp/org.el (org-time-string-to-seconds):
For deadline and scheduled agenda display ignore the cyclic repeater
when calculating how many days late the task is. If you have a weekly
task and miss the date the agenda view will show more than a week late
now instead of resetting on the cyclic repeating date. This makes it
much more obvious when you missed a repeating task after the repeater.
Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this patch.
Hello, Org mode hackers,
This patch defines a variable `org-agenda-persistent-filters'.
When it is set, filters persist from one agenda view to the next.
I've found this convenient when using tags for contexts like @home,
@net, etc., some of which commonly remain applicable for a while.
Thanks,
Thomas
