Missing features: checkboxes, and repeating timestamps

Open jessekelly881 opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Hello! Thank you for the wonderful project that is orga. I am starting a project built on top of orga and so far it has been a pleasure to work with. I have had a few issues though, which are very minor. These include:

  1. Currently, orga does not recognize [/] or [%] as separate objects in the headline. It currently only shows up as part of the headline text.

  2. In org mode #+TBLFMs need to be placed after the table they act on for them to have any effect. Orga does not respect this and places the #+TBLFM in the root meta. This is an issue because there is no way of know which table this formula is acting on. #+TBLFMs should really be placed in the table node instead of just thrown in the root node.

  3. Orga does not recognize date tags that are not either placed after DEADLINE or SCHEDULED and handles them as text. Orga is clearly able to recognize these tags so it should be easy to extend this to date objects outside of DEADLINE or SCHEDULED.

  4. Another issue related to #4 is that orga does not handle repeated dates correctly. Actually for a date like this:

DEADLINE: <2017-12-10 Sun .+1W>

Orga completely ignores this and returns {keyword: "DEADLINE", type: "planning"} with no date stamp.

Really, thank you fr your work on orga. If you need any help fixing these issues I would be happy to be of assistance. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the feedbacks. You are right about all of them. It's not yet implemented due to low priority (for me... at least). I will create different issues for individual problems so we can break them down.

Hey @jessekelly881. I know this is so overdue, one of the reason was that with the way orga v1.x was implemented, it is pretty difficult for some of these features to be properly implemented. Now that the v2 is very close to feature complete, with a huge refactor with all these features in mind, it now has the capacity to handle them (I believe 🤞 ). I have created issues for each individual features and will get on them soon. Oh, please come to the website to try out the latest and greatest features in this pretty cool real-time playground. Let me know if there are any issues.
