No configuration option to disable CLOSED: <date> for DONE items ?

Open sokolgeo opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Hello!

I'm running Orgzly 1.6.8 from F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.orgzly/ on Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3110) tablet under Replicant 6.0 0003 https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxyTab270P31xx

When I set a task to DONE status, there is CLOSED metadata field being automatically added to the task. This CLOSED metadata field contains date and time when the task was set to DONE state.

I strongly believe there was configuration option in Orgzly to enable/disable this behavior. But now I could find nothing in Orgzly configuration and in Orgzly code - it seems like CLOSED metadata field is filled in every time task is set to DONE?

Could you please help - is there a way to disable filling in CLOSED metadata field for tasks set to DONE status?

Thank you!

George

I would also like this option. I want to use Orgzly in tandem with a regular text editor on desktop and having a CLOSED line (with an "optional" new line) after every DONE item really clutters up the file and makes long lists look broken up. All this for not much benefit.

Really annoying option when opening files on the desktop

Hope they add this, doesn't look very hard to do. In the meantime, here is a simple regex for removing it.

:%s/CLOSED: \[\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \w+ \d{2}:\d{2}\] //g
