I have dug deeper into my problem of the missing date stamps, and it seems like org is *trying* to insert my date stamps, based on trace output:
1 -> org-add-log-note: purpose=nil | 2 -> org-store-log-note: | | 3 -> org-replace-escapes: string="State %-12s %t" table=(("%u" . "rpg") ("%U" . "Robert P. Goldman") ("%t" . "[2008-10-13 Mon 13:41]") ("%s" . #("\"DONE\"" 0 1 nil 1 5 (face org-done) 5 6 nil))) | | 3 <- org-replace-escapes: #("State \"DONE\" [2008-10-13 Mon 13:41]" 0 7 nil 7 11 (face org-done) 11 41 nil) | 2 <- org-store-log-note: nil 1 <- org-add-log-note: nil This indicates that the system is correctly composing the string to put into my buffer, and that it "thinks" it has successfully inserted it. But it's not ending up in my task list. Is there anything else that I can do to debug this? By the way, I find that org is a little difficult to trace because of the use of &optional --- this seems to badly confuse emacs' trace-function. When I tried to trace org-add-log-setup I got eerie compiler error messages that looked like they came from the bowels of advice.el. Is there a workaround for this? Also, what does it mean to have two &optionals in a lambda list? thanks, r _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
