Hello, Thanks for your response. As you suggest, I switched to using the EXPORT_DATE property. It works as expected.
Now a little problem that I have is that I cannot have timestamps like «10 September 2015» in my exports, but a literal inactive timestamp. This is because in the related capture template, I have to use `%u' to add a timestamp, which adds an inactive timestamp, reusing the date that I entered into the datetree prompt. There is the %<...> directive for the capture templates which allows me to put in a time format, as in `format-time-string', but it gets its value from `current-time', not from the date of the datetree prompt. Now I do not know if this is a feature or a bug, but if I want to copy over lecture notes from some time ago, it's a problem. -gk On Sat, Oct 17 2015 at 10:33:08 am EEST, Kyle Meyer <k...@kyleam.com> wrote: > Hello, > > s...@gkayaalp.com (Göktuğ Kayaalp) writes: > >> Hi, >> >> This is my first post to this group, so I'm sorry if I'm skipping any >> conventions. > > Welcome to the list.
