You can set org-clock-into-drawer to a number, which is used as threshold. When there are equal or more clocking entries, then they are put into a drawer. > After testing I have found out that: > - default behaviour on an emacs23 org-mode is to clock into a :LOGBOOK: > drawer if it exists > - I can set the org-clock-into-drawer variable to t, and then it will > create a :LOGBOOK: drawer when clocking in, and I can move the rest > of the timestamps into i > - My emacs23 org-mode doesn't have the CLOCK_INTO_DRAWER property, and > setting the LOG_INTO_DRAWER property on a subtree to t and always > (the values I tried) didn't have any effect on clocking > > If there had been a quick way to add a :LOGBOOK: drawer to a TODO item, > I would have just used the current behaviour and inserted :LOGBOOK: > drawers at need. > > Hm... I think the simplest way is to set org-clock-into-drawer to t in > .emacs, and see how that behaviour suits me. You can also set org-clock-into-drawer to a string (e.g. "CLOCKS"), then this string is used instead of "LOGBOOK". C-h v org-clock-into-drawer RET gives the complete documentation. Regards, Olaf
