Re: [Orgmode] Deadline->scheduled workflow

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Norbert,

Robert Goldman had the same request - that makes two of you.

Implemented now, please use the variable

org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled.

To get the two-level system you were proposing, set the variable to
a number like 7.

(setq org-deadline-warning-days 30
      org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled 7)
