[emacs-wiki-discuss] RE: New: planner-tasks-file-behavior

[Raymond Zeitler]

Hi Sacha and all:

When this thread first came up, I thought to suggest that Emacs should
modify the files without actually visiting them.  Of course that's
stupid.  I post now only because it might spark some ideas.  Does Emacs
support invisible buffers?

Anyway, I'd prefer that Planner leave only one file in the buffer list -
the current day page.  I carry forward many (long term) tasks, so I
typically start Planner, then close Emacs when the smoke clears.  Then I
immediately re-start Emacs and Planner.  My spd-kill-buffers is handy,
too, for mid-day use after several tasks have been modified.
Unfortunately, it also kills the current day page.

I can't comment on the patch because I'm a nervous ninny and run only
the stable branch.  I'm looking forward to trying it, though.

Thanks for all that you and the other maintainers do!

Hello, everyone!

I finally got around to working on Frederik Fouvry's patch to
planner-update-task, [snip] He wanted it to close
files that it had to open itself.

planner--dev--1.0--patch-167 now includes the
planner-tasks-file-behavior user option. By default, it closes all the
extra buffers opened by plan, planner-copy-or-move-region,
planner-copy-or-move-task, planner-replan-task, and
planner-update-task. (plan) should add just one new buffer: the buffer
for today.

[snip]
If you feel strongly about this new behavior (+ or -) being the
default, please drop me a note and either make my day (and tempt me to
procrastinate more) or help me figure out a better implementation.
