Re: Still Wishing for Snooze

Michael:

Thank you for this info. I didn't know that you could add two scheduled 
dates to a task!  Unfortunately, org-mode doesn't handle the dual 
schedule the way I would wish.  For example if I have:

* TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines
   SCHEDULED: <2013-01-24 Thu>
   SCHEDULED: <2013-01-29 Tue +1w>

and I mark the item as done via agenda mode (by hitting 't') it changes 
to this:

* TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines
   SCHEDULED: <2013-01-24 Thu>
   SCHEDULED: <2013-02-05 Tue +1w>

Thus it not only doesn't appear from my to-do list but it skips a 
rescheduled event that I don't want to have skipped.  Am I doing it wrong?

Even if this is the best org-mode can do at the moment, it's a better 
solution than what I have been doing.

Thank you,
:AMN:
