Hi James, this small patch against current org-colview.el lets you have a custom function for computing a "summary" of a property and displaying it in the column. To compute the time since the timestamp, you can use this patch and some of your code like this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq org-columns-custom-summary-function 'my-org-compute-since) (defun org-time-since (time) "Get the number of days since `time'" (time-to-number-of-days (time-since (apply 'encode-time (org-parse-time-string time))))) (defun my-org-compute-since (&rest values) "Eval elapsted days since the entry's timestamp." (let* ((ts (org-entry-get (point) "TIMESTAMP"))) (when ts (org-time-since ts)))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- This patch is just a workaround, though. I think we should have a way of adding more than one custom function, as Mikael Fornius suggested when sending his first patch. Let's see what's Carsten take on this. Thanks!
