Re: [Orgmode] Timestamp increment inside tables

Hi Niels,

nice idea, I am taking the patch. There *could* be a problem if you start this command in a table that is not correctly aligned, but I don't think it is worth catering for this special case.

Thanks.

Hi Carsten,

Please consider this patch to `org-table-copy-down', serving to increment timestamps in
an org-table while copying down, similar to integer icrements:

Table alignment does not seem to pose any problems, but this is one thing that might
require some critical looking into.
