on-modify_tag_annotate hook

[linuxcaffe]

On modifying a task with a +ann tag opens editor for annotation (unless the command is 'task ID annotate SOMETHING, in which case the hook is redundant)

@rccavalcanti how about this one?

[rc2dev]

Let me check if I got the idea:

1. Run something like task ID mod +ann
2. A blank editor opens so you can type the annotation.
3. Quit the editor and the annotation is saved, but the ann tag isn't.

This sounds quite straightforward to implement, but not a workflow I'm quite inclined to use.

Well, sort of..
I'm imagining using it for any task where you want to have each step fully annotated, like

task add transfer seedlings proj:greenhouse +staff +ann

Then, every time that task is started or stopped or modified, and when it's completed/ deleted, it gets an opportunity for timestamped and detailed progress notes.

the +ann tag stays put

[rc2dev]

Gotcha. The problem is that it seems you can't hook to all those events aside from add and modify.

Edit: Just realized that completion is a modify event. Start and stop is not clear from documentation, but I just tested and they also trigger the on-modify hook, so not a problem.

Implementing those hooks should be fairly straightforward. I suggest you take a look at the docs.

Thanks Raf! I'm looking at a bunch of other hooks, as a model, and reviewing those docs. I have a WIP hook cooking, cutting and pasting, and remembering what a terrible programmer I am :-) It's fun though, and I think this particular hook could serve a real purpose, so I'll keep poking at it.
