[Orgmode] Re: no running clock
Bastien [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Are you exiting Emacs while the clock is started, then restarting Emacs, and attempting to clock out of an item? I have seen your error message when I do that. If you try to kill a buffer with a running clock, Org asks you whether you want to clock out. If you're not in the buffer where the clock runs, you are still able to see whether a clock is running: the clocked heading is displayed in the mode-line. If you still want to check for a running clock before closing Emacs, you could perhaps do this: Yeah I think I sometimes quit my emacs and start it again, or maybe kill the org buffer. I just thought it parses the entire .org file looking for a started clock with no clock out. I guess I was wrong :D Thanks again !

[Orgmode] Re: Progress logging with org-mode
Carsten Dominik dominik at science.uva.nl writes: I cannot reproduce the indentation you are getting - are you re-indenting the lines with TAB or so? In fact what happens is that any CLOCK below another one that has a note is indented more than the CLOCK above it: Eg (from a real org-mode file this time) CLOCK: [2007-10-03 qua 14:36]--[2007-10-03 qua 14:40] = 0:04 - Updating wiki about mlc. CLOCK: [2007-10-03 qua 13:28]--[2007-10-03 qua 14:36] = 1:08 - Debugging mlc. CLOCK: [2007-10-03 qua 11:46]--[2007-10-03 qua 12:10] = 0:24 This also means that any body text underneath the clocks will be indented differently depending on whether there are notes to the clocks. and the useful information about the subtask is in danger of being swamped by a mass of reverse-ordered progress logs. Actually, I have been bothered by that too. Maybe we should have a special CLOCK drawer and make all those entries go in there Yes, that would make sense. I thought about it but then decided I didn't like the idea of having drawers for all the subtasks - as if that would be noisier than having lots of CLOCK entries in all the subtasks! I'll try tweaking the clock-out function to put completed clocks into a drawer, and see how I like it.

But it only as long as they're not indented by some foolish user, afterwards. I confess I tweak, split and merge clocks quite a lot, as well as re-edit their notes, which is why I care about them having robust and consistent indentation. Very often I come back from a meeting, clock out, and then split the time between multiple tasks that happened to be treated by the meeting. It's probably cleaner to think of each meeting as an individual task, but when you're logging time with a view to billing, that's not always what you want.

[Orgmode] Displaying entry age in line
Hi, I have been using a Google Widget called Days Since: http://leancode.com/dayssince/ which just keeps an automatically updated count of the days since an entry was created. I would like to have the same functionality in org-mode - it already does something along the same lines (automatic calculation) with the checkbox cookies. But perhaps org-mode already supports something along those lines, since it has lots of time related functionality, but I could not find anything just like what I described. Or perhaps it could be achieved with a combination of drawers, timestamps and dynamic blocks. Any suggestions?
