[Orgmode] Can't get tasks [%] and [/] to work
Dear All, I probably miss something here, but I really cannot get subtasks stats to work (i.e. what's described in the manual at 5.5 Breaking tasks down into subtasks). For instance, in the snippet below : *** Cage [%] DONE Redesign motherboard SCHEDULED: 2009-07-29 mer. - State DONE from TODO [2009-09-01 mar. 10:59] DONE Solder motherboard SCHEDULED: 2009-07-30 jeu. - State DONE from TODO [2009-09-01 mar. 10:59] DONE Write code SCHEDULED: 2009-07-31 ven. - State DONE from TODO [2009-09-01 mar. 10:59] All subentries are marked DONE, but the [%] next to cage stays empty. If I try to force an update with 'C-c #', I get : *** Cage [0%] which is also wrong. Another example is here : DONE Web interface [100%] - [X] Fix lang page - Implement buttons in web interface [0/1] - [ ] Refresh Medias (content) 100% is wrong, since Refresh Medias isn't checked.

[Orgmode] bad habit (deleting elipses in folded tree)
I have a bad habit. How can I defeat it? Often an elipsis (...) is seen at the bottom of a new entry from a remember template. I find myself deleting them, compulsively. I'm not so sure, but I THINK that sometimes this is ok, and I now am afraid I have discovered that at some times a whole bunch of pre-exiisting entries are deleted when I delete the elipsis. What's the scoop about elipses? Which variables are relevant? Can I defeat this habit by reconfiguring, or do I have to force myself to have better habits?

To my mind, this edit was a configuration and not a local change. When I looked through the FAQ I didn't stop to read How can I keep local changes and still track Org mode development because I hadn't made any changes to the lisp source of org-mode, so thought I couldn't possibly have made a local change. I think I can see now how the distinction I was making between a local change and a configuration isn't sensible from a developer's point of view, but I'm not sure I would have been able to do so without falling back on my graduate school training in linguistic anthropology!

Re: [Orgmode] RSI
Emacs can definitely lead to RSI - Richard Stallman, the creator, developed it. I am quite prone to RSI, which led me to VIM due to its modal operation (very few modifier key combos). I used VIM for quite a while and did not have any issues, but org-mode pulled me to emacs. I now use a kinesis keyboard and have no RSI issues. The keyboard combined with the idea expressed below that you use different hands when pressing control key combinations has really helped. The Kinesis puts all the control keys (control, meta, command) on your thumbs. Its expensive, but worth every penny to me at least. Check them out at http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/ Keith On Sep 1, 2009, at 1:11 PM, Samuel Wales wrote: Orgers, Repetitive strain injury is real and important. One thing that you can do is to ensure that you have a keyboard that has modifier keys on both sides. You should pound a new habit into your cerebellum: use two hands.

In case of right handed people the right control key is usually unused, so it's practical to use it for something else than it's original purpose. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Release 6.30
Hi Carsten, Thanks for the release! The dedicated frame patch does not actually appear to be in this release, though. On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 12:20 AM, Carsten Dominikcarsten.domi...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I am releasing Org-mode version 6.30. Enjoy! - Carsten Changes in Version 6.30 === Inconsistent changes ~ Agenda now uses `f' and `b' to move through time = Up to now, the Org-mode agenda used the cursor keys `left' and `right' to switch the agenda view forward an backward through time. However, many people found this confusing, and others wanted to be able to do cursor motion in the agenda, for example to select text. Therefore, after an extensive discussion on `emacs-orgm...@gnu.org', it was decided to use the `b' and `f' keys instead, and to let the cursor keys do cursor motion again. Agenda follow mode is now on the `F' key = This was necessary to free up the `f' key, see above. Details Maintenance New command to submit a bug report --- There is now a special command `M-x org-submit-bug-report'. This command will create a mail buffer with lots of useful details. In particular, it contains complete version information for Emacs and Org-mode. It will also (if you agree to it) contain all non-standard settings of org-mode and outline-mode related variables. Even if you do not sent your emails from within Emacs, please still use this command to generate the information and then copy it into your mail program. The command will not generate and include a `*Backtrace*' buffer, please do this yourself if you have hit an error. For more information, see the [feedback section] of the manual. [feedback section]: http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback New contributed package org-track.el - This package allows to keep up-to-date with current Org development, using only Emacs on-board means. So if you don't want or cannot use `git', but still want to run the latest and hottest Org-mode, this is for you. Thanks to Sebastian Rose for this contribution. Agenda === Agenda now uses `f' and `b' to move through time - Up to now, the Org-mode agenda used the cursor keys `left' and `right' to switch the agenda view forward an backward through time.

Agenda follow mode is now on the `F' key - This was necessary to free up the `f' key, see above. The agenda can be put into a dedicated frame - When the variable `org-agenda-window-setup' has the value `separate-frame', then the new frame created to show the agenda will now have the window marked as /dedicated/. As a consequence, exiting the agenda while the agenda is the only window on the frame will kill that frame. This was a request by Henry Atting. New mode to show some entry body text in the agenda There is now a new agenda sub-mode called `org-agenda-entry-text-mode'. It is toggled with the `E' key. When active, all entries in the agenda will be accompanied by a few lines from the outline entry. The amount of text can be customized with the variable `org-agenda-entry-text-maxlines'. This was a request by Anthony Fairchild, Manish, and others. Improve following links from the agenda `C-c C-o' in the agenda will now offer all links in the headline and text of an entry. If there is only a single link, it will be followed immediately. Avoid some duplicate entries - There is a new variable that can be used to avoid some duplicate agenda entries: `org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown' If that is set, it avoids that an entry shows up in the agenda for today for both a scheduling and a deadline entry. See the docstring of the variables for more details. This partially addresses a request by Samuel Wales. Mark the running clock in the agenda. -- If the entry currently being clocked is present in the agenda, it will be highlighted with the face `org-agenda-clocking'. This was a request by Rainer Stengele. Export === Allow LaTeX export to use the listings package --- The LaTeX `listings' package can now be used for formatting fontified

I'm not sure what the correct behavior for that function is, since it may ultimately be used for different purposes, e.g., to generate an agenda and for exporting. For exporting to various formats, is there any reason to escape Org-like lines -- headers and comments -- of an #INCLUDE'd file, since the file contents are indented in the output anyway and so there can be no confusion? I'm not sure that the indentation occurs for all export formats, but it seems to be the case for ASCII and HTML export. At any rate, the docstring of org-get-file-contents is inconsistent with the behavior: If MARKUP, don't protect org-like lines, the exporter will take care of the block they are in. It is actually protecting org-like lines when the markup is src or example. -- Best, Hsiu-Khuern. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

If you have a flatrate and if you don't mind to have a computer constantly running at home, you can use the Android app ConnectBot (or normal ssh on Debian) to do your Emacs work including org stuff.

Hi, please remember a org-file is still (and thankfully and amazingly) a plain text file. As long as you are not going to make big changes, any other (smaller) text editor will do, e.g., nano, pico, *cough* vim *cough*.
