[O] Bug: malformed property drawers [8.3.6 (8.3.6-3-gf46b92-elpa @ c:/Users/atamulis/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20160919/)]

[Tamulis, Andrius]

I have a problem with orgmode related to the fixing of "malformed 
property drawers".


I use orgmode a lot; I have been using it for over a decade (if memory 
serves.) I use it to organize my life, my job, by volunteer work . My 
.org files are rather large - one is over 500 KB (that's for my job). I 
am having a problem with the (comparatively recent) change in the code 
that causes org-agenda-set-property (C-c C-x p) to search through the 
entire file looking for "malformed property drawers".


Over the years, my files have accumulated many, many property drawers 
that are not, strictly, in the correct place (which is supposed to be 
just below the SCHEDULED and DEADLINE line, right?). This used to not be 
a problem, then someone "fixed" the code, and now 
org-agenda-set-property tries to fix the drawers. And, unfortunatly, it 
"fixes" them by ignoring the drawer in the incorrect location and 
creating a new, empty one, not having carried over any properties.


There is a problem even if I want to "fix" these drawers by hand. There 
are many, many drawers, and the fix is long and tedious:


   C-c C-x p
   get the error message
   remember the character location
   C-g, M-x goto-char
   type character location
   hope that section has been unfolded (The fix searches inside
   ARCHIVEd locations!)
   check that the PROPERTY drawer does not have any important
   properties (except those left there by mobileorg)
   delete property drawer.

   Until {I get sick of it}

   C-c C-x P and type "CATEGORY:" myself, without the typing completion
   of C-c C-x p.


I think that you should possible go back to the way it was before the 
"fix the properties" patch. If it is terribly important to fix the 
drawers, create a new function that fixes them as intelligently as 
possible (copying existing drawers into the correct place).


But the better idea is to forget "fixing" these drawers. Is it truly 
that important to have the SCHEDULED and DEADLINE in the line below the 
heading, and the PROPERTIES drawer directly beneath? I see no 
programming advantage, since you need to search for these strings 
anyway. And I don't like the way it looks: I use org-mode to keep todo 
lists and notes, I need to read the notes and instructions I wrote to 
myself. These notes and instructions often are longer than the headline, 
so I naturally keep reading from the headline to the line below - and 
then I have to skip lines with code in them. And I'm not the only one 
who does not like this setup: there's code out there to completly hide 
the PROPERTIES drawer so that it does not interrupt your reading. 
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17478260/completely-hide-the-properties-drawer-in-org-mode). 



So: put SCHEDULED, DEADLINE, and drawers anywhere in the item! And stop 
fixing the drawers!

[O] Bug: org-table/auctex error "Marker does not point anywhere" [8.3.6 (8.3.6-3-gf46b92-elpa @ c:/Users/atamulis/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20160919/)]

[Tamulis, Andrius]

I get an error "Marker does not point anywhere" when using orgtbl-mode 
while using AUCTeX to edit a .tex file.


I open the .tex file, get to the table I want to edit, then do M-x 
orgtbl-mode. I then tab a couple of times. Then make an edit - any edit. 
Tab again, and the error comes up.


I finally traced the error to the line

   '(font-lock-global-modes nil)

in my .emacs file. Comment this out, and the error does not happen.

The error also does not happen if I rename the min.tex file to 
min.nottex, as then auctex does not recognize the file, and does not 
load. So this is a joint org-table/auctex/font-lock error, and I am 
submitting this bug to emacs-orgmode@gnu.org and to bug-auc...@gnu.org.


I really don't like font-lock, as I don't like all those colors. I'd 
prefer to have my font-lock-global-modes set to nil, somehow.


Minimal files and backtrace below.

Andrius

[O] Kanban board as an agenda view

[eeli]

Hello,

I was inspired by this post[1], that describes a workflow that uses
links and a table to organize tasks in columns like on a Kanban
board[2].

I started thinking if this kind of visualization could be done
automatically by implementing a view like the agenda, that would use
`org-todo-keywords' as column headings and layout TODO items from
`org-agenda-files' into a columnar view.

Is there any prior work on this, or is anyone willing to implement it?
If not, could you kindly point me to the right direction, so I can start
hacking?

I have simply about 40 pictures in the org file, and only 18 pictures
are showing regularly, while other pictures show on the side of the PDF
file, LaTeX output, cut and not visible. I have tried many things, but
could not make more than 18 pictures to display properly.

I am using following format to display pictures

[O] comment lines inside org tables

[Rolf Sander (MPI)]

Hello,

I need to put comments inside a very big table which then should
basically looks like this:

|+---+|
| animal | size  | number |
|+---+|
| gnus   | big   |  3 |
# don't forget to add elephants here:
| gnats  | small |   1000 |
|+---+|

However, if I simply add a line in the middle of the table, org-tbl
splits it into separate tables with different column widths:

|+--+|
| animal | size | number |
|+--+|
| gnus   | big  |  3 |
# don't forget to add elephants here:
| gnats | small | 1000 |
|---+---+--|

If I start the comment line with "|", the comment becomes an active part
of the table and goes into the first column:

|-+---+|
| animal  | size  | number |
|-+---+|
| gnus| big   |  3 |
| don't forget to add elephants here: |   ||
| gnats   | small |   1000 |
|-+---+|

If I start the comment with "|-", it turns into a line separator and the
comment text disappears.

Any suggestions?

 Best regards
Rolf

Re: [O] Failure to display more than 18 images with captions

[William Henney]

I think Jean Louis is right: it _is_ an org issue.   The problem is that
the default value of org-latex-default-figure-position is "htb", which is a
very bad idea.  The string always needs to contain a "p" in it somewhere,
otherwise latex will never be able to find a solution for figure placement
in cases with many floats and little or no text.

Fuller explanation: The position specifiers "h" (here), "t" (top), and "b"
(bottom) are all for placing floats on a page that has some "normal" text
on.  For all 3 cases, there is a minimum fraction of the page that must be
occupied by text (controlled by the parameter \textfraction, which by
default is 0.2).  To get pages that are entirely occupied by floats, you
need to use the specifier "p" (page).  So, by just using "htb" you are
giving latex a set of requirements that are impossible to satisfy if there
are many floats and no text.  Hence the problem with "Too many unprocessed
floats".  I would recommend that the default be "htbp" instead.

In this case, both "parent" and "grandparent" are confusing terms.
I made a change to M-RET docstring, hopefully eschewing the confusion.
Please let me know if there is still something wrong there.

Re: [O] Bug? org-export-babel-evaluate setting breaks :exports results

[Grant Rettke]

This setting is one of the gems for developing a personal workflow.

My workflow is to never evaluate during export because I want the
document to serve as the "master" or the "one source of truth" that is
stored in version control.

The other perspective is never to store it which is what some people want, too!

Re: [O] Failure to display more than 18 images with captions

[Jean Louis]

IMHO, the program Org Mode shall not give error when exporting PDF, or
it should be documented that certain number of pictures are not
tolerated and how to increase that number or how to avoid the problem.

Maybe something like explained here:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/46512/too-many-unprocessed-floats

like "morefloats" package:
ctan.org/pkg/morefloats

or \extrafloats{100}

But I did not get that working, I have simply turned off floats.

you can try

,[ C-h f org-table-map-tables RET ]
| org-table-map-tables is a compiled Lisp function in
| ‘../org-mode/lisp/org.el’.
| 
| (org-table-map-tables FUNCTION  QUIETLY)
| 
| Apply FUNCTION to the start of all tables in the buffer.
| 
| [back]
`

to go to all tables in the buffer, then inside FUNCTION you would need
to check first if the table is named and is the one your are looking
for. If so, get the table as list, work on the list, and insert the new
table replacing the old one (org-dp-create-table inserts a table when
given a nested list). 
Finally move point to the end of the inserted table, so the mapping
function can continue.

PS
org-element and org-dp allow you to do these things too, maybe even
more comfortably if you are familiar with these libraries. But right now
I'm not really able to give you a working example in reasonable time.

buffer-wide, etc. For buffer-wide setting, one line is all it takes:


: #+PROPERTY: header-args :eval never-export

(and remember to C-c C-c on that line whenever you insert/edit it)



is there a reason why the header args have to be ignored when
org-export-babel-evaluate is nil? or asking more directly: would it be
possible to have another option, e.g.,

(setq org-export-babel-evaluate 'never-eval-obey-header-args)



But that is what :eval never-export does.


such that the export process does never evaluate src code but header
arguments are always obeyed?



Possible, yes. But since it adds no new capability and makes the babel 
code more involved, there isn't the motivtion to do it.

Re: [O] Capture template creates multiple property drawers, help needed

[Xebar Saram]

thx phil

i now remember why i indented the  sub headers. i use a init.el file thats
an org file (that is i tangle my setting.org) into settings.el at startup
thus the above capture you kindly shared:

 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp  :results none

  ** TODO Finalize %?%^{item}
 SCHEDULED: <%(my-next-next-working-day)>
  *** TODO Process %\1
 SCHEDULED: <%(my-next-working-day)>
   TODO Prepare %\1
   SCHEDULED: %t
#+END_SRC

will break the actual lisp code blocks.

Does anyone know how to get around in org lisp code blocks in an org config?

Re: [O] Failure to display more than 18 images with captions

[Jean Louis]

Thank you. It is possible to increase the number of floats in LaTeX, but
I could not succeed.

I found out that problem is also in compilation of the table of
contents, so when I turned toc off, I could see pictures.

Further, I am now using non-floats with:

#+ATTR_LATEX: :float nil

and I can get now the file to work fully as I am expecting, including
pictures are on the place where I wanted them to be.

It is solved for me, not solved in general as a problem in Org mode.

Re: [O] Failure to display more than 18 images with captions

[John Kitchin]

this looks like an issue related to floats. It works with out the
caption because they are not floats in that case. But, with floats,
there are limits.

see
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/46512/too-many-unprocessed-floats.

According to that page:

LaTeX can, by default, only cope with 18 outstanding floats; any more,
and you get the error “too many unsuppressed floats”. This package
releases the limit; TeX itself imposes limits (which are interdependent
of the help offered by e-TeX). However, if your floats can’t be placed
anywhere, extending the number of floats merely delays the arrival of
the inevitable error message.

You may be able to add \clearpage every few figures or use a package
that makes this work.

No, this is current behaviour.  The buffer should definitely be created
but probably only if the org is exported to LaTeX without error.  It could
be the exporter is failing before it attempts to compile the LaTeX into
PDF.  Check your messages (C-h e)?  Typical error that causes the first
step to fail would be dangling links, for instance.

Re: [O] Capture template creates multiple property drawers, help needed

[Philip Hudson]

Your target location defines how many stars you need at the top-level
of your capture template. Each successive level of sub-heading then
starts on its own line with one more leading star, just the same as
anywhere else in org-mode.

I use a certain capture template for a type of task with required
subtasks. That template could be massively simplified as:

  ** TODO Finalize %?%^{item}
 SCHEDULED: <%(my-next-next-working-day)>
  *** TODO Process %\1
 SCHEDULED: <%(my-next-working-day)>
   TODO Prepare %\1
   SCHEDULED: %t

WFM with target heading "* Captures" in file "Todo.org"

got it thx Phillip, appreciate it!

in a related continued issue, how does one define a sub header in the

orc capture?

i have tried both this inside a capture:

  %^{prompt|*** Ingredients}


and also just using 2 stars

yet none of them create a sub header. any clue guys?

You need to put the timestamp (%u) /after/ the drawer in the template.

[O] Failure to display more than 18 images with captions

[Jean Louis]

Hello,

I have problem with Org Mode, that it fails to display more than 18
images correctly, while exporting to PDF (LaTeX export).

I am using images in following manner:

#+CAPTION: Title of image
#+NAME: fig:pic001
[[/some/image001.jpg]]

#+CAPTION: Title of image
#+NAME: fig:pic002
[[/some/image002.jpg]]

#+CAPTION: Title of image
#+NAME: fig:pic003
[[/some/image003.jpg]]

 and so on until 40-50 images ...

#+CAPTION: Title of image
#+NAME: fig:pic060
[[/some/image060.jpg]]

If I only put links without CAPTION and NAME, the export is working
well, but images are not nicely formatted. If I am using CAPTION without
NAME, I get the same problem, so only 18 images are displayed.

I have tried to display random images, to verify is it about the link or
what would be the cause, but always 18 images are displayed.

Few images are displayed on the side of the PDF, cut, not visible,
covering the right side border of the PDF file.

I would really need help to get it working, as I use Org Mode for
reporting.

Thank you,
J. Louis

Re: [O] Cask-initialize messes up org table manipulation commands

[Heikki Lehvaslaiho]

Thanks for suggestions, Adam.

I had not realised that the bug-hunter package can do interactive tests. I
used it now and got the same result: the problem is caused by
the (cask-initialize) expression.

As far as I understand, cask-initialize only collects the directory
locations and dependencies of packages as a struct that is then processed
later during the emacs start-up. How that can mess up the org cursor
movement is a complete mystery to me.

I am using org mode and use-package to maintain, launch and configure my
packages. The culprit can not be the tangling process nor the launching of
the packages because they happens after cask is initialized (and bug-hunter
works on elisp file, only).

I did try emacs with the -q but did not see any difference to -Q.

The one piece of information that I did not include in my posting: My emacs
comes from homebrew git HEAD and is installed it with:

brew unlink emacs
brew uninstall emacs
brew install emacs --HEAD --use-git-head --with-cocoa --with-gnutls
--with-rsvg --with-imagemagick
brew linkapps

Maybe I should try raising an issue for cask (https://github.com/cask/cask).
