I have the same general problem of, when things heat up too much, I stop using the Org agenda. It's quite the opposite of how it's supposed to work, but I guess it's something about human psychology. I'll be interested to see what people say in this thread. Some suggestions that come to mind: - Create custom agenda views for each project, providing an overview of that project only, but use a single unified agenda view for each day's schedule. Look at the per-project agenda to decide if/how to complete it, but draw the action items into the unified schedule when deciding how to spend your day. It should become evident pretty quickly what you actually have time for. Projects are many, but there is only one of you. - Maybe consider using `org-trigger-hook' and `org-blocker-hook' to cut down on TODO overwhelm. - Use time estimates and then TODO clocking to more swiftly disabuse yourself of unrealistic expectations. This plus a schedule agenda can also help you make sure you stop work at a reasonable time and go do something else. - Say no to more work :) Looking at your solid-packed agenda for the next day works wonders for saying no. Good luck!

If none of what you need to do explicitly requires Org, you may have to scale back what you learn about Org to fit the time you've got. Give yourself permission to accept that the time you have right now for Org isn't what you want. (I hope that's because you're learning lots of other cool things in school.) In situations like these, I like to do just a little each day. Maybe that means reading one paragraph a night before bed. It sounds like you're really excited about Org. (If you are, you've come to the right place. The people here love Org :) Reading about Org would be something fun to look forward to each night. You might be surprised at how motivating that one little paragraph can be! Working through the manual in this way will give you a good overview of how Org can be used and what you personally might use Org it for. > So, if you have any suggestion on how to manage, in Org-mode, projects > with: > * Lot of work to do (many days) > * Short deadline (not enough time) > * High importance (disastrous consequences in my future in case of fail) > * Many of them in the same time > * Progression need to be followed to chose where to sacrifice time to > limit the damages > > I will be happy to read them. :) My suggestion is to not try something new on anything that has a tight deadline. Org is new to you and learning things takes time. This is all normal. Life will throw a lot at you. Some times all I get is 20 minutes at the end of the day. Some days, I get nothing at all. This is because I've filled my life with other cool things, like a partner, a house, friends, etc. If I get to spend some time doing something I think is worthwhile (like trying to help a fellow Org enthusiast), that's time well spent in my book. Isn't there some saying that goes like, "every avalance starts as a snowflake?" Read a little, experiment a little, and over time, you'll be surprised at how much you've learned. You'll get there!
How do you manage complex project with Org-mode
Hello, I don't know if it's the correct place to ask it. If not, sorry to ask in the wrong place. How do you manage complex project with Org-mode ? I used Org-mode for several periods of time in recent years. It worked very well for short and day to day tasks. When only a few of theme have deadlines and when you have plenty of time to do them. But, as a student, I regularly have big and important projects to do for the school. The kind of project who need several days to be done, with deadlines too soon, and if you fail one them the consequences can be disastrous. And generally, I have to many of these project in the same time and not enough time to do all the work. So, I also need to follow the progress of each project to choose which is sufficiently advanced to be stop for the benefit of another less advanced project. And I don't know how to manage this kind of projects with Org-mode. How to do it, without failing a 6 days project because I spent to much time on something else and I have only 3 days left with 3 half-day important appointment I cannot cancel. I can't risk failing a single one of these project by trying. So, when I am in a period with a lot of these projects, I stop using Org-mode and concentrate on doing these project as fast as I can. And because I often have this kind of project, I spend most of the year without being able to use Org-mode. So, if you have any suggestion on how to manage, in Org-mode, projects with: * Lot of work to do (many days) * Short deadline (not enough time) * High importance (disastrous consequences in my future in case of fail) * Many of them in the same time * Progression need to be followed to chose where to sacrifice time to limit the damages I will be happy to read them. :) Best regards - Seb
Re: quotation marks in table cell vs. org-babel-ref-resolve
i have a problem similar to this from a few months ago. in this case, it seems to be when trying to pass a column with a quoted-string inside of it. (this is on the "bugfix" branch.) my e-lisp code seems to get just the initial part of the string from the cell with "odd" contents. #+name: xl | this, "he said" | is where, | "you go in" there | #+begin_src elisp :var xl=xl (message "%S" xl) #+end_src when i execute this, *Messages* says (("this, \"he said\"" "is where," "you go in")) Code block evaluation complete. (my complaint: there's no there there. :) in December, when i reported something similar, Tim pushed back, and maybe i should elaborate: > The key question is what is the use case for having this 'mixed' > content in a table cell? for better or worse, i most often use org-mode tables as (storage and data entry mechanisms for) simple data bases. other than the pipe symbol ('|'), i assume i can put "anything" in a cell, and extract it later. i find this very valuable. normally, i pass such tables to some R code (this example, btw, breaks passing to R code). but occasionally i do other things with them. the behavior i'm seeing seems to me inconsistent, indicating it is maybe not intentional. exporting, for example, at least to html. i see the full contents of the third column. cheers, Greg
Re: Inconsistent handling of multi-line properties
Thank you very much for that suggestion. Unfortunately, that does not seem to work for org-export-taskjuggler. An exported taskjuggler file has extremely simple syntax. For a report, for example, there is the header, "textreport id name {" then a series of "attribute_name", "value" pairs such as "formats html". Some attributes take multi-line string values, which are designated "-8<- \n line1 \n line2 \n ->8-" (but with actual newlines rather than "\n"s). The taskjuggler export uses a very simple approach: when an org headline is tagged as a report, it cycles through the properties, and for each property, simply emits the property name followed by the property value ( org-taskjuggler-valid-report-attributes contains names such as "formats' and "center"): (org-taskjuggler--indent-string > (org-taskjuggler--build-attributes > report org-taskjuggler-valid-report-attributes)) > where > (defun org-taskjuggler--build-attributes (item attributes) > (mapconcat >(lambda (attribute) > (let ((value (org-element-property >(intern (upcase (format ":%s" attribute))) >item))) >(and value (format "%s %s\n" attribute value >(remq nil attributes) "")) > For an org source such as ** Reports > :PROPERTIES: > :REPORT_KIND: textreport > :formats: html > :center: -8<- > :center+:[#Plan Plan] | [#Resource_Allocation Resource Allocation] > :center+: > :center+:=== Plan === > :center+:<[report id="plan"]> > :center+: > :center+:=== Resource Allocation === > :center+:<[report id="resourceGraph"]> > :center+: ->8- > :END: > unfortunately, (org-element-property :center) returns only "-8<-", whereas I want it to return a 9-line string. -- Greg -- Greg Sullivan email: gr...@sulliwood.org cell: 617-417-4746 70 Pigeon Hill Street, Rockport, MA 01966 On Mon, Feb 28, 2022 at 3:37 PM Kaushal Modi wrote: > On Sat, Oct 2, 2021 at 11:03 AM Hanno Perrey wrote: > > > > Hej, > > > > I have noticed that properties that stretch over multiple lines using > > the :value+: syntax are ignored by org-element-property and therefore > > also by e.g. org-export-get-node-property when exporting to ics via > > ox-icalendar.el (see example below).

But I just tried it with your test snippet and it doesn't work as expected even with the EXPORT_ prefix. Also, I don't see any location info get exported to the .ics file (with or without the EXPORT_ prefix). So I don't know what I should expect to see in the .ics file.

Re: Inconsistent handling of multi-line properties
I would really like the ability to use the ":myProperty+: " to create multi-line properties for the org-export-taskjuggler exporter.

[PATCH] ox: Prevent auto-formatting in export buffers
* ox.el (org-export-to-file): `write-region' instead of `write-file'. * ox-odt.el (org-odt-template, org-odt--export-wrap): `write-region' instead of `save-buffer'. `write-file' and `save-buffer' trigger major mode changes, which leads to various mode-related hooks being run. This is undesirable: running these on generated files is wasted time and computation, and it can even lead to hard to track data corruption when auto-formatting hooks are involved. One such case is the 2006 version of the tidy program which ships with stock macOS and can corrupt multi-byte UTF-8 codepoints in HTML and ODT (via XML) exports. And even recent versions of tidy can re-arrange whitespace in the exported documents in unwanted ways.

Re: Protect Org export from auto-formatting hooks
Great, will do :) I realized at the last minute that some `save-buffer' calls in `ox-odt.el' also need to be amended separately (I was mostly testing these tweaks with HTML export, as it's faster / simpler). If it's problematic, we can have that discussion over the patch once I've submitted it. Best, David
[BUG] Propertized space in Agenda's mode-name [9.5.2 (release_9.5.2-3-geb9f34 @ /usr/local/share/emacs/28.0.91/lisp/org/)]
Hi All, I'm trying out the pre-release this week, and in thus doing, I met a particularly strange issue related to Org Agenda's `mode-name'. And one space in particular, the one that is added before `org-agenda-current-span'. The `mode-name' for the Agenda is set by `org-agenda-set-mode-name', and inside it we find: #+begin_src emacs-lisp " " '(:eval (org-agenda-span-name org-agenda-current-span)) #+end_src Now, this space somehow gets propertized. A recipe for it. Start `emacs -Q'. Set things up: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq org-agenda-files '("~/agenda.org")) (setq eval-expression-print-level nil) (setq eval-expression-print-length nil) #+end_src Let's say =agenda.org= contains: #+begin_src org ,* TODO Task SCHEDULED: <2022-02-28 Mon> #+end_src Call `M-x org-agenda RET a'. Now examine `mode-name' with `M-: mode-name RET' to get: #+begin_src emacs-lisp ("Org-Agenda" "" #(" " 0 1 (todo-state #("TODO" 0 4 (fontified nil org-category "agenda")) org-habit-p nil priority 1099 warntime nil ts-date 738214 date (2 28 2022) type "scheduled" org-hd-marker #(moves after insertion) at 1 in agenda.org> org-marker #after insertion) at 24 in agenda.org> face org-scheduled-today undone-face org-scheduled-today help-echo "mouse-2 or RET jump to Org file ~/agenda.org" mouse-face highlight done-face org-agenda-done org-complex-heading-regexp "^\\(\\*+\\)\\(?: +\\(DONE\\|TODO\\)\\)?\\(?: +\\(\\[#.\\]\\)\\)?\\(?: +\\(.*?\\)\\)??\\(?:[ ]+\\(:[[:alnum:]_@#%:]+:\\)\\)?[ ]*$" org-todo-regexp "\\(DONE\\|TODO\\)" org-not-done-regexp "\\(TODO\\)" dotime time format (((org-prefix-has-time t) (org-prefix-has-tag nil) (org-prefix-category-length 12) (org-prefix-has-effort nil) (org-prefix-has-breadcrumbs nil)) (format " %s %s%s%s" (format "%s" (if (member category-icon '("" nil)) "" (concat category-icon "" (get-text-property 0 'extra-space category-icon (format "%-12s" (if (member category '("" nil)) "" (concat category ":" (get-text-property 0 'extra-space category (if (member time '("" nil)) "" (format "%-12s" (concat time ""))) (format "%s" (if (member extra '("" nil)) "" (concat extra " " (get-text-property 0 'extra-space extra)) extra "Scheduled: " time "" level " " txt #("TODO Task" 0 9 (fontified nil org-category "agenda" org-heading t)) breadcrumbs nil duration nil time-of-day nil org-priority-lowest 67 org-priority-highest 65 tags nil org-category "agenda")) (:eval (org-agenda-span-name org-agenda-current-span)) "" "" "" " Ddl" " Grid" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "") #+end_src So, it appears that the Org Agenda buffer's properties are somehow getting to that particular space in `mode-name'. It completely beats me how it is so but, alas, it is there. This is a problem because, depending on what the content of your agenda is, this might result in this space getting some visually distinctive property. In my case, I get a blank gap in the mode-line at this point. I couldn't generate a simple ECM that gets this effect. But, at this point, it should be clear it can happen, given these properties are there. This was all tested with the latest pre-release tarball, and the Org built-in there. (I did not get the mode-line gap with 27.2 and the latest Org release for the same agendas). Btw, since we are talking about this particular space in `mode-name', I always had some qualms with the fact that it is unconditionally added there, so that we get a double space for Agendas for which `(:eval (org-agenda-span-name org-agenda-current-span))' results in an empty string (e.g. a simple todo agenda). Couldn't this space be added there conditionally there? It is likely trivial to handle it directly in `org-agenda-span-name' (I know it also used in `org-agenda-list', but an optional argument could make the distinction). WDYT? Best regards, Gustavo.
