Re: [O] [Orgmode] Feature Request: Keeping me honest
Hi Adam. I still lurk on the org-mode list. I'm not using org as much as a TODO system any more, mostly for publishing and notes, so I am not sure if it works with the lates version of org. Attached is the code, released for those that might find it of value. It has not substantially changed in all that time. Its essentially an extra highlighter aimed at org-mode nodes that have tags like todo and project. regards, Tim.

Re: [O] [Orgmode] Feature request: IDs on anything
Apparently my post wasn't connected to the original thread, so here it is - http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-03/msg00176.html Samuel, may be i will start implementing something like that locally, on my computer. Org already can substitute a spreadsheet or a plain-text data storage with tables, a wiki with external and internal links etc, but it still can't be a full-pledged key-value store (which can be used as semantic NoSQL database). So i would start implementing maps (dicts, key-value stores) upon org-mode. I want to do it incrementally, adding one small feature at a time. I want to implement the following features: - Automatically assign unique IDs to all headlines in buffer/region/subtree - Nested properties (properties are maps basically) - does that require nested drawers? - Property :LINKS: and commands to navigate across headlines linked to each other - Previous property does not set the nature of a link (parent, child, prerequisite, reference), implement :LINK-TYPE: or something like that - Previous task allows to export to RDF, because now any relationship of headlines can be seen as triple headline1 - type-of-link - headline2 These additions do not require any new syntax, they build upon good old properties. After that id-markers would be a magnificent generalization. Also, i do not promise i will do this anytime soon, i'm no expert in Emacs Lisp. Any thoughts welcome :)

Using ID markers we can ... management could be made out of that. Every ID marker will effectively become a graph vertice. Yes, you got it. Wherever an ID marker is, that place is a graph vertex. Because it uses Org IDs, it is pretty unbreakable and can be linked to across files. If you move it, you don't have to change anything that points to it. You can change how an ID marker looks by adding a keyword argument (like :label or :face) to the marker. === As you suggest, the arguments can let you point to other markers to create arbitrary graph structures. Among other things, this allows =unbreakable bidirectional links=. IMO these potentially solve a few unaddressed aspects of the =tree problem= (my term for the fact that ideas and tasks naturally form a graph but outlines form a tree). Especially with the right label code. RET bounces between the ends. Of course, this is vaporware as. It's been discussed in a bunch of threads. Perhaps you would be willing to try implementing it.

Re: [O] [Orgmode] Feature request: IDs on anything
I really love this idea of ID markers. It would open so many opportunities
for semantic extensions of org-mode and not only. Using ID markers we can
make a associative array (map, dict, key-value store) out of anything.
Meaningful task planning, project management, knowledge and information
management could be made out of that. Every ID marker will effectively
become a graph vertice.
As a variant, i would propose the Clojure syntax for maps:
{B7423F4D-2E8A-471B-8810-C40F074717E9 {:label foo :export-label bar}}
Or something like that. The nested maps are like in NoSQL DBs (ex:
CouchDB), where you have structure like {:database1 {:document1 {:key1
value1 :key2 { ... } ... } ... } ... }
However i found that curly braces are used in many occasions in org-mode:
tags mutual exclusion, column attribute summary-type, capture templates -
template expansion, tag regular expressions, #+caption: [1]{2}, macro
replacement, embedded latex, source code.
So if this syntax is unacceptable, $[] is fine too.

[Orgmode] Feature Request: attach link type
Hello List, One org-mode feature that I find extremely useful is org-attach. I use it frequently as an easy way to store files associated with a task (in fact, any sub-tree) without worrying too much about where the files are located (for some specific sub-trees I like to set the attach directory). However, sometimes I need to put a link to an attached file in the text in its sub-tree. Up to now I just used the path to the file, but that required me to locate where the file is located in order to insert the link. This is not a lot of work, but destroys the beauty of attached files, IMHO, and I think some attach link type would be a better solution. Using the functions already provided by org-attach I could get #+LINK: attach elisp:(org-open-file (org-attach-expand %s)) However, I always have to confirm the execution of the elisp code. It would be better if this link type was already provided in org (possible when org-attach is loaded). Besides, org inline images should work with this link type. Other useful things (just random thoughts) could be: - Perform some operation when a file is attached, such as replacing white-spaces in the file-name by underscores - When a file is attached a link to it could be stored in the kill ring, in case the user want to insert it in the current text.

Re: [Orgmode] Feature request: another Org file for anniversary entries
Hi Bastien, I may mixed two thinks I supposed to achieve. 1. to be able to export anniversaries in a separate .ics file. As you posted recently, in a new org-mode release, it will be possible to use `org-icalendar-honor-noexport-tag' customization. I have not tried yet, but it should work. So, this is likely not the case right now. 2. I have a lot of anniversaries and I want to store new items (by pressing i a in Org Agenda buffer) to a different .org file. I do not want to have them in the same file as the other diary entries (by pressing i d o i b). Are there any settings I can use for the purpose? Maybe I missed something.

Hi list, Although I try to keep all my org files inside a ~/org directory, I often find myself creating org files outside of this directory context, for example, as a bucket for a new project I'm working on, to keep notes, todos, etc. It'd be nice if we had a org-backup function that would fetch all files from the agenda + linked files and create a compressed backup of them. What do you think? Cheers, Marcelo. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

[Orgmode] Feature Request: Assort a subtree randomly ?
Let's say I have a subtree, of review materials, for example. I would like to randomize the order of the elements. I would like to have the option to randomize the subtree in some different ways: 1. sort the members of one subtree that is a list, randomly. 2. sort all the headlines, randomly. 3. sort the subtrees randomly, and the lists within each sub-subtree also randomly, ad nauseum. I have written a sort routine in elisp. It's been many long years ago, but I remember that the basis support for writing sorts is pretty general. Suppose I had time to do this. What would I need to look at? Of course, my need is today, to sort review materials for my students in random order. Alan Davis Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting.

Re: [Orgmode] Feature request: another Org file for anniversary entries
Hi Gionanni, As I understand code in org-agenda-add-entry-to-org-agenda-diary-file function, it search for * Anniversaries string in org-agenda-diary-file file. It is the same file, where other events (i d (day), i b (block)) are inserted. But I would like to paste anniversaries to another org mode file. The reason is, org-agenda-diary-file org file is exported to iCalendar format and published to my mobile device. Here, I do not want to have these anniversaries. I want to export anniversaries to another iCalendar file, which is not published to my mobile device, but is imported by another tools. So, my patch introduces a new custom variable org-agenda-anniversary-entry, which enables this feature. So, my regular diary events are stored in main.org file and anniversaries in anniversary.org file. Is it clear right now? Because it does not seem to me, your suggestion solves me problem. Regards, Juraj PS: Sorry, the first patch is missing a peace of code, the second one should be right and complete.

[Orgmode] [Feature Request] Cross headings in tables
Now that I've started exporting some org files (to HTML mostly), I run into some limitations here and there. I've worked around most of them, but have not been able to do anything about this (other than editing the resulting HTML): I have some tables where I used (without thinking much about it) cross headings like this: |--+-+-| | Header | some more | and more| | actually | multi-line headings | just work! | |--+-+-| | item | stuff | things | | etc. | pp. | ad nauseam | |--+-+-| | Header | to keep | things together | |--+-+-| | ... | | | | | ... | | | | | ... | |--+-+-| I don't want to rip these apart into separate tables since that causes the different parts to all have different widths (both in the source and the export) and I really need these to line up and be just a single table. I guess that I could somehow manage to use the splicing of tables to get the HTML export done, but I'd have that problem again for each export backend. Also, this would interrupt the table in the source and make a formatting mess unless I'd define the column width for each of the table parts by hand (which is equally undesirable). So I'd like to have first-class cross headings, maybe like this: |--+---+-| | Header | some more | and more| |--+---+-| | item | stuff | things | | etc. | pp. | ad nauseam | |--+---+-| | Header | to keep | things together | |--+---+-| | | ... | | |--+---+-| So, the first heading would be determined by the first horizontal separator inside the table (for backwards compatibility) and any following heading would need get some special syntax (like the | above, but anything that doesn't collide with existing syntax will just be fine I think).

[Orgmode] Feature Request: Timestamp with repeater interval in Date range
Hello, I have a Feature Request: It would be really great if there was (an easy way) to define a Timestamp with repeating interval but only in a specific time range. For example I want to define a repeating event on every Tuesday between 2010-10-05 and 2011-01-27: 2010-10-05 Tue 09:15-11:00 +1w--2011-01-27 Thu This would be especially useful to manage dates for university courses.

If this option is already in there, then you're encouraged to tell me to RTFM. But then also please tell me where it is, because I can't find it. In the FAQ, you can find this: (setq org-special-ctrl-k t) before losing your work. It's a clever compromise, though I suspect it doesn't give as much protection as you want. Here's what it does. From the docstring: When t, the following will happen while the cursor is in the headline: - When the cursor is at the beginning of a headline, kill the entire line and possible the folded subtree below the line. - When in the middle of the headline text, kill the headline up to the tags. - When after the headline text, kill the tags.

Re: [Orgmode] [FEATURE REQUEST] Comment Speedkeys or - A solution to the Remember mode three finger salute
Hi Tim, you can set org-use-speed-commands to a function. When this function returns t, speed commands are active at that location. However, this will then make all speed keys active at that location, not only specific ones. Another, probably better, possibility to achieve what you want is to use org-remember-mode-hook to add text properties to the comment lines. Such text properties can define keymaps, see the section about Special Properties in the Emacs Lisp manual. In the same hook you could aslo change the text in the comment lines.

Re: [Orgmode] feature request: transpose a table

It is not trivial because Org first produces the images and inserts org-style links. Later, in a second step, these links are replaced (formatted for HTML). One way to solve this is that `org-format-latex' will add this information as text properties to the link. Then later, when the HTML formatting is done, the text property could be retrieved and converted into the attributes you are mentioning.

Re: [Orgmode] feature request: save LaTeX as title for ltxpng html images
Hi Eric, looks good to me, please go ahead and apply this patch. I would not have expected that this is such a compact change. The only improvement I can see would be to use org-add-props to put the properties on the link before inserting it and in this way shave off a let form.

[Orgmode] [feature request] use relative path in the file set by org-agenda-files
The variable org-agenda-files can be a list of file names or a single file name. I prefer the latter, since it is much easier to maintain one ordinary file without modifying the .emacs. So in my .emacs I just use: (setq org-agenda-files (expand-file-name agenda org-directory)) However, it seems that only absolute path works in that agenda file, e.g. - in /path/to/org-directory/agenda: /path/to/org-directory/home.org /path/to/org-directory/lab.org - Here I hope that I can use ./home.org and ./lab.org instead, so that when I copy the /path/to/org-directory/ to another place, I do not have to modify the agenda file at all. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Feature request: hide target brackets
Targets and radio targets are great for making sure internal links go to the right place in your org document. The problem with them, though, is that they clutter up the text, making it less readable. So, here's my feature request: Hide the target angle brackets in the same way that square brackets are hidden for hyperlinks. In other words, targets or radio targets should be displayed as targets and radio targets, where a unique font tells you that they are targets. The hidden angle brackets could be exposed by hitting delete when at the right side of the target (similar to how hidden hyperlink text is exposed now).

For now, I only have this dummy solution in my .emacs:
--8---cut here---start-8---
(eval-after-load org-latex

Export quotation marks depending on language conventions.

)
--8---cut here---end---8---
It's a static setup, just an altered clone of the code in org-latex.el.
I have not the skills to make a switch out of this. One has to add the
header \usepackage[babel]{csquotes}. So, an option has to make sure that
csquotes as well as babel is loaded with the correct language settings:
\usepackage[english,ngerman]{babel} in my case. If connected to babel,
csquotes will also take care to pick the correct quotation marks if the
language is switched in the midst of the document.

[Orgmode] Feature request: Prompt to remove deadline/scheduled dates
Its great that there is a log when the DEADLINE or SCHEDULED value changes for an entry. It would also be nice if you could remove the deadline or scheduled value using the same interface so it could be logged. For example, with scheduled I might decide to do a certain task next week, and schedule the task accordingly. Then, something changes and I'm now not going to do the task anytime soon. It shouldn't be scheduled and I don't want it to show up in the agenda anymore. It seems like adding an option to the date/time prompt to null out the value works, but is this the right approach? When you do this you end up with items with SCHEDULED: or DEADLINE: and no date after them.

Re: [Orgmode] Feature request: org-export-format-source-code-or-example and srcname
Hi
Hi,
when using the listings LaTeX package, it would be very useful if the
value of srcname was added to the output. For instance,
#+srcname: my_code_chunk
#+begin_src latex :results latex :exports code :tangle no
\usepackage{fontspec,xunicode,xltxtra}
#+end_src
would give:
\lstset{language=TeX}[caption={my\_code\_chunk}]
\begin{lstlisting}
\usepackage{fontspec,xunicode,xltxtra}
\end{lstlisting}
(note the added [caption={my\_code\_chunk}])
Cheers, Nicolas
Is there anyone besides Nicolas what would like to see the source name
in the exported listing?
Is that something that should be done in org-babel, or in the normal
export stuff?

Sure, but something like this might be even better still: dl class=²properties² dtFOO/dt ddblah/dd dtBAR/dt ddblah blah/dd /dl You don't need the extra div around the dl, since the dl itself is a block element. The extra div in this case is semantically null (and void!). The Definition list is basically a set of key/value pairs anyway, so having the extra classes property_key_foo don't make a whole lot of sense.

Re: [Orgmode] Feature request: Periodic events based on count of specific weekdays (was: Monthly events based on count of specific weekdays)
Hi Ben, extending the date format would be a significant amount of work. The current time/date format is already complex to handle internally, mainly because it was build not with a clean design but step by step. o I am hesitating to add something like you propose. My feeling is that date specifications like this are seldomly used, and as far as readability is concerned, for these few events you could just (as suggested by Matt) write a note explaining what the entry does.

[Orgmode] Feature Request: Priority Inheritance for sorting
Hi! I use priority cookies quite a lot to quickly sort my projects (really by importance, but the difference between importance and priority is a different matter). It would be neat if I could specify that if TODO items are sorted by priority, then the priority of the parent entry should be respected. (Or would that be possible by setting the default priority per tree? However changing an explicit property in a tree isn't as fast as changing a priority cookie.) I know there's property inheritance and PRIORITY is respected as a special property, but not for sorting by priority, as far as I know. (As always, I may have missed something here.)

Then I schedule a new date/time in the usual way. (Logging the change is probably a better idea though.) Have only been doing this about a month. In the future, I want to be able to look back at these events and see if there is any pattern to my misses. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
