Re: [O] Links sorting and exporting.
Bastien, What I am thinking is of a way to save a web bookmark in a file or two and then based on meta-tag have them exported into a html file. In other words, if I have a file with bookmarks that has tags: apple, fruit, orange, dog, horse, pet, animal, etc then it would create a html page named for the tag and any bookmark that has that tag would be present in it. The last piece would be to generate a front page that would have a relative link to those pages. This would be a way of publishing links for others in my group to use.

[O] Links sorting and exporting.
I have conceived of an idea that I want to build into the ORG framework. The problem I am trying to solve: I have a variety of links that I use on a regular basis. I am wanting to be able to invoke a link generation command that will store them in a bookmarks.org file (or it could be a user defined file). However, searching them isn't always easy and I want to be able to publish them as a resource for a group of users. I can search them easy enough in org but others can't. Idea I have: It would be interesting to have org, or maybe it would have to be an external function, that would go through a file or set of files(user defined list?) (work, group @ work, home) and generate a main bookmark page (in the example, one for work, one for group @ work, and one for home) that links to a file that is named for that tag and contains an html file of each link that contains that tag. This could cause some things too appear in more than one file, for example, something might appear in CIFS and performance but it's related to each topic. This could be manually triggered or scheduled for updating and publishing out to a web server. I am thinking that we would have a user defined file list in the configuration, would need to go find all the unique tags in each file and make the launch page for each file by generating relative links to the sub pages, the collect the list of links for each tag generating the sub page. Thinking it would be best to generate these in .org format and then publish them out in html to a user defined location. Thoughts on this? Is this already done? I know some parts of it are already present and I just need to make glue for those parts. I think the part that will need to be constructed outside of the glue is the sorting and generation of separate files
[O] [MobileOrg] Thought about sync with [Gcal] for orgmode and mobileorg
This could probably also work without the mobile element and might be easier to develop the initial part if it is a solid design. I just have to get this out of my head so I can focus on school and work without worrying about forgetting the idea. I also wanted to get some feedback to see what people think. I know it isn't the most elegant idea but it might work. I do know it has to have a few problems but I thought I would throw it out. So, now that I have an android tablet using mobileorg and wanting to use org-mode on the desktop I have run into a problem. My spouse is not at the technical level to work with me on this. I know I can use orgmode to organize my tasks and leave emacs running at home to do pushes and pulls and sort things via tags once it gets to the home machine. The problem comes at the calendar level. At this point I have finally gotten my wife to use google calendar so that she can see what I am doing and she pushes her items into google calendar so we can plan easier. So, here is my thought -- I have an android tablet, I am okay with putting my calendar data in google calendar and I can schedule pulls via emacs out of google calendar into org-mode and then as long as I have my sync set up correctly, when I look at my org-mobile agenda, my calendar is populated with my stuff and my wife's stuff and eventually some of my children's stuff. What I am wondering, if I can set up the google calendar api correctly. Could I, pull down the google calendar (2 months of data or some other arbitrary common sense timeframe), pull from org-mobile. The google file would be converted to org and have all the org data from 2 months forward (or after whatever time period we pulled from google EDIT*** Actually would need to download all data from current time forward due to possible data loss*ENDEDIT***) put on the end. These two files would be two branches of the same git repository and then merged (any added google data from the time period pulled and any added org data) into one file that would make up the calendar part of the org agenda. This would then be pushed back to mobileorg and then the first two months of the google calendar being synced with would be deleted and an ics from the org data would be re-uploaded with the name of the google calendar on it. The git repo would track all changes, so you wouldn't have to worry about losing data and I imagine any changes could be sent to an email or added to an orgfile as an archive -- also, any conflicts in the git merge (could we retain both sides of the data if conflicting changes occured) could be emailed and/or set as a task for resolution in org before repushing to mobile. I imagine this could be scripted to run at different intervals during different day periods. Just trying to get some feedback and make a note of the thought before I return to my work and school projects.

Re: [O] Orgmode performance problem and "solution"
Yes, after the pull, cleaning, then making would have to be done. I believe everyone wass aware of that but the concern here was how to switch grom a lagging repo to the more up to date repo for the pull.

Re: [O] Hiding "future" tasks in tags-todo agenda view
Neilen,
One of my favorite agenda custom commands is the following:
---snipstart--snip--
(("s" "Startup View" ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-ndays 3)
(org-deadline-warning-days 1))) (agenda ""((org-agenda-time-grid nil)
(org-deadline-warning-days 365) (org-agenda-entry-types (quote
(:deadline))) (org-agenda-skip-entry-if (quote
scheduled)) (org-agenda-ndays 1) (org-agenda-overriding-header
"Unscheduled upcoming deadlines:"))) (todo ""
(quote(org-agenda-overriding-header "Unscheduled No Deadline TODO:
"))
---snipend--snip--
(org-agenda-ndays 3) gives me a 3 day calendar for this view
(org-deadline-warning-days 1) gives me a 1 day warning for deadlines
(you should be able to set it to 0 to get just today). Also, if you
set a custom deadline warning on the individual task it overrides the
1 day.
I also use a seperate section to show all my unscheduled TODO items
down below so they are in a separate area but on the same agenda.
If you had a custom command set to 0 and then added
cut-
(todo "" (quote(org-agenda-overriding-header "Unscheduled No Deadline
TODO: ")))
-cut-
it would give you a second section that has all your unscheduled TODO
items at the bottom (at least it does for me in the agenda I have)
Hope this helps.

Re: [O] Recursive org-agenda-files
My understanding is that you want a file that gets moved into the
active directory to be automatically included in the agenda?
>From worg:
You can simply include the directory (as one of the items) in the
value of the variable org-agenda-files:
(setq org-agenda-files '("/my/special/path/org/active/"))
There is another way of accomplishing the same end:
(setq org-agenda-files (file-expand-wildcards
"/my/special/path/org/active/*.org"))
The other files/directories could be in the extended text search if
needed but not part of the automatic agenda. Just my two cents. Not
that playing with agenda hooks might have some advantages.

Re: [O] Not merging org-lparse, org-xhtml & org-odt to the core
To all, I would just like to, at this point, say that I am honored to have read this discussion. I was very worried that a major blowout was going to occur but you have shown me something that I appreciate about OSS, it not only attempts to make the world better through Freedom but it makes us better as we work together across divides. Hopefully I will be able to become more active, I just finished making the web version of Practical Common Lisp into an e-book to sit on my Nook for me to peruse and study as I continue working on some of my DEV ideas. Thank you to all of you and I am glad that org-odt is still here and everyone involved is as well. --- Matthew
Re: [O] [DEV] Org-Startup.el concept
Bastien and the group,
I am thinking that to successfully pull this off I am going to have to
do two separate files for what I am wanting to do. One that will be
called in .emacs through load that will load the custom agenda view.
So, my question is, I have my custom agenda command in a .el file that
I call from .emacs like this :
start code-start code---
(load "Org-Startup-Agenda-Views")
end code -- end code --
I should be able to in the Org-Startup-Agenda-Views.el have a command
that appends/cons/adds to the custom agenda views so that the agenda
views I want are available (at first going to be one but I think this
will expand to more than one) to be called for the startup view that
gets called after this.
I am thinking this will go at the end of a .emacs file and then call
the function to open the selected view (variables already set for it
in configuration (remember this is for beginners who use the GUI to
make it easy to customize out of the box)) for the startup with the
agenda in it.
Also, what will happen if I run the command to append the custom
agenda views and none have been defined?
Thanks,

[O] [DEV]
Hello all,
I have decided to work on a startup dot el package geared around
orgmode. I want to get it up to a basic functionality before I allow
it to be distributed and I know I still have some work to do to get it
to that point.
My first goal is have a file open on either the left or the right and
a somewhat customizable agenda buffer on the other side. What I am
trying to accomplish is the providing of a easy to use interface for
beginners in org-mode to get started and use it for task/project
management.
The agenda view will be a user definable number of days calendar with
a user defined number of days in the future view of upcoming deadlines
or just unscheduled deadlines (a choice between the two may have to be
implemented in the future as my skills grow and more contribute?) and
at the bottom we would find TODO keywords (maybe I need to change this
to != all not done keywords in the future) that are not scheduled and
do not have a deadline on them (kind of a someday/sometime todos).
What I am needing to know is about adding an agenda view via a .el
file to the custom agenda views. Could I do that, something like
this:
-Cut here---start code---cut here---start code-
(add-to-list
'(org-agenda-custom-commands
(quote
(
("s" "Startup View"
--Cut Here---end codecut hereend code
When I get my basic idea for the package outlined a little more I will
ask for some help with testing on it at the github I have setup.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions/support and feedback.

Re: [O] New backend for org-agenda: (Was Calendar-like view of the org-agenda)

[O] [HELP} trying to figure out how to figure out?
I just pulled and upon making noticed several compiler errors. None of them appear to be fatal but as I am learning elisp it might be helpful for me to be able to see what is being done (and also for maybe me to be able to learn what is being worked on so I can test it?) and then maybe I can also help more with patches and I think possibly I am going to try to design an org-startup.el file and I really want to try to learn before I just jump blindly into that project. So, can someone email me (on or off list) some commands that would be helpful (I think bisect, maybe) or a website to reference to learn the commands to start digging into those situations? I don't know what has changed each time I do a git pull and I don't know if that is the best time to look for it either?

Re: [O] [Use Question] Capture and long lines
I can refile into the longlines format buffer and it looks fine until
I close and reopen the buffer, then it is all drawn out into one long
line, the headline instead of broken up. One other behavior I have
noticed is that when I change state it generates the logbook and
changes the state but then changes it from
:LOGBOOK:
- state changed from etc
:END:
to all being in one long line like
:LOGBOOK - state changed from etc :END: . . .
I have attatched a sample buffer with some sample TODO's refiled in
from capture and the capture templates out of my .emacs in it as well.

[O] [Feature Functionality Question]
I am using a file variable to invoke Longlines mode for a particular file that I am using for editing college papers (it's an experiment to help me get formats of papers a certain way). The structure is and under visual wrap it looks like this folded: * Assignments. . . * Class Calendar . . . * Notes . . . * Papers . . When I add the file variable to invoke Longlines it does the following: * Assignments¶ . . .¶ * Class Calendar ¶ . . . ¶ * Notes ¶ . . .¶ * Papers ¶ . . .¶ I think what it is doing is seeing the Hard line at the end of the headline and putting the . . . to show a folded headline on the next line and then the final ¶ after the . . . is the one at the end of the underlying data that is folded up? Anyone know of something I am missing to get it to look more like: *Assignments . . . ¶ * Class Calendar . . .¶ * Notes . . . ¶ * Papers . . .¶ It is somewhat an aesthetics issue but I didn't know if I am missing a switch in fill, longlines or file structure that I can play with to get a prettier look for the file?

Re: [O] Cloning tasks subtrees when repeating?
Have you looked into: C-c C-x c (org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift) Clone a subtree by making a number of sibling copies of it. You will be prompted for the number of copies to make, and you can also specify if any timestamps in the entry should be shifted. This can be useful, for example, to create a number of tasks related to a series of lectures to prepare. For more details, see the docstring of the command org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift. Your usecase may need some modification or adding this to a custom function for it to work.

Re: [O] Begginer using orgmode
do you have your section of .emacs or site file customizations that you used to set it up with? also what version of Ogmode and emacs?

Re: [O] My new favorite custom agenda command
However, now looking at it, maybe my top agenda calendar should skip
deadlines or just have todays since I have a larger list below. Hmm,
going to have to think about this some more but I am really liking
this start.

[O] My new favorite custom agenda command
I have been working on learning and playing with some lisp and looking
through the amazing powerfulness of orgmode. This is my new favorite
agenda command. I use it as the right hand side of my startup buffers
(I have two). On the left I have my refile.org file (the "I am not
sure where I am putting this item but I need a container for it") that
is a temporary storage buffer I need to try to keep empty except for
my refile headlines and a dynamic block showing recently updated
files. On the right is the following calendar, gives me a good
overview. Of course for some users the deadline warning days might
need to be smaller for unscheduled deadlines.
Thanks for all the help and good ideas I have seen flowing through the
list that has helped me get to where I can start hacking orgmode to be
what I want/need it to be.

Re: [O] create new files from capture
Could one not have it go into a temporary file and then have an exit hook attatched to a particular template that if a particular property had been filled in that it would create a new file with that name and either refile to or cut to and then paste from the kill ring?

[O] Extracting information with Agenda functions
I am trying to create a dynamic block on a page that will contain the information and/or functionality of C-c a t The agenda todo list. I have that setup to pull all unscheduled todo's. Does anyone know if it possible to replicate the agenda inside a dynamic block on a page or a way that I could pull this information and put it inside a dynamic block? Matthew
Re: [O] Re: [Orgmode] Startup page
Sorry, at times I forget about this when I use webmail (When I am at school that is the only option due to wi-fi restrictions of the university). Hope this is better. Here is what I have landed on so far, it works great: ---clip herecurrently in .emacs (defun org-dblock-write:recently-modified (params) ;Credit to Ido Magal for this function (insert (mapconcat (lambda (arg) (concat "[[file:" arg "][" arg "]]" )) (split-string (shell-command-to-string "ls -t /cygdrive/c/Dropbox/org *.org | head -10")) "\n"))) (let ((org-agenda-window-setup 'current-window));Thanks Nick, let me eliminate the delete (org-agenda nil "a")) (split-window-horizontally) (find-file "/cygdrive/c/Dropbox/Org/Refile.org") -clip here currently in .emacs Below is the basic Refile.org file, some of my captures will fall directly into here unless I refile them out to a specific place, it's a land of things that need dealt with but I just did a quick capture. Now I just need to work out a fun for the Unscheduled todo block and I will have everything how I want it, well for now anyway. I may also add some links or a reminder, and eventually a random quote of the day in a dynamic block from an RSS feed I pull, hmmm, maybe I should pull the last 5 from one or two of the feeds into this block from the feeds.org. This is kind of becoming an aggregator set of buffers.

Sigh, at times it's the small things that you miss that bite you in the foot.

On the tother I will have recently modified files on the other, needing filed captures and Unscheduled TODO items. Thanks for all the help everyone has thrown my way.

Re: [O] Re: [Orgmode] Startup page
No, that still gives me the scratch buffer over the top and the the two windows I want down below. When I had the startup page activated it would override one of the two buffers that I had selected but for some reason the scratch buffer is dividing the screen horizontally and place itself over the top of the two buffers I open at the end of .emacs Going to have to look at some of the emacs documentation. What I am trying to create is a bit of elisp magic that will open the agenda on the right buffer and my refile.org (with everything I have captured that needs sent to a home and some dblocks with recently opened items and maybe another one with my unscheduled todo's.

Re: [O] Re: [Orgmode] Startup page
Okay, so I have been working on some ideas for a customization file for startup, an org-agenda, recently modified and maybe unscheduled todo's . . accessible via a function key and at startup. Kind of a "home screen". I have it working fine when I run the code but my problem is that when I have it run in .emacs on startup it comes up (agenda on the right and my other chosen buffer on the left (last code in my .emacs to be run) and then the screen is split horizontal and the scratch buffer opens on the top. For me this isn't the desired behavior, didn't know if anyone knew how to turn off emacs opening into a file or if I should move this code to another location because emacs is running something to open that after it goes through .emacs??? or is that just a behavior that is going to occur?

[O] Elisp Primer?
I am wanting to learn about/have a reference guide for elisp. I am a huge fan of the O'Reilly books for the other languages I have worked with but I was wondering if someone knew of an online repository (possibly like Worg) that might be available to pull onto my system that I could read right in emacs. Thanks, Matt
Re: [O] Org expert mode?
So maybe different custom functions that are developed to allow people to use ORG in different ways. Some with more help for basic features, some for GTD, some for publishing, some for advanced features or programming.

[O] [Use ?] Capture and Refile behavior
I have a capture template set to file to refile.org (my default container for TODO tasks, notes (private, work, journal, blog) or other things. That way I can file them out to the right spot later . . especially if I don't have the file or location setup or am not sure which location I am going to handle that item under. However, at times I use C-c C-w and refile them directly to the location I want them . . . Capture worked different than I am used to remember working. So, I used C-c c last night to put a TODO in my agenda for my english homework * TODO English Reading Assignments:ENGL101: ** TODO Reading assignment 1 DEADLINE:<2011-03-14 19:05> ** TODO Reading assignment 2 DEADLINE:<2011-03-14 19:05> ** TODO Reding assignment 3 DEADLINE:<2011-03-14 19:05> When I type C-c C-w to refile it into Homework (engl101.org) it files ** TODO Reding assignment 3 DEADLINE:<2011-03-14 19:05> the last assignement, to the right location but the * TODO English Reading Assignments:ENGL101: ** TODO Reading assignment 1 DEADLINE:<2011-03-14 19:05> ** TODO Reading assignment 2 DEADLINE:<2011-03-14 19:05> goes into the refile.org (the default target for the capture template) In other words, it is only sending, like it is reading from the bottom up until it hits a headline and then refiling that part but throwing the rest to the default? Odd behavior as at times I will catch assignments and make multiple TODO's (same headline level or lower) in a remember and now that I am on capture unless I have a TODO for each bucket their isn't a way to pick the destination.. Or at times I use it for class notes and make a hiearchy out of that and have the heiarchy it refiled in a date-tree. Thoughts? or am I just goofing something up? Matt
Re: [O] Bug: Org-Contacts.el [7.4]
Nick was gracious enough to help me dig through a few things with my .emacs . . . it appears I had been able to update the emacs lisp in lispdir = $ usr/share/emacs/23.2/lisp/org once so that I was running 7.4 but that wasn't getting updated when I did pulls (need to look into that once) so, I just had to change my .emacs and add a load path to /org-mode/elisp so that it would find everything I was updating (I go into /org-mode to run : git pull && make clean && make && make install && make doc oh, and if anyone has experience on getting make doc to work on cygwin (texi2dvi) it would be appreciated as I haven't quite got that to work right. Thanks to all on the list, especially Nick for the help, it works great now . . .now to get google weather to work the way I want it to.

Re: [O] Bug: Org-Contacts.el [7.4]
I am aware of the issue of emacs (that comes with cygwin) coming with I
think it was org 6.3 and I have already (prior to this) cloned a branch,
made my own branch so I could modify the makefile to have the org files land
in the correct location to load (it kept loading 6.3 and not 7.4). I double
checked (org-version) and I am definitely on 7.4 (when I was on 6.3 I had to
use remember as Capture wasn't in the release? and now I have switched over
to capture now and love it). I do regular pulls from the git as explained
in the instructions (part of me is loving working in/on a growing updating
project).
It is loading from the correct spot and I opened the .el version of the .elc
and it says 7.4 and if I load the .el or the .elc org-version shows 7.4.
I know about needing to clean up the emacs, I originally started using
org-mode from an episode of FLOSS weekly and didn't come to orgmode.org,
worg or this mailing list as my first stop to learn how to update my .emacs
and make things work. I am going to work on it some more and make sure I
have tidied up everything I need to do and then I am going to try reloading
org-contacts, I think I have something floating around somewhere that is
keeping me from loading it correctly.
Thanks for the feedback and hopefully I can get this knocked out, I am
trying to migrate more and more of my stuff to working in emacs as it and
org-mode speak to the way my brain functions. Hopefully, I will have an
update soon as it still doesn't work but I want to weed through my .emacs
before re-submitting everything. However, if anyone reads through my .emacs
and sees an error or something I should look at, I would greatly appreciate
it. You guys are amazing, hopefully in a few months I can start
contributing more to this project.

Re: [O] Bug: Org-Contacts.el [7.4]
Should I be able to find org-property-set-functions-alist listed in org.el?
Because I don't, maybe I have an issue, it says 7.4 in the comments at the
top of the file but I am not finding that phrase anywhere in the file, maybe
I do have an pull, update or patch issue I need to look into?

Re: [O] org google weather
Thanks that worked, as I said Noob, somethings get the quote and some don't. Now if I can just get org-contacts to load correctly, void variable value, life will be great.

Re: [O] org google weather
Konrad, Being an elisp noob I had forgotten about the provide code in the .el file. That fixed that problem, THANK YOU so much. Now if I can figure out why I have to M-x load-library RET google-weather RET M-x load-library RET org-google-weather RET to get google weather to work with my agenda (though I am debating on leaving it this way and having a function load these two files as I am not always internet connected and it is annoying to wait for the network connection attempt to timeout 4 times for each day it attempts to retrieve the weather or maybe I should look and see if I can patch it to make it skip the other attempts if the first fails? but then I need to figure out how to get them to load automatically). I should just need to use the code in my dot emacs '(require 'google-weather) '(require 'org-google-weather) for it to work but that doesn't seem to do the trick, maybe i need to look in the code in those .el files. Bastien, to your question, I am trying to set some functions in other .el files so that I can break up differnt parts of code for the different parts of my .emacs file intsead of just adding more and more code.

Re: [O] org google weather
I put the diary-sunset and diary-sunrise functions in a file called sunrisesunset.el in my elisp directory, it is part of my load path and put '(require 'sunrisesunset) in my .emacs It only loads if I type M-x load-library RET sunrisesunset RET I am not sure why it isn't automatically loading like other files I have set the same way, the same holds true for org-google-weather, I ran the git, have it in my home directory and have it set up for require in my dotemacs but i still have to M-x load-library RET org-google-weather RET to get it to work in my agenda. I am running on cygwin with emacs 23.2 and with Org 7.4 (updated to make sure), I ended up putting the diary-sunrise and diary-sunset functions in my dot emacs and they work just fine but putting the contents of different .el files in my dotemacs file isn't a good long term solution. Any suggestions as to what I might look at or for? Matthew S
[Orgmode] Re: Org-Remember C-1 C-c C-c
Yes, I was using remember as when I first started using orgmode I didn't have capture because emacs 23.2 in cygwin came with a series 6 version of org. Now that I have upgraded to the main development version I realized I can switch to capture, which I have and I LOVE much better, it has solved many of the problems I was having. The problem I was getting when I was pressing C-1 still exists but I believe is due to incorrect mapping of Mintty/Cygwin (I am running on XP on the laptop) as it works correctly in the windows version of emacs I have installed. (it also has issues with C-3 and other C-number combinations but that is a function of Mintty I believe.

Re: [Orgmode] Splitting mailing list
I think that if it was kept as a single list the use of tags could allow (as long as people respect the tags) to filter and read only the types of threads they want to use. If we split the lists I would tag both with the same tag in my gmail box and read them all together, so it wouldn't really appear to be any different for me other than the people only reading dev tags or on the dev channel wouldn't see the user discussions.

Re: [Orgmode] Splitting mailing list
Even though I am not much into development I enjoy reading them as they are teaching me about how this works and hopefully I can move to doing DEV further down the road. Even if we had two lists I would just add a filter tag like I do now and sort them all into the same tag (well, maybe, maybe not). Maybe the DEV channel should be something that you are invited to join with send access but anyone could have read access too. If a question in the user channel fit the bill it could be resent or re-proposed into the DEV channel? Maybe that's too constricted for open development? I agree, two channels so you can get what you want but they need to have reference to each other and at least a few people on both.

[Orgmode] Startup page
As a relatively newer emacs and org-mode user I have found it very interesting to see what people have in their .emacs file. This has spawned my curiosity, what do you have for a startup page? Do you just have it go to the scratch buffer, the standard page or something else? Maybe a custom designed page with links or something else? Might be something interesting to share on worg as well if you have a unique start page for emacs. Just a thought/curiosity as I am working on designing one for my emacs for my use as a student/father/employee.

[Orgmode] Org-Remember C-1 C-c C-c
Whenever I use Remember to shoot a note to a specific location I press C-1 and get the following error: M-[ 1 ; 5 q is undefined I changed my .emacs to make the default refiling and C-1 C-c C-c is now the template location specified. At times I would still like to use the C-1 C-c C-c behavior. I thought about setting a 1 press function key binding but I haven't been able to determine what function is called (either direction depending on the setup I have in my .emacs) and I haven't been able to figure out what is causing the error when i press C-1 (it happens whenever I press the key combo). I am using cygwin in mintty, with emacs and orgmode 7.4 (I pull off the git every few days, don't remember which exact commit I have). GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2010-10-01 This happened even before I upgraded from the version of orgmode that comes with emacs 23.2.1 I am just not sure which direction to go to find the problem and I know how to work around it by calling the correct function and/or binding it to a key. Any input is most appreciated as the more college classes I take the more class files I have to file into.

Re: [Orgmode] question about capture templates
Correction , it is C-1 C-c C-c to go to the default location. C-u C-c C-c goes into the interactive mode and then visits the location stored.

Re: [Orgmode] question about capture templates
I use remember and I set the org-remember-interactive-interface variable to refile. Now if I C-c it prompts me for my refile location I want to send the item to land at. If I C-u C-c C-c it goes to the default listed in the capture template. Handy since I have one TODO template but it could land in one of four files, one Homework Template for school and two files (taking two classes) that it could land in. Especially handy since I can't seem to have more than 5 remember templates causing it to become more about style of capture going to any destination I choose than style and destination for the templates. Oh, and I made my default destination a Refile bucket that then has to be sorted to the appropriate location.

Re: [Orgmode] Sending TODO items automatically to a specified email address
What format of an attachment would you want to be hooked to the e-mail (html, xml, txt, pdf)? I think that once you figure that out, write the function to generate that the rest is downhill. I have just started using GNUS but I imagine it or one of the email programs in emacs or through a python script an email could easily be sent.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Something like SETUPFILE, but in .emacs?
Question, would something like the following work?
For .emacs
---start of .emacs
--snip---snip---snip---
(setq load-path (append '("/home/usr/emacs/load/") load-path))
(setq load-path (append '("/home/usr/emacs") load-path))
(load "export-setup" nil t ) ; Org-Export settings

Re: [Orgmode] Something like SETUPFILE, but in .emacs?
First time poster as well. Clarification. You are wanting to have these
options only inflict themselve on .org files? I am wondering if they could
be in .emacs or called from .emacs or auto inserted, or maybe like the text
export options are via a shortcut command? I think I might want a generic
set insertable into a new .org file when I make it via a C-c command if I
want it in but not necessarily automatically. That way I have to think
about it and just want something vanilla (if I am writing a book for
instance and not just a project list?) or can customize for a particular
file since I am thnking of it?
