Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode Hi all, I found the problem. I used org-agenda-directory instead of org-agenda-files. Not recognising that this variable doesn't seem to exist (did it ever exist?) I assumed I can use it to indicate the org files folder. With org-agenda-files everything works perfectly. I now have about 48 custom commands (partly of course hierarchical) and with dynamically changing the set of org files I really feel I have control over my todos! I am very happy with org!

Richard Riley wrote: I thought some of you linux users might like this - use gnome-osd-client to put an on screen reminder of your looming appointments. In a similar vein, I've coded something for Windows. It's an interactive function currently called my-org-update-desktop-from-agenda. It takes the current week's agenda view and sets it as the desktop's wallpaper. Not an alert, but it keeps your workload forever in front of you. It needs a couple of functions defined in .emacs and a windows executable (90KB) that I've written which updates the desktop wallpaper from an html file. The wallpaper will look exactly the same as the agenda view you'd normally see within org-mode. It's trivial to adjust one of the functions if you prefer more/fewer days than 7 displayed. Only tested on the setup quoted in sig. Anyone who'd like a bundled copy of the required bits, just drop me an email: chris[at]amlog[dot]co[dot]uk.

[Orgmode] Possible bug in task breakdown recounting, narrowing problem from agenda or sparse tree?
In an org file that looks like this: #+STARTUP: odd #+STARTUP: hidestars #+TAGS: :meta:test: #+CATEGORY: Test * PROJECT [0/5] Made up of several todo's *** TODO first *** TODO second *** TODO third *** TODO fourth *** TODO fifth And with my todo keywords looking like this: (setq org-todo-keywords '( (sequence INBOX(i) TICKLER(t!) | FILE(f@) CANCELED(k@)) (sequence TODO WAITING VERIFY | DONE REASSIGNED) (sequence DAILY(d!) | DONEDLY UNSCHEDDLY(D@)) (sequence WEEKLY(e!) | DONEWKLY UNSCHEDWKLY(E@)) (sequence MONTHLY(m!) | DONEMNTHLY UNSCHEDMNTHLY(M@)) (sequence APPT RESCHEDULE(s@) | APPTPAST APPTCANCELED(n@)) (sequence REQUEST(r!) REQWAITING(w@/!) REQVERIFY(v) | REQCLOSED(c!) REQREASSIGNED(a@)) (sequence PROJECT(P!) PROJWAITING(W@/!) PROJVERIFY(V) | PROJCLOSED(C!) PROJREASSIGNED(A@)) )) According to (info (org)Breaking down tasks) marking one of these as one of the DONE states (in this sequence it would be either DONE or REASSIGNED) should change the PROJECT breakdown to [1/5]. If I am in the buffer with that org file, it's completely unfolded, and I do it, that's the effect I get. However, if: (a) the outline of that project is partially or completely folded to begin with, and (b) I change the TODO to DONE in the Agenda buffer, it seems to narrow around that TODO item, and the breakdown becomes [0/1] or some smaller number than the actual number of subtasks under the project. I just tried it with a sparse tree that only unfolded to display the third TODO item, and the same thing happened, so I guess it's probably something to do with the way the sparse tree works with folding. I'm running org-mode 6.07b downloaded from the website.

[Orgmode] font lock mode can't get to work
I am using emacs/org mode 6.07b on linux (ubuntu Hardy) and am having a problem with the font lock mode. adding -*- mode: org; -*- to the file itself works fine, but simply loading a test.org file doesn't activate org mode.
