Maybe Bernt has somehow modified his syntax tables so that newline is not whitespace?

There are a lot of places you could start on something like this; I think John Wiegley's PDF on how to use Git was mentioned yesterday, and that was pretty good. The great thing about Git is that you can either treat this like traditional source control, and set up a central repository somewhere that gets backed up, or you can just clone the one you maintain on your main computer to your server that gets backed up sometimes. In either place you have the complete history of your changes. For myself, I have a primary system that is live on the internet, so I can get my files from anywhere (with SSH, anyway). Then my main place to actually use the org files is on my laptop running Windows, and I do most things there and regularly push commits in just so I have the backup. Then I have my main computer at home, a Debian system, and when I'm at home that's often the place where I live with my org files. Git handles this stuff pretty straightforwardly. If I were to do it over again, though, I might not bother with the central one, assuming that I was getting regular backups with one of the other two main computers. Now my idea is this could agenda be made to read the subdirectories recursively and scan the files there in for todo's? Sorta, like a compile? Or could I have a single file that is simply a list of all the files to look into in order to create my agenda? For this you want to look at (info (org)Agenda files) for everything you need. You can certainly do the second one out of the box. I have it reading everything in the top level of my org directory, then I manually add things in the subdirectories, because sometimes I'm messing with something that I don't want in the ordinary agenda. You can manually add a file that you're in right now with C-c [ as you can see from the info link above.

Columns can be defined globally (as I did in my example) or for a subtree by setting :COLUMNS: property in root of folding tree. For more info see info page M-: (info (org) Properties and Columns) Personally I think it is cool to be able to view headings as columns although the alignment of the columns is not in a straight line when viewing over many subtrees. It is nice that org-columns preserves the tree view you have folded, so you can limit your columns view with tag searches. At the top of the columns table there is headlines and you can tell org to sum a column and have it displayed, sum times or numbers. Thats it as far as I know. How would you do calculations for calculated or derived data from the data points you do gather? (for example, I do lean body mass calculations based on a number of physical metrics I gather each day...) You can dump a org-columns view to a standard org-table with a dynamic block, then maybe apply some table formulas on it for more advanced use. I am not sure if the TABLEFM can be kept outside of the dblock?

[Orgmode] Does this happen to you? Aquamacs messes with you! (but I still like my Mac)
I normally use Aquamacs. It's very pretty, and uses the mouse without having to start an X server. But I'm starting to get a bit cheesed about all the things that don't work with org-mode (I have FINALLY got a fixed width font for the tab bar, so my column mode headings line up with the text in the buffer!!!) New problem: I have a very simple org mode buffer * TODO Mealplans ** Mealplan Fri If I go into column view and my cursor is the beginning of the file and I hit the down arrow, my cursor moves to the beginning of the next column (From the default column of ITEM to TODO). This happens everywhere, somewhat randomly. I switched to the command line version of emacs, and this didn't happen. My first thought was to check keyboard bindings. In emacs C-n and down map to next-line, but in Aquamacs they map to visual-line- down. If I toggle visual-line-mode, the problem goes away (under quick testing) My question for the list. 1) Does anyone use visual-line-mode with org? Use it and like, I mean. 2) How did this happen to me? Is this an Aquamacs default that I can customize back to 'normal'? I can't find visual-line-mode documented in the info pages for Emacs. 3) On my mode line, I have a (Org vl Fill). the 'vl' does not go away when I toggle visual-line-mode. What is that? Another irritant lurking? --- Ok, I let this email sit awhile (never click send when angry!) If anyone else is living with this, I have an answer for 2) and 3) 2) Answer: Aquamacs has a customization group 'Aquamacs Is More Than Emacs'. This will be my first stop for the next irritation . 3) Answer: That customization group has an option for 'global-visual- line-mode'. Toggle that and the 'vl' goes away. Just in case anyone is wondering (because of all my complaining), I should advertise that Mac OS is a great machine for emacs users. For example, I'm still using Apple's Mail program and many emacs key strokes work auto-magically. C-n and C-p work visually, and C-f and C- b work normally, and C-a and C-e work on logical lines. Even C-k and C-y just work inside of most of the UI textboxes. Strangely, killing a line means you can yank it, even into another window, but it's a different clipboard than cmd-C and cmd-V. Even C-t works. Alas, C-u C- f does NOT work. None of this seems documented, so I don't know what other easter eggs are lurking, but I don't get frustrated moving from my org-mode buffer into an Apple Mail window just because of the typing. Aquamacs does let transient mark mode with with the shift-mouse-click, and cmd-C lets me pull text out of Aquamacs and into Mail. I'd bet that many of you on a mac already know this because of how hard it is to NOT type a C-p when you want to go up!

It did not work at first because sometimes I have properties without
values, they then gets the empty string assigned, .
I had to adjust function org-read-prop because in my emacs (GNU Emacs
23.0.60.5):
(stringp ) - t
and
(string-to-number ) - 0
(string-to-number 0) - 0
and then at line 34 it tries to take substring out of .

[Orgmode] Org-mode idea?
Hello All, I am sort of new to org-mode; I have been using it for some time but since I am not a software engineer I am afraid I am not able to make use of all the capabilities nor do I fully understand them all... That said, in terms of life management; nothing even comes close to the power and utility of org-mode in my experience so I use it. I use org-mode for projects, exercise and fitness, and a daily task-diary. And I currently do this all in one big giant unwieldy file. I recently suffered a loss of data on my main computer. And as such I really want to get my data into a git repository and have that backed up regularly. (but I have been in management now for so long my developer tech skills have really suffered - and this stuff isn't as obvious as it once was...) I would also like to get the big file split out into many small files, so that they are easier to work with. I want to split this up into potentially dozens of files in different subdirectories in my org folder. The structure reflects my own mental outline of course. Now my idea is this could agenda be made to read the subdirectories recursively and scan the files there in for todo's? Sorta, like a compile? Or could I have a single file that is simply a list of all the files to look into in order to create my agenda?

Re: [Orgmode] modular block exportation was patch [Feature Addition] exporting comments on org files to html
Hi, This has had me thinking about the exportation of blocks in general. I think it makes sense to pull block exportation out into it's own component both for simplicity and for ease of code-reading, hacking, and customization. with a set of blocks of forms like... #+begin_html #+begin_src #+begin_comment #+begin_example etc... We could have an alist in which we look up the type of the block, and call the appropriate function to handle exportation. Users could then add their own custom block export functions to this list. The optional exportation of these blocks could then be controlled by a single #+option variable which takes a list of blocks not to export. For example #+OPTION hidden_blocks:comment,src I'd be interested to hear anyone's thoughts on this. If it sounds like a good idea I'd be happy to take a stab at implementation.

That said, in terms of life management; nothing even comes close to the power and utility of org-mode in my experience so I use it. Yep. +1 :) I use org-mode for projects, exercise and fitness, and a daily task-diary. And I currently do this all in one big giant unwieldy file. FWIW, I currently split it mainly into personal.org and my-current-employer.org. I recently suffered a loss of data on my main computer. And as such I really want to get my data into a git repository and have that backed up regularly. I also suffered a massive data loss last February and lost years of collected documentation, reports, scripts, email. I never want to have to be in same situations again So I dealt with this problem at various levels. 1. Human mistakes I have split all my major data into logically separate directories, turned each of them into separate git repositories (I have 10 main repos now) and set up .gitignore well. Managing more than a few repositories becomes tedious quicly so I resort to using Joey Hess' mr [1]. Also I tend to be very easily distracted and forget to commit changes even I should have; so a shell script is fired (by a batch script which is called by Windows Scheduler) every hour that commits latest changes to the repo (with a default commit message with timestamp.) I suspect git is probably not meant to be used this way but it helps in my case and I do not have to remember anything. Committing when you want to is still possible anyways (using command line or magit or dvc or emacs-git or..) 2. Loss of hardware Once the script is done committing, it checks if my home desktop computer is available (when on home network not on VPN) and then rsyncs the data (approx. 15 GB of it) to a RAID 1 mirrored pair of drives (this also happens every hour.) 3. Reinstallations/setup in case of hardware loss I try to use portable applications [2] where possible and also install Cygwin [3], Windows native Emacs, Org mode, Freemind, R etc. in a single directory tree so that I can just copy the directory tree from my desktop to a new machine quite easily. Do let me know if you want further explanation of or to look into any part of the setup. HTH, -- Manish 1. http://joey.kitenet.net/code/mr/ 2. http://portableapps.com/ 3. On a new computer, you would need to setup mount points and PATH, of course. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Including state-changed headings in the agenda

Turning on log mode will only display CLOSED items, but since the above task is not closed, it doesn't show up. This is now possible. To do it just for a single view, press `C-u l' instead of `l' in the daily/weekly agenda. If you like what you see and want this always to be present when you turn on log mode, customize the variable `org-agenda-log-mode-items'. Now, if you finish only ones task during a day, but with several state changes, you can feel very productive already :-) HTH Yes, it does help! I tested this using the development version, and things work just as described. I now have org-agenda-log-mode-items configured to (closed state).

I tried column mode but it is far too slow for 300 headings and the calculations possible is only sums but I need much more. Hi Mikael, I ran into a very similar issue with column view lately while trying to use org-mode to collect experimental results. I created the attached file, which can be used to collect data from properties in a manner similar to column view, but using a simpler method meant only for table display, rather than column viewing, and allowing for the application of general elisp to the values before they are dumped into the table. I think it would work in your case as well. I applied it to the data you posted with the following results. The mechanics are working, but it could use some display cleaning.
