Re: [Orgmode] Announcing my Python module to read org-mode files
Over the last couple of months I have developed a Python module to read an org-mode file and return the nodes as a list of objects. The module is the basis of a Python/TK GUI program to display a Word of the Day (another article will be published about this program soon). I hope the module is of interest to Python programmers! Charles, That looks very interesting. Amongst other uses it opens the way to produce customized Web pages via mod_python, which in some circumstances would be easier than tweaking the current org export function. I have been experimenting with producing html exported pages optimized for my Nokia N95. At the moment I detect the browser string and then apply a different style sheet for the mobile version. However, this does have limitations, apart from those arising from my lack of css skills. Using mod_python I can produce completely different output depending on the detected browser.

[Orgmode] visiting org-remember template target files
I've come to rely on org-remember for many daily purposes. In order to be able to readily access the target files, I've kept a set of links in a separate file---an index, as it were. I would find it extremely useful to have a way to access these files as needed in the same familiar way I access the template. The obvious solution would be, perhaps, a \C-u prefix to the org-remember command I now have mapped to C-c r. However, it would be quite nice to always have an option when calling org-remember to just visit the file without adding anything to it. I imagine this would be quite some work, but I throw it up as a suggestion. If nothing else, I will set up another set of templates on a different key, to just visit the same files with, let us say, C-c 5. Org-remember is extremely useful. This would make it even more so.

Hi Carsten and all,
it's been one year now that I stopped actively contributing to Org,

I didn't stop using it, of course. Here is a lng list of
questions
and suggestions I have. I tested them over a fresh Org and Emacs,
both
pulled from their repos this morning.
I apologize if most of this has already been mentionned in
discussions I
missed - I digged the mailing list a bit but I didn't check
thoroughly.
Thanks!
- BUG: When export a descriptive list to ASCII, replace the :
separator by a single :.m
Fixed. I am also removing the list bullet for this case.
- BUG: Switch to a state requiring an annotation, cancel the
annotation,
there will be an empty :LOGBOOK: drawer. Remove it?
Yes. done.
- BUG: When picking up a date with `org-time-stamp', up and down
will
browse the minibuffer history. I think it does not make sense here.
This has now its own history list.
- BUG/FR: When building completion list for refiling, don't include
the
very entry we are trying to refile.
This is a bit hard, and Org will throw a good error if you try.
- BUG: In agenda mode, C-e goes to the [last-1] char of the line.
(Note
that this is not visible when the entries finishes with a link.)
It does because I want to avoid problems with the overlay keymaps
and stuff like this. Why is it a problem?
- BUG: Weird result of C-c * when used before the first heading.
Fixed.
- BUG: Properties inserting in a remember buffer are not indented
correctly when the remember note goes to its target. For example:
* My remember note
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 10
:END:
Is refiled to the Notes entries:
* Notes
** My remember note
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 10
:END:
... but the drawer does not align with the stars.
It is for me. The reason why the indentation adaptation does not work
it probably because you have lines that are not indented at all in the
note as well. This will inhibit org-adapt-indentation when pasting
a subtree. Only if all lines are indented at least one space, then
indentation will be adapted during pasting.
- BUG?: When deleting an attachment, the :ID: property is not itself
deleted. Not sure if it's wrong, but it's weird.
The ID property is something independent of the attachment, how
could Org know that you do not need it for different purposes?
- FR: In addition to the {+} {:} facilities for dynamically
computing a
property's value, have a way to use a calc or a tbl formula?
Additionnally, have a _DEFAULT suffix to define defaults.
There was a patch recently on the mailing list, subject elisp
formulas.
- FR: A function to display the link the cursor is on (the same way
the
mouse displays a small popup.) This function would particularily be
useful in the agenda view.
C-c C-l LOOK RET RET :-)
Hard to find new key bindings for these.
TODO
- FR: C-c C-l in agenda view to edit link at point? (Or is this
producing to much overlap between org-agenda and the normal org
editing mode?)
- FR: Highlight the currently clocked-in task in agenda-mode?
Good one.
TODO
- FR: When selecting an attachment, if there is already a directory
defined for this the current entry, then use this directory as the
default directory for browsing and select the attachment.
You mean if there is an attachment directory defined?
What do you mean by when selecting and attachment?
- FR: All numeric values within brackets are highlighted. Since this
type of footnotes is now discouraged, I think it make sense not to
highlight those values (having digits in square brackets is not so
rare.)
I guess we should have an option to disable these as footnote markers,
yes.
TODO
- FR: When refiling to a non-existent entry, create this entry on the
fly?
This has been requested frequently - I am not sure if I can do this
with all the different completion interfaces...
TODO
- FR: Allow to insert +1d-type strings when picking up a date with
`org-time-stamp'.
This works for me, what am I missing here?
- FR: Symmetric to individual lead time, I wish I can have individual
remaining time - for example, the number of days during which a
deadline is still visible in the agenda view. (That would happily
steal 90% of what org-expiry.el is trying to achieve.)
I think the purpose of deadlines is for them sting you until you do
something about them? For me it seems that this would be counter
productive. Why don't you tick off these items ok archive/kill them
- FR: IMHO, turning off follow-mode in the agenda view should restore
the window configuration we had before turning follow-mode on.
Hmmm, I am not sure. When you press SPC to look at an entry, the config
is also not restored. Still, maybe a good
[Orgmode] Feature Request: that the pdf saved automatically from agenda be immediately displayed
The saving of a pdf is a really nice feature. I had hacked org-agenda, I think, to automatically do this. However, it would be nicer if immediate display were optional. I don't know whether \C-u makes sense as a prefix to saving a file with \C-x \C-w. Perhaps not. Perhaps this cannot even be done at all, given the utter elegance of the solution that we are given.

Re: [Orgmode] Feature Request: that the pdf saved automatically from agenda be immediately displayed
Hi Alan, a request from my side, to you and everyone else: Please do me a favor and don't use the subject line as part of a mail. In most viewers, the subject is displayed in a completely different place, and long subject lines I might not even see completely. This makes me struggle to put together the content.

What should it say? Will think of it. Because, the keys are available in the menu.

For example, clocking 5 times 10 minutes within the same hour would be rounded up to one hour. With things nicely tugged way into drawers, I see no reasons to do this.

Hi everyone, Is there a way for users to easily replace the leading stars with another symbol? In particular, I want to replace the '*' with '#' so that I use org mode to write pseduocode for R in outline form -- R uses # to designate comments and this would ensure that the headers wouldn't be read as code.
