[Orgmode] Re: org-mac-protocol
On Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:29:43 -0700, Samuel Wales samolog...@gmail.com wrote: I am thinking of trying org-mac-protocol, but I have questions, and perhaps Worg can be updated with the answers to my questions. First, is org-protocol.el required? Does org-mac-protocol build on it or replace it? Yes, org-protocol.el is required. As org-protocol.el ships with org-mode and org-mac-protocol contains (require 'org-protocol), no additional user intervention is required to install org-protocol (but make sure you're using org-mode 6.28 or later). org-protocol.el provides an extendable method of handling links sent to emacsclient. org-mac-protocol is a suite of AppleScripts that sends links from various applications and an org-protocol.el handler to process them. So org-mac-protocol builds on org-protocol.el How does it relate to fireforg? Should I install both if I want Firefox tabs to be savable? No relation to fireforg. I haven't had an opportunity to try fireforg, but they should coexist happily. Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't support AppleScript so Firefox is not compatible with org-mac-protocol. Safari is the only browser supported. I mostly want to bookmark tabs from Safari and Firefox on Mac (and later when I get a Debian machine on that). Ideally this would be done without any typing. Can org-mac-protocol be set to just click and make the title and url from a tab go into a single remember location? Safari: yes-ish, although not quite the workflow you describe. If all you want is title and URL, then calling the org-link AppleScript will send a link to *org-links* list. These still have to be inserted into org page of your choice with C-c C-l Alternatively, you could call the org-remember AppleScript that will pop up a small remember frame with remember template of your creation. That can contain title, URL and selected content. A quick C-c C-c will file the link, destroy the frame and return you to Safari. Are there reports that it works on Tiger? No one has reported. I don't think I used any Leopard specific AppleScript, so I doubt there will be any problems. Finally, I found that the comment about URI escape not being available in the git repository is confusing. Is this a necessary feature? I have no idea why it would not be in git or whether I need it. Absolutely necessary. The git repository was only created at somebodies request. It's not the right place to distribute an AppleScript extension written by another author. I followed the link, and I get what URI escaping is, but don't know whether it is necessary for org-mac-protocol. Should I use the dmg? If you're on Tiger, your best bet is to download my dmg and follow the manual install procedure (the installer package is the only Leopard specific but - Tiger doesn't allow one to automatically install to the user's home directory).

[Orgmode] org-ido-completing-read not defined
Hi.With latest org-mode (release_6.29c.47.gc7c1.dirty): 1. There are still many calls to org-ido-completing-read (ex: „e“ at column view) which won't work because commit 5acac25dc17916fb850c31a715e95ce50de216d0 (All completing-read behavior for iswitchb users) renamed that function. 2. Other functions were renamed, like org-completing-read-no-ido → org-completing-read-no-i. I don't know how that's better. 3. I don't understand why Org has to hard-code references to a specific implementation of completion. I stopped using ido long ago and started using icicles; therefore it feels strange to know that I might be using different engines at the same time, one for Org, the other for the rest of Emacs.

Hi, I've just discovered Org and are truly impressed with it; using it for more and more tasks. Here's what I want to do: I have 2 tables with the same number of rows (one row per subject). I would like to make just one big table by copying the second table to the right of the first one. This is a no-brainer in a spreadsheet but my attempts in Org have failed. Any ideas?

[Orgmode] agenda cycling
In at least org-version 6.29trans, I find the behavior of org-agenda-cycle-show to be different from its docstring, and also different from what I would find most useful. The docstring says: Show the current entry in another window, with default settings. Default settings are taken from `org-show-hierarchy-above' and siblings. When use repeadedly in immediate succession, the remote entry will cycle through visibility entry - subtree - subtree with logbook emacs -q --load org-testcase.el , minimal, produces these states: 1) folded 2) only the first subtask shows, with no indication that there are any other subtasks 3) same as 2 4) everything except logbook 5) everything including logbook I find states 2 and 3 to be confusing, because it makes me think that there are no other subtasks. What I would expect for state 2 is to show children. This is, in fact, the most useful state for me. The behavior that I would find most familiar is the same as the cycling behavior when point is on the parent headline in the outline. I imagine most users would find the same. I don't mind experimenting with extra configurable states for cycling, of course. With my .emacs, the behavior is the same. My .emacs has (setf org-show-following-heading t) (setf org-show-siblings t) Also, I have some ideas for cycling from the agenda, which seem appropriate to include here. Point could change to show more of the outline. I think that the following would work well. 1) folded, with point in the middle 2) children, with point near the top 3) subtree, with point near the top Also, window configuration could change, to a generous size for children and subtree, at least if they cannot fit in the window. Then it could return for folded, so that you can see more of the agenda as usual. I use the default, half-height window for that. Finally, a 4th state, which is to not show the outline at all, is a possibility. Thus, cycling 4 times gets you back to the beginning. Here is a full design. 1) folded, with point in the middle, default window splitting 2) children, with point near the top, generous window splitting 3) subtree, with point near the top, generous window splitting 4) agenda window fills the screen Thanks. -- Myalgic encephalomyelitis causes death (Jason et al. 2006) and severe suffering.

[Orgmode] org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance
Hi all, I don't think org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance is working like it should. Or I'm misunderstanding something.

I expect to see only Stuff. But instead I see Stuff, plus Items 1 - 3. Is that supposed to happen?
