[Orgmode] How to Strip TODO headword and refile as a note
I had a TODO item to go to the bank. At the bank I had some issues to discuss with a representative. Now I'm home, I am going over my agenda todo listing, and see this item, with a priority of A. I stumbled momentarily, realizing I not only want to archive this, get it out of my agenda and todo file, I also want to file a note about the issues, and what I learned about them. I can archive the TODO, and then file a todo, or refile the todo ... hope people understand what I'm asking. It's trivial, a simple elisp function to strip TODO and maybe tags. Thought someone might have an idea about this. I apologize if this is something that has come up before. Alan ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Hello,
How could I setup org-remember to put the item I collect in the top
of the list instead of the bottom?
I have the following code:
(setq org-remember-templates
'(

\nAdded: %U ~/org/gtd/newgtd.org *Next Actions*)

))
For NextAction, I would like them to be placed at the top, is it
possible?
Hi,
unfortunately, this is not possible on a per template basis.
I am working on a rewrite for much of the remember functionality, and
this will be one of the options.

But if there are habits undone, *I never reschedule them*. Once I reach a point during the day when I know I no longer have time or opportunity to work on my habits, I just hit K and exclude them from the view.

The todo file expression suggests organizational problems. When I began to use org-mode I also kept a todo file, but it's a misunderstading of Org. You don't need to keep your todos in a separate file. You should keep everything in files thematically and toggle the TODO keyword on the header right there in the natural context of the task. Org will take care of scanning of your files and pick up your TODO entries. This way if you are done with an item you don't have to move it out of your agenda and todo file, because it's already there where it belongs, you can add notes to it there and it will disappear from the agenda if you toggle the item to DONE state. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] directory tree size browsing with column view
Hi all,
I would like to use the column view for browsing a hierarchical tree with a
summed up property like e. g. the directory sizes (inclusive cluster waste and
subdirectories from `du -sk`) of a directory tree. Just similar (only unsorted)
to the upper left pane of this GUI screenshot of WinDirStat here
http://windirstat.info/images/windirstat.jpg
Let me make an example how I think to do the same with column view when given a
directory with the two shell outputs
$ ls -lR dir_node
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 usr grp 136 Oct 24 12:00 a
drwxr-xr-x 2 usr grp 102 Oct 24 12:00 b
-rw-r--r-- 1 usr grp 9070 Oct 24 13:00 t.txt
dir_node/a:
total 2400
-rw-r--r-- 1 usr grp 4535 Oct 24 12:00 x.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 usr grp 1217312 Oct 24 12:00 y.txt
dir_node/b:
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 usr grp 4535 Oct 24 12:00 z.txt
$ find dir_node -type d -exec du -sk {} \;
1220dir_node
1200dir_node/a
8 dir_node/b
For this I would like to have `some software' which uses the path to this
directory `dir_node' as input and produces the following output file
-*- mode: org; eval: (org-columns) -*-
#+STARTUP: odd hidestars
#+PROPERTY: size
#+COLUMNS: %20ITEM %size{+}
* dir_node
*** a
:PROPERTIES:

:END:

Opening this file in org-mode using column view now is comfortable to browse
and can look e. g. like here

*** b| 8|...
*** .| 12 |...
where all not of interest can be left hidden and one can see easily that
- the directory `a' is by far the largest
- most of the disk usage is caused only by the file dir_node/a/y.txt.
- etc
I would be able to implement this `some software' in a shell script (if I would
take the necessary time some day) but not within Emacs itself which would be
easier to use and IMHO would not be concerned that much with portability issues.
What do you think?

What do you think?
Have you looked at org-fstree? http://repo.or.cz/w/org-fstree.git
It generates an org tree for the contents of a directory. It doesn't have an
option to include the size or other file attributes as properties as the moment,
but I don't think this would be hard to add. Andreas and I have been working on
it quite a lot over the last week, I'll see if I can add an option which would
do what you want.

Org-R will soon be removed from the contrib directory. It is available from my website (code[1] and tutorial[2]), and of course remains in the history of the org mode git repository. However, I'd encourage anyone interested to use org-babel[3] to run R code in org-mode documents. I won't be maintaining it any more so, for the record, the final version is 0.06 2009-04-15.

What do you think?
Have you looked at org-fstree? http://repo.or.cz/w/org-fstree.git
It generates an org tree for the contents of a directory. It doesn't have an

moment,
but I don't think this would be hard to add. Andreas and I have been working
on
it quite a lot over the last week, I'll see if I can add an option which would
do what you want.
OK, I have added support for including file attributes as properties to
org-fstree. You will need to use the merge_jtd_smiths_patch branch.
Once you have loaded org-fstree put the following in an orgfile and fill in the
directory name.

Re: [Orgmode] getting Firefox tabs into org on a mac
Hi Samuel, thanks for taking the time to report your findings and ideas.

Thanks, kind of you. Concerning syncing I'm not sure I get your plan entirely. Is the main purpose of it to synchronize the tabs between different browsers? Yes, that would be nice. Also, you don't want to save a duplicate of the same tab. So this is a special case of having a list/tree of bookmarks sychronized between Org, Firefox and other browsers. It needs communication from Emacs to the browser plugin, which I had working once. I'll try to revive that code when I get time. It might be useful to have more than one remember template: one for saving all tabs and one for saving one tab. In the updated documentation take a look at the option List of characters specifying available remember templates. Another idea is to have a button on the status line that you can left click on to remember one tab. Ok, that would save one click at the expense of the status bar's cleaness. Would the middle mouse button do? Apparent bugs and suggestions follow. (Others not developing Fireforg need not read.) === There was a setting that I didn't understand having to do with using DOI. Perhaps how this works can be explained. Does it use the net? You might want to mention that it stands for digital object identifier. It searches for a Digital Object Identifier in the hmtl code of the site shown. If Prefetch links to extract is enabled, it does so also for all links in a website after it is loaded. I've updated the documentation. I had to change head -1 to head -n 1 in the pull script to fix an error in head. head is /sw/bin/head, perhaps from some fink or macports package. That's fixed, thanks. Perhaps the error messages in emacs and ff can explain what you need to do to fix them. Also, perhaps common non-working states can be checked for. That would make it easier. I used your suggested template: (fireforg ?w * %:description \n %:link %!) Sometimes, nothing happens. Other times, emacs opens a buffer that is blank. It expects you to do c-x # to finish the buffer. Currently nothing is happening, so I can't describe that one more fully. At one point I got this error message. error in process filter: Setting current directory: no such file or directory, /Users/.../fireforg/org-protocol:/remember:/http%3A%2F%2F... That all is a symptom of org-protocol not having been initialized. It might be nice to document whether any of the options will slow Firefox or Emacs down. (Even if none of them do.) Yes, done that. I noticed that the Read It Later extension no longer has a button. Might be a coincidence. I can't reproduce this with either order of installation. If this persists could you please check whether there are any errors in Tools-Error console concerning either of the plugins? Perhaps giving git instructions would make it easier to dl the .sh, .xpi, and .el all at once. git clone http://repo.or.cz/w/org-fireforg.git; did not work. (Something about corruption; I don't have the output now.) git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/org-fireforg.git The directory w shows the website for the project. -- Andreas That is all the bug reporting I can do. I will have to stop trying to get Fireforg to work. I cannot make further attempts as debugging requires far too much physical use of keyboard and mouse. Thanks.

Maybe there are more. 1) Have emacs or a script convert one of the folders in the bookmark file to an org outline as above. 2) Have org-mac-protocol set up for individual tabs to be clicked to get them remembered. If I do (2), then I'd want it to be easy. That is, without having to switch from mouse to keyboard. But does (2) work on a Mac? Last I heard, org-mac-protocol works for Safari, but not Firefox.

Then you could either add a note to the item with C-c C-z or simply jump to the location of the complete item and add a new sibling with notes and/or a new TODO. But perhaps you're trying to accomplish something different... Best, Matt One way to do this is to have DONE items automatically prompt for a note. You enter your text into a buffer and press C-c C-c to finish the process. It is very much like `remember'. If you don't want a note at all, press C-c C-k instead.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: contact management in org-mode?
Lindsay package. Or is BBDB so wonderful that I should just use Lindsay that instead? I use both and I really recommend BBDB. I've never used the link between bbdb and org-mode, so I cannot comment on that. But they're two great packages on their own merits. Bets regards, I use both. bbdb works great as a contact manager. I link to entries in bbdb in my org-mode files for phone calls etc. -Bernt I reverse my recommendation regarding BBDB. /rant on I'm migrating out of it as fast as I can. The import/export tools are terrible / nonexistant unless you know elisp, and good luck with resolving contacts from multiple sources. I don't use GNUS or any of the other features of BBDB aside from rare org-links and mutt lbdb integration for address lookup. I have wasted hours at this point trying to export data from BBDB so I can use it to rebuild my contacts on my new phone (G1). Imagine hacking the data back out of BBDB's funky format so I can have it in CSV. There's absolutely no way for me to sync between sources without fast import/export. At this point the forerunner is abook, not just because its format is simple and plain text, but because it integrates with lbdb and FULL CSV import and export work properly out of the box. My only complaints are its fixed database format which doesn't extend easily, and its not inside emacs. Given that an addressbook program is typically used as the most basic example in learning how to code forms or databases, its sad to see how badly the available options suck. /rant off I'll post if I find a better alternative. I welcome recommendations while I try to centralize my contacts to CSV while I decide what to put them in.
