[O] Journal versus clock tables: Opposing requirements?
I'm trying to get org-mode to provide me with two things, but haven't found a way to do it. 1. First, I want to be able to use it like a daily engineering or science journal, logging notes as they occur, in pretty much linear fashion chronologically. Or, more to the point, I want to be able to report and look at items as they occurred, in pretty much linear fashion chronologically. Essentially I want to be able to report on activity by time of occurrence, not topic. 2. But second, I want to see clock tables covering a period of time, which groups related items together regardless of when (within the given period) they happened. Essentially I want to be able to report on actrivity by topic, not time of occurrence. I'm using some of Bernt Hansen's excellent setup, but it still isn't getting me quite where I want to be. I'll note also that the agenda's log mode doesn't really give me point 1. It simply lists the *headlines* which have a clock entry or timestamp at a given time. I want to see my entire journal -- a la a blog. (*Ideally* I'd like to be able to control the depth to which that entire journal output went to, but seeing the whole shebang would be a good start.) Anyone have any ideas how to do this. thanks, Tommy

Anyone have any ideas how to do this. Hi Tommy, For item 1) can you use the display of inactive timestamps to get part of the information you want in the agenda and then visit the items with either follow mode (F) or manually visit each item with SPC to get more detail? If you create an inactive timestamp for every new note you log you can display that timestamp with [ or ] in the agenda. This is what I do. For item 2) I would use agenda clock reports R while displaying the agenda time frame you are interested in. You can limit the agenda to certain tags and use C-u R to limit the clock report to only those tags. HTH, Bernt

Maybe I misunderstand what you want to accomplish, but if you put your journal into a separate file (e.g. journal.org), you could load it as any other file into emacs and look at it. With org-cycle (C-u TAB) you can fold everything and open selected entries (TAB on a single headline) if you want. You can create clock tables and select reported items by tags. So, if you tag your journal entries, you can create clock tables made up of a few entries only. See the org manual: The clock table. Regards, Olaf

Olaf wrote: Maybe I misunderstand what you want to accomplish, but if you put your journal into a separate file (e.g. journal.org), ... That's pretty much what I want. But if I do that I then have trouble with getting sensible clock tables. For example, suppose I had: *** Headline about some activity on Project A CLOCK: [from]--[to] = duration notes notes notes *** Headline about some activity on Project B CLOCK: [from]--[to] = duration more notes notes note *** Headline about some other activity on Project A CLOCK: [from]--[to] = duration yet more notes notes Adding those as a chronological journal lets me get a report of chronology, but it won't let me have a clock table with the times for the two on Project A activities combined into one. Will it? Of course I could shove the Project A activities under one single higher-level headline, but that than violates the chronology side of things (in the sense that I want to enter things into my journal in chronological order, just as I would in a paper log book). You can create clock tables and select reported items by tags. So, if you tag your journal entries, you can create clock tables made up of a few entries only. OK, that might be what I need then. I thought clock tables grouped things by headings, not by tags. I'll have a look at the manual. thanks, Tommy

Thanks. That's pretty much exactly my workaround now. So I enter data all over the place in my file, so as to preserve position with respect to headings (so my clock table is correct). Therefore the only way to get the journal-style output seems to be as you suggest. The problem is, at the end of the week, when I want to output a report of what I did, it's a fairly manual task. It's true that even with a chronological report I wouldn't necessarily leave the chronological output as-is, with no editing or grouping. But it will be *much* easier to get what I want if I can start with a simple linear-time report of everything, than if I have to work my way through the weekly agenda in follow mode. Tommy

Re: [O] Journal versus clock tables: Opposing requirements?
OK, that might be what I need then. I thought clock tables grouped things by headings, not by tags. I'll have a look at the manual. I'm trying the tagging thing within clock tables, but I can't get it working at all. I've attached a tag to a single headline, and checked that I've got that right by using C-c a m. Then I added a :tags item to my clock table block but it seems to have no effect. Is this valid: #+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 2 :scope file :block thisweek :step week :indent :tags test_tag #+END: I've also tried :tags 'test_tag', :tags '+test_tag' and a bunch of other things, but nothing seems to do anything. What I was expecting was that my clock table, currently filled with lots of items, would be reduced to looking only at the single headline that I've tagged. But it's not -- it just stays as it was before. What am I doing wrong? thx, Tommy

PDF is a common standard whereas DjVu is something I - as an advanced computer user - never faced before in real life. I am not sure whether any of my computers can handle DjVu files at all. The goals of DjVu sound great but I get everything with PDF too. Although I like the idea of OGG Vorbis, I re-ripped all my CDs using mp3 again because I could not use many music devices or music management software packages. I stick to the format *any* computer can handle without special software products. And I do think that I get a higher chance of being able to read my documents twenty years from now. For scanned images I'd prefer PNG instead but the OS X Software of my OfficeJet offers me the ability to generate PDF files where an OCR software adds a searchable text layer above the scanned text. This is *very* important to me since I am able to do full text search on the content of my archived documents. And I plan to archive *all* of my documents. Really all of them. Storage space does not matter (any more) to me since I have more disk space now already than I could possible fill with my lifetime paper correspondence. And I do think that my disk space continues to grow in future. I scan all docs @ 600dpi, predominantly gray-scale (only in colour when it's *really* necessary) and store in DjVu format, all using gscan2pdf [2]. Even at that seemingly overkill resolution, single-page documents are generally (if they aren't too grainy) only a few 100 KiB in size. My HP software uses 300 dpi per default and it is OK to me too. Funny side fact: grayscale scan document settings produces slightly larger files than colored ones. gscan2pdf also supports a number of OCR utils, but the UI for this is clumsy (aren't they all...), so you're better off using the CLI tools directly. Tesseract is recommended. I played around with ocropus, tesseract, ocroscript, hocr2pdf, exactimage, ppa:gezakovacs/pdfocr, ... to generate those sandwitch PDF documents (OCR text above the scanned images) on GNU/Linux. Unfortunately none of those (very cool projects) produced reliable results on my side. The results vary from «no error but overlay font size is incorrect and produces loss of layout» to «library error messages I can not read or handle». Whereas the HP OfficeJet bundles its OS X software with OCR from Readiris which produces perfect results even in different languages and using a usable user interface. NOTE: When attempting something like this, a fast scanner with a *reliable* automatic document feeder will help prevent premature hair loss ;) I have found several scanner products I was interested in: Canon imageFORMULA P-150: very small form factor with basic Linux support. Price tag starts with € 260. Neat form factor and very portable. Different version P-150m for Mac OS X. The authors of [3] use Fujitsu ScanSnap starting at € 400. I ended up with the Office Jet Pro (mentioned above) at € 250 because I got flatbed scanner *and* ADF-scanner *and* a full-duplex/full-color network printer with a very good price-per-printed-page-ratio (better than many laser printers!). And all of this with a cheaper price tag than any scan-only-product I was interested in. So far I am almost satisfied. «Almost»? Well, HP did a good job with this printer but they made only a 90% solution on almost all levels. Whereas 100% would be possible with small additional effort when creating the printer. But those resulting 90% are pretty usable. 3. http://qr.cx/sAHU -- Karl Voit

If so, I can't reproduce it. Your

[O] Improving bug reporting documentation
Hi Bastien and others,
Lately I have been seeing a lot of bug reports sent using the
org-submit-bug-report. The reporter usually reports the bug from a
session they have been using with their full blown customisations. And
often they are requested to reproduce the bug with emacs -Q. So I
thought it would be easier if the manual mentioned this little detail.
A patch is attached.
Hope this helps.
PS: I marked the patch as TINY CHANGE.

+Sometimes you might face a problem due to an error in your Emacs or Org-mode
+setup. Before reporting a bug, it is very helpful to start Emacs with minimal
+customisations and reproduce the problem. Doing so often helps you determine
+if the problem is with your customisation or with Org-mode itself. You can

+However if you are using Org-mode as distributed with Emacs, a minimal setup
+is not necessary. In that case it is sufficient to start Emacs as @code{emacs
+-Q}. The @code{minimal-org.el} setup file can have contents as shown below.

+@example
+;;; Minimal setup to load latest `org-mode'

+;; activate debugging
+(setq debug-on-error t
+ debug-on-signal nil
+ debug-on-quit nil)

Re: [O] Journal versus clock tables: Opposing requirements?
Tommy Kelly tommy.ke...@verilab.com writes: Bernt wrote: For item 1) can you use the display of inactive timestamps to get part of the information you want in the agenda and then visit the items with either follow mode (F) or manually visit each item with SPC to get more detail? Thanks. That's pretty much exactly my workaround now. So I enter data all over the place in my file, so as to preserve position with respect to headings (so my clock table is correct). Therefore the only way to get the journal-style output seems to be as you suggest. The problem is, at the end of the week, when I want to output a report of what I did, it's a fairly manual task. It's true that even with a chronological report I wouldn't necessarily leave the chronological output as-is, with no editing or grouping. But it will be *much* easier to get what I want if I can start with a simple linear-time report of everything, than if I have to work my way through the weekly agenda in follow mode. If you can manually create your report (even if it is tedious) then it should be possible to automate most of it. This is Emacs after all - you can program it to do whatever you need it to do. It should be possible to write code that walks your agenda, visits the tasks, and copies and pastes the details to a temporary org buffer/file just for your chronological report. I have no idea what that code would look like though... it depends on how often you require this weekly report if writing that code would be worth it or not. Regards, Bernt
