Hi Achim, Achim Gratz strom...@nexgo.de writes: Another issue: the key binding doesn't work, since C-C C-x C-i and C-C C-x C-I are both mapped to org-clock-in-last via a general key mapping of S-TAB to TAB.

Re: [O] How to integrate org-mode in a MS Windows-/Office-based environment?
Hi: There have been a list of good suggestions of integrating org-mode with MS products. I personally use org-mode primarily for task tracking rather than document generation. I use the following combination of tools and techniques: 1. I get tickets assign for review on JIRA. I capture those using jira.el . Yes, I am aware that there is a jira-org tool, but I'm used to jira.el. I get a list of tickets, highlight any new ones and store them in remember mode for inclusion into my task file. 2. I do use gnus with IMAP in which I use davmail as the conduit. If you are lucky to have exchange enabled with IMAP, then you do not need to do this. In my workplace, that's not the case. The issue of using davmail is that you get constrained to use emacs 22 being that version of gnus that is shipped in emacs 23 does not play well with davmail. I have not tried it with emacs 24. This is mostly for emails and capture any new tasks or ideas that warrant to be stored for tracking. 3. I do not normally store appointments in org-mode. I rather have my phone nagging me when a meeting is coming up. I use the weekly agenda to track deadlines. Using HTML for export is a good way to transfer content as has been suggested. In my personal case, most of my documentation stored in org-mode are meeting notes, I really do not have a need to transfer to Word being that these are for my use. -- Luis Anaya papo anaya aroba hot mail punto com Do not use 100 words if you can say it in 10 - Yamamoto Tsunetomo

[O] mobile-org, webdav, can't push (password not accepted)
Hi, I need a little help with mobile-org and webdav. (I need to use webdav because I live year-round in China, and the last time I tried, dropbox was not accessible from the mainland. In any case, I prefer to keep the data local.) I've set up the webdav server following the instructions here: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-webdav-with-apache2-on-ubuntu-10.04 This guide suggests two tests: connecting to webdav at the command line using cadaver, and using connect to server in Ubuntu's nautilus (Ubuntu 12.04). In both of those tests, I can authenticate successfully to the server. In Emacs, I made sure the org files I want to sync are under org-directory, and I think I set up the rest okay according to: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#mobileorg_webdav Org Mobile Files: Hide Value [X] org-agenda-files [ ] org-agenda-text-search-extra-files State: STANDARD. Files to be staged for MobileOrg. More Org Mobile Directory: Hide Value /scpc:hjhmbrg@127.0.0.1:org/webdav/ State: SAVED and set. The WebDAV directory where the interaction with the mobile takes place. Org Mobile Inbox For Pull: Hide Value ~/Documents/mobileorg/from-mobile.org State: SAVED and set. But pushing from orgmode refuses to accept the password. I know I'm typing in the correct password because it works with cadaver and connect server. I also tried the staging approach. Same problem. The org files are staged successfully. Then there's a pop-up window for the OpenSSH password, but again, if I type the exact same password I used with sudo htpasswd, it fails to authenticate. Note again that it is *not* a general webdav problem -- I can authenticate by other methods, but whatever org is doing to log in, it isn't working.

The drawback for me is that org-todo-keywords combines the separate items into strings (so modifier symbols can't be used). :/ Allowing more symbols would be useful for me.

[O] Google Summer of Code update
Dear all, this week, GSoC co-mentors and students spent time testing and evaluating our GSoC projects. Of the 3 ongoing projects, one will stop and the two others will continue. The bugpile project will stop: Thorsten produced lots of exploratory writing for the design of a web framework based on elnode and Org, and he wrote code for this. But Eric and I feel like the project is not going in the right direction. So instead of spending too much time on trying to agree about a new direction, we decided to stop the project. This is a hard decision to take, but I think this is for the best. I should thank again Thorsten here, as he's the one who convinced me to go for the GSoC this year. His code and docs remain available, and I'm sure there are lots of ideas that will survive this experience. ~$ git clone git://orgmode.org/bugpile.git http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/gsoc2012/student-projects/bugpile/ Thanks also goes to Eric for his time mentoring Thorsten. And thanks goes of course to Google! Being paid to write free software is a priviledge -- even more when failing is just part of the game.

The following is my opinion why I prefer using HTML to ODF for transfer to Word, but there is no reason for not using ODF for transfer files. It is more a matter of personal taste than anything else. 1. Mature support for HTML import on Word. ODF import was included in Office 2007 as an option. But HTML support has been available since Office 2000. (probably since Office '98, but it's been a while since I used that one). If you do not have the ODF facility installed in Word or if you're stuck with an older version of Office then you have to convert to Word using Libre/Open Office. That's an extra step and more conversion errors to add to the final result. 2. Less nuances to worry about. HTML is clean and a plain ASCII format at the expense of size. I am not familiar with ODF's internal structure, but I've worked on the generation of MS Open Office XML documents at work. Even though it's an XML format, there are sometimes difference in the positioning of elemements when documents are created in Word vs when they are created through a program using the MSOOXML libraries. One issue I had during testing was the inclusion of images in which they get installed on a different nodes if the document is created through the .NET API. These causes images not to show up in LibreOffice or AbiWord to crash. However they render fine in Word.

[O] org-caldav: Sync Org with external calendars through CalDAV (Owncloud, Google, ...)
I have written a package 'org-caldav' which can sync items to a remote calendar server using the CalDAV protocol. The main purpose of this package is to make better use of Org in combination with Android-based mobile devices (yes, there is mobileOrg, but I have several problems with it; that's a topic for another day, though). I think org-caldav is now good enough to allow some testing by adventurous people. I put the code up on github here https://github.com/dengste/org-caldav I've tested the code with my Owncloud server and also with Google Calendar. Please see the Readme on how to set things up. Most importantly, please use a new, dedicated calendar for testing this package; do *not* use your precious main calendar. Also, while org-caldav should only access the calendar you provide through `org-caldav-calendar-id', you should have a backup of all your calendar data, just in case. The initial sync can take some time, depending on the number of events. Especially the CalDAV interface to Google can be quite slow at times. If the initial sync aborts for any reason, just run `org-caldav-sync' again. Note that after the initial sync, only new events will be transferred, so things should become much snappier. A few further notes regarding the code: I am relying mainly on three other packages to do the real heavy lifting, which is also why org-caldav is actually pretty small: - url-dav.el for talking to WebDAV servers (CalDAV is essentially WebDAV with a few extensions). Unfortunately, the current version of url-dav that is shipping with Emacs is broken for practically all CalDAV servers (see bug #11916), which is why I provide a patched version of url-dav.el in the above repository. You have to make sure that this patched version is loaded instead of the one in Emacs proper. I am hoping that this will be fixed in Emacs 24.2. - org-icalendar.el is doing all the conversion from org to icalendar events which are needed for CalDAV. This has the advantage that you can use all the variables from that package to control how things should be exported. The only exception is the actual org files being searched for time stamps, which is determined through `org-caldav-files'. - icalendar.el for parsing events from CalDAV. I took some code from that package to generate org items from the calendar events. The syncing between org and the external calendar is not yet really finished. I would like to have proper two-way-syncing so that you can freely change events on any side, but this is rather difficult to do and I'd first like to get some feedback on the current code. Also, I have a hunch that some Org experts around here might have some good ideas on how to properly implement this. Here's what the code can currently do: - All items in `org-caldav-files' with active time stamps are synced to the calendar. - If you change an item in one of those files in orgmode, this change will also get synced to the external calendar (to be exact: this will generate a new event and the old one will be deleted). - If you create a *new* event in the calendar through Android or any other client (like browser), this event will land in the `org-caldav-inbox' file as an org item. However: - If you *change* an item directly on the CalDAV server, this will *not* get synced back to Org. What happens exactly depends on the server (whether it renames the event or not). Just try it out. The item might even get deleted after the next sync - you have been warned. - Likewise, if you *change* and item in `org-caldav-inbox', this will not get synced back to the calendar. OK, this has gotten way too long already. Please try it out and let me know how it goes. Cheers, David

(I need to use webdav because I live year-round in China, and the last time I tried, dropbox was not accessible from the mainland. In any case, I prefer to keep the data local.) OK... For testing purposes, I decided to start off with dropbox. I can switch to webdav later (but my return to China is in about 3.5 weeks, so the clock is ticking -- the original question in this thread still needs to be solved). I was able to push to dropbox, and sync on my tablet. Some issues -- - I can't find an option within MobileOrg on the tablet to look at an agenda-style view. Does it exist? (This is for android.) - So I thought, okay, how about synchronizing to the tablet's calendar? Unfortunately, it seems that MobileOrg ignores timestamps in item headlines. The item has to have either a scheduled time or a deadline. So I guess I will need to enter redundant dates -- once in the headline for C-c a, and again using C-c C-s. Is that correct, or a bug? So... interesting... a bit less than I hoped. But orgmode itself is so much better than anything else I've used, it's worth trying to make it work.

Redundant dates are presented redundantly in emacs' agenda view! So I'll have to switch my habit from C-c . to C-c C-s.

[O] preserve trailing zeros in table output from shell script
I have a reporting shell script that generates a tab-delimited table. Using it within a shell code block, org parses this nicely into an org table. But org seems to drop any trailing zeros from numeric cells. My reporting script has already done the number formatting, so I want trailing zeros preserved (both within org and in html export). What's the best way? Thanks, Joe
