[O] Freemind export/import to/from org mode
Hi, I use org-freemind-from-org-mode on the following org file: ---beginning of file--- * Root node ** Parent This is the node's note *** Child ---end of file--- It generates an mm file. I expected the contents of the entries in the org file to be exported as notes of the nodes in the mind map. Instead, they are exported as child nodes whose titles are the notes. As a result, in this example Parent has two children (Child and a note) in the mind map. In fact, if I take the mm file and import it back to org using org-freemind-to-org-mode, I get the following: ---beginning of file--- * Root node ** Parent *** This is the node's note *** Child ---end of file--- Is there a way to export the contents of an entry as notes in the mind map? I face the same problem in the other direction. If I add a note to the mind map and then export it to org, the note does not make it to the org file. I would appreciate any help with these issues. Thanks, Gonzalo

[O] [PATCH] Add a support for linking against an attachment of current entry (was: easy way to link to file in attachment directory?)
Hi, Darlan Cavalcante Moreira darc...@gmail.com writes: I have this #+LINK: attach elisp:(org-open-file (org-attach-expand %s)) in all of my org-mode files. In fact, I have this line, among others, in an org-mode setup file which is included in all of my org-mode files using #+SETUPFILE: Then I can create a link to an attachment with [[attach:filename_without_any_path.extension][description]] Also, just after attaching a new file org will automatically store the link so that you can use C-c C-l to include the link. I like your solution, but I was quite frustrated by the lack of completion against the attached files, Here, I propose a solution using `org-add-link-type' and adding attach: kind of links. I actually propose to patch org mode to add this feature. I realized that the part about finding the attached file was already implemented into `org-attach-open', so I first extracted the functionality into a separated function, then I made use of it to implement the new attach: link and the associated completion.

[O] crypt and sync
Dear list, In my org-files I use org-crypt to encrypt subtrees via GPG. That seemed to work fine for some time, but lastly (in connection with org-mobile or org-caldav) the entries get a property drawer with a unique ID. This seems to lead org-crypt to think the entry is not encrypted. Thus, when saving, it encrypts the property drawer /and/ the encrypted text. If I now want to open the encrypted subtree, I have to decrypt quite a few times, each time just removing the property drawer with the ID. Did any of you observe this before? Shouldn't org-crypt disregard property drawers? cheers, -Hannes

If that's the case, the solution is probably simply breaking up your code blocks into smaller bits of code so that you more easily follow what's happening. If the code is emacs-lisp, it's easy enough to put (message ...) calls entering and leaving the code blocks. The defadvice idea is great; I will try it and report back. As for breaking up my code blocks... I wish I could, but some of my SQL queries are just very long running. We have a lot of data. I want to look into indexing and other SQL optimizations -- but I need something in my org-mode to at least show me which blocks are the long-running ones, so I can know where to start! Someone else mentioned that the message about Wrote sql input file could be suppressed; just don't forget that we users need _something_ to help debug our babel code. If one of my sql queries goes wrong, I get something like this in the messages buffer: executing Sql code block (machines-by-week)... mysql ... -N c:/tmp/babel-26204dNc/sql-in-26204uKN c:/tmp/babel-26204dNc/sql-out-262047UT Wrote c:/tmp/babel-26204dNc/ob-input-26204IfZ Babel evaluation exited with code 1 so in this case it'd be OK if the Wrote file went away, because the entire mysql command is still there, so I can find that temp file (which babel doesn't clean up, btw, and in my case that's a good thing!) and trace it back to which code block it came from.

[O] help debugging latex-overlays boxes
Hi All, I am using org-mode in a course this fall with 60 students. All of them are using org-mode from elpa. For about 10 of them, they are unable to toggle the latex-overlays; instead of getting the equations, they get empty gray boxes with an error that the png file was not created. Oddly enough, they can export to PDF just fine. I have also checked that they have LaTeX (TeXLive) installed, and it appears it is. I am able to convert tex files to dvi, and then use dvipng to make a png image. But for some reason, the toggle-latex-overlay function does not work for them.

Re: [O] capture template, filename
Hi Michael,
Michael Welle mwe012...@gmx.net writes:
I have a capture template like this:
(j Journal plain
(file (capture-report-data-file ~/org))
%^{Heading}\n#tags %^{Tags}\nmeta-creation_date: %(format-time-string
\%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S\)\n\n%?)
In capture-report-data-file I want to calculate the filename for the org
file. The filename should be constructed with information from the
heading's value.
If I understand correctly, you are trying to choose the file in which to
save the captured data dynamically, at capture time, based on the value
of the headline...right?
I think you will not be able to do this by setting a target in
org-capture-templates, as you are trying to do. The reason is that the
target for the capture is expanded and determined before any data is
captured. (If you can calculate the filename without using the heading
value, you could use (function ...) or (file+function ...) rather than
(file ...) in org-capture-templates to set the target location.)
I think what you probably want to do is *refile* the captured entry to
the desired location after the template is filled out. I think you can
do this from one of the org-capture-{prepare,before,after}-finalize
hooks -- probably org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook. You could there
add something like
(lambda ()
(org-back-to-heading)
(let ((target (get-target-from-heading)))
(org-refile nil nil target))
where get-target-from-heading should return a refile location based on
the heading. I'm not sure about all the arguments to org-refile
(particularly the second, `default-buffer'). Also if you have other
capture templates where you don't want to dynamically refile based on
the heading, you need to insert a test in there to only do the refile in
the cases you want.
I should say this is not tested and you may need to play around with
some things to get it to work for you. Someone else may have better
advice. But I hope that points you in the right direction!
Best,
Richard
