I understand now. I thought you wanted to use different format: (?R set-category set-category-args) Then, your code looks reasonable. Just need to document the new custom bulk action format.

Thanks for your working. I will modify my mailcap config temporary until Org Mode fix this issue. You're right, this change might break some behavior of some users. I don't understand Emacs sub-process mechanism. Can't help on this problem. But I'm interested in this. I will take some time to study in. Anyway, thanks for your work.

Region-based meta-notes
I've got this * foldl :PROPERTIES:_ Problematic with ~foldr~ is that it recurses out to its full length before performing the given function's task. For example, with #+begin_example foldr (+) list #+end_example ~(+)~ behaves strictly, meaning that both arguments to it must be fully evaluated before ~(+)~ can return a result. Hence, for ... Problem is I've borrowed (some, most, all of) this from an online source and I want to credit the source. What would be nice is to be able to select a region -- however big or small -- and create a log/note/footnote etc. about the selected region -- in my case, give reference. Of course I could just tack a footnote at the end of the borrowed stuff, but then in the case of multiple preceding paragraphs, formulae, etc. it would be hard to indicate where the particular borrowed parts began -- without resorting to ugly marker kludges. So yes, simply being able to select regions and make side notes about them could give you a very fine level of control over metadata in a file. Is there such a thing in the Emacs/org-mode world? LB
Regression in org-element-fixed-width-parser? Extra newline added after exported block
Hi all, I wrote two Org exporters[1,2] that each have a testsuite of their own. I regularly run tests against Emacs 25 and 26 with their respective Org versions. When I started to test against Emacs 27.1 with Org mode 9.3 I got test failures in both exporters: The export of a fixed with block now contains an extra empty line after the block. I have created a minimal test using the ox-ascii backend that shows the same behaviour in Org core. Using git bisect, I have tracked the source of the extra line down to this change: commit 7d9e4da447fa54633daf75a241c6b0a603c0e662 Prevent spurious newline character in fixed-width area value The commit changes the newline handling _within_ the fixed-width block (proven by test-org-element/fixed-width-parser which is updated in respect to the changes). But the existing test only covers the fixed-width block itself. It does not extend to the next paragraph after the block and so does not see the additional empty line that has popped up. My test that fails on the extra line is attached here. When run on against a checkout earlier than 7d9e4da44 the test succeeds, after that it fails. Is the extra newline a regression? I have looked at the changes in `org-element-fixed-width-parser', but I don't understand where the extra newline comes from as I don't really grok the parsing routine. I'd love to help track this down. If my patch is deemed useful to prevent further changes to the parser then feel free to apply it. Best regards Christian [1] https://github.com/mmitch/ox-s9y [2] https://github.com/mmitch/ox-bb I intend to submit ox-bb as a patch later, but I currently have a failing test in its testsuite ;-) -- Christian.Garbshttps://www.cgarbs.de How hard can it be?

logrepeat only logging LAST_REPEAT
Hello, for some entries I use the logrepeat feature (enabled by setting the LOGGING property of the entry). I get a :LAST_REPEAT: property that I (always) want, and also a complete log I do not (always) want, in the form of a growing list of - State "DONE" from "XYZ" [2021-01-19 Di 12:01] style entries that I often "garbage collect" manually. Is there a way to get only the :LAST_REPEAT: prop logged, without the ever-growing list? If not, please consider as "wishlist" request. TIA, Michael.
