I've never tried that and don't know if there is a gnuPG version for iphone. That would be the first thing I'd try to verify. If you can encrypt/decrypt on the iphone, it should be possible to handle the rest. The one problem you can run into with gpg files and git is that git can see those as binary files. The general 'rule of thumb' is that you don't put binary files into git. The thinking is that binary files are typically generated from some text file and it is the original source text which you would put into git. There are also some minor technical issues, mainly with large binary files, which make git somewhat inefficient. The big issue however is that by default, most git forges, like github, have a limit on the siace of binary files they will allow in git. That size is reasonably large, but there is a limit which I think you have to pay to have increased. I've not run into that limit with encrypted files, but have with PDFs and other formats I wanted to include in my git repo. > > Hmm. Point taken. I have to work on understanding asymmetric > encryption with org-crypt more. > The main downside with asymmetric encryption is that if you want different keys you have to create lots of different keys and manage them securely. With symmetric encryption, you just have to remember passwords/passphrases. The big advantage with asymmetric is that encryption and decryption are separated. Someone can have your public key and can encrypt data which only you (or whomever has the private key) can decrypt. Based on your desire to roll something out to your family, I would actually recommend a different route. There are some very good open source password managers out there. Many of them, for a very small fee (i.e. $12pa), will also provide a few Gb of encrypted file storage as well. What I find good with some of these is that provided you select the right one, you have full control over the encryption (so the server the provider uses has your data encrypted and only you have the key) and they usually have mobile device support. The big benefit is that the mobile clients will take care of the encryption/decryption bits. Personally, I've been using ipassword for years, but if I was setting things up now from scratch, I would be chekcing out bitwarden and keypass (as well as some others) as possible alternatives. These password managers have grown to be alot more than just password managers. They typically have some support for encrypted files as well as 'secure notes'. The basic architecture of many (especailly the open source ones) is basically the same as your outlined use case - benefit is they have taken care of all the nitty gritty stuff and most of them are based on the same technology (i.e. gnupg under the hood). The other benefit is you also often get support for 2FA/OTP, hardware keys like yubikey etc. Such solutions are also often easier for family members who may not be as technical oriented to learn/use. I also used lastpass at one of the businesses I worked for. While it was a pretty good product when it was first released, I would no longer recommend them. The quality and reliability seems ot have dropped off significantly once they were sold to LogMeIn. I did use borg, though not so much since I retired. It worked OK, but I really just used it to manage tasks and keep notes using my tablet or iphone (I usually used my ipad for meetings). However, since retirement and no longer needing to interact with 'enterprise' environments, my macbook and ipad are pretty much dust collectors! Everything these days is just on my Linux system.

It is up to the user to figure out which key is the key to be used there. If you run M-x org-decrypt-entries, it simply runs org-decrypt-entry on each encrypted headline appearing in the buffer. From top to bottom. No indication will be done about which headline is being processed at any given point. The user may need to count. Of course, the last scenario is not very user-friendly, but I doubt that many users really use different symmetric encryption keys on different headings in a single file.

As I stated earlier, it has been a long time since I used org-crypt, so I'd trust his advice more. However, from a technical perspective, I don't understand how gnupg or org-crypto can prompt to get the different keys and know which chunk to apply which key to, but that is my limited technical expertise more than anything else. With asymmetric encryption, you specify the key name, so it knows which key belongs with each encrypted chunk. I don't see in the code how this is handled for symmetric encryption where no key name is specified. With symmetric encryption, the key is really just the passphrase. GnuPG asks you for the key (passpharase) and it uses that to encrypt/decrypt the data. With asymmetric, there is a public and private pair and an associated 'name'. When encrypting, it knows or asks for the key name and uses the public key and for decrypting, the private key, which most often (but not always) has a passphrase used to unlock it. > >> If your using symmetric encryption, you typically just have one key for >> all the data within the file.

Determining which parts are encrypted isn't hard. However, how do you know which key to associate with each bit? The only solution I can see is to attempt every known symetric key to each chunk until one works and if none of the known ones work, ask for another one. This could be how it works, but that seems extremely inefficient and difficult to manage to me. The other problem is how to prompt for the key. Lets say you have 10 encrypted items in an org file, each encrypted with a different symmetric key. Org has to ask the user for the key for each one. What goes into the prompt to give the user an idea which of the 10 different keys to enter? I guess it could say "Entger key for chunk 1:" and "Enter key for chunk2":, but I'm not sure that is good. The system could use the section heading, but I didn't see anything to indicate it would do that when scanning the code, but perhaps I missed it. > > Hmm, you're suggesting you don't use org-(en/de)crypt.

The key is the password/passphrase. You only have a 'key' with asymmetric encryption, where you have two files, the private and public key. These are managed by gnupg in the .gnupg directory (typically). One thing which you may find helpful is to look at the 3 separate layers involved with org-crypt as they all have their own manual and each layer provides some of the information you are after i.e. - Encryption/decryption and key management is largely handled by gnupg. The documentation associated with gnupg is pretty good and will likely answer many of your questions. - The interface to gnupg from within Emacs is managed by easyPG, which basically consists of two libraries - epa, whihc provides the Emacs interface layer for gnupg and epg, which provides a library that can be used by Emacs packages to access gnupg. This is primarily what org-crypt uses. The easyPG manual is pretty
Re: [PATCH] Re: New source block results option for attaching file to node
Ah sorry about that. I'm on a windows laptop and didn't have make, so was testing interactively and they were passing. I cleaned that up and remove the f-* usage and verified under Ubuntu (on WSL) that the new tests are passing. I was getting some failures with unrelated tests, but also get those in master as well. Unless I'm missing something it looks like test-ob-core/dir-mkdirp covers most other :dir usage. I've remove the ID creation altogether and throw an error if org-attach-dir is nil at that point. The error directs the user to add :ID: or :DIR: and we don't need to do any guessing on their behalf. Implicit ID creation should likely live elsewhere anyway.

Bug: html-postamble string does not allow space [9.4.4 (release_9.4.4 @ /usr/local/share/emacs/27.2/lisp/org/)]
I am using html export feature for org files and I want to change the value
of html-postamble (see [doc](
https://orgmode.org/manual/HTML-preamble-and-postamble.html)).
Here is the `index.org` file:
```
#+title: Home
Welcome
#+options: html-postamble:"TESTSPACE"
```
When I export with `M-x org-html-export-as-html` everything is all right
and I have the following at the end of the html produced buffer:
```html
TESTSPACE
```
But if I add a space:
```
#+title: Home
Welcome
#+options: html-postamble:"TEST SPACE"
```
it raises this error I cannot solve:

caption lost
Hi, I would like to ask you for some advice. I am a beginner in org-mode. I try to include in my text a Figure produced by R block code, just like this: #+caption: My caption #+label: fig:MyFigure #+begin_src R :exports results :results output graphics :file MyFigure.pdf :width 4.8 :height 6.5 :pointsize 7 plot(1:5,1:5) #+end_src The figure is produced and integrated in the text but I have lost my caption : how should I change my command to get it? Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards Katarzyna

This code also generates warnings: In end of data: ob-core.el:2788:21: Warning: the function ‘org-id-get-create’ is not known to be defined. ob-core.el:2787:58: Warning: the function ‘org-get-heading’ is not known to be defined. ob-core.el:2785:23: Warning: the function ‘org-id-get’ is not known to be defined. ob-core.el:2792:38: Warning: the function ‘org-attach-dir’ is not known to be defined. Note that not all the ideas use org-id. Hence, `org-id-get-create' may not be available during runtime. Adding (require 'org-id) is not a good idea either (there will be other side-effects).

The problem you are seeing is because Emacs assigns directory-local and
buffer-local variables _after_ Org mode (or any other major mode) is
loaded.
Org startup staff happens during loading before directory-local
variables are assigned. Hence error.
I've seen multiple issues coming from the above behavior.
Hence, I'd like to propose Org to call `hack-local-variables' early
during startup. The patch is attached.

Sorry for that. Max Nikulin writes: On 10/06/2022 20:11, Ihor Radchenko wrote: I imagine browser URLs could also indicate if they have associated Org notes. Or pdfs. It seems, most of PDF viewers do not allow decorations added by users. Even built-in viewers in browsers displays document as privileged content inaccessible by extensions. A kind of workaround is loading of the same pdf.js to a regular page, but it is not really convenient. I am unsure concerning security issues when pdf.js is bundled into an add-on. AFAIK, https://web.hypothes.is/demos/ somehow works with PDFs in browsers. If you mean docdrop.org then it likely uploads PDF documents to the server, perhaps to convert it to HTML since I have not noticed traces of PDF.js. Due to 502 Bad Gateway response I have not seen it in action. (Why are they insisting namely on dropping file without a button to open file selection dialog?) I did not try to say that it is impossible since pdf.js may be used by regular pages. Serving documents grabbed from various sources requires extreme care to avoid security vulnerabilities. Ideally each document should be served from a unique domain to be able to enforce available measures like Content-Security-Policy. PDF is rather complex format, may include JavaScript, there is chance that some may remain active after rendering the document as HTML. In another project dedicated to capture of web pages I noticed some problems with attacks through JS embedded into HTML pages and the author fixed problems that can be exploited. https://github.com/danny0838/webscrapbook/ Reading about sioyek I noticed that it is able to recognize text looking like references to citations. Several years ago I have heard about converting references formatted using wide spread styles into e.g. bibtex entry or lookup in online libraries (mendeley?). It requires significant efforts to implement, but it would be a killer feature to mark entries in the references section if the user have notes related to the paper even when the PDF has no active hyperlinks or at least doi. However at first similar feature should be added to LinkRemark for regular HTTP URLs. Also, did you announce this anywhere outside Org ML? I have no idea where I should announce it since currently it is useful mostly with Org mode. Unsure if e.g. API of Joplin app will allow to get all links of certain kind in all notes. /r/orgmode I guess. Frankly speaking I forgot about it. The mail list efficiently utilizes my "upstream bandwidth" that I am ready to dedicate to Org, so I do not follow discussions there. I read reddit post mostly when there is no better links in search results. Sometimes I see mentions of this site in the context of discussions related to dark UI patterns (e.g. forcing users to make mobile client more "popular" by blocking some topics in mobile browsers). However it is not fair to complain concerning the policy of such site in a message sent from gmail about a project hosted at github. I agree that post on reddit could attract more users since significant fraction of people prefer instant messengers and web services while hating email. The problem here is that my project deals with email, so it should be more probable to meet users here. Actually I do not mind if someone will mention orco on reddit, but unsure if I will join the discussion. Also I am afraid that I may broke something in Thunderbird internals. It has some code for custom columns but docs are rather scarce, so I am unsure if I implemented it properly. It is a reason to take a pause and to wait if my profile would turn into unusable state. Part of the benefit of the announcement could be having a feedback and people trying and reporting if you actually broke something :) Of course, it does make sense to test things locally first and catch the most obvious issues. The threshold for new users should not be too high. Requirement of a helper application is a significant obstacle. I have not implemented a simple installer. I think, I can cross-compile bURL for windows, but it requires some changes in code and, more important, different installation procedure I have never tried. After first negative impression it may be more hard to convince user to try it again.
Re: [Patch] ob-tangle.el: New value 'ascii' for the header argument ':comments'

My first approach was actually to define some options for org-babel-process-comment. But I noticed that a header with properties, for example: * Header :PROPERTIES: :FOO: var :END: is interpreted as: ;; Header ;; :FOO: var I think the culprit is the '(match-end 0)' in org-babel-tangle-single-block: ...

Note that this function behavior is underfined when FILE buffer does not

ORDERED + org-enforce-todo-depenencies should work with custom TODO keywords as long as you properly define which keywords mean that a task is 'done and which keywords mean the opposite. org-todo-keywords: Each sequence starts with a symbol, either sequence or type, indicating if the keywords should be interpreted as a sequence of action steps, or as different types of TODO items. The first keywords are states requiring action - these states will select a headline for inclusion into the global TODO list Org produces. If one of the "keywords" is the vertical bar, "|", the remaining keywords signify that no further action is necessary. If "|" is not found, the last keyword is treated as the only DONE state of the sequence. Best, Ihor

Re: [BUG] org-capture autoload bug? [9.5.2 (9.5.2-gfbff08 @ /home/ignacio/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.5.2/)]
Hello, The bug I reported about this to the Emacs devel mailing list (https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=54399) has now been closed, and some documentation has been updated in commit 071722e41120. Basically, the problem is that in order for (let ((custom-variable local-value) ...) ... (defcustom custom-variable standard-value ...) ...) to work as expected with dynamic binding, `defcustom' has to set the variable with `set-default-toplevel-value'. This way, the code inside the `let' form uses local-value and the default value is set to standard-value. If `defcustom' uses `set-default' instead, it overwrites the local value, so the let-binding is useless, and after the let form is evaluated the variable is void. The problem was that `set-default-toplevel-value' is used by default, but the documentation said that the default was `set-default'. So either whoever wrote the `org-capture-templates' setter was misguided by the documentation and used `set-default', or more likely, that setter was written before the introduction of `set-default-toplevel-value' in custom.el, and was never updated. The first thing we should do is finding all uses of `set-default' in the org `defcustom' setters and replace them with `set-default-toplevel-value'. This would fix this bug and similar ones when using dynamic binding, and would not affect any other use case. Then we should decide if we want to use autoload cookies for custom variables to make this work also with lexical binding. Otherwise, code like the snippet above would produce an error in Emacs 29, and in Emacs 27 the let binding would be ignored (although at least the custom setter would work). I have no opinion regarding this last point since I don't remember what were the disadvantages of using autoload cookies for custom variables. I've prepared a patch for the first point, which I attach at the end of this email. All changes fall in one of the following cases: - `set-default' -> `set-default-toplevel-value' (as explained) - `set' -> `set-default-toplevel-value' The same, but in this cases there was another bug: If a buffer set the custom variable locally before the feature was autoloaded, the setter of the variable would not set the standard value as the default for other buffers, and would overwrite the buffer-local value. - :set 'set-default -> nothing, since it would be already the default I don't really know what most of the variables whose setter I have changed do or whether it makes any sense to use them inside a let binding, but I have made the change for all of them nevertheless, since it can not harm and could potentially fix a bug. Feel free to restrict those changes only to those variables where it makes sense, such as `org-capture-templates', if you want to keep the patch small and simple.

Re: [PATCH] Re: New source block results option for attaching file to node
Had no experience with the :DIR: property or writing unit tests for Org, but I think I've got both covered now. The ID creation prompting now only happens if there is no result from org-attach-dir, which should address the :DIR: case. Let me know if there's anything about those tests that I should modify.

I am not familiar at all with clojure, so it is hard for me to test the patch. It would help if you also provide the tests in testing/lisp/test-ob-clojure.el to check the added functionality.

Could that have something to do with this? buffer-modified-p is not the only parameter affected by juggling around the local variables. There will be undo history, buffer-chars-modified-tick, before/after-change-hooks triggered by `org-preserve-local-variables', etc. However, I do not see any obvious way how your proposed change can negatively affect all the above. Feel free to propose a patch. Best, Ihor

Almost like we rocketed into 1990. You don't have to be an Apple loser to think ePub is nice. There are ePub reader programs in Linux which allow all you say :-) And yes, is convenient for almost anything (except printing). And yes, you can have your ebook reader on the side, almost as you had the printed programming manuals in times passed. To get from texinfo to ePub, the easiest way is, I guess, to converto to split (x)HTML files, pack the result in a 'sofisticated' ZIP file,(sophisticated in the sense that you have to add a couple more XML files to it) and rename it to .epub Wouldn't be too difficult to come up with a smallish program to do that...
