[O] GNU Emacs 24.3.1 creates macro-expansion failure messages
I am running Org-mode version 7.9.4 and recently upgraded to Gnu Emacs 24.3.1. Now when I start Emacs I get an error message which causes my Emacs to give the following message: Eager macro-expansion failure: (error Invalid agenda key) [2 times] (lambda (x) ...) quoted with ' rather than with #' Org-mode works but Emacs starts with a split window with a *scratch* buffer and a GNU Emacs buffer (which is the only window I expected). My Lisp skills are almost non-existent. Who can help please? Thank you Charles
[O] Date tree capture regexp for headline matching has changed.
I use date-trees extensively for capturing Todo list items and appointments. I noticed a change of behaviour between 7.4 and 7.5 In the date tree, I annotate the Monday date with a week number so I can see the beginning of a week at a glance. for example: *** 2011-05-09 Sunday *** 2011-05-09 Monday Week 19 Note one Note two Since version 7.5, if I add the Week 19 text, the next time I do a capture, a new day heading is made. In version 7.4 and earlier the headline matched from the beginning, but now it seems the entire line is matched. Why has this behaviour changed? I consider this an unnecessary change / annoyance. Can this behaviour be changed back to the old way? Thank you Charles
Re: [O] Date tree capture regexp for headline matching has changed.
I compared org-datetre.el from 7.4 to 7.5 and got the following diff output (edited) I can see that the regular expression has become more restricted with the addition of \\w+$ at the end. At least I know what to manually change to make orgmode work the way I want it. 105c105 (this is the org-datetree-find-day-create function 7.4: (let ((re (format ^\\*+[ \t]+%d-%02d-\\([0123][0-9]\\)[ \t\n] year month)) --- 7.5: (let ((re (format ^\\*+[ \t]+%d-%02d-\\([0123][0-9]\\) \\w+$ year month))
[Orgmode] Solved the problem of org-capture apparently not working
In early January I posted what I thought was a bug report with org-capture. I found that capturing to a date-tree didn't always work and in one file the capture was written to the wrong place. Well, the problem was with the data! One of my headings began with 2011. The tree looked something like this (edited) * 2010 ** 2010-12 December *** 2010-12-05 Sunday A heading 2011 Actions -- this caused the problem Another heading ... *** 2010-12-06 Monday ... ... In 2011 when I captured into this file's date-tree, org-capture found the headline 2011 Actions which matched the algorithm and the captured item appeared at the end of the headings at that level. My suggestion to eliminate the problem is to modify the org-capture algorithm so years have to match beginning of line + one asterisk + one space + the year Similarly, months could match beginning of line + two asterisks + one space + the year + hyphen + month number + space + Monthname.But the chance of this format heading appearing outside a date-tree would be very low.

[Orgmode] Bug report: filing into a date tree in year 2011 when 2010 exists in file
Happy New Year! This morning I filed a note into my taskdiary file which is a date tree file. The top level headlines are: * Configuration * Calendar * 2010 When I filed a new note (date is 1st January 2011) I expected a new top level heading of * 2011 to be created but it wasn't. Instead, the note was filed inside the 2010 hierarchy. I created the * 2011 heading after the 2010 tree but the problem still occurred, so I moved the 2011 heading before the 2010 and the capturing now works. This is a reasonable workaround, but I did expect a new top level heading to be created. Date trees should be capable of storing multiple years.

[Orgmode] How do I insert just a time stamp in a capture template?
I use capture to log how I am spending my time. Every time I start a new task,
drink a cup of coffee, have a break, arrive at work, go home, I want to quickly
capture a note.
I use the following template
(l Log Time
entry (file+datetree c:/charles/My Dropbox/GTD/timelog.org)
** %U - %^{Activity} :TIME:)
)
A typical entry from this template looks like:
* 2010
** 2010-12-December
*** 2010-12-09 Thursday
[2010-12-09 Thu 08:10] - Arrived at the office :TIME:
I would like to just have the time in the headline not the complete date time
stamp.
I couldn't find a % extension in the documenation
(9.1.3.2 Template expansion)
How can I just include a time only in the heading?
Charles
P.S. My capture-mode tutorial project should be released this weeekend

[Orgmode] Just discovered the date-tree capability of Remember
The org-mode documentation is very thorough and describes all the
features very well. But often the power of a feauture is not evident
until I start experimenting. Such a feature is the date-tree option of
Remember mode (section 9.1.2 Remember Templates).
I have a journal.org file which is my general purpose diary but I
manually create new headings each month and not worry about grouping
entries by day.
So what is a date tree?
It is a structure in an org-mode file that looks like:
* 2010
** 2010-05 May
** 2010-06 June
*** 2010-06-08 Tuesday
*** 2010-06-09 Wednesday
** This is my heading
And this it the content of each node.
I wasn't aware what headings are created but as you can see they are
parts of a date in the format -MM-DD annotated with a month or day name.
Here is my Remember template:
(Diary ?d \n* %^{topic} %^g\n%i%?\nAdded: %U\n
~/gtd/diary.org date-tree)
I also discovered you can add a property to a heading
namely the :DATE_TREE: property, then the remember filing is done
here. The documentation didnt tell me how to set the property value
so I used t.
* Project File
** Daily work log
:PROPERTIES:
:DATE_TREE: t
:END:
*** 2010
2010-06 June
* 2010-06-09 Wednesday
** This is my heading
Added: [2010-06-09 Wed 11:20]
Overall, this is a very useful feature of Remember mode
to make a versatile electronic diary/journal.
Well done! Maybe I will write a short tutorial.

I have looked at the Tracking TODO state changes documentation in section 5.3.2 and this style of logging would be good.

[Orgmode] Python script to generate a daily diary/journal
I wanted to create the equivalent of a yearly diary with space for recording notes on each day. I used to use paper diaries with the week number and day number written on each page. I already have a system using Remember to record notes with date/time stamps but this script generates a file with a specific structure. First of all, here is part of the output * July 2009 ** Wed [2009-07-01 Wed] Week 27 - Day 182 ** Thu [2009-07-02 Thu] Week 27 - Day 183 ** Fri [2009-07-03 Fri] Week 27 - Day 184 ** Sat [2009-07-04 Sat] Week 27 - Day 185 ** Sun [2009-07-05 Sun] Week 27 - Day 186 ** Week 28 - Mon [2009-07-06 Mon] Week 28 - Day 187 Some useful features of this format: 1. Clicking on a date takes you to the agenda for that day 2. You can search for a particular day number, namely search for Day 150 3. You can search for a particular week, namely search for Week 23 4. The outline can be collapsed to a month. This allows included monthly notes under the month headline. 5. Each month shows all the days of the month and each week stands out because the headline is deliberately longer. Here is the script. Run the script and capture the output in a file, eg diary2009.org import datetime # datetime documented at http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html # Set yor diary start date on the line below theday = datetime.date(2009, 1, 1) for i in range(0, 380): iso_info = theday.isocalendar() weektag = if theday.day == 1: print * %s %d % (theday.strftime(%B), theday.year) if theday.weekday() == 0: weektag = Week %2d - % iso_info[1] print ** %s%-3s [%04d-%02d-%02d %3s] % (weektag, theday.strftime(%a), theday.year, theday.month, theday.day, theday.strftime(%a)) print Week %s - Day %s % (iso_info[1], theday.strftime(%j)) theday = theday + datetime.timedelta(days = 1) ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] I just discovered the clone subtree command
I am reading the Org-mode Release 6.27a manual to learn new things. and just discovered the C-c C-x c (clone subtree) command. This makes copies of a tree and inserts them as siblings. The command prompts you for the number of copies to make. The really useful feature is to update dates according to a pattern. Here is an example of creating headings for each of the next six months: Start with this: ** First of the month *** July SCHEDULED: 2009-07-01 Wed Position the cursor to the beginning of the line *** July then issue the C-c C-x c Answer the question Number of clones to produce: with 6 Next question is Date shift per clone (e.g. +1w, empty to copy unchanged): Answer it +1m and the tree looks like: *** July SCHEDULED: 2009-07-01 Wed *** July SCHEDULED: 2009-08-01 Sat *** July SCHEDULED: 2009-09-01 Tue *** July SCHEDULED: 2009-10-01 Thu *** July SCHEDULED: 2009-11-01 Sun *** July SCHEDULED: 2009-12-01 Tue *** July SCHEDULED: 2010-01-01 Fri Now you just have to change the occurrences of July to the real month names!

[Orgmode] A brief reference to org-mode in my presentation on Auto Focus Task Management System
I created a presentation on the Auto Focus Task Management system and made brief reference to how I used org-mode as part of my project planning and scheduling. You can view the presentation here: http://www.slideshare.net/charles_in_oz/auto-focus-1543619 When I first learnt about this system I played around with using org-mode to implement it, but found the pen and paper solutions was best.

Here is the article (and source code) http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/GTD/orgnode.html This is an example of what the module can do: import Orgnode nodelist = Orgnode.makelist(newgtd.org) print \n- PROJECT LIST for node in nodelist: if node.Tag() == PROJECT: print [ ], node.Heading() I hope the module is of interest to Python programmers!

[Orgmode] My Python solution to generating unique Ids in headlines
Recently I asked about a method of inserting a unique number in a headline. My requirement is to be able to uniquely identify a particular headline when exporting data to another system (ListPro on Palm/Windows). I settled on using a small Python script, since I am not a Lisp programmer. 1. I created a text file todononum.txt which contains the next number to use. 2. I created the following script to read this file, return the next available number formatted in a unique, easy to find string, for example [#310]. # script next_todo.py import sys nextnum_file = C:/charles/gtd/todonum.txt try: f = open(nextnum_file, 'r') except IOError: print Unable to open %s. Program terminating. % nextnum_file sys.exit(1) val = int(f.readline()) + 1 f.close() of = open(nextnum_file, 'w') of.write(%d\n % val) of.close() print [#%s] % val 3. I created a one line batch file nextnum.bat (I'm on Windows!) containing: python c:/charles/gtd/next_todo.py 4. In org-mode I insert the unique id by positioning the cursor at the end of the headline text, then entering the command ESC-1 ESC-! nextnum RET Ctl-D The Ctrl D is needed to remove a carriage return (not sure why it is there. Can someone give me Lisp code equivalent of the command sequene above? I know it is something to do with (shell command ) The end result now looks like *** Post to org-mode list about next sequential [#315] :COMPUTER: Once I have Lisp code to implement the command sequence I will have a satisfactory solution to generating the unique id when I need it. --- Charles Cave Sydney, NSW, Australia Email: charles_c...@optusnet.com.au Follow me on Twitter: www.twitter.com/ozcaveman --- ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Nick Dokos nicholas.dokos at hp.com writes: Try import sys sys.stdout.write([%d] % val) Thanks. That works fine. (shell-command nextnum t) This worked fine. It may be necessary to specify a complete path to the command. I diodnt need to because the .BAT file was in a directory which is part of the PAHT list. By the way, I had to include a beginning line of @ECHO OFF in the bat file. But I still don't understand why you need an external program: what is wrong with (insert (format [%s] (org-id-new)))? Are the IDs too ugly or is there some other problem? I'm struggling to find documentation or installing and using org-id. I added the line (require 'org-id) to my .eamcs file then discovered a variable to customise the method to internal or to use an external command uuidgen which doesnt exist on Windows. How do I change the name of the external command from uuidgent to nextnum The trouble with unique IDs in files is that it's easy for them to get out of sync (leading to non-uniqueness), e.g. if there are two processes trying to get a unique id at the same time.

[Orgmode] Remember string prompt won't accept spaces %^{Prompt text}
I have set up Remember with org-mode and found that the prompt
directive doesn't allow spaces in the input.
This is the directive (to capture Internet banking
receipts) .
'((Receipt ?r ** %^{BriefDesc} %U %^g\n%? ~/GTD/GTD/finances.org)
After I issue the command C-c r and choose r (for Receipt)
I see the new window for Remember filled in like this:
** [2008-01-01 Tue 21:02] %^g
%?
And in the minibuffer, a prompt:
BriefDesc:
As soon as I type a space I get a message [No Match].
Why can't I enter a space? I am running org-mode 5.17a
on GNU Emacs 22.1.1 on Windows XP.
Thanks

[Orgmode] Feature request - add a new heading with a lower level than current
org-mode has the feature of entering M-RET to insert a heding with the same level as current. I would like a command to enter a new headline at a level BELOW the current headline. The command key binding could be a modificaton to M-RET maybe adding the ctl or shift key. The reason for this functionality is when using org-mode for brainstorming. I want to quickly add more than one child heading to the current heading. Adding the first child heading is slower because I have to do a M-RET backspace backspace asterisk (*) space the continue. The next headline is added with a M-RET. Mindmapping programs call this a Rapid Fire brainstorming. If someone coud suggest how to modify the org-el code to do so this would be great. I found references to overriding the self-insert-command function but couldn find how M-Ret is implemented.

I am writing a tutorial on org-mode and dates and was exploring the C-c and C-c commands. I am not sure how they are meant to be used, so I am asking list members who uses these functions?

[Orgmode] How I run org-agenda -csv to create data for my ListPro program
I wanted to show how I use the org-batch-agenda-csv command
to create a file to import into the ListPro program
that I run on my Palm M515 handheld.
ListPro is from http://www.iliumsoft.com
In my .emacs file I have this helper function:
(defun org-csv-agenda ()
(org-batch-agenda-csv H)
)
The H refers to a prestored command:
(H Home NA Lists
((agenda)
(tags-todo HOME)
(tags-todo COMPUTER)
(tags-todo OFFICE)
(tags-todo DVD)
(tags-todo READING)
I run a Perl script agen2lpro.pl that runs the helper function,
captures the comma-separated output into a file, then processes
this file to create a tab-delimited file for importing into ListPro.
I manage my lists on the Palm and synchronise back to my Windows
Machine. The ListPro list can be exported to a tab delimited
and processed with another Perl script, but I don't attempt to
do any updating of the original org-mode file marking completed
items, but that is planned for the future.
Here is the Perl script
use strict;
use warnings;
my $emacs_exe = \D:\\Program
Files\\emacs_22\\emacs-22.1\\bin\\emacs.exe\;
my $work_file = agenwork.txt;
print Create CSV file using Emacs\n;
my $cmd = system($emacs_exe --batch -l c:/homes/charles/.emacs -f
org-csv-agenda $work_file);
print $work_file (workfile) Created.\nProcessing ...\n;
# The output of this script is a tab delimited file to import
# into ListPro. The fields are
#
# Description
# Category (OFFICE, HOME, DVD, or READING)
# Date - Either the scheduled date or blank.
# DateLoaded - Todays date in month and day format in order to
# identify Listpro items that originated from org-mode
my $listpro = listpro.txt;
open (my $fv, , $work_file) or die Could not open $work_file: $!\n;
open (my $of, , $listpro) or die Could not create $listpro: $!\n;
my @ltime = localtime();
my $datestring = sprintf(%d%d , $ltime[4] + 1, $ltime[3] );
print Version string $datestring\n;
my ($category, $headline, $type, $todo, $tags, $date, $time, $extra,
$priority_l, $priority_n);
while($fv) {
chomp;

}

}

[Orgmode] org-mode to LaTeX export
There have been a few discussions on a facility for org-mode to export a buffer
into LaTeX. I was wondering what is the planned scope of this work?
I would like to be able to write an article in org-mode then create a LaTeX
document
using the following transformations which should be configurable:
Headings
*
**
***
and so on should be converted to the appropriate {chapter} {section} tags
*bold* /italic/ markup should be tagged
Lists, numbered and unnumbered be converted into the appropriate LaTeX
structures.
I wrote a Perl script to do most of this work but I don't know enough Lisp to
write a similar program.
Who is doing the work on LaTeX export?
What features will you support?
How configurable will it be?
Many thanks
Charles
P.S. I am working on an update to my org-mode and GTD article.

Re: [Orgmode] Another GTD question.
Hi Alex, I am currently using a system that isn't that different from it, but I am trying to figure out the best way to use Org-mode for GTD. I don't think there is any best way to use GTD system or org-mode for that matter. One of the core principles of GTD is creating lists of next actions organised by context. A context is some restraint that only allows the action to be done in a particular place, time, or with particular resources. my first instinct would be to group all my work next actions under specific headlines (e.g., hardware, software, etc.) since I work in different areas. I think that is a good idea because when you review your system... the org-mode file you can use these headlines if hardware, software, etc as a checklist for the question Are there any outstanding actions on this equipment?. It's not really a context since while I am at work, I can work on any number of tasks in the different areas. The context talks about what it is I need, where I need to be, or a type of activity. Maybe I overlooked something, but it seems like another dimension to the problem. Maybe WORK is a sufficient context for your office related activities. I don't think you need to break it down any further than that. How does this relate to Org-mode? In Org-mode I see different approaches to how one could structure these lists: - Outlines - Tags - ToDo keywords - Categories (files) The lists can be structured anyway you want, but the strength of org-mode is scanning your whole file to build up a list of lines matching a tag. Organising the actions under specific category tags is extra (unnecessary) work since org-mode does it for you. Keeping the actions in context with other items may make more sense. Let me add my context tags to yourlist o Call the bank about personal statements :PHONE: o Go to post office to buy stamps :ERRANDS: o Wait for SysAdmin to finish server install :WAITING: o Hang new pictures at home :HOME: o Discuss new development process with boss :BOSS: (Create a tag for items (agenda) to discuss with your boss o Read through vendor proposal :READING: (Can this reading be done at home or on your train trip to work? Reading is one of those activities that can be done almost anywhere) o Server Install project at work:OFFICE: o Install software upgrade on laptop :OFFICE: o Learn more about font-lock in Org-mode :OFFICE: So when you are at the office, you display the tags for OFFICE. If you set up a meeting with your boss, you search for :BOSS so you get the most out of your meeting with the boss. When you are reviewing what you are waiting for, use the WAITING tag. During your lunch break, you search for ERRANDS. I am really looking forward to hear what people who are already using GTD with Org-mode suggest and hope that those how are not familiar with GTD may still find the discussion interesting. I'm still refining my system with org-mode so I am keen to hear from others on this. Charles ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

[Emacs-orgmode] Creating CD contents listings in org mode
I used to use Treepad on Windows (www.treepad.com) and wrote a Perl
module to read and write Treepad Files. These were plain text but had
extra information to define each node in the tree.
Now I use ORG mode for my outlining requirements.
Today I adapted a program to create a listing of the contents
of a CD-ROM. The program is written in Perl (not Lisp!).
I use Windows, and my CD-ROM drive is F:
I write a unique number on each CD, for example, C039
To catalogue the disk, I run the command
perl cdcat.pl C039.org F:
Now I can view the file C039.org with Emacs and expand/collapse the
directory names.
