Nice. Didn't know about adaptive-wrap mode. I had tried visual-fill-column-mode

Chuck, thanks for responding.

I've never had the never-export set. I'll try to go back and pinpoint
when the change shows up if I can.

Is the difference between named session and without it expected? With
the named session, the block is executed on export, and without it, it
is not executed!

[O] org-mode export behavior change in 9.2?

[Haider Rizvi]

I've been using literate programming approach with org-babel for a
while. I just noticed that with 9.2, when I try to export (c-c c-e h
o) an org doc / section, any shell blocks with a named session are
executed as it is exporting to html!

I don't think it was this way before?  Is there a way to not have it
execute each shell block when trying to export.

I just tested it with this small .org document. On osx, /usr/bin/say
speaks out the arguments.

-
#+begin_src shell :session sh-pcnw3
/usr/bin/say something # say it out loud!
#+end_src
-

Without the :session, it doesn't!

[O] Bug: org-capture-templates issues

[Haider Rizvi]

I'm getting the following error, when trying to do an org-capture. 

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid file location: nil")
  signal(error ("Invalid file location: nil"))
  error("Invalid file location: %S" nil)
  org-capture-expand-file((concat org-directory "inbox-gtd.org"))
  org-capture-target-buffer((concat org-directory "inbox-gtd.org"))
  org-capture-set-target-location()
  org-capture(nil)

My org-capture-templates is set as follows for ages: 
(setq org-capture-templates
  '(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline  (concat org-directory 
"inbox-gtd.org") "Tasks")
 "* TODO %?\n  %i\n  %a")
 ))

org-directory: "/Users/hrizvi/Google Drive/MyDocs/org/"

With a fully qualified file-name, it works fine:

(setq org-capture-templates
  '(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline  "/Users/hrizvi/Google 
Drive/MyDocs/org/inbox-gtd.org" "Tasks")
 "* TODO %?\n  %i\n  %a")
 ))

Reading up org-capture-expand-file, it seems org-directory is
prepended automatically, but it used to work fine in the
past. Flipping back to the older code for org-capture-expand-file
works fine. So I'd say this is a bug!

Yes, well aware of the extensions issue. Since I had no solution, I

less extensions, only adblock and https-everywhere right now on
Conkeror. But then I have a lot of stuff in javascript!

Glad keysnail is working, I may have to look at it as a backup

I could never get into zotero, when I tried last. I use a combination

You probably know this, but  you can write a function and assign a
key for this to make life a bit easier.

//  open in Firefox 
function open_in_firefox (url, window) {
var cmd_str = 'open -a firefox '+url;
if (window != null) {
window.minibuffer.message('Issuing ' + cmd_str);
 }
shell_command_blind(cmd_str);
}

interactive("firefox", "Send url to Firefox",
  function (I) {
  open_in_firefox(I.buffer.display_uri_string, I.window);
  });
define_key(content_buffer_normal_keymap, "f5", "firefox");

[O] Intermittent issues with hyperlinks in org docs

[Haider Rizvi]

Lately, I have a problem with hyperlinks in org-mode. Wondering if
anyone has seen this issue.

From time to time, some hyperlinks in an org document show up as if
they are regular text, instead of a collapsed hyperlink. So the
following just shows as plain text:

[[https://news.google.com/news][Google News]]

instead of showing up as a collapsed hyperlink as it should: 

Google News

At this time, only a few hyperlinks in the doc behave this way, and if
I go to the link above and edit something (e.g, add a space at the
end, etc.) it collapses immediately.

I am running org-mode from melpa-stable:
Org-mode version 8.2.7c (8.2.7c-57-g37bf05-elpa @ 
/usr/local/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-24.3-mac-4.8/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/)
GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of 2013-03-13 
on bob.porkrind.org

Anyone seen this, or have a hint on where can I look. It may very well
in something in my init, but I haven't changed much re: org settings
for a while.

I did a quick test with the base Emacs, no init files, and the default
org-mode drop:

Org-mode version 7.9.3f (release_7.9.3f-17-g7524ef @ 
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/)

Didn't see the same issue immediately.

Re: [O] Get links from Firefox/Safari into orgmode

That's correct.

 browser = emacs

Probably the best is to use an Applescript like below, and save it in
~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Safari. You can kick off this
Applescript using a variety of methods (Quicksilver, menu bar, etc.)

http://www.tuaw.com/2006/08/08/tuaw-tip-enable-the-applescript-menu/


tell application Safari
set theUrl to URL of document 1
set theName to the name of the document 1
set theOrglink to [[  theUrl  ][  theName  ]]
set the clipboard to theOrglink
end tell

activate application Emacs

-- this last bit is iffy, since Emacs will not always have an org file
--  open in the frame that pops up. 
tell application System Events
keystroke y using control down
end tell

Hope this helps.

 I've been having some serious issues with the vanilla Cocoa Emacs lately

 distnoted and put the CPU usage at 100% every hour or so.

Interesting, because with the Emacs (from emacsforosx.com), I have
been hitting 100% cpu problem again and again lately. I had tried out
this port, but I hit 2 issues and put it aside:

- with the same theme (solarized-dark), the background with the
railwaycat port is darker!  minor issue, of course. 
- gnus (when trying to access nntps servers with gnutls) gets
stuck. I'll need to debug that, unless someone has a trick up their
sleeve.

I may just give it a try for my regular work, I run gnus in a
different Emacs, so that can continue to run on the other port.
