[BUG] warning message for straight-use-package [9.6 (9.6-gb2adb6 @ /Users/stephen/.emacs.d/straight/build/org/)]
Hi, I use straight.el for package management, and a recent package (I think it was todoist.el) pulled in org-mode. This then caused the warning about mismatch between the org-mode in Emacs and the one from the repo. I read the *Warning* and in particular this bit: -- 3. New Org version is loaded using straight.el package manager and other package depending on Org is loaded before straight triggers loading of the newer Org version. It is recommended to put (straight-use-package ’org) early in the config. Ideally, right after the straight.el -- so I copied the elisp straight into .emacs. This then generated an error, because the symbol 'org had been copied across as ’org. Checking the source, I see line 77 of org-macs.el has (straight-use-package 'org) so I'm not sure what the fix is, but does anyone have any ideas on providing a warning that uses the correct quote character?

Exporting diary-sexps into icalendar file
hi, I have a simple file, notes.org, with the following content. (This is the example from the org mode manual). -- * 22:00-23:00 The nerd meeting on every 2nd Thursday of the month <%%(diary-float t 4 2)> -- and this entry then appears once/month in the org agenda, as expected. However, when I export to ics, the notes.ics file is effectively empty: -- BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 X-WR-CALNAME:notes PRODID:-//Stephen Eglen//Emacs with Org mode//EN X-WR-TIMEZONE:BST X-WR-CALDESC: CALSCALE:GREGORIAN END:VCALENDAR -- I have org-icalendar-include-sexps set to t Any clues what could be going wrong?

Moving to a literate file for .emacs
I see many users are switching to using a 'literate programming' approach to tangling their .emacs file from an org file. Has anyone solved the following problem though? If I have a file called config.org containing: * test #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun quick-test () "interactive" (* 3 9) ) #+end_src and then in my .emacs file I do: (org-babel-load-file "~/config.org") quick-test is indeed defined, but when I do C-c f RET quick-test RET it takes me to config.el (a tangled file, suitable for computers, not humans), rather than config.org. Is it possible instead to get the editor to jump to the definition in config.org? Stephen

Bug: specifying end time of date as +0:20 [9.4.4 (release_9.4.4 @ /usr/local/share/emacs/28.0.50/lisp/org/)]
Hi, I'm trying to understand the syntax (e.g. ‘11am+2:15’) for specifying the end time of an event, from (info "(org)The date/time prompt") It works okay if I do org-deadline with 11am+2:15 * test 3 DEADLINE: <2021-05-09 Sun 11:00-13:15> but if I do 11pm+2:15 then it gets confused: * test 4 DEADLINE: <2021-05-09 Sun 23:00-25:15> and when I next call the agenda, I get an error: org-duration-to-minutes: Invalid duration format: "+1:15" Also, I couldn't see any mention in the documentation of org-agenda-default-appointment-duration -- is that worth mentioning in the node, e.g. after ‘11am+2:15’ ⇒ same as above "If you do not specify an end time, then you can provide a default duration by setting org-agenda-default-appointment-duration."

[O] ical export issues
Hi everyone, I routinely export my diary entries to an ics file on the web so that google calendar can display them. This normally works well, although it is well known that the google calendar can take many hours before updating the calendar. Has anyone got any neater approaches for keeping their org mode calendar items in sync with google? I've looked at org-gcal but I think I'm missing something (https://github.com/myuhe/org-gcal.el/issues/68) and there don't seem to be any reliable command line tools for syncing an .ics file with google that work under OAuth2. p.s. a small issue, but when I passed the org-generated .ics file through a validator, http://severinghaus.org/projects/icv/ it noted that: Your calendar is using an invalid newline format. Make sure to use \r\n to end lines rather than just \n (RFC 2445 §4.1). This doesn't seem to prevent google parsing the file though. Stephen

[O] Repeating timestamp with interval N times
Hi, I'd like to write a timestamp like: ** Weekly office hour <2015-10-08 Thu 11:00-12:00 +1w> but instead of having it occur every week until the end of time(!), I'd like it repeated N (=8) here. I can't see how to do this easily, am I missing something? I could use `org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift' but ideally I'd like something concise like: <2015-10-08 Thu 11:00-12:00 8+1w> Is this likely to be feasible? I can submit a patch if it is and someone points me in the right direction. Or, do I need to refer to some sexp magic "DIARY-STYLE SEXP ENTRIES"? I can see how to fix it by extending diary-cyclic to include the parameter specifying the max number of repeats. Thanks, Stephen

Re: [O] Reading calendars in org mode: what is the best solution?
On Thu, Dec 19 2013, Alan Schmitt wrote: I would like to have a read-only version of my calendars in my org agenda. These calendars (10 of them) currently live in Zimbra and iCould, and I am accessing them both using the native Calendar application on OS X and on my (Android) phone. I've looked at what the options are, and I can find two of them: - convert ics files into org files (http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-google-sync.html) - set up a synchronization using caldav (https://github.com/dengste/org-caldav) Have you seen https://github.com/asoroa/ical2org.py I started using this about a week ago, and like it. One strength compared to the worg entry is that it handles (some) recurring events. My approach is to download the .ics file and then run this python script. There is also a ruby script: https://github.com/simonthum/ical2org but I couldn't get this to work correctly with British Summer Time, despite help from the author. (The python script seems to handle the timezones okay for me.) Stephen
Re: [O] Handling Repeating events from google calendar / repeater interval
sorry the patch was incomplete. The correct one is on a branch I just pushed named tz-test. For me it works the same but maybe it works for you. Thanks Simon, but unfortuantely I'm still seeing [UTC]. Stephen
Re: [O] Handling Repeating events from google calendar / repeater interval
Yes, org-mode does not recognize the [UTC], that is just a helper for exactly this case: The ical's timezone is emitted in case it is different from your DEFAULT_TZ. For me it worked fine so far. Thanks. res = orgTimeSpan(tstart, tend, repeaterClause) for res = orgTimeSpan(tstart.ruby_value, tend.ruby_value, repeaterClause) Thanks very much Simon, but when I do that, I get: undefined method `ruby_value' for #DateTime:0x0001d0e700 [/local/data/home/stephen/langs/ruby/ical2org/ical2org.rb:126:in `orgTimeSpanTZ', Stephen
Re: [O] Handling Repeating events from google calendar / repeater interval
It's not exactly answering your question but my little tool https://github.com/simonthum/ical2org Thanks, this is a nice workaround, it just worked well on my google calendar import. Should we add a link to this on http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-google-sync.html (how do I edit that?) Is there a typo in the install section of the doc? I had to do gem install ri_cal (rather than rical)? Would still be interested though in thoughts about finite repeater intervals. Stephen
Re: [O] Handling Repeating events from google calendar / repeater interval
Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm afraid that pure AWK does not provide date computation support. That's why I did not implement this. okay, it does sound like a lot to ask awk to do. So I would definitely vote to extend the repeater syntax with a count. great. I assume that your initial example RRULE would require either ...4+1d or +1d:4 Yes, thanks. Stephen
[O] Handling Repeating events from google calendar / repeater interval
I'm experimenting using ical2org.sh to import google calendars. One limitation, as noted in the header is: # - does process RRULE recurring events, but ignores COUNT specifiers so if you have a repeating event in google (e.g. every day for four week), the ics file has: RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;COUNT=4 The script will take the first day of the event, but not the remaining three days. I think this could be solved in a couple of ways: 1. create four events, moving the date by one each time. 2. extending the syntax of timestamps so that something like: * Pick up Sam at school 2007-05-16 Wed 12:30 3+1w means repeat this event 3 times (rather than indefinitely). Or +1w:3 or something similar, I don't mind the syntax as long as it doesn't break other parts of timestamps. Has extending the syntax of the repeater interval been considered to allow finite number of repeats? I can offer to code something up for consideration if this sounds sensible. Thanks, Stephen

Re: [O] org-caldav: Sync Org with external calendars through CalDAV (Owncloud, Google, ...)
It's bug: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2012-07/msg00674.html Not sure if that fix is in 24.2, but surely the latest pretest for 24.3 should work (which is pretty stable). Thanks David; indeed, its working fine now in the 24.2.90 pretest that was recently released. I'm still wondering why it didn't work at the beginning. I mean, even if you had your Google username set in some .netrc or .authinfo, the password should still work? The problem (I think) was that I had a misformatted .netrc with a username in it that I thought was just for one machine, but must have been for all machines! Removing that .netrc file solved my problem, thanks. Stephen

For the record: I also found learning Org mode quite challenging, and I consider myself a diehard Emacs person. I guess if you were to ask me what I found difficult, was that it was quite overwhelming knowing where to start. (So I started small by learning the agenda features...)

[O] MobileOrg for Android question about calendar integration
Hi, I love the new MobileOrg Android app, especially the Calendar integration. A quick question: if I sync on the android app, I see new org agenda items in the phone's Calendar. Do those items sync back from my phone to appear also on the web at google.com/calendar? For now, my org-generated items are on the phone, but not the web application. Thanks, Stephen
Re: [O] MobileOrg for Android question about calendar integration
As long as that calendar is set to sync then it will pull them into the web based Google Calendar service. The way that I made sure this would happen is to create the calendar from the web interface and then make sure that is synced to the phone... then go into the MobileOrg settings a select that calendar specifically. It all works like a champ... let me know if you have any issues with it. Thanks Matt, I've got it working now. (I created a new calendar just for MobileOrg, and then the syncing worked a charm.)

[O] Bug: exporting ical files from read-only buffers [7.8.03 (release_7.8.03.112.g8861)]
I've found a small bug with exporting ical files from read-only org buffers. Create a simple buffer, e.g.: * test1 2012-01-12 Thu and then hit C-x C-q to make the buffer read-only. Then do C-c C-e i to export an ical file. You get an error that the buffer is read-only. I think this is due to the call to org-refresh-category-properties, which can't update text proprties. My workaround is to do: (setq inhibit-read-only nil) so that text properties can be added to read-only buffers. This could be done locally within the ical export functions if others thought sensible, for which I can send a patch if desired.

Re: [O] Bug: exporting ical files from read-only buffers [7.8.03 (release_7.8.03.112.g8861)]
Could this be done more generally? I think I've run into this for other export targets as well, although it may be my memory that is faulty here. I use RCS for version control for standalone files and often have files read-only from which I want to export. I also use RCS, which is how I got caught out today (trying to set up Eric's neat guide for gettting org-ical- google calendar; thanks for that Eric.) Before sending the bug, I tried exporting to pdf, which worked fine; what other exporters do you use? Stephen
Re: [O] Rsquared for reproductible research
I recognized your name, Stephen, as the long-time maintainer of the Emacs Lisp List--thanks for that too. Are you envisioning a repository beyond Emacs Lisp List for OrgMode implementations and/or Babel examples. I am interested in maintaining a collection of nice org-babel-R examples, given my interest in R and Emacs; I made a small start last year for my tutorial notes on ESS for the useR meeting, but I'd like to update that. The key problem I found with learning org-babel was worked examples, given that the syntax was changing rapidly. I hope that has now stabilised, and I should followup with Eric about this. (I also hope to kill off the Emacs Lisp List once the ELPA has taken off.) Also, I very much agree that a near exact replica of the http:// rsquared.stat.uni-muenchen.de/index.rhtml for OrgMode would be great. Yes! Any takers?!? http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/roxygen/index.html Note that ESS has limited support for editing roxygen tags. Stephen
Re: [O] Rsquared for reproductible research
The syntax is now stabilized (we wanted to get this sorted before the final Emacs24 merge). That which is currently described in the manual is and should remain the proper Org-mode code block syntax. Thanks Eric, this is great news. I'll ensure my examples from last year still work with the current org-mode syntax. For many small examples, please see [1] which I (unfortunately) haven't That's a nice site, thanks! From looking at the fairly terse web site for R^2 it is not clear to me exactly what the system includes (I'm sure I'm missing something obvious). It seems to be the addition of a packaging system over-top of R source files. What would a potential Org-mode based system provide which is not already possible with Org-mode text files, Org-mode publishing and a version control repository. The accompanying paper from 2011 goes into detail as to what it does. But in essence, the website is supposed to be 'neutral', in that it is not your local system. A document may compile on my system, but not for others, because it depends on my local configuration. Having a neutral system will avoid such problems. A neutral system could also have support for all babel languages, so that I can use it to compile someone's document without e.g. having a common-lisp compiler on my system. Perhaps the benefit would simply be a system which eases the integration of Org, publishing, version control, and possibly automatic Makefile creation with tasks like publish, clean etc... yes, that too! best wishes, Stephen

In case you don't know: Literate Haskell files (ending with .lhs) come
in two flavors: bird style and latex style. In bird style every line
is a comment unless it has '' in the first column. And in latex style
code blocks are surround with \begin{code} and \end{code}. Haskell
implementations do not care what is in the non-code parts. So, I'd
like to use org markup and especially the editing features of

Stephen `i (`org-agenda-diary-entry')' Insert a new entry into the diary, using the date at the cursor and (for block entries) the date at the mark. This will add to the Emacs diary file(3), in a way similar to the `i' command in the calendar. The diary file will pop up in another window, where you can add the entry. If you configure `org-agenda-diary-file' to point to an Org-mode file, Org will create entries (in org-mode syntax) in that file instead. Most entries will be stored in a date-based outline tree that will later make it easy to archive appointments from previous months/years. The tree will be built under an entry with a `DATE_TREE' property, or else with years as top-level entries. Emacs will prompt you for the entry text--if you specify it, the entry will be created in `org-agenda-diary-file' without further interaction. If you directly press RET at the prompt without typing text, the target file will be shown in another window for you to finish the entry there. See also the `k r' command.

Re: [O] cleaning all the #+results from an org document
If you don't want the results to be produced at all, you can always use the babel header option[1] :results silent. Thanks Suvayu, I'm gradually learning about all the various ways output can be exported vs shown in the org buffer. Am I right in understanding that :results silent just affects whether or not output is written into the .org buffer, not whether it is exported or not (e.g. into html?) Stephen

[O] Re: zotero (or mendeley) integration with org
Agreed. Google Scholar citations need very close proofreading, as they can be erroneous or poorly formatted. Thanks Matt - I'd agree with this, having seen oddities from google scholar. I emailed them ages ago about one problem (formatting of initials in author names), but never heard back... it is a pity that there is no mechanism for tidying up their references, as it seems to be the best thing out there that covers all the fields. Having said that, if google scholar can save me some typing, I'll happilyuse it as a starting point for a bibtex entry. I've just started using pdfmeat -- this is nice, as given a pdf, it outputs the corresponding bibtex entry from google scholar. Probably works similar to the way zotero does it, but can be used straight from the command line: http://code.google.com/p/pdfmeat/ (Warning: I couldn't get one of the python dependencies, unidecode, to work on mac, but it does work on ubuntu for me.) accessed by bibsnarf are limited to math and sciences. Since I use biblatex together with the Chicago Manual of Style, any bibtex entry I clip has to be edited and tweaked substantially. (Indeed, manual editing is unavoidable when using biblatex.) If its not too tangential, why do you use biblatex -- is it the future for bibtex? Thanks for summarising your workflow, very helpful. Stephen

Dear all, Thanks for the informative replies.

I appreciate that sql may scale better, but I don't have huge databases. I think I'll continue to watch how the zotero standalone develops. In the meantime, it made me think a bit more about looking after pdf collections. I'll try out using org mode for annotating my pdfs, to see how that works.

[Orgmode] Re: A mail client that is org-mode compatible
Hi every one, I would like to move to an emacs mail client that may be org-mode and MIME compatible. Have you any idea ? I switched to using MH-E (from VM) a couple of years ago. I did try GNUS but found it a bit too overwhelming. Overall, I'm happy with MH-E -- I like that it comes wiht Emacs, and so the code tends to be actively maintained, which was not the case for VM. (However, VM is now under new developers, so you may find it works better.) The search engine mairix works well too with MH-E. Org knows about MH-E in that for example, org-store-link works when you are reading a message in MH-E.

[Orgmode] window rearrangements when exporting to pdf
I've found the following odd behaviour in windows being re-arranged within a frame. It is not bothering me too much (yet), but I thought I'd report it in case others see it. If I start emacs, and maximise it on my desktop machine, it is wide enough to allow two full windows side-by-side (i.e. left-to-right) when I do C-x 3. (window-width) reports 103 in each window. If I view say *scratch* in my left window, and an org buffer in the right window, then do C-c C-e, the org buffer is then shown in the left window, and the temp buffer (*Org Export/Publishing Help*) appears in the right window. So, the org buffer temporarily switches from left to right. When I then hit say 'd' to complete the export (to tex-pdf), the original window configuration (*scratch* in left, org in right) returns. Is this desired behaviour? It seems a little odd that the org buffer would be pushed temporarily into a different window whilst the help is displayed. I would expect the help buffer to appear in the left window. (If I start with the org buffer in the left window, the temp buffer appears in the right window, as expected.)

Dear all, Has anyone recently used org-beamer to write lecture notes? I'm now updating my lecture notes on a R course, which previously I wrote in latex with beamer. I'm intrigued by the possibility of using org mode directly, although I am yet to be convinced whether it will be any easier than using auctex directly. Has anyone written a set of lecture notes recently in org mode, to persuade me? For example, see http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/eglen/emacs/beamer.txt for how I set up emacs with beamer, so that e.g. the table of contents feature from reftex-toc works. Also, I have auctex set up so that C-M-x sends the current slide to latex for processing, so that I can just see how the current slide gets typeset rather than recompiling the whole document. Can I process just the current slide in org mode?

[Orgmode] Re: Google calendar to org mode script and a feature request for agenda
does not get exported as a timed event. Obviously, the easy solution is to put the time in the date stamp. However, I like using the insert diary function in the agenda view for defining appointments and this doesn't allow the time to be specified other than in a headline. Would it be possible to enhance the insert diary function to prompt for a time (and while we're at it, tags as well)? hi Eric, I had a similar request, and we worked out a solution to this a while ago. In the agenda, try 'i d', and then type something like '11:00-11:45 Seminar with Bob', and the code should parse out the timestamp as long as you have the following variable set to t: (setq org-agenda-insert-diary-extract-time t) Stephen ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Dear all, As the author of iswitchb, I was very happy to see M-x org-iswitchb included. Further, it is recommended as a default keybinding in the manual: -- 1.3 Activation == ...

I eventually found that I needed to set either of the following variables to t so that this would work: org-completion-use-iswitchb, org-completion-use-ido These variables are not mentioned in the docstrings of either org-iswitchb or org-icompleting-read.

hi Matt, When I enter the time of day after typing i d, the time of day is added to the timestamp (as above) but is *not* removed the headline. E.g., Day entry: 9:00am go shopping [RET] ...results in the following headline... * 9:00am go shopping 2010-03-17 Wed 09:00 that's odd; I just tried that and got: *** go shopping 2010-03-17 Wed 09:00 which then shows in the agenda as: agenda: 9:00.. go shopping I'd be curious to know whether others can duplicate this bug. me too! Do you get any better behaviour if you just put 9:00 or 09:00? Would be good to resolve this in case there is a bug lurking elsewhere... Might I request an independent variable for this? While I would like the agenda to scan my headlines for time of day specifications (and thus have org-agenda-search-headline-for-time set to t), I am not sure I want org-agenda-add-entry-to-org-agenda-diary-file to alter the information I enter at the Day entry: prompt. Certainly I'd be in agreement with that, as I don't want to jump on others preferences. Currently, org-agenda.el has (l 7079) (if org-agenda-search-headline-for-time to check whether we should extract the time; how about if I replaced it with a variable called org-agenda-extract-time-from-entry which defaults to nil so this behaviour is normally off?
