I would find it useful Org updating the statistics cookies after all relevant
Org editing commands even if the cookies are not updated after non-Org commands
(e.g.  C-w, C-y).

I imagined it would be a relatively quick task.  Maybe my assumption was wrong.
I still write this follow-up email, and possibly other follow-ups if
appropriate, but in the end I understand that the developers tend to have a
better picture than me of the cost/benefit of potential new features.

I sent the profiler report below.  But still, the requested feature would be
more convenient.

That would satisfy me.  But a question: I normally configure hooks via calls to
add-hook and am satisfied with it, but I worry about newbies: can hooks be
safely configured via Customize?  What if the hook is empty by default for the
current Org version, then the user customizes it to
('#org-update-statistics-cookies), then the next Org version adds another
function to the default value of the hook, and this is not reflected in the
user's configuration, which would remain just
('#org-update-statistics-cookies)?  They would be deprived of the benefits of
the new function and would not even know about it.

Now the profiling report of C-u C-c # in a 192 kB buffer, with a large number
of statistics cookies and

I don't think we should do that. This would slow down many commands.
Also we cannot cover all uses cases (e.g., selecting a tree, C-w, C-y
elsewhere) so we cannot guarantee that cookies are always up-to-date, so
you ultimately need to intervene manually.

Org provides automatic updating for obvious actions, as explained in the
manual. Doing more would be much work for little benefit.

We could try to improve speed when updating cookies in a whole buffer.
A detailed profiler report in your situation could help. 

Also, we could add more hooks, if needed, so as to call
`org-update-statistics-cookies' more often.

Yeah, I have wished for this myself.  It would probably work without too
much overhead to advise the outline-manipulating functions to call
org-update-statistics-cookies afterward.  There might be a few other
functions to advise also to get more complete coverage.

[O] Bug: Feature request: more automatic updating of cookies [8.3.6 (8.3.6-4-g4835be-elpaplus @ /home/jorge/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20160926/)]

2016-09-27 Thread Jorge 
Paste the following in an Org buffer:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
* Cookie_a [0/0]
* TODO Dummy_a
* Cookie_b [0/1]
** TODO Dummy_b
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Within that buffer:
   1. Move point to the line of Dummy_a.
   2. 
I wished the cookie to be updated to [0/1] but it is not.

Then:
   1. Move point to the line of Dummy_b.
   2. C-c C-x C-w
   3. Move point to the line of Dummy_a at column 0.
   4. C-c C-x C-y
I wished both cookies to be updated.  They are not.

The manual [[info:org#Checkboxes][says]]:
Checkbox statistic cookies are updated automatically if you toggle
checkboxes with `C-c C-c' and make new ones with `M-S-'.  TODO
statistics cookies update when changing TODO states.  If you delete
boxes/entries or add/change them by hand, use this command to get things
back into sync.

I request the feature of Org automatically updating cookies when using
structure editing commands such as C-c C-x C-w, C-c C-x C-y, ,
 and friends.  This could be governed by a user option.

The point is that C-u C-c # (to update cookies in the entire buffer) takes
long enough that I only call it a few times per week.  This means that cookies
can get out of sync.  Then I try to remember manually invoking C-c # on the
relevant line every time it goes out of sync, but I sometimes omit it.
