Complex systems... :-)

Fantastic video, by the way.

%(...) expansion is executed _before_ capture template is fully
 calculated. It is generally not designed to side-effect functions.

You can instead use template-local hooks, introduced in Org 9.6. See

Both ox-beamer and ox-latex are parts of Org mode. So, there is nothing
wrong with using these internal functions - we have the control over all
parts of Org mode. If we decide to make a breaking change in any
internal function in Org mode, its users in Org source code must be
changed; be it the same file or not.

Not a bug.
Canceled.

OK, thanks for the clarification.

How to execute Lisp code /after/ a capture template has been filled before it is finalized?

[Tim Landscheidt]

Hi,

I (want to) have a capture template that fills a table and
then (re-)calculates a cell based on a formula (and aligns
the table):

| - Note taken on %U 
|   | Coin | Count
|   |---+|
|   | 0.01 | %^{Number of € 0.01 coins|0} |
|   | 0.02 | %^{Number of € 0.02 coins|0} |
|   | 0.05 | %^{Number of € 0.05 coins|0} |
|   | 0.10 | %^{Number of € 0.10 coins|0} |
|   | 0.20 | %^{Number of € 0.20 coins|0} |
|   | 0.50 | %^{Number of € 0.50 coins|0} |
|   | 1.00 | %^{Number of € 1.00 coins|0} |
|   | 2.00 | %^{Number of € 2.00 coins|0} |
|   |---+|
|   |  | |
|   #+TBLFM: @>$>=(@I$1..@II$1)*(@I$2..@II$2)

If I naively append "%(org-table-recalculate t)" to that
template, the expression gets evaluated immediately when I
start the capture and the text:

| %![Error: (user-error Not at a table)]

gets appended to the capture buffer /before/ I get prompted
for the first field.

Looking at the hooks for org-capture-mode, I also thought
about recalculating the table at finalizing the capture (*1)
and tried:

| %(progn (message "org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook = %S" 
org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook) (add-hook 'org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook 
(lambda nil (message "Hook called.")) 0 t) (message 
"org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook = %S" org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook) "")

but to my surprise, org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook is nil
prior to the add-hook call, has stored the function after
the add-hook call, but in the interactive capture buffer is
nil again (and no message is printed in *Messages*).

How can I evaluate Lisp code after all prompts have been
answered?

TIA,
Tim

(*1)   I would prefer not doing this, as in this case I
   could not see the result prior to finalizing.

[PATCH] lisp/org-agenda.el: Check agenda type earlier

[Morgan Smith]

lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-goto-date): Check agenda type earlier.
Also remove redundant error.

When this function is run on a todo agenda the user is given the
undescriptive error "(wrong-type-argument listp "todo")" because we
attempt to parse the 'org-last-args text-property prematurely.  With
this change users will get the much better error "Not allowed in
'todo'-type agenda buffer or component".

How can I use org-add-note with emacsclient?

[equal . moon0346]

Hello Org mode users,

I'm trying to figure out how to start a note (C-c C-z) on the currently clocked 
task from emacsclient. Here's what I have so far:

Start Emacs:

emacs --fg-daemon=test -Q -nw --eval "(setq-default org-agenda-files 
'(\"~/org-agenda-files\"))"

Connect to the daemon in a different terminal, load the agenda:

emacsclient -s test -nw --eval '(org-agenda nil "a")' 

^ In this frame I'll also clock in to some heading with I in the agenda. Then I 
close the terminal.

In another terminal, try to start a new note on the currently clocked task:

emacsclient -s test -nw --eval '(progn (org-clock-goto) (org-add-note))'

This seems to have no effect. Oddly, if I paste this into M-:, it works fine. 
I've tried a number of things with e.g. plain capture templates that run the 
above code :after-finalize, using call-interactively, etc. After a cursory 
reading through the info manual on interactivity I find I'm still a bit lost. 
Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong and hopefully point me to the right 
manual page to read on this?

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Moon
