See my answer to point 1. 4. Batch mode: It would be nice to have an option to kick off a batch background process to do the conversion. For big documents, it isn't really practical to wait till it's been converted. Well, why do you think you have to wait? Go on with your work and eventually the *DocView* buffer pops up. (That's much better in the current version now.) 5. Dired key: It would be nice to have a defcustom value that would specify a dired map key that would call doc-view on a file (with a new doc-view function that doesn't prompt for the file name).

[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi Tamas, So it's an adaptive candidate sorter which learns which candidates you select frequently and makes them more accessible for you. Currently, the history of selections is stored and used per source, so for example a different entry is stored when something is selected from the File Name History or Recentf and such stored entries are used only when sorting File Name History or Recentf, respectively. I vaguely remember there was some reason why I selected history handling by source, but now I don't really know what's the advantage. Shouldn't selection history be stored by type instead, so that for example a selection from any file providing source would contribute to the common knowledge of what files one selects most frequently? What do you think? I think that would make sense. But how would you go with sources that don't have a type field?

Re: ;;; anything.el --- open anything
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I think that would make sense. But how would you go with sources that don't have a type field? I plan to generalize source attributes, so that type would be a fallback for those attributes which are not specified by the source. So, for example, instead of using anything-candidate-transformers, candidate transformation would be a simple source attribute which the source could specify directly, or via its type. So instead of (setq anything-candidate-transformers '((file . some-func))) it would either be (setq anything-sources '((name . Some Source) ... (candidate-transformer . some-func))) or (setq anything-sources '((name . Some Source) ... (type . file))) (setq anything-type-attributes '((file ((candidate-transformer . some-func) ... ))) Shouldn't it be `candidate-transformers' and a list of transformer functions? Then there would be no need to add `some-func' whose only purpose is to aggregate the effects of some other transformer functions. Then I simply could say (defvar anything-type-attributes '((file . (candidate-transformers ((anything-c-shadow-boring-files anything-c-shorten-home-path ...)) And it would be the same for anything-candidate-transformers and anything-action-transformers, so these would all be obsoleted. That's of course impacts anything-config.el heavily, so I only want to do it if you agree I agree. I'm not too happy with the current approach because there's quite a lot duplicate code for action and candidate transformers. and when you have the time to work on it. Well, the changes are not too complex, so I think I could port it to the new framework in two hours, say. If you say that the new stuff won't change in the next time, I'll do it. Naturally, everything will be backward compatible until the transition is complete, so I won't remove the existing framework until then. Ok. I plan to do it in incremental steps. The first step will be generalizing anything-filtered-candidate-transformers. You don't use it yet in anything-config.el, so that's the simplest, and it will help to finalize the adaptive sorter. Yeah, that would be good. I haven't looked into these till now. Could you PING me when that's implemented and tell me what source could benefit from it, so that I can implement it to get a feeling. When it's done then the rest can be done incrementally. What do you think of this plan?

Ah, that would be great. After Bill told me that he had problems with the latest changes in anything-config.el (I've removed the eval-after-load [which was malformed, anyway] and required anything as last operation in the file) I found out that I can choose between cancer and pestilence: - If I load anything first, I cannot overwrite defvars, which is bad. - If I load anything after anything-config, all the defuns will be redefined by anything which bad, too. So in either case there are problems. So if you remove the duplicate functions that would solve all problems for us. Could you please copy functions that are needed by `anything-sources', e.g. `anything-buffer-list' from anything-config? I'm not sure, but I think that's the only one. My version puts the current buffer to the back of the list, so that you can easily switch between two buffers without any keys except invoking anything and RET (assuming the buffer source comes first). I'll upload a new anything-config.el in 5 minutes that has a correctly working eval-after-load to ensure that anything is loaded after anything-config.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, Is there some reason why the following 2 bindings aren't part of anything-map: (define-key map (kbd M-v) 'anything-previous-page) (define-key map (kbd C-v) 'anything-next-page) The only reason is I saw no need, since it's very easy to customize the keyboard bindings. I don't use the default bindings either and I don't expect others to do so. People should tune them to their needs, similarly to anything sources, because there is no single default which would appeal to most users considering some use iswitchb and some doesn't and even those who do use it may or may not use anything-iswitchb-dont-touch-iswithcb- keys, etc. Actually, the thought already occurred to me anything-config could also offer custom keyboard configurations. For example, you could submit a configuration to Tassilo for people who prefer the standard Emacs bindings and don't use iswitchb, so they don't care if some of the bindings override iswitchb functions, because they don't use it. Similarly, other alternative keyboard configurations could also be offered and people simply would pick what they prefer. IMHO it's faster to redefine the keymaps to whatever you like than to read through three or for different keymap definitions to pick one that fits only most of my needs. As I don't use iswitchb I've overwritten those bindings: (define-key anything-map (kbd M-p) 'anything-previous-history-element) (define-key anything-map (kbd M-n) 'anything-next-history-element) (define-key anything-map (kbd C-s) 'anything-isearch) (define-key anything-map (kbd M-v) 'anything-previous-page) (define-key anything-map (kbd C-v) 'anything-next-page) (define-key anything-isearch-map (kbd C-s) 'anything-isearch-again) On the other hand I think that using default keys by default would be more sensible, because not too much people use iswitchb, I guess. So maybe it'll be a good idea to add an option to anything-config.el that defines standard keymaps. For example, I use a configuration which respects anything-iswitchb- dont-touch-iswithcb-keys, so I can use the standard iswitchb bindings, but override those bindings which I don't use in iswitchb. I would also like to have the default bindings for C-n C-p in anything-map; however, I guess there's a conflict with binding C-n since iswitchb binds it. However, C-v M-v should be ok to bind. If there's no good reason not to bind them, could you please add them to anything-map? Well, let's see first what Tassilo thinks about the idea above. Now you've heard it. I'll add an option that will define standard keymaps before loading anything.el. What do you think should be its default? Standard keymaps would be more logical for new users whereas the anything bindings would be good for compatibility.

Hi, now there are the variables anything-action-transformers-file anything-action-transformers-buffer anything-action-transformers-function ... which should be lists of functions with parameters ACTIONS (the list of actions so far) and CANDIDATE (the selected file / buffer / function / ...). Those functions may modify the list of actions somehow and return it. The function anything-transform-file-actions calls each function in `anything-action-transformers-file' and builds the list of actions then. It's the same for all other types.

Hi Tamas, there's a little bug in anything.el.

Now I did so and it worked as expected. Hmm, my bug doesn't occur here anymore, so your bug is about something else. I can only do something with it if there is a way to reproduce it. I haven't encountered this assertion for quite a while. Ok, the next time it happens I hope to find a way to reproduce it. Bye, Tassilo -- Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

You can poste additions on that wiki page. If you want to modify existing code, please clone the git repository and send me a patch or the url of your repository, so that I can pull your changes. Isn't gnu.emacs.sources just supposed to be for source posting and not discussions? Hm, I don't know. Maybe comp.emacs would be more appropriate, or gnu.emacs.help? (Does anything work on XEmacs?) I've added a Mac-specific action to my anything-actions-file: (Open File with default Tool . (lambda (filename) (call-process /usr/bin/open nil 0 nil filename))) As open is not the default tool on all platforms, I thinkt the current behavior of `anything-actions-file' is better. But you can (setq anything-external-commands-list '(open)) so that you save some processing time and only get open as completion possibility when you choose Open File with external Tool. And, an action to find the source of an emacs function to the anything-actions-function file: (Find Function . (lambda (command-name) (find-function (intern command-name Yes, why not?

I only discovered it by accident. Ok. Also I think you should remove the Delete File action in anything-actions-file. At least I use it sometimes, but sorting in a dired action is a good idea, anyway. It is more generic to go to a dired buffer: (Dired . (lambda (filename) (dired (file-name-directory filename)) (dired-goto-file filename))) Deleting a file in Dired also checks if a corresponding buffer is open and offers to kill it.
