Planner-multi used to work OK with XEmacs 21.4.17 under Ubuntu Breezy (05.10) using the multiple-prompt fallback method. As of 21.4.18 in Dapper (06.06), the crm package is included with the XEmacs packages. This is also the case for xemacs beta.
This causes planner-multi to try and use the fancier completing-read-multiple function, which seems incompatible with planner-multi in xemacs. The first problem is the variable minibuffer-prompt-properties which is unset by default. This results in a "Symbol's value as variable is void: minibuffer-prompt-propertie" when trying to add a task. I tried working around this by doing (setq minibuffer-prompt-properties nil), which gets me one step further. Now I can type up to one plan page, but typing space (the mult-prompt separator) results in a backtrace that ends like this: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument vectorp "TaskPool") self-insert-command(1) call-interactively(self-insert-command) (dispatch-event "[internal]") read-minibuffer-internal("Page: (default: TaskPool) ") byte-code("..."

I found that I can at least restore the old multiple-prompts behaviour by doing: --- orig/planner-multi.el +++ mod/planner-multi.el @@ -819,9 +819,10 @@ (setq more nil))) (setq planner-default-page (planner-multi-make-link list)))) -(if (fboundp 'completing-read-multiple) - (setq planner-read-name-function 'planner-multi-read-name) - (setq planner-read-name-function 'planner-multi-read-name-multiple-prompts)) +; (if (fboundp 'completing-read-multiple) +; (setq planner-read-name-function 'planner-multi-read-name) +; (setq planner-read-name-function 'planner-multi-read-name-multiple-prompts)) +(setq planner-read-name-function 'planner-multi-read-name-multiple-prompts) ;;;###autoload (defun planner-multi-remove-task-from-pool (old-status new-status) Thanks Neilen _______________________________________________ Planner-el-discuss mailing list Planner-el-discuss@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/planner-el-discuss
