[O] feature request: re-compute cache without evaluation
Hi, I write many source blocks that take a fairly long time to execute (several minutes). Sometimes I find myself wanting to do cosmetic changes to the code, that I know (for sure) do not change the output, after the first evaluation. Unfortunately, after having made these changes the cache obviously does not match the code anymore and I have to re-evaluate to update the cache. I know it goes against the strict 'reproducible research' idea but still I would like to be able to re-compute the cache without actually evaluating the block as it is not efficient to re-evaluate for the sole purpose of updating the cache.

I believe it's because of a rather technical latex limitation: latex
writes TOC entries into a .toc file, which is then read back in when the
\tableofcontents macro is expanded. When you specify num:nil asking for
unnumbered sections, the latex exporter produces \section* markers,
instead of the standard \section markers. But when latex processes
those, it does not add anything to the .toc file. If org added a
\tableofcontents, you would get just the title and an empty TOC. In
order to prevent that, the latex exporter requires that both toc and num
be non-nil - see l.1487 ff in lisp/org-latex.el:
,

| ;; table of contents
| (when (and org-export-with-toc

One can work around this by manually adding sections under each headline.

The HTML exporter does this by hand, so to speak, so it is not as

[O] icalendar export skips todos with a scheduled time-range
Hello,
From Debian bug #668496[0]:
If I have an org-file containing a todo with a scheduled date range, like
this:
,[ foo.org ]
*** TODO Weekend with the lads
SCHEDULED: 2012-05-04 Fr--2012-05-08 Di
`
and try to export it via org-export-icalendar-this-file, the resulting
foo.ics will look like this
,[ foo.ics ]
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
X-WR-CALNAME:foo
PRODID:-//Friedrich Delgado//Emacs with Org-mode//EN
X-WR-TIMEZONE:Europe/Berlin
X-WR-CALDESC:nil
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
END:VCALENDAR
`
(i.e.: contain no appointments at all)
I think the responsible section of code may reside in
/usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp/org-mode/org-icalendar.el, line 360:
,
(if (looking-at re2)
(progn
(goto-char (match-end 0))
(setq ts2 (match-string 1)
inc (not (string-match [0-9]\\{1,2\\}:[0-9][0-9] ts2
(setq tmp (buffer-substring (max (point-min)
(- pos org-ds-keyword-length))
pos)
ts2 (if (string-match
[0-9]\\{1,2\\}:[0-9][0-9]-\\([0-9]\\{1,2\\}:[0-9][0-9]\\) ts)
(progn
(setq inc nil)

ts)
deadlinep (string-match org-deadline-regexp tmp)
scheduledp (string-match org-scheduled-regexp tmp)
todo (org-get-todo-state)
;; donep (org-entry-is-done-p)
))
`
From my basic understanding of the code-flow it looks like re2 ==
(concat --?-?\\( org-ts-regexp \\)) is meant to match date-ranges,
but the code in the t branch of the if doesn't set deadlinep,
schedulep and todo, preventing all further processing of the entry.
But I may be wrong about the intentions of that function.

From a UX pov, changing the clipboard/kill-ring behind the user’s back is a bad thing to do, especially when the intention of the user action is only to have a quick look at that link.

[O] change single occurrence of repeating event
Hi all, this is a basic (I think) question about repeating events. I am looking for an equivalent to other calendar's change this specific occurrence option. Here is an example. Assume, I have a repeating event, like a commute: #+begin_src org *** Train From Office 2012-01-02 Mo 15:49-17:07 +1w #+end_src Quite often, I need to change that: 1. because I am not commuting (holidays/conference/...) 2. an important meeting postpones the commute As I aim for the same commuting times every day, I want 1. the repeating event to show in my agenda by default 2. the flexibility to delete or change single occurrences of that event. How would be the best way to accomplish both? Thanks in advance, Andreas

another option might be to remove the num:nil org option and instead

the only drawback is that one still needs the num:nil option for the

perhaps this could become another way to implement num:nil for the latex

unnumbered sections, the latex exporter produces \section* markers,

Thats exactly what I want. To achieve the same in an X11 session, I added a function to the server-visit-hook that changes -bg to black and -fg to wheat when emacsclient visits a server file. Now what is happening when I open a org-mode buffer in a console session? I see a blinking white underscore as cursor/point on a black background. When I move it over a hidden star, point becomes invisible. (background-color-at-point) gives nil. (foreground-color-at-point) gives 'black' instead of nil like in the other parts of the buffer, and the black cursor on a black background becomes invisible. In an X11 session, with point on hidden stars, the hidden star becomes visible again instead, together with the cursor. What is the mechanism responsable for that? -- cheers, Thorsten

Relying on this mechanism produces the error you reported, because the text-scale-set doesn't interact well with remapped faces. I'm now relying on `buffer-face-mode' which seems to be a cleaner approach. On my machine, this change causes a noticeable lag when typing in org-mode buffers. The cursor hesitates for a bit and then lurches forward. If I turn off buffer-face-mode the lag disappears. I'm still figuring out how to diagnose the problem. Another question: is it customary for major modes to invoke buffer-face-mode? I was a bit confused when I first saw BufFace in the mode-line, as I had not explicitly invoked the minor mode. My understanding was that this was primarily intended as a minor mode for user-level modifications, not for major modes to rely on (but I may very well be mistaken). Best, Matt

The basic idea in all of these situations is to use org-map-entries from the mapping API: (info (org) Using the mapping API) to walk the entries, applying a function on each. The function to apply on each entry is frequently a specialization of one of the functions provided by the property API: (info (org) Using the property API) In this case, you need a function to get the priority of each entry: (def fas/task-priority () (org-entry-get (point) PRIORITY)) which you can then give to org-map-entries: (org-map-entries (function fas/task-priority) t 'tree) The assumption here is that we are at the head node and we have an arbitrary number of subnodes. The call above will accumulate the priorities of each subnode in a list (if a subnode does not have a priority assigned, the priority will be nil). For example, applying * section ** [#B] subsection *** [#C] subsubsection paragraph * [#B] subparagraph will return the list (nil B C nil B) It is then just a matter of finding the highest priority and applying it to the top node. Assuming that A is higher priority than B etc, something like this will do: --8---cut here---start-8--- (defun fas/task-priority () (org-entry-get (point) PRIORITY)) (defun fas/set-task-priority () (interactive) (let* ((priorities (org-map-entries (function fas/task-priority) t 'tree)) (sortedpriorities (sort (delq nil priorities) (function string-lessp (if sortedpriorities (org-priority (aref (car sortedpriorities) 0) --8---cut here---end---8--- org-priority wants a character, but sortedpriorities is a list of strings, hence the aref rigmarole. It should work even if *no* priorities are set at all: sortedpriorities will be nil, so nothing will be done. Nick
Re: [O] [OT] Defining System, process, methodology and framework
Well, looks like my text was kind of stupid and or confusing... Anyway, I started reading An Introduction To General Systems Thinking - surprisingly interesting book, and it's helping me answer most of those questions in deeper ways. I needed to do some additional investigation before starting to ask questions ;) I'll share the insights after I finish it, Thanks! Marcelo.

I'm not a cientist, nor work inside an academic environment. I'm just a regular guy trying to understand this world and making better use of my resources, specially time. For this, I have read dozens of books on personal productivity, including GTD, Making it All Work, and Work the System. All great books. I've started to notice a pattern though. All of them talk about systems and processes (and some might even use the word framework and methodology / or method), and although you can live by and be quite productivity if you apply the principles, I knew I had to understand in an even lower and basic level. I then asked myself What the heck is a system and what is the relationship it has with process, methodology and frameworks ? I found out, for example, that System and Process sometimes are used inter-changeably. So I went to google to try to find out the answer. The simplest answers simply say that a process is what a system is made of. It did not convince me. By reading the wikipedia article about System ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System), I found out this paragraph under System concepts: Process and transformation process A system can also be viewed as a bounded transformation process, that is, a process or collection of processes that transforms inputs into outputs. Inputs are consumed; outputs are produced. The concept of input and output here is very broad. E.g., an output of a passenger ship is the movement of people from departure to destination. A system can viewed as a process? Hmm, confusing. Right now, my mental model basically says that a system is like blueprint with different components that communicate, and a process is what runs on it (or in on of its components). Framework is like a collection of systems and a methodology is basically akin to system (in my understanding). Why am I obsessing about this? The reason is systems thinking. I think it's a quite interesting mindset and way to perceive the world. By trying to view yourself and what surrounds you as systems (with sub-systems), it's much easier to document (them), get feedback, and improve, automating your life even further, understanding it more, and living better. For example, from this perspective I think, GTD is simply a product of an elevated point of view from the author David Allen. He simply viewed things systematically and documented them. That's why he says it's 'common-sense'. But before that, it would be nice to know exactly what a System is, and it's relationship with process, methodology and framework, in abstract terms. What do you think? I'm sure there are quite a few people here that might be crazy enough to have the same question, or perhaps, I'm just too crazy. Let me know, any insights very much appreciated. Cheers, - Marcelo.

If I turn off buffer-face-mode the lag disappears. I'm still figuring out how to diagnose the problem. Let us know about this. If this change triggers such problems for several users, maybe we should just make `buffer-face-mode' optional. -- Bastien
