Re: [O] Quick question
Oh ... thanks: `org-id-find' is perfect! I'm playing with https://github.com/bateast/google-calendar which allows to fetch your google calendars in quite a robust way (or so it seems). The next step for me is to allow to sync google calendar entries even after they have been refiled (hence the need to find them by their id) I'm not that skillful with the internals of org-mode and a bit lost in all the functions. Maybe someone will beat me in pushing this google-calendar thing further ;-) Fabrice 2015-05-31 17:10 GMT+02:00 Eric Abrahamsen e...@ericabrahamsen.net: Fabrice Popineau fabrice.popin...@gmail.com writes: Hi, I'm doing a little bit of elisp and I was wondering what is the easiest way to find an element (say a header) with a given id among the list of all agenda files?

Re: [O] [OT] djvu?
Off topic, but, interesting question anyway. You can compress pictures taken by your phone. A shrinking of 2 or 4, or more can be obtained with no visible difference. You can also collect a set of pictures in a single djvu album. The viewer (djview) is able to zoom very fast. Unfortunately neither Djvu nor Jpeg2000 have replaced Jpeg. Emacs is able to display djvu. -- To create an album, just do that: c44 -percent 40 imgp_001.jpg c44 -percent 40 imgp_002.jpg c44 -percent 40 imgp_003.jpg ... djvm -c album.djvu imgp_001.djvu imgp_002.djvu imgp_003.djvu ... djview album.djvu Le 31/05/2015 12:41, Martin Schöön a écrit : Anyone using djvu? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DjVu http://www.djvu.org/ Just curious. -- Martin Schöön http://hem.bredband.net/b262106/index.html
[O] Hiding stars for Item column from columnview
Hi, I'm using the great columnview feature a lot to generate dynamic tables. When I use %Item column, the generated table shows the stars in front of each heading.I used to not include Item in columns, and added additional property for the name for each heading to avoid this. However, I need to use :skip-empty-rows t to skip headings without any properties corresponding to the columns, and it depends on using Item column. Is there a way to not show stars for Item column in columnview tables? Best,Joon

[O] Problems Setting Properties
Hello, When I try to set a property in my planner file (15005 lines to go wrong :P), I get an error message. Here is the backtrace from saying C-c C-x p (org-set-property) on any heading. Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil) org-buffer-property-keys(nil t t) org-read-property-name() org-set-property(nil nil) call-interactively(org-set-property nil nil) command-execute(org-set-property) I get the same result saying C-c C-c s at a property drawer. I have tried to narrow it down to a specific point by deleting big parts. I couldn't narrow it down: if I deleted some parts it would behave normally and if I deleted parts containing said parts it would give the error. I've only experienced this recently after upgrading from Debian Wheezy to Jessie, so from org-mode 7.8.11-1 to 8.2.10-1. Thanks in advance, Ed

Re: [O] org-use-property-inheritance not working?
Rainer M Krug rai...@krugs.de writes: Looking at my example, it seems that the variable org-use-property-inheritance has no impact on the header arguments, i.e. no properties are inherited. So it seems that there is a bug, or a severe misunderstanding on my side what property inheritance means. From the help of the variable: , | When nil, only the properties directly given in the current entry count. | When t, every property is inherited. The value may also be a list of | properties that should have inheritance, or a regular expression matching | properties that should be inherited. ` Reading this, and the fact that I get the same properties irrespective if I set org-use-property-inheritance to t or nil, I would assume that there is something not correct or consistent. I think you are confused with property accumulation. However property inheritance predates this feature and totally ignores it. Inheritance is an answer to the question what should I do if the property I'm looking for doesn't exist in the entry?. IOW, it only kicks in, if at all, when property is /not found/ in current entry. In your example, the property you're looking for is defined in every entry, including the current one. Per above, Org doesn't even try to use inheritance, and doesn't look at `org-use-property-inheritance'. Regards,

Hallo!
Recently started encountering a very strange thing: the `markdown`
backend no longer appears in my export dispatcher. The other four I have
listed (html, deck, ascii, and beamer) all appear; further, I can call the
org-md-export functions directly using M-x. They're clearly being
loaded, and behave perfectly normally. Even if the only two backends I
configure are markdown and html, only html will appear in the dispatcher
as an option.

A number of years back I was very excited about DJVU and used it to compress my scanned documents. But at a certain point did I realize that scanned bitmaps (as well as TeX'd documents width pk fonts) in PDF were just as small, and I stopped using it, as PDF is much more widely available. I'm not sure if the almost equal sizes of djvu and postscript were because bad djvu compressor or because the PDF compressors improved at some point.

Is there some feature of combination of features that let's me enter notes arranged by date, create links to earlier notes referencing the same terms, etc.? Capture! This is what it's meant for! I'd use the Date-tree style templates. And don't forget about tags/categories for searching. Thank you, Samuel. I'll look into it further. -pd -- Peter Davis The Tech Curmudgeon www.techcurmudgeon.com
[O] Quick question
Hi, I'm doing a little bit of elisp and I was wondering what is the easiest way to find an element (say a header) with a given id among the list of all agenda files? I know I can use org-element-map, but is there a faster or easier way ? Thanks, Fabrice
Re: [O] Testers / Feedback wanted: Gantt charts via org-gantt.el
Am 30.05.2015 um 13:33 schrieb Bernhard Schmitz bernhard.schm...@vis.uni-stuttgart.de: Hi, my org-gantt.el is now in a usable state. It creates gantt charts via pgfgantt directly from headlines in org mode, using deadlines, schedules, effort estimates and (optionally) clocked time. Sounds like a good idea. I tried writing pgfgantt manually but once I finished updating the chart, it was already out of date. Getting the information from org would be fine. I tried org-gantt on a current project and ran into one problem: I track progress with * Task [%] and * Task [/] Of course the % causes a problem when exporting to LaTeX. I suggest to either ignore [%] and [/] or use them as an alternative to show how much is completed. It is probably a better metric than hours worked. pgfgantt doesn’t handle \ganttbar commands without start and end date. Therefor I can’t export an incomplete chart. You may want to set the entries with missing scheduling information to the first day of the chart. (Maybe mark the task or label with a color to indicate that they are incomplete.) (See below for some different ideas.) A two month chart doesn’t fit into \textwidth. I wrapped it into a sideways environment (provided by rotating.sty), maybe a sideways option? For a project with 2000 person hours[1] I’ll probably need a separate export and print it on A0 paper[2]. Some kind of scaling would be fine (show weeks / month instead of days). For a huge project it may be nice to limit the levels printed: Just Module 1 - 8 for the Management and each Module with the submodules for the project leader. Similar to maxlevel in the clocktable. I’m not sure about inheritance: If I have a deadline for a task, should the subtasks inherit that deadline unless an explicit deadline is given? If I have a deadline for a task and efforts for all subtasks, should the task inherit that effort? That way I can give a deadline to the task and estimate efforts to get an initial chart. Using this chart I can divide the subtasks between workers, rearrange the deadlines for the subtasks and finally define a scheduled date for the main task. This gives me another idea: Filter / color by tag. Print only tasks tagged :Axel: to show my workload, and print tasks tagged :Sam_One: to show tasks I have delegated. Color tasks by tags to show who is assigned, white for unassigned tasks. Axel [1] A 2000 PH project is not my usual project size, a few hundred is more common. [2] I have access to an A0 printer but I usually draw with felt markers on (literal) wallpaper. Much faster for an initial design and I can use „real“ cut and paste:-) Gantt-ECM.org Description: Binary data
Re: [O] org-use-property-inheritance not working?
Nicolas Goaziou m...@nicolasgoaziou.fr writes: Rainer M Krug rai...@krugs.de writes: OK - but this behavior is not influenced by the variable org-use-property-inheritance. So what is the meaning of the variable then? The variable is checked when calling `org-entry-get' with a non-nil INHERIT optional argument. In this case `org-entry-get' calls `org-entry-get-with-inheritance'. OK - let's move away from the programming in org and back to my question: Looking at my example, it seems that the variable org-use-property-inheritance has no impact on the header arguments, i.e. no properties are inherited. So it seems that there is a bug, or a severe misunderstanding on my side what property inheritance means. From the help of the variable: , | When nil, only the properties directly given in the current entry count. | When t, every property is inherited. The value may also be a list of | properties that should have inheritance, or a regular expression matching | properties that should be inherited. ` Reading this, and the fact that I get the same properties irrespective if I set org-use-property-inheritance to t or nil, I would assume that there is something not correct or consistent.

Re: [O] jabref like orgmode based solution to bibliography management (not for latex)
Org-ref also has some customizable formatting. It is pretty basic but customizable.

BibTeX retrieved from journals is almost always messy and I need to edit it anyway. It’s not too hard, though: I click on BibTeX export on the journal page, the BibTeX file is opened in Emacs, I fix it, and use a command that appends it to my bibliography. However, I think org-ref has tools that do more to support importing new entries and org-ref combines well with helm-bibtex. Org-ref has doi-utils that let you add bibtex entries and download PDFs from a doi or crossref query. 2. a way to quick filter references (helm bibtex seems like a good solution) That’s what helm-bibtex was written to solve. 3. filter lists based on tags/keywords (orgmode has that covered) In helm-bibtex you can also search for keywords and tags. 4. this one is important: a way to quickly export selected references in word/odf/html based on a pre fixed style (ie Nature, Chicago etc) helm-bibtex can generate references in APA style but as far as I can see Chicago style is very similar, so it shouldn’t be hard to add support for that. anyone uses such a system in emacs/org and can recommend the way to go?
