[Orgmode] Both todo and tag search

[Chao Lu]

Dear all,

For the custom agenda command, is it possible to define a search performing
both todo and tag search, for example, the items whose todo state is ACTIVE,
and the context(defined by tag) is Office?

Thanks!

Chao

Re: [Orgmode] Re: questions about html export

[Mark Elston]

Daniel,

I think the thread that Thomas is referring to is the one started
by Nicolas Goaziou regarding exportation to LaTeX.  He submitted
a patch but in his email he noted that the exportation to HTML is
still not working correctly for these cases.

However, he provided a clue as to what the problem might be so if
you were so inclined you could start there and look for an answer...

Aloha Daniel,

Good to hear you got the link problem worked out.

I believe your issue with lists was discussed recently on the mailing  
list.  I didn't follow that discussion closely and don't remember if  
it came to a resolution, but in the absence of a response from other  
list members more savvy than I am, you might want to look through the  
list archives:


http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/

Apologies for the rather weak reply.  I hope the recent list  
discussion has what you need.

[Orgmode] Estimate ranges in column view

[Mike Gauland]

When planning my work, I estimate the effort required as a range, rather than a
single value. That is, instead of estimating a certain task will take 4 days,
I'll use a range of 3-5 days. If I'm a bit less confident I know how long it
will take, I'll use a wider range (e.g., 2-6 days).  

When I first started doing this, I switched from using a single 'Effort' column
in org mode, to two columns (Effort_Low and Effort_High), simply summing each
column to get an estimate for a composite task.  However, this magnifies the
level of uncertainty in the estimate. The final 'Effort_Low' value tells me what
to expect if everything goes optimally; 'Effort_High' provides the extremely
pessimistic view.

More realistic summaries come from considering the range of each pair, using the
combined statistical variance in each (low, high) pair to determine the variance
in the final value. This is the method used by LiquidPlanner, for example.

I've been mucking about with org-colview.el to automate this calculation for me,
and am quite pleased with the results so far. I've approached this by adding a
new summary type ("est") to org-columns-compile-map, and extending
org-columns-number-to-string and org-columns-string-to-number to convert ranges
to and from strings. This lets me populate an 'Estimates' column with values
such as "[2 4]", and specify a summary type "est" to have the algorithm
described above used to produce the final estimates.

I have two questions for the list:

  1. Is this the right approach, or should I change the behaviour of the
existing EFFORT property?
  2. Is this something others would find useful?

Thanks,
Mike

Yes, I'll keep an eye on this and try to narrow it down to an example if
I can.

And thanks to him for that!  I tipped him off to using TRAMP with ESS,

Yes, it is scp over an existing ssh connection.  The following org-style
link goes to the relevant info page.

[[info:tramp:External%20methods][info:tramp:External methods]]

C-c C-o actually works!  I was extremely encouraged to see this, and it
got my hopes up for export =)

If remote file references could be resolved during export, that would be
ideal.

Typing C-c ^ r will prompt you for a property. If you are above the
first headline, all first level headlines will be sorted. If you are on
a headline, all subheadings will be sorted.

Sorry for the shorthand. Dynamic blocks can be used to refresh "dynamic"
information (such as a table generated from properties) within an org
file.

- (info "(org) Dynamic blocks")
- (info "(org) Capturing column view")

Multiple simultaneous TODO states are currently not supported.
You should add extra context information as tags instead.

Tags are normally used for context.

[Orgmode] mobileorg new user report

[Greg Troxel]

I just started using Org mode and MobileOrg and have a few comments.
First, thanks to everyone who's written/etc. org - it's nice to step
into already-baked software.

* Mobileorg

** removed files

I had a foo.org that I pushed with others, and then deleted, and it
didn't go away from my phone.  Even when I rm'd from webdav it didn't go
away.  I may have done this wrong, but it would be nice if this were
easier.

** last update
It would be nice if the home screen showed the time of last sync.

** mobileorg.org location (I use ~/ORG instead of ~/org)
This should probably be:
  (setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull (concat org-directory "/from-mobile.org"))
instead of
  "~/org/from-mobile.org"

I realize org-directory is only for remember right now, but it seems
like it should be more of a global concept.

** multiple accounts

I try to keep work and personal things separate, so I expect to have two
parallel org setups, one on a work machine and one on a personal
machine.  That works fine with org, but I'd like to use mobileorg with
both (on one phone).  Richard is graciously helping me out with a
workaround, but I wanted to throw out the concept of mobileorg and the
forthcoming android version having multiple accounts (like Mail does).

Or perhaps multiple orgs could push/pull to one directory, but then the
mobileorg.org journal has entries for both and it's probably too much of
a mess.  And I'd like to be able to let colleagues look at some work org
things without risking exposing personal org things.

* org proper

** refiling

I figured this out for refiling, and found it hard to follow list, cons
cell, etc. even though I like lisp.  Adding the following as an example
in the docmentation of org-refile-targets would help.  It could also be
the default - for me refiling is used to put phone- or remember-generate
entries where they belong, not to move things around in a file.

; refiling
(setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files . (:maxlevel . 4

I still haven't had time to track down what's causing the error, but
suffice to say that the org-mode upgrade somehow broke `org-mobile-push'
and I haven't been able to use MobileOrg for a week or so now.

I'd grumble, but instead I should track down the bug.  Maybe tomorrow!

Re: [Orgmode] Re: [mobileorg] Androiｄ sync failed

[Matthew Jones]

That's really odd looking... my index.org file looks different:

* [[file:agendas.org][Agenda Views]]
* [[file:notes.org][notes.org]]

So I'm guessing that would be your problem

I use emacs of course to write my code but I don't do anything with android
through emacs... I just stick to the command line tools that ship with the
SDK.   Right now I'm focusing on Synchronization and gaining the ability to
edit the contents of files... I guess the biggest weakness in the system
right now is the user experience and general look and feel, if you are
looking for some way to help out :)

[Orgmode] Multiple TODO states

[Chao Lu]

Dear all,

I'm wondering if it is possible for an item to have multiple todo state,
like:
  Physics:*ACTIVE* *MOBILE* Quantum optics   *
:Optics::Video:MITC:ACTIVE:*

--TODO
-TAG

For I defined a todo sequence like:

(sequence "QUEUE(q)" "NEXT(n)" "ACTIVE(a)" "|" "DONE(d)")

to indicate the state of task.

However I also prefer to have some context with them, so I defined more todo
state:

  (sequence "MOBILE" "|")
  (sequence "AUDIO" "|")
  (sequence "CAR" "|")
  (sequence "TIMEBOX" "|")
  (sequence "RECUR-DAILY" "|")
  (sequence "RECUR-DUALLY" "|")
  (sequence "RECUR-TRIPLY" "|")
  (sequence "RECUR-WEEKLY" "|")

But seems Org refuse to put multiple todo state on the same item.

And the reason I do not like to put these context into tag, is that I think
these contexts are related to how I finish things, but the tags like "Math
Physics" is more about the content of the item.

So anyone has suggestions?

Thanks,

Chao

I believe the exporter does respect caching, the following minimal
example worked (i.e. was not re-run) for me on export to html.  Could
you provide an example that demonstrates the problem?

--8<---cut here---start->8---
** cache on export
do we export cached blocks

#+begin_src sh :cache yes :exports results
  date

Not that I'm currently aware of.  Dan has handled most of the remote
execution work so he may know more than me in this regard.

Is "scpc" in the line above a transport protocol?  Maybe this should be
an org-mode wide features, i.e. the ability to resolve remote file
references with C-c C-o and on export.  Does that sound reasonable, and
would it take care of the need in this particular case?

A block like the following may be an acceptable workaround in the near

#+begin_src sh :file test.png :var remote=rplot :exports results
  scp $remote ./test.png

Yes, this is how I am doing now.
I forgot the "column view" thing. :)

BTW, how to sort the headings (names) by the properties?
and what is dblocks?
Are they mentioned in the manual?

One solution would be to use properties to store contact information:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
* Name
  :PROPERTIES:
  :NAME: A
  :TEL:  12
  :EMAIL:a...@a.com
  :ADDR: somewhere
  :END:
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

It would be easy to set up a remember template to capture such
information. You could then sort all the headings in the contacts file
by property. And there are other advantages. You could view the
information in contact view or capture it (or a subset) in tables using
dblocks. You could add notes and additional metadata to each contact.
And you could access this data in other emacs modes by using org's
APIs.  

 - (info "(org) Using the property API")
 - (info "(org) Using the mapping API")

HTH,
Matt

[Orgmode] jumping in custom agenda view loses settings

[Eric S Fraga]

Hello,

I have created a simple custom agenda view that restricts the items to
consider to those from just two files:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("d" agenda "Only items from todo and diary"
((org-agenda-files '("~/git/notes/diary.org" "~/git/notes/tasks.org"))
 (agenda))
)))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Dispatching this using "C-c a d" works just fine and moving within this
view using 'f' and 'p' also works; however, jumping using 'j' from
within the agenda view causes the agenda display to revert to the
default settings as if I had invoked it initially with "C-c a a".

Is there any way to jump from one date to another in a custom agenda
view?  Or am I trying to achieve something outside the planned use
cases for custom agenda views?

Thanks,
eric

[Orgmode] Re: [PATCH] Call `start-process-shell-command' with just 3 arguments.

Excellent, thanks for this patch. That is an elegant solution, it
should also work in older Emacsen. I was going to do it in a more
complicated way, querying for Emacs versions, etc.

There is one little nit though:

> -(start-process-shell-command command nil command file-name)))
> +  (let* ((file-name (buffer-file-name (org-export-as-taskjuggler)))
> +  (command (concat "TaskJugglerUI " file-name)))
> +(start-process-shell-command command nil command)))

The first argument to start-process-shell-command is the name for the
process. I guess it would be nicer if this name didn't contain the
filename. So maybe something along the following would be nicer:

  (let* ((file-name (buffer-file-name (org-export-as-taskjuggler)))
 (process-name "TaskJugglerUI")
 (command (concat process-name " " file-name)))
(start-process-shell-command process-name nil command)))

I just checked in a patch to that effect in the taskjuggler-export
branch. Also a patch is attached.

Thanks
Christian

[Orgmode] Verbatim LaTeX inside delimiters in HTML export with jsMath?

[Christian Moe]

Hi,

To display LaTeX math in Org html export with lovely jsMath, it must be
exported verbatim with

  #+OPTIONS: ^:nil TeX:nil

so one cannot use lazy superscripts/subscripts or Org entities in the 
rest of the text.


Is there a simple way to turn these options on, but protect LaTeX where
it appears *inside math delimiters* so it's exported verbatim? I.e.
inside $...$, $$...$$, \( ... \), \[ ... \], \begin ... \end ?

I ask because I'm keeping a note file with much text and only a few 
equations, but with frequent reference to e.g. CO_2 and m^2. It's 
possible to always write $CO_2$ and $m^2$, but less readable, and 
irksome when you've got used to an easier way. An inline formula can be 
protected by surrounding it with verbatim markup, =$...$=, but then it's 
only good for jsMath, not for LaTeX export.


Yours,
Christian

[Orgmode] add a table entry by org-remember template

[zwz]

AFAIK, it is now impossible to add a table entry by org-template.
But I think it is very useful. For example,
in my private.org, there is a section

* Contacts
  | name | tel. | email   | addr  |
  |--+--+-+---|
  | A|   12 | a...@a.com | somewhere |
  

If it is feasible with such a template  
("Contact" ?c "| %^{Name} | %^{tel} | %^{email} | %^{addr} |\n"
"~/private.org" "Contacts")
to add new contacts, it would be very nice to organize (e.g. sort) all
the contacts based on org-table.
