Diary s-exprs can do things like this:

--8<---cut here---start->8---

* TODO every third Thursday of the month
  <%%(org-float t 4 3)>

* TODO every first and third Wednesday of the month
  <%%(or (org-float t 3 1) (org-float t 3 3))>
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

[O] Repeat every X business days and every Xth day-of-the-week

[Jay McCarthy]

Dear org-mode developers,

I wish that I could write +1bd on a repeating tasks so that it skips
from Friday to Monday.

I looked into implementing this myself, but there are a lot of places
(29) where the regexp [dwmy] is used and it scares me off because I
think I'll break something. It almost seems like you should be able to
add a new 'what' to 'org-timestamp-change' and it will Just Work. But
the algorithm in there would need to change a bit, because it would
try to change by a number of days, but then adjust based on the advic
day of the week.

For now, I just manually complete the task on Saturdays and Sundays...
but it seems wrong to get credit in the TODO -> DONE log when I really
didn't do it :)

I also wish that I could specify in some way that an event happens
every third Thursday of the month or on the first and third Wednesdays
(when my recycling cans are picked up). I don't know of a good way to
fit that into the current annotation scheme of + and ++.

If you have any advice about how I could do it myself safely, I'd be
happy to try and contribute.

Jay

Re: [O] Sending and archiving emails with capture...

[Peter Salazar]

Awesome.

How do you get it to ignore the org star header (** Email) on the first
line?

I'd like to be able to open existing org subtrees in an indirect
buffer—ideally in mail-mode—and then mail-send the contents of the buffer.
When I try this at home, I get "Invalid header line."

[O] OrgMobile problem: only three files in checksums.dat

[Alexander Vorobiev]

Hi,

I have many files in the org-mobile-files list. On org-mobile-push all of
them are copied to my MobileOrg directory, syncronized via Dropbox to my
phone, etc. But the file checksums.dat always has only three lines - for
files index.org, mobileorg.org, and agendas.org.
The org-mobile-checksum-files variable also has the checksums for those
files only. Consequently, MobileOrg for Android only shows one line "Agenda
Views" and does not show any of my org files despite having all of them in
the same Dropbox directory.

Thanks
Alex

[O] Too clumsy to promote/demote a region by multiple levels

[James Harkins]

Is there a reason why M-left and M-right (promote/demote tree headings) 
deactivate the selected region?

That is, if I use C-space and move the point to select a number of headings, 
and I want to demote them by three levels, currently after hitting M-right, the 
region goes away -- so I actually have to do

C-space (move the point) M-right
C-space (move the point) M-right
C-space (move the point) M-right

But I would like to be able to do

C-space (move the point) M-right M-right M-right

Is this possible?

I know that if there is no freestanding text underneath the headings, I could 
use C-x r t to add more *'s, but that breaks in a region where one or more 
lines are not headings.

I tried (on a whim) C-u 3 M-right, but the universal argument is ignored here.

Thanks,
James

[O] ot: windows xemacs question

[Jude DaShiell]

I had a read of the setup instructions for emacs on windows and 
unfortunately so many of them involve modifying the windows registry.  A 
very experienced software specialist told me it's best never to use 
software that requires these modifications because sooner rather than 
later windows will crash and then the whole mess has to be reinstalled 
after that.  He had no idea about xemacs but he told me emacs and windows 
do not live happily on machines together.  So I'm wondering if xemacs 
might end up being any better and figured this being the closest list to 
emacs support I'm on that actually works to ask this question here.

[O] #RESULTS folding and clearing

[Johnny]

Hi all,

When evaluating src blocks, the #+RESULTS: are inserted just below the
code block, but some expressions generate long lists; thus:

1) How can I fold the RESULTS block? (I have tried the regular tab way
and searched the manual, but can't find it. Apologies if it should be
obvious!)
2) Is there any way to get the results in a folded output by default? 
3) Can I erase /all/ RESULTS in an org-file by single command?

Maint still needs to be merged back into master, otherwise master picks up
7.8.04 as the release version.  Also, you need to fix that version
script (still inserting the french month for the release date, maybe
wrap with LANG=C?).

Re: [O] Figure and table captions in org-odt.el

A small side note:

Instead of modifying the default "OrgOdtContentTemplate.xml" *directly*,
you can do the following.  Make a *copy* of the file, do the required
modification and then customize `org-export-odt-content-template-file'
to point to the new template file.

Currently there is no custom setting for it.

For now, you can try out the following.

Locate your "OrgOdtContentTemplate.xml".  This file is located under the
styles directory.  See the *Messages* buffer for an output like this:

, *Messages*

Documents/My Data/src/org-mode/etc/styles/...

Documents/My Data/src/org-mode/etc/styles/
`

Towards the end of the file, you will find a
`...' block.  These are the
OpenDocument "variables" that are used for counting Figures, Tables etc.

Replace text:name="Figure" with text:name="Abbildung".  You can do
likewise for other categories.

`

Now add the following to your init file.  You can compare the default
setting of `org-odt-category-map-alist' with the value below.  Here
also, you have replaced "Figure" with "Abbildung".

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (eval-after-load 'org-odt

   '(("__Table__" "Table" "value")
 ("__Figure__" "Abbildung" "value")

#+end_src

This should do what you want.  Let me know how it goes.

Hi Karl,

why don't you add something like an "xx" day which will probably please

I don't use org2ical, however.

Hi!

I verified the behavior below with the most current git version of
Org-mode.

Whenever I call my function to export the current agenda, it
«converts» events that do have a beginning and end time to events
that span the whole day (without begin and end times at all).

,[ my LISP command to export ]
| (defun vk-export-agenda()
|   "Exports monthly Org-mode agenda to agenda.ics file"
|   (interactive)
|   (org-agenda-list nil nil 60)
|   (org-agenda-write "~/org/agenda.ics")
| )
`

I traced down the problem to this:

*<2012-03-05 Mon 08:00-09:00>  works fine
*<2012-03-05 Mon 8:00-9:00>  works fine too

*<2012-03-05 08:00-09:00>  Wrong: ends up as full day event

Unfortunately, I do have certain mechanisms that generate parts of
my Org-mode files where I skip the day of the week. Org-mode in
general is able to handle date stamps without day of week pretty
well. But whenever I export it to ics (in order to send it to
Google), I end up with a messed up online agenda.

I guess that org-agenda-write is the one to blame. It would be very
handy to me if somebody could fix that issue.

Let me know, if you need any further information!

Thank you very much!
