[O] Emacs org-mode timer - can it be shown in the Windows 7 taskbar?
I use Emacs org-mode for organizing my tasks and projects and also for time tracking. However, Im working a lot in other applications (mostly Microsoft Office 2007 or Firefox), so the Emacs Window is often in the background and not visible. For time tracking it would be useful to have the running clock visible all the time to see how time is passing (similar to a pomodoro timer). Is there a way to synchronize the display of this Emacs status bar (or an element of it) with the Windows 7 Taskbar?
Re: [O] How to deal with small projects which are often changing their status/ person
Hi M, it is not about programming and it is not about plain text files, but MS Office (Word) files.. Dropbox is not an option, maybe a document management system (DMS) with versioning, but it is not in place yet. And even if there is, how could I then track my workflow with Emacs? I find convenient to convert doc files to text using antiword or wvtext and then I can follow the changes easily using usual tools. Tomas
Re: [O] How to deal with small projects which are often changing their status/ person
Hi Martin, I think that you should be using tags for this. For example: * Project XYZ :projectxyz:J.Smith: ** TODO Write Text ** WAIT Feedback on Text ** TODO check feedback ** TODO send to original author ** WAIT for Feedback In this case you are adding a tag with the project name and another with the author (for example). Then when you export this to the agenda, or generate a list of pending tasks, all the subnodes of this tree will inherit the tags and you will see them associated to each task. Another option is to use a different file for each project (maybe not too practical if you have many of them). When generating a list of task you get the file name with each task. If you name the file as your project (say projectxyz.org), then you know where that task is coming from. You can add something like this to your .emacs file so you do not have to add all these small files by hand to the agenda list: ; (load-library find-lisp) (add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook (lambda () (setq org-agenda-files (find-lisp-find-files /home/documents/smallprojects \.org$)) )) ; With this all org files in the smallprojects folder will be added to the agenda.

At the moment there are many little projects where I * get a text from someone (or write it myself) * have to read and edit it * send it oer email to 1 or 2 other colleagues which have to read / edit it * get it back and check the changes * maybe send the text again to the original author * then finally release the text for publication ... and you imagine, there is not only 1 such text at once but several of them. I wonder what is an approriate way to keep track of such workflows with org-mode.. I'm using MS Outlook for mails and so when I receive a mail, I store a hyperlink pointing to that mail in Outlook. For a process like the one above I would have a task * TODO Write Text about topic XY and send it to colleague(s)... then * WAIT Colleage(s): Feedback on Text about topic XY * TODO check feedback/changes of Colleagues and edit again, and send for approval * TODO send to original author * WAIT for Feedback of original author (if changes, repeat process above) * TODO send text to publishing colleague or similar... I hope it is clear what I mean, there are a lot of small steps and each time creating a new task takes much time and I have to copy the name of the project again and again... Maybe it would be better to add all the notes about the progress as notes in the Logbook and change the Heading of the task each time, but that also seems strange to me... Would there be a way to make the children inherit automatically a text from the project name, e. g. * Text about topic XY for publishing in ABC ** WAIT John: Feedback on Text about topic XY for publishing in ABC ** Send Text about topic XY for publishing in ABC to Ellen for approval ... in a way that Text about topic XY for publishing in ABC is filled in automatically by a placeholder? Or what is your way for tracking such workflows in org-mode? Kind regards Martin

Re: [O] Bug in new exporter with babel blocks
Hello, Aaron Ecay aarone...@gmail.com writes: I’m dealing with a puzzling bug in the new exporter. As background, I’ve written a custom function to process special-blocks, to replicate in the new exporter the functionality of the org-exp-blocks package (http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-exp-blocks.html). You needn't. org-exp-blocks functionalities are supported by the new exporter out of the box. Because I need the un-processed text inside the special-block (not parsed into an org-elements structure nor escaped for LaTeX special characters), Special blocks are de facto, recursive, much like drawers. Their contents have to be parsed. I’m not sure if this is a long-standing problem or not; this is the first time I’ve combined babel with my custom special-blocks code. I’m also at a loss of how to debug the internals of org-elements and org-export, two complex bits of machinery. I guess the value of the :contents-begin and -end properties needs to be fixed in any case. During export, the buffer being parsed isn't the original buffer, because of babel block, include keywords and macros expansion. You may want to have a look at `org-export-as' source code. Hence, :contents-begin and :contents-end properties do not refer to real buffer positions in the buffer from which `org-e-latex-special-block' is called. I’d also be happy to discover another, better way of getting the raw text content of the special-block that doesn’t succumb to this problem. If you must, you can try: (org-element-interpret-data (org-element-contents special-block)) from `org-e-latex-special-block'. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou

Re: [O] org-caldav feedback
Hi David, time is correct now using UTC thanks a lot. My test suite runs fine with the SOGo server, so I'm guessing it has to do with how you format your entries. Does this also happen when you put the timestamp underneath the heading? Tested and you are right. Adding a timestamp in the body doesn't get lost during sync. Actually, I guess the problem is a combination of export and import to org-mode. During the export, the timestamp gets read in correctly, however, it get stripped from the Summary line (which is good). During the import, org-caldav does not find a timestamp in the body to update and does nothing (wild speculation). A possible solution would be to teach org-caldav to update the timestamp within the node header if available. I see the problem that you might changed the text in the summary field in the caldav calendar, which potentially mess up the header (where to place the old timestamp within the context of the new text?!) but for now, I would suggest to simply search for a timestamp within the node-header and update it by adding a new timestamp at the very end (but before tags ;) ). In addition a new variable org-caldav-timestamp-pos which can be either header or body could indicate where to place the timestamp for a new entry coming from caldav. Thanks again for this great work and I really appreciate your help and effort Torsten On a general note, I find manipulating Org entries rather delicate and wonder why there are no helper functions to change things like headings, timestamps, etc., which take care of the multitude of possibilities how entries can be formatted. My guess is that org-elements might be the solution for this, but I haven't looked at it yet... -David

[O] Using Org/babel for Emacs config files (was: OT: Learning ELISP)
Hi! * Jonathan Arkell jonath...@criticalmass.com wrote: I am a huge advocate of using org files and literate programming in your config files. Great. I am not completely convinced to convert my config to org/babel but I am not oppose either. Not sure, if there are that many advantages, that it is worth my effort, that's all.

[O] More decoration for babel output
Hi all,
When exporting to HTML I always add some extra CSS to my org-mode config, for
the purpose of identifying which chunks are input vs. output, and for
identifying the language of the code in code chunks. Language is identified by
a little label on the box, and input/output is identified by green/red.
Would this be helpful to include by default? Patch attached.

Re: [O] Still Wishing for Snooze

Re: [O] Still Wishing for Snooze
Sam: I'd be delighted if you did this. I suspect you could do it in 1/10th the time that it would take me to figure it out. In the example below, I would want the Verify login... entry to reappear on the agenda starting on 2013-01-24 Thu. The easiest way to do this might be to just automatically delete the DELAY entry on that date. I imagine adding code to add the DELAY entry would be easy. The hard part is getting the agenda display to honor the DELAY entry when it is present and also to delete the DELAY entry when its associated date is reached. I've no idea where to add that functionality in the org-mode code. :AMN: On 01/23/2013 02:42 AM, Samuel Loury wrote: Andrew M. Nuxoll nux...@up.edu writes: 1.

[O] Editing comments or strings in Org mode
Hi, Org people. It is often suggested that literate Org programming means interspersing program fragments within an Org file. For practical reasons, I rather prefer adding Org documentation into my programs. So this helping tool which pops out a temporary Org mode buffer with the contents of the current block comment or (doc-)string, and which replaces the original once the editing is done. Some remaining issues, I know, and surely lots I do not know! The tool is usable enough to be shared, for those who would happen to have a use for it.

Re: [O] Feature: Group and limit items in agenda
For me this is enough. However, I wonder whether this could be useful for others. The proposed feature is a general group by and limit: - In agenda view, you are able to group todo or agendas with a certain criterion (category, tags..) - You are able to restrict the items shown in this group. Optionally, some special todo states could be unlimited. For example, I only want to limit the number of TODO tasks, while seeing all the DONE tasks. For others, maybe they want to see all the NEXT tasks, but limiting the number of TODO tasks. I wonder how many people would be interested in this feature. Otherwise it would just be a waste of time to generalize my personal taste. This sounds like a good idea. I'd love to group my different tasks in the agenda, instead of getting them sorted by due dates. Regards, Alexander
Re: [O] Using Org/babel for Emacs config files (was: OT: Learning ELISP)
I also have my Emacs configuration in org mode and it is really great. Before moving to an org-mode initialization file I had multiple elisp files and the main initialization file loaded the individual files. But having everything in one place with the outline and search powers of org-modemuch better. You can even put todos there if you want. There are many benefits of using tags in your initialization. You can, for instance, put a Keybinds tag in all headlines that change some keybindings. You can put a Flymake tag in all headlines configuring flymake for the different programming languages you use. If you need to locate the flymake configuration specific for python, for instance, all that is necessary is to do a tag search for the Flymake and Python tags. Note that Emacs does not evaluate your initialization org-mode file directly. It tangles all elisp blocks in that file to an elisp file and then load that elisp file as usual. The tangling can be slow if you have many blocks, but it only does that once after editing the org-mode file. Therefore, you don't get a performance hit by having your initialization in an org-mode file. You can also take advantage of this tangle process. For instance, I have a Themes headline where each child headline configures Emacs with a different theme. I set the TANGLE property of all of these headlines to no except one. Then Emacs will use that theme. You can easily enable/disable big parts of your configuration like this and I find it easier then commenting and uncommenting different parts of an elisp file. For visual feedback, I like to add the COMMENT keyword in the headlines where I have set the TANGLE property to no. -- Darlan At Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:40:35 +0100, Karl Voit wrote: Hi! * Jonathan Arkell jonath...@criticalmass.com wrote: I am a huge advocate of using org files and literate programming in your config files.

Check out the starter-kit-load function in https://raw.github.com/eschulte/emacs24-starter-kit/master/starter-kit.org On Wed, Jan 23, 2013 at 2:06 PM, Darlan Cavalcante Moreira darc...@gmail.com wrote: I also have my Emacs configuration in org mode and it is really great. Before moving to an org-mode initialization file I had multiple elisp files and the main initialization file loaded the individual files. But having everything in one place with the outline and search powers of org-modemuch better. You can even put todos there if you want. There are many benefits of using tags in your initialization. You can, for instance, put a Keybinds tag in all headlines that change some keybindings. You can put a Flymake tag in all headlines configuring flymake for the different programming languages you use. If you need to locate the flymake configuration specific for python, for instance, all that is necessary is to do a tag search for the Flymake and Python tags. Note that Emacs does not evaluate your initialization org-mode file directly. It tangles all elisp blocks in that file to an elisp file and then load that elisp file as usual. The tangling can be slow if you have many blocks, but it only does that once after editing the org-mode file. Therefore, you don't get a performance hit by having your initialization in an org-mode file. You can also take advantage of this tangle process. For instance, I have a Themes headline where each child headline configures Emacs with a different theme. I set the TANGLE property of all of these headlines to no except one. Then Emacs will use that theme. You can easily enable/disable big parts of your configuration like this and I find it easier then commenting and uncommenting different parts of an elisp file. For visual feedback, I like to add the COMMENT keyword in the headlines where I have set the TANGLE property to no. -- Darlan At Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:40:35 +0100, Karl Voit wrote: Hi! * Jonathan Arkell jonath...@criticalmass.com wrote: I am a huge advocate of using org files and literate programming in your config files.

Re: [O] Using Org/babel for Emacs config files
Hi, Naive question: Are there any performance issues with not being able to compile my config.org to config.elc as it is possible with config.el files? I used an init.org file in my initialization, and as long as you haven't recently modified your init.org, emacs won't re-tangle the org file (ie its as if you have a config.el file that's getting loaded) Of course, you can set emacs up to automatically recompile the config.el file when its generated so, there are literally no performance issues because you can still compile elisp code to load with the exception of when you edit your configuration.

Not sure, if there are that many advantages, that it is worth my effort, that's all. its a bit like writing with LaTeX - in some simpler but common cases its just great to write your stuff in Org and simply press a few keys for the LaTeX export. But dealing with LaTeX AND Org-mode when writing a big complex document might not be such a good idea, there will be enough problems with LaTeX only. I must admit I went back from Org-based multi-file config to a single big .el init file because of two reasons: - I frequently found myself looking for stuff in the tangled .el files instead of the .org files, because I was only interested in the lisp code and did not want to see all those comments in the .org files. - after figuring out that I can have full outline functionality in .el files too, the (in my eyes) main advantage of an org-based config was gone. Otherwise I really liked the org based starter-kit, it was well organized and definitely better than what I had before. -- cheers, Thorsten
[O] [PATCH] Turning off wrapping
I have file with a large number of SRC blocks, the output of which I
want to wrap as SRC (so I can use the listings package to format them
distinctly). The easiest way to do this is to make :wrap a global
property. Unfortunately, there are also a couple of places where I want
to turn off the wrapping, especially where I include source in-line.
For example, this:
#+PROPERTY: wrap SRC fundamental
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
This output comes from emacs.
#+END_SRC
This in-line src_emacs-lisp[:results value]{block} is wrapped.
produces:
,
| This output comes from emacs.
`
This in-line #+BEGIN_SRC fundamental block#+END_SRC is wrapped.
If I pass an empty :wrap in the in-line block, the result is still
wrapped, but as RESULTS instead of source.
The attached patch attempts to change this behaviour. Does anyone else
find this desirable? Is this patch a good way to do it?
Kind Regards,
Mike

Hi, Nicolas Goaziou n.goaz...@gmail.com writes: Affiliated keywords have to be put above elements they refer to, without a blank line in-between. Ok. Elements doesn't care about order for affiliated keywords (here results and attr_html), but Babel, which isn't built on Elements (yet), does. Hence, I suggest: #+attr_html: ... #+results: ... file With my patch to ob-core.el org-babel works fine with your suggestion. It just skips #+attr_...: lines as blank lines (original behaviour of org-babel is to skip blank lines between #+end_src and #+results, when it searches results block for updating). Of course, org-babel behavior may be easily changed to dissallow empty lines between #+attr_...: and #+results:. But currently org-elements allows next construction: , | #+attr_html: alt=big image width=100% | ^ | | | +- several empty lines between attr and file | | | v | file:123.png ` That is why I think that it is not necessary to make org-babel behavior different from org-elements (to dissalow empty lines between #+attr and #+results when it searches results block), at least for now. PS: Is there any good documentation and explanation of org-mode internals? I could help a little with rewritting org-babel to use org-elements. With best regards, Vasil
