Ok, based on this and Marcin's comments, I'll do it the LaTeX way (which was my first choice anyway). Naturally, I'm using org to keep a TODO list of the formatting details I need to match...

One nice thing about this use of tags is that you have a representation of when more than one person is working on a task, but that makes the clock less useful, as it can no longer represent an individual's working time without some effort to separate the clocks of the different owners. > For example, often I clock into a task while I do the work of > sub-dividing it into smaller tasks.

So one problem case is where you "own" a task, but someone else owns one of its subtasks, e.g.: == * Clock tables #+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 2 :scope file :tags "+gareth" #+CAPTION: Clock summary at [2013-04-29 Mon 18:25] | Headline | Time | | |++--| | *Total time* | *3:05* | | |++--| | TODO Task 1| 3:05 | | | \__ TODO Subtask 1 || 1:05 | | \__ TODO Subtask 2 || 1:00 | #+END: #+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 2 :scope file :tags "+john" #+CAPTION: Clock summary at [2013-04-29 Mon 18:17] | Headline | Time | | |++--| | *Total time* | *1:05* | | |++--| | TODO Task 1| 1:05 | | | \__ TODO Subtask 1 || 1:05 | #+END: * TODO Task 1:gareth: CLOCK: [2013-04-29 Mon 18:15]--[2013-04-29 Mon 19:15] => 1:00 ** TODO Subtask 1 :john: CLOCK: [2013-04-29 Mon 18:15]--[2013-04-29 Mon 19:20] => 1:05 ** TODO Subtask 2:gareth: CLOCK: [2013-04-29 Mon 16:16]--[2013-04-29 Mon 17:16] => 1:00 == Notice that Gareth gets credit for John's time on Subtask 1, because Gareth owns Task 1. You can avoid this particular gotcha in (at least) two ways: 1) Remove the :gareth: tag on task 1 and move the clock time to subtask 2 (more generally, "ownership" tags and clock times should only appear at the lowest level of the task tree). Maybe this makes the most sense, but it slows down the worflow a bit and is hard to enforce, etc. 2) Use a tag filter like "+gareth-john" to build the clock table (more generally, the clock table for each person should exclude tags for all the others). This prevents double counting and is easy to enforce, but if any tasks have more than one owner, no one will get credit for their clock times. > Again, perhaps my workflow is at fault, and I should be organising > myself in a more principled way. And perhaps in practice I'll find that > tasks do tend to be owned by just one person anyway. Yeah, it's a hard problem with no general solution that I can see. The best thing is just to figure out what constraints you're willing to put on your workflow, given what Org allows you to do. Hope that's helpful! Best, Richard

[O] Orgmode 8.0.2: Possible bug in `org-insert-heading` when invoked at end of a heading with a property
Hello fellow Orgmode users, Have installed orgmode 8.0.2 last night, and loving it so far. Facing one issue (or change in behavior) though. This is on Emacs 24.3. Looks like M-RET (`org-insert-heading`), and it's equivalent M-S-RET (`org-insert-todo-heading`) are behaving a little erratically when invoked from the _end_ of a heading that has a property drawer. An example will perhaps help: With a heading _without_ any property drawer, such as: *** A Heading ^ ^ Beginning End If I invoke M-S-RET at the beginning or end of the heading, then I get the expected behavior, where I get a new item created as: *** <- This is created if invoked from the _beginning_ of the line *** A Heading<- The original heading *** <- And this is created if invoked from the _end_ of the line However, if there is a _drawer_ on the heading, then the behavior when M-RET is invoked from the _end_ of the line is: *** A Heading with a Drawer :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: TEST :END: *** <- The second item's outline ^^^ Note that the second item's outline got indented, and has leading spaces (indented?) This is inconsistent with the behavior in earlier versions of Orgmode. Not sure if this is a bug (since there seems to be new functionality such as C-u C-u M-RET to add a new item at end of the parent's subtree in version 8.0). Thanks, -- Anupam

[O] [org][gpg] Encrypt org-attachments?
Hi list, Is it currently possible to use gnupg to automatically encrypt/decrypt files attached using the org-attach feature? If not, would it be hard to implement? The org-crypt feature is great and I use it all the time to keep sensitive data in my reference file, but when I need to archive files (often scan of documents) I would also like to have the ability to automatically encrypt them when filing, and them decrypt them when using org-attach to open the file. Thanks, Marcelo.

[O] [Taskjuggler] Status of exporter
Hi all The Taskjuggler Exporter has seen some major updates. We finally have a nice out-of-the-box experience with tj3, so please give it a spin. What's new? Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou the exporter has been ported to the new export engine. On top of that I added some features that have been requested and there are some pending issues that I'd like to get fixed, see below: Changes ═══ Process and open Previously the exporter just exported a tjp file (at least for tj3). Now there is a new command to process the exported tjp file with tj3 and open the reports in a browser. Dependency resolution against plain IDs ─── There was some discussion on the list about dependency resolution. A good way to express dependencies is to use the org-id module. This is now supported in that it resolves dependencies not only against "task_id" but also against the "ID" of a task. Default reports can use document title ── John Hendy proposed to create a possibility to integrate the document title in the default reports. This is now possible by specifying a %title in the default reports. See the doc string of `org-taskjuggler-default-reports'. Use both scheduled and start to determine project start ─── John Hendy again reported an problem that the project start was not using the scheduled info. This is now fixed. Misc bug fixes ── Nicolas Goaziou fixed a number of bugs and typos in the code. Pending ═══ Change mapping of DEADLINE property ─── The DEADLINE property is currently mapped to the "end" attribute in the tjp export. The "end" attribute gives tj3 an indication as to when a task should end. Also it has some influence on the scheduling policy (ALAP) which might not be what the user expects. IMHO this is not exactly the semantics of the DEADLINE property. A better fit would be the "maxend" attribute. For that reason I'd like to propose a backward incompatible change to map the DEADLINE property to the "maxend" attribute. Patch by Baptiste ─ This patch fixes some problems with milestones. However it depends on above change. Add the text nodes as a note It would make sense to export the text content of a headline as a tj3 "note". The new export engine should make this possible. -- Christian Egli Swiss Library for the Blind, Visually Impaired and Print Disabled Grubenstrasse 12, CH-8045 Zürich, Switzerland

That sounds like a good idea - thanks! I hadn't thought of using :tags on a clock table. I still worry if we'll find ourselves in a situation where more than one of us has clocked in some time on the same task. For example, often I clock into a task while I do the work of sub-dividing it into smaller tasks. And often when I'm actively working on a task, I'll create a sub-task of my current-clocked-task on the fly. It seems to me that if I continue with this sort of working practice, and attempt to collaborate with others who work similarly, then we might quickly find that it's not easy to describe a given task (or even subtask) as being "owned" by a single person. Again, perhaps my workflow is at fault, and I should be organising myself in a more principled way. And perhaps in practice I'll find that tasks do tend to be owned by just one person anyway.

Eric S Fraga writes: > I am going a little crazy here! I have an org document which I need to > export to PDF using latex. [not an answer, but rather a feature request] I would like to be able to export drawers to ASCII too, although, as Nicolas mentioned in an earlier thread, the ascii exporter currently does not handle this. IMO, every exporter should offer the option to export _all_ the info in an Org file (the backend might possibly able to digest). At the moment, when I want to share an Org-file as text with non Org-users, all I can do is save it as .txt file, which results in a complete, but rather unreadable output, expecially when there are many timestamps, tags and drawers involved. -- cheers, Thorsten

[O] [new exporter] how can I export drawers?
Hello, I am going a little crazy here! I have an org document which I need to export to PDF using latex. Everything works just fine with the new exporter except for one thing: I cannot get it to export drawers. I have set org-export-with-drawers to t, I have set "d:t" in the OPTIONS line, I have defined org-latex-format-drawer-function as described in the documentation. None of this has made any difference. Now, having looked at the code, it almost seems that there is no such functionality? Grepping for org-export-with-drawers only brings up three lines in all of lisp/*.el, none of which does anything with this variable. Is there any way to export drawers (LOGBOOK in my case)?

Hello, I have just upgraded to the Org 8.0. Nice work! :) But I have a problem with the exporter: I have modified by org-exporter to export latex-files with the xelatex compiler. The implementation uses the "org-export-latex-after-initial-vars-hook"-hook to reconfigure the default process, however, this hook seems to be deleted and I'm not able to find equivalent hook. Cheers, Søren

Nicolas, > Isn't it a LaTeX limitation?

[O] Repeating tasks
Hi there, Does anybody knows how to setup org to schedule repeated task between a specified range of dates. For example, suppose I plan to work on a grant proposal between 10 am - 1 pm every other day from May 1 to June 1, how would I do this ? My current practice is specify the start date with a repeater (in this case +2d), and then delete task when the deadline has passed. It though it would be more efficient I could assign a date range rather than just the start date. Cheers, M

[O] Exporting an article to a (very) specific formatting template
Actually, let me take a few steps back from my specific question about the title command. There are some other workflow questions that might make that question redundant. This journal (for some reason unknown to me) has designed the publication format in MS Word, and there are some specific requirements. So I have a couple of choices: - Export to LaTeX, and try to reproduce their layout (likely with a new document class based on "article"). That's a chunk of work, but they also confirmed that I could send PDF as long as it follows the style guidelines. - Export to ODT. This is probably simpler for setup -- I'd probably just need to change some of the names of paragraph or character styles in their template so that org can find them for section headings, abstract etc. But... there is more risk of the formatting breaking. If I send .odt, MS Word might choke on it, or similar if I resave my .odt as .docx. (The word online is that LibreOffice does not do well saving docx.) Or, export to ODT and let LibreOffice turn that into a PDF. I hesitate to do this, when LaTeX is a far superior typesetter. (But, tweaking all the formatting details in LaTeX is quite likely to give me some more gray hairs...) Advice? Thanks -- hjh
