Re: [O] how to make relative file links?

[David Belohrad]

ups, second test. it really works. I have messed up settings on two
computers, one had adaptive and one absolute setting of this variable. 

sorry for the mess.

Re: [O] how to make relative file links?

[David Belohrad]

i have it set to adaptive, but always finish with absolute paths, even
if the link is into sub-directory of directory, where the current org file is.

Wouldn't the output of a function be something mutually exclusive with
summary types?  In other words, a column can be defined to use a
summary type, or it could be defined (with the proposed idea) as the
output of a function, but not both at the same time.

After playing around some more with org-collector, I found that it can
in fact do some of the things I had previously thought it couldn't do,
like specifying custom values for column headers.  The documentation
on worg for org-collector seems a bit lacking, in that it doesn't
cover all of the available properties you can use on a "#+BEGIN:
propview ..." line.  I had to read through the code to identify some
additional properties I could use.

Nonetheless, it seems that org-collector doesn't make the level of a
headline available as a property, so there isn't a good way to achieve
an equivalent to column-view's :maxlevel property in org-collector.
If this were made possible in org-collector, it would be able to do
(at least) most of what column-view can do.  But, there are also the
:hlines, :vlines, and :skip-empty-rows properties for column-view,
each which don't appear to have an equivalent with org-collector.

One other difference has to do with the "default value" when a
property isn't defined -- org-collector sets the default value to 0,
while for column-view it seems to be an empty string.  I therefore
modified org-collector to make it easier to set this default value
when defining a dynamic block:

[O] how to make relative file links?

Dear all,

i've just noticed one annoying thing. When I specify the relative file
link by org-insert-link, then I specify 'file:' , then i specify
filename with relative path, the function converts the relative path to
absolute path. so when i move my org files into another location,
well...

is there any way how to tell to org-store-link (and as well to %a in
org-capture templates) to specify link path relative to the file the
link is stored in?

It's better to use `case' as long as we support Emacs 23.

One possible negative effect I can see is that users have to be extra
careful what type of output such functions will produce, so that this
output can be used by a summary type.

Yes, I understand this, and my objection is not really technical: this
is just a vague intuition of what traps users may fall in.  But I'd say
that we should try every other ways (like Babel, org-collector, etc.)
before going down this road -- and someone will have to implement this
anyway... but that's just not me :)  (I don't want to close a door.)

Thanks -- I remember we had this issue before.  I'm just surprise I'm

You don't get the parse-tree structure, you get Org syntax within
a propertized string. Try (org-no-properties contents) instead.

[O] org-index.el replaces org-favtable.el

[Marc Ihm]

Hello,

within the contrib/lisp-directory of org, org-favtable.el has been removed and 
replaced
by its successor org-index.el. I would like to suggest, that anybody who is 
still using
the old package org-favtable.el would make the same switch.

Besides beeing renamed, org-index.el has more features and less bugs than 
org-favtable.el.
A version history is kept as comments in the file org-index.el itself, see:

http://orgmode.org/w/org-mode.git?p=org-mode.git;a=blob_plain;f=contrib/lisp/org-index.el;hb=HEAD

The transition should be smooth, because org-index.el is only a new release of 
the program,
albeit with another name.
To switch, simply edit your .emacs and rename the variable org-favtable-id into 
org-index-id.
Please give me note, if there are any problems !


Best regards,
Marc

Rick is listed as a contributor, so the TINYCHANGE marker is wrong.

Besides, that change breaks test-org-table/compare, which for whatever

This is caused by the following constructs in test-ob.el:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(ert-deftest test-org-babel/inline-src_blk-default-results-replace-line-1 ()
  (let ((test-line "src_sh{echo 1}"))
;; src_ at bol line 1...
(org-test-with-temp-text
test-line
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

ert-deftest is a macro and when it gets expanded the let binding is not
yet established, thus the expansion of test-line fails further down in
the body.  I'm not sure if this is supposed to work or not.  The older
Emacsen just didn't expand the macro at all so the body was interpreted
at runtime, Stefan Monnier made this an error a while back in trunk,
IIRC.  You might ask on emacs-devel for more details.

Re: [O] Yet another question about email and org-mode

[Alan E. Davis]

I appreciate the input, but did not understand how to make my case work.
Thank you to those who responded so unselfishly.   I thought I would now
dredge up the thread to redirect this, and a couple of other questions
about email.

All I want it a copy of my outgoing email and threads thereof (I use Gmail)
to be present on my system, so I can search easily.   I discovered the
variable "message-send-rename function" which should make it relatively
easy to set something up.  I envision recovering the name of the recipient
from the first lines of the message, or else just using the email address
as a postfix to save the message in a certain directory, easily accessible
from org-mode.

Incidentally, the function "oog" was useful to me for a long time, but for
a long while I have been unable to use it.  Everytime the following message
is typed out in the minibuffer:  Wrong type argument: markerp, nil.

Another recent issue for me was that my message buffer wasn't saved, when
an unusual event happend on my Arch Linux box, using openbox window
manager: emacs locked up, when I was editing a message.  It was a long
letter related to an employment application, and, as far as I've been able
to discover, it was not autosaved at any time duirng the editing of this
message (an your or two.)   Unusual, especially when I not that an autosave
directory has been enabled for messages, by default.

I would like to ask whether someone who understands email can give some
advice about these three issues?

C-c / T TODO does not do what I’d like — it seems to open a view of the buffer

for other arguments, and thank you for pointing me towards it).

I’m thinking of writing a custom agenda view for this, that traverses subtrees 
and displays then, and will let you know if I do this.

Thanks!

Not in all circumstances.  

 -- Macro: defcustom option standard doc [keyword value]…
 This macro declares OPTION as a user option (i.e., a customizable
 variable).  You should not quote OPTION.

 The argument STANDARD is an expression that specifies the standard
 value for OPTION.  Evaluating the ‘defcustom’ form evaluates
 STANDARD, but does not necessarily install the standard value.  If
 OPTION already has a default value, ‘defcustom’ does not change it.
 If the user has saved a customization for OPTION, ‘defcustom’
 installs the user’s customized value as OPTION’s default value.  If
 neither of those cases applies, ‘defcustom’ installs the result of
 evaluating STANDARD as the default value.

 The expression STANDARD can be evaluated at various other times,
 too—whenever the customization facility needs to know OPTION’s
 standard value.  So be sure to use an expression which is harmless
 to evaluate at any time.

The last sentence is the one important here.

Maybe org-pomodoro should use something like this:

(defcustom org-pomodoro-sound
  "/resources/bell.wav"
  "The path to a sound file that´s to be played when a pomodoro was finished."
  :group 'org-pomodoro
  :initialize 'custom-initialize-set
  :set (lambda (var val)
 (if load-file-name
 (set-default
  var (concat (file-name-directory load-file-name) 
"/resources/bell.wav"))
   "/resources/bell.wav"))
  :type 'file)

That way (get 'org-pomodoro-sound 'standard-value) would *always*
return something, which is the whole point.

Feel free to point to this suggestion when following up on github.

Best,

Thanks for the pointer but it looks like this macro runs afoul of the
capture process somehow.  I redefined my function as you have above and
did C-xC-e to reload it and then initiated a capture from a window
showing my GNUS summary.  It fails with:

byte-code: Capture abort: (buffer-read-only #)

I then tried another capture staring from a read-write buffer.  The
capture succeeds but the captured text is inserted into this starting
buffer instead of the one found by the bv-daily-log-file function.

The Elisp manual mentions that save-selected-window is sometimes a
better alternative but that gives the same behavior.  

Do you maybe have further ideas I could try?  

Thanks,

Re: [O] Can't export two figures in one document to odt

Hi,

I cannot reproduce this bug. I copy-pasted the below code, exported from
Org 8.2.1 and opened the expected two-figure document in LibreOffice
4.0.4.2.
 
Does this happen with emacs -Q ?

What do you see if you open up the content.xml of the .odt document?

I have this capture template :

I'm not sure this is a bug of org-pomodoro. I think org-pomodoro is
correct in its assumption that `load-file-name' is non-nil. Maybe it
is `org-submit-bug-report' that should pay attention to what it is
doing.

I am venturing in to the wild here and it will take multiple iterations
for me to even get a "feel" for what needs to be happen.  I am not even
sure what is right or wrong here.  Anyways...



Further to our exchange on the emacs-devel list,

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-11/msg00134.html

I see that the file you passed me has no bi-directional markers
whatsoever.  I think presence of markers would affect how libreoffice
would layout the table.

I suggest that you pass me an Org file, that has the right
bidi-paragraph-direction (as a local variable) and has the right set of
bidi markers.

(Furthermore, explicitly mark the org file as utf-8 coded.  I am not
sure what coding system the attachment is coded to.  When I view the
attachment in Gnus, I only see the latin characters.)



As for getting the table cells laid right, try this out.

1. Export a hebrew.org file to hebrew.odt
2. Open the .odt file in LibreOffice.

   F11->Page Style->Default Page Style->Page->Text Direction->Set it to
   "Right to Left".

   I think that this would set the predominant direction of your
   document.  I believe, it would correspond to bidi-paragraph-direction
   setting.

3. File->Save as->somefile.ott

   Now in your hebrew.org file, add this directive

   #+ODT_STYLES_FILE: "hebrew.ott"

   This will make the exported document an R2L document.

4. Export again.  See what happens



(The process is the same for setting your preferred font.)

It is getting placed rightly.

Here is the screenshot of what I get (with no additional customizations
at my end).  I use freeplane, btw.

As for styles, you need to customize your styles in Freemind exporter
and move over the XML to ox-freemind.el.  If you have a specific
question wrt style, I can help.  But I need to be convinced that you are
using the right exporter i.e., no installation issues etc etc etc.

Re: [O] Line breaks in org-mode having version control in mind

[Jambunathan K]

If you have really l...o...n...g lines you need to turn on some sort of
caching so that Emacs display doesn't start sucking.  

I believe the variable you need is this.  Just double check.  I use
development version of Emacs so the details could differ for your
specific version.

cache-long-scans
  Variable: Non-nil means that Emacs should use caches in attempt to
speedup buffer scans.

** `cache-long-line-scans' has been renamed to `cache-long-scans'
because it affects caching of paragraph scanning results as well.



Org files in sense paragraph oriented and not line-oriented.  There was
some work on Org Merge Driver.  (Search for it in the list).  I had also
pointed out this LibreOffice GSoC project earlier -
http://gsoc-tzvetelina.blogspot.in/ - the ideas discussed therein could
be of some relevance to building a Org merge driver.

Not true.  The exporter is available over the new export framework.

Just look at English strings there.  That should give you a pretty good
idea of what you can do.

You can also search for the string - left or right - and you know that
the exporter already has some trick up it's sleeve.

Unless you give an example, it is difficult for me to understand what
you want to achieve.  How does your Org file look like and what node you
want to position left.

Re: [O] freemind export?

[Jambunathan K]

See the attachment.

You can search for right and left in the XML produced.  First headline
goes right, second headline goes left, third one goes right, so on and
so forth.

If you could locate the bug I am willing to circulate a fix.

IIRC, The patterns are per-file.  There are some 6 or so hi-lock faces

If you are running development version of Emacs you can further
customize `hi-lock-auto-select-face'.

[O] Bug: odt table exporter bug with rel-width [8.2.1 (8.2.1-30-g757f00-elpaplus @ /home/dfeich/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20131104/)]

[Derek Feichtinger]

Dear developers

When exporting a document containing a table and using the :rel-width
modifier (as documented in [info:org#Tables in ODT export]), an error is
returned:

 #+ATTR_ODT: :rel-width 50
 | Area/Month|   Jan |   Feb |   Mar |   Sum |
 |---+---+---+---+---|
 | / | < |   |   | < |
 |  |   |   |   |   |

 |---+---+---+---+---|
 | Sum   |16 |   123 |  2560 |  2699 |

OpenDocument export failed: Format specifier doesn't match argument type

Reason is that the plist-get in line 1458 of ox-odt.el returns a string
reprensentation "50" of the :rel-width number, but the
org-odt-table-style-format
variable contains a %d conversion string for this parameter.

  (loop for (style-name props) in
(plist-get org-odt-automatic-styles 'Table) do
(when (setq props (or (plist-get props :rel-width) 96))
  (insert (format org-odt-table-style-format style-name props

Either the conversion string should be changed to a %s or the plist-get
obtained value should get converted to a string.

[O] LaTeX Radio Tables

[Zephy]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use orgtbl radio tables in LaTeX. Setting them up works 
just fine.
However when trying to convert the table to TeX format, it behaves 
weirdly in
regards to special characters such as _ or ^. It escapes the character 
with \ and

attaches two brackets {} to it.

The following code is an example of what I mean.

% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL tlratiosys
\hline
$p\_{}{\text{T, jet}}$ \\
\hline
% END RECEIVE ORGTBL tlratiosys

\begin{comment}
#+ORGTBL: SEND tlratiosys orgtbl-to-latex :splice t
|--|
| $p_{\text{T, jet}}$ |
|--|
\end{comment}

I looked for possible solutions and found the otption :noescape t, which 
sadly does

not do anything at all.


Thanks for your help,

Zephy

[O] Bug: Can't report org bugs when org-pomodoro is installed [8.2.1 (8.2.1-15-ge5cecc-elpaplus @ /home/cassou/.emacs.d/.cask/24.3.1/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20131021/)]

[Damien Cassou]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

 http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list.


If you download and install org-pomodoro in your `org-modules' list, you
won't be able to report bugs with `org-submit-bug-report' anymore. The
problematic line in org-pomodoro is

  (concat (file-name-directory load-file-name)
  "/resources/bell.wav")

This line appears twice in org-pomodoro.el. It looks like the
`load-file-name' variable is nil in the context of
`org-submit-bug-report'.

Hi Bastien,

org-require-autoloaded-modules is the function that produced the error.

http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode.git/commit/6c48056b2bc46038f123e275ec44af384785e886

Thanks for the fix, I will try re-running the survey as soon as I get the
updated org-plus-contrib.

Thank you very much John!!! Your document contains a wealth of information on

Perhaps it would be good to have a repository of practices and examples

All the best,

It works, but it gives pollution. It take the last minutes from B and put
them to A. (And it was somewhere in the middle I spend the time.) Also when
I have worked on two other projects while working on the project, it does
not work of-course.

Adding can be done by something like:
CLOCK: [2013-11-05 Tue 00:00]--[2013-11-05 Tue 00:15] =>  0:15
CLOCK: [2013-11-05 Tue 00:00]--[2013-11-05 Tue 00:15] =>  0:15

This works, two times 15 minutes is added, but sadly this does not work:
CLOCK: [2013-11-05 Tue 00:15]--[2013-11-05 Tue 00:00] => -0:15

Yes, this is the problem of course.  I just copy-pasted the setup code
into my .emacs without looking at it  Foolish!
Busy today and likely tomorrow but I'm going to try to rewrite
writers-room as an extension of navi-mode.  The navi-mode buffer is so
much superior to my navigation guide, I don't see how I can use mine
anymore...

I noticed that 'org-element-cache-reset' function is "defined" in
'org.el' (actually it is "declare-function" as many others) and used in
2 placed in that file.

At 1/5 of 'org.el' file there is (require 'org-footnote) and in that
file there only one "call" to org-element-cache-reset function *without*
defining it (no 'declare-function'). That "call" is in function
'org-footnote-section' and has form

  :initialize 'custom-initialize-set
  :set (lambda (var val) (set var val) (org-element-cache-reset 'all))

As I understand, the chain: (require 'org) [in .emacs] which it turns
(require 'org-footnote) which has 'initialize' and call to
'org-element-cache-reset' leads to this issue.

(As I said earlier I don't know Emacs Lisp well enough so use quoted
terms).

I tried to put 'declare-function' into 'org-footnote.el' but without
luck (other error message), so I came up to my workaround (I noticed
that there is a line in 'org.el' which do something with
'org-footnote-section' and set it to nil).
