Well, we disagree then :) I think it is useful to have a function that let everyone (not just newbies) know that some subtrees don't respect Org's writing conventions. It would be very useful. Just not /more/ useful. The most useful functionality is the one that just works without any intervention from the user. 2.

FYI: Nicolas and I have been discussing about the issue you raised, and the integration of org-element.el will force us to be clearer about such cases, which is good.

Because of that, previously I thought that what I wanted was impossible (without source change). Emacs outline-mode has a plethora of such specific commands, and exposes all of them as user interface. Org prides itself to have compressed that entire functionality into the TAB and S-TAB commands. You specific example, org-show-subtree is basically TAB TAB on a closed tree. SO yes, there are lots such commands, but I am no sure it would be good to expose them in the manual. That's the difference between a user manual (documents TAB TAB) and an API reference manual.

I'm currently using something similar with two drawers back-to-back: :LOGBOOK: shiny :END: :CLOSED: old cruft :END: That means I have to move old stuff by hand from LOGBOOK to CLOSED (what I really do is move the :END:/:CLOSED: markers normally), but the way I'm using this it hasn't been too much trouble. Yeah... that's really not what I want: a) because it would be too much trouble for me :-) b) because it would take up screen real-estate to show :LOGBOOK: and :END: about which I don't care at all. That said, I've been thinking of extending drawers to have stops, that is each visibility cycle on a drawer would just pull it out to the next stop. Specifically for timestamps there should be some function to auto-move the stop (current+last week for instance). Presumably if that was made into a more general function one could also just keep a certain number of lines before the stop. That too sounds cool, but really not what I'm after because of the extra verbosity. With every item there's information that's current and then there's the change history, and I want to keep the current information outside the drawer. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

[O] Org, Diffs, and Version Control
As I've been working on a fairly large Org outline over the past few days, I've discovered that the format is very ill-suited to management and review by (known) version control tools, like Git. Indentation is always changing and volatile information like tags and priorities tends to mix with headlines, which makes diffs very hard to track. This is to say nothing of the fact that diff itself is a poor format for understanding changes that simply reorganize parts of documents. I was wondering what other people do. I want to make sure I understand the changes I'm making to my document and that I haven't unintentionally wiped out a great deal of important material (all the more likely to happen without me noticing because of Org's folding). Hints most appreciated, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

How hard, on a scale from read the source and figure it out to org-babel already has the hooks; you can do it in 5 minutes, would it be to integrate the org-babel stuff with markdown?

[O] `f' in agenda view
It always strikes me as odd that `f' in agenda view moves the item forward by a day even if that leaves it still in the past. Typically if I have an overdue item, I just want to schedule it for today or a certain number of days in the future, and as it stands it's even a bit non-obvious when I've finally bumped it up to today if it's a few days old. Shouldn't the first `f' on an overdue item schedule it for today? I'm happy to hack something locally if the group doesn't agree, but moving things around in the past seems like such a corner case that I thought maybe this would be a better default behavior. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

What I need is a hook that acts like org-after-todo-statistics-hook, but for checkboxes. You just have to search for [ ] or [-] in the current section. If there is none, and there is at least one [X], you can mark your task as done. Silly me; I was looking for a programmatic interface that would handle things at a level of abstraction above pattern matching in text. But given the number of similar-looking regexps I see scattered through the Org code I'm guessing that's just not the way things are done. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

The documentation doesn't specify whether the cons cells are ANDed or ORed together when selecting refile targets. I'm not really sure what you mean, so let me tell you how I understand this variable and then come back to the question of what you would like to see. AFAIK, the variable is used to construct a set of possible targets: you select the items to refile and then you select *one* item from this set. There is completion: as you type, the set is cut down to whatever subset matches your current input - org does not let you finish until the refiling target has been specified uniquely. Each element of the org-refile-targets list generates a set of posssible targets. The whole set is the union of these partial sets. Since ORs map to unions and ANDs to intersections, I guess one could say that they are ORed together, but personally I find it confusing to think of it in these terms. Then think of it / describe it in terms of set unions. ORing predicates creates a set union. Assuming that this is correct, does it help? Yes. And if it is correct and it does help, what would you change in the docs to incorporate this information? And how? I would change the doc for org-refile-targets to say that the resulting list of targets is the union of all the targets matched by each cons cell.

I don't see a way to express that. If I could schedule a task for +1.4d or +1.75d (respectively), I'd be happy. Habits aren't really for scheduling, they're for monitoring a simple kind of consistency. Understood. So, if you *actually* need to do something four times a week, habits aren't the best way to express that need. Exactly. They don't have the expressiveness I want, as currently designed. If I had something that I wanted to do around four times a week, I'd use this: .+1d/2d Which means, I could do it 7 times a week, or I should do it 3 times a week, but I'm likely going to fall somewhere in between. I think I see. That means, literally, at most every day, but at least every two days? So, a couple of questions: - what would it change if I just wrote .+2d? - how would I express something that I want to do 5 times a week? Habits were never meant as a precise way to keep you on a schedule. I'm not thinking of them that way. I admit that every weekday is pretty precise, but that's merely at the extreme end of a spectrum of consistency. It's still a goal with respect to which I'd reasonably like to be able to monitor my success rate. The closest way I can think of to do that within Org's current framework is to schedule four different instances of your task, each with its own 1 week repeating interval. That way, you'd see the item appearing in your agenda four times. However, if you start slipping, things get very messy, very fast. Yes. Regular repeating events and habits both have this problem of no easy way to express interesting repetitions. Even my phone lets me schedule something that happens on weekdays or on two particular days each week. I think the basic parts of such a language might be: - predicates, e.g. Mon,Wed,Fri; the first week of each month; the first tuesday of the month - periods, e.g. 1 month - repetitions, e.g. 5 times General predicates are all you need to express repeating events. I think you need periods and repetitions for habits. Lastly, even if you did have a 1.4d repeating interval for a habit, Habits would only show you if you'd been consistent at doing the task every 1.4 days. It would never be able to tell you if you'd been consistent at doing it 4 times within any given week. Then 1.4d is clearly *not* the expressive tool I need :-) -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Ah, I didn't have the + on the previous line earlier. I can reproduce
this with the above example. Personally I would just turn off the
strike-through emphasis to 'fix' this problem but maybe the regexp that
matches emphasis on a line shouldn't allow newlines to match.
I'm not sure what other side effects this change might have.
I think that's too simplistic. We don't want to forbid multiline
strikethrough, but IMO markup detection should never propagate across
distinct items in a property drawer, across paragraph boundaries, etc.

Re: [O] Documentation suggestion re: buffers containing crypted entries
I was hit by this last week when I was investigating why my emacs initialization was taking so long. Later I found out that org-crypt was the culprit, since it added a sit for 5s in order for the user to actually see this warning. The problem is that org-crypt tests the value of the auto-save-default variable during loading time. This reflects the default behavior and not the actual auto-save status of the current buffer. Maybe a variable to disable this warning could be introduced so that the user could disable it after understanding the problem. Oh, yes please! I'm finding the delays introduced by this problem almost intolerable. Call me picky but I've gone to great lengths to make emacs very responsive and this sit-for really interferes! -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

I had mistakenly un-scheduled a bunch of items. Then I marked them all
in the agenda and tried to scatter over 20 weekdays (`C-u B S 2 0 RET')
and got this backtrace:

[O] Bug: Some bulk operations are slow [7.5 (release_7.5.135.g7021f)]

When bulk scattering, it happens almost instantly, with one display
update. With bulk rescheduling, there are painful flashing,
item-by-item updating, and screen redraws. All bulk operations should
be as painless as scatter is.

[Orgmode] Bug: org-meta-return and collapsed sections [6.33x]
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

When I am at the end of a line on a collapsed item and I hit `M-RET', I
expect it to insert a heading before the next *visible* line, i.e. after
this item. Instead, it injects the new heading before this item's
content.
It's arguable that `M-RET' should *always* insert a new item after the
current one, whether or not the current one is collapsed. I'm certain I
would appreciate that behavior, because it's the 99% case (how often do
you really want to separate a heading from its content?). I can always
hit `RET * * * SPC' (or whatever) in the 1% of cases where I need a
different behavior.

If it's really paramount to avoid a mixture, you must hide all descriptions, which would be a step in the wrong direction for me. I'm willing to improve the display of links, keep brainstorming!

This is especially true of email links, which are generally long and unintelligible by themselves. I have something set up that stores a link to every email I send, so I can easily link to follow-ups in my active Org items. As a result, I end up with *lots* of stored links, which makes this a real struggle. `org-insert-link' *does* already displays the description of the links like this: http://orgmode.org (Org Mode website) http://orgmode.org/worg/ (Worg website) The description is within the parenthese. I think it's good to have both the link *and* the description. What would be a better way of presenting the description? Since you asked: put the descriptions first. The links I store are fairly complicated: they bring up a virtual folder containing all the messages in the thread of the message I just sent, with the message itself selected. I'm sure the descriptions don't show up at all because they get pushed off the right edge of the window. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
