[O] 'bare' time stamps

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

I'm a fairly well versed org user for managing projects, on a personal
level.
I'm trying to set up some projects that need to have fixed numbers of hours
from other departments distributed among projects and/or users. In order to
do this cleanly, I'd like to be able to use 'bare' time stamps and time
ranges IE No dates
<01:00>   (1 hour)
<02:00>--<03:00>  1hr  1 hour time between 2&3
or something similar.
I don't believe org can handle this out of the box, but can anyone point me
toward a package, hack, etc that might meet my needs?

Read a little further down.  It's all in the syntax, you have to specify a

Re: [O] agenda events from table?

Hello,

I am facing what seems to be a common situation, yet I can't find a way
out. Imagine this scenario: A list of people, a number of
fields/properties per person, and the date for a personal meeting.
For convenience, I handle this information through tables.
Example:

| Name | Address | Sex | Rank | Date   |
|--+-+-+--+|
| A| blah| M   |3 | 2015-07-30 Thu 10:00 |
| B| | F   |   10 | 2015-08-11 Tue 15:00 |
| C| blah2   | |   13 ||
| D| blah3   | M   |   15 | 2015-09-28 Mon 07:00 |
|  | | |  ||

Question:
How can I get the meetings (the Names) to show up as Agenda events?

One of the successful approaches I tried is to use properties (instead
of table columns), and edit via column view. However, this is
significantly slower (for me) than using straight tables; also the
column view is nice, but not as clean as a straight table.

I tried to transpose a table into properties, but could not do that.

Any help or suggestions, please?

Thank you!

Agendas only pick up headlines,  which don't exist inside tables.  Your
attempt using properties is about as close as you can get.

Maybe you can build a custom table exporter and convert it to headlines,
then build your agenda from that?

Take a look at habits.  It has something similar IE you can set a due date
for a habit to be completed for say at least 3 days, but not more than 5
days.
Not exactly what you are looking for but might be adaptable.

I clock in and out of tasks as I work on them.  There is typically no
'SCEDULED' or 'DEADLINE' associated with the tasks.

I would like to produce a clocktable that works as a passible bill.

There are two things that make this difficult:

1. I would like the clocktable to have a column that indicates the date on
   which the activity took place.

2. I would like the an optional 'Rate' and 'Charge' columns to be added

As to 1:

The timestamp feature almost takes care of 1, except that it will not use
the
CLOCK property to set the timestamp.  Using the date (optional time) at
which
the CLOCK started would work as a good timestamp, and probably better than
something like the SCHEDULED or DEADLINE.  If the purpose is to indicate
when
the activity occurred, it would seem that the best order for picking the
time
stamp would be something like TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP_IA, CLOCK (begin),
SCHEDULED, then DEADLINE, that is from more specific to more general.

As to 2:

With an option like :rate set to, say, 50, the time column could be
converted
to dollars (or whatever currency) at rate * hours.  It would also be nice to
have that amount summed in the same way that time is summed by levels now.

With those items added, the clocktable would be usable as a billing
mechanism.  As it is now, it makes a nice start, but requires a lot of
massaging to turn a clocktable into an invoice.

Any chance of getting these features added?

Sorry for the split reply.
I have some code (a few simple functions) that creates  maintains a
property with a date stamp value that is automatically created /updated for
a headline every time it is clocked into.  This can then be displayed as a

 Okay, I have finally found some time to get back to this (been marking exam
 scripts, for my sins... ;-).
 
 If the capture template prompts for information, the whole frame is cleared
 and only the bare capture buffer is shown in the frame while the prompts
 are processed.  This is my main problem: I often want to include some
 information from the existing buffers in my org capture and all the
 information is hidden just when I want it.
 
 Once the prompts have been answered, the windows shown in the frame
 change with the original window present as well as the capture window.  This
 is too late.
 
 All of the above confirmed with emacs -Q.
 
 The question, I guess, is why does org-capture need to take over the whole
 frame while processing the prompts in the capture template?  If it needs to
 display the capture buffer while handling the prompts, why not display it as 
 it
 will once the prompts have been processed?

Are you using CUA mode by any chance?  If this is the case, when you highlight

Try C-S-c  ^ (same as C-C ^) (which using the non-CUA key binding)
And should sort just find for you.
The use of shift to override CUA bindings is very helpful, works for C-v  C-x

 Subject: [O] Display Agenda in Reverse Order
 
 Looked around some, but could find nothing that helped ...
 So I ask the list!
 
 When I display my agenda, the oldest (scheduled) items are earlier in the
 buffer, and the newest (today) are at the very end.
 
 Is there a simple way to reverse that schedule order?
 
 Ideally, my timed appointments (grid) would be displayed first, and then
 followed by today's scheduled items, yesterday's left over items, and so on
 until the oldest is shown at the very end.
 
 ASIDE
 
 As a major procrastinator, I have lines like this:
 
  personal:   Sched.389x:  TODO  Work on foobar
 
 Yes originally scheduled over a year ago!  :(
 
 I'd rather those very old items were at the *bottom* of the agenda
 ... easier to continue to ignore them that way ... ;-)
 
 /ASIDE
 
 
 Thanks for any ideas/suggestions!

Re: [O] CAPTURE in org-mode

Look into org-refile (mapped to C-c C-w)
This will allow you to move subtrees from one org file to another.

[O] [Feature Request] [ENTER] or [C-Alt ENTER] while on headline skip over drawers automatically

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

I use drawers a lot, some of which are set up by hooks when I'm entering 
headlines (most notably TODO keywords)
Given the new syntax that requires no text between drawers  headlines (if I'm 
recalling that correctly), I think it would be very usefull to have either 
[ENTER] (bound to org-return)(C-Alt ENTER is an alternate keybinding 
possibility) move point to start of line FOLLOWING any drawers, DEADLINE, or 
SCHEDULE lines, like this:

,** TODO this is a new headline[ENTER]
,point is now here, potentially breaking syntax
,:PROPERTIES:
,:MyProps: value
,:END:

,** TODO this is a new headline[ENTER]
,point is now here, potentially breaking syntax
,:PROPERTIES:
,:MyProps: value
,:END:
,point should may be here, maintaining syntax

Complication:
,** TODO this is a new headline[ENTER]
,:PROPERTIES:
,:MyProps: value
,:END:
,Is this text allowed here under new drawers syntax?
,:TIMELOGS:
,  CLOCK: [2015-04-08 Wed 08:05]--[2015-04-08 Wed 09:18] =  1:13
,:END:
,point should may be here, maintaining syntax

In above scenario, if drawers are allowed to be separated by text, [ENTER] 
should move point to following first drawer


Summary: [ENTER] on a headline line should move point to the next valid line 
for entering general text in order to preserve correct drawer syntax

[O] Adding time to timestamp in agenda view

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

I make pretty extensive use of some custom agenda views to manage and schedule 
my workflow.
Lots of todos with timestamps(Deadlines  Schedules).
It's fairly easy shift deadlines back  forth from agenda view using Shift 
right-arrow and Shift left-arrow

There is inconsistency in how this works however.
Deadlines may either simply be a day, or have a time component as well EG 
2015-04-11 Sat or 2015-04-11 Sat 11:00

The shifted arrow keys move deadlines forward or backward one day by default, 
carrying any hour:min info right along.
IF there is an hour:min component present, using one or two prefix arguments 
will shift the hour:min portion forward or backward
IF there is not, bare prefix arguments have no effect
A numeric prefix will always shift the Deadline forward or backward N days

What I would like is a way to ADD an hour:min component to an existing 
Deadline, and to directly enter an updated hour:min as needed.

Can't seem to find anything that will easily allow this other than moving from 
the agenda to the source of the headline itself  changing the deadline there.

Any ideas?

[O] bug#18870: \emsp and alignment in org clock report

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

Agendas can  do get exported.  Current agenda buffer can be exported using 
org-agenda-write to several formats. Custom agendas can be assigned file 
name(s) and automatically export to one or more file types. 

See: http://orgmode.org/manual/Exporting-Agenda-Views.html

 I can't speak for the technical details,
 
 but I get the sense that \emsp isn't the right thing to be displayed on an
 *agenda clock report* because agenda clock reports don't get exported
 (afaik).
 
 Even \__ is more preffered than an \emsp, as \emsp is not 'easy to read' per
 se.
 
 Since there are clearly difference in opinions, maybe a solution is to have a
 variable like 'org-clockreport-indentation-character' which defaults to \emsp
 for correct export, but could be changed to spaces or '\__' by the user. This
 would give people the choice between better export or better text-buffer
 display.
 
 Thoughts?

  The behaviour described – displaying “\emsp” instead of space
  characters – is a regression. That's what is being reported in this
  bug.
 
 There wasn't space characters in the first place, but \___ constructs.
 See commit bacfe5b4f7244eaf151f4e26a1d94dd8f66c1d19.
 
 Also, the bug is about table alignment when `org-pretty-entities' is used.
 
  Having some space character is not desirable as it would just move
  the problem the other way around (i.e., indentation would not appear
  during export)
 
  So the U+2003 EM SPACE character should be translated *during export*,
  and not be literally in the displayed text.
 
 No, because it means this character should be treated specially by Org (e.g.,
 LaTeX just ignores it so it needs to be turned into a space there).
 
 This is not a good idea, especially considering it is an invisible character.
 
  IS the above suggestion an acceptable solution?
 
 No, it isn't.
 
 An acceptable solution would be a character or a string that looks decent
 both in the buffer and in an exported document, without further processing.
 
  Note that this is not LaTeX-specific markup. This is called an
  entity, and is correctly exported in various back-ends.
 
  But not for display, which is the bug to be fixed here.
 
 Actually, it works more or less correctly for display on GUI with a non-nil 
 `org-
 pretty-entities', or calling `org-toggle-pretty-entities'.

Re: [O] Why don't datetrees use timestamps?

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

You can use a custom capture template and have timestamps of various sorts 
inserted.
For example, I have one datetree I use that inserts a date/time stamp using %T 
(%t gives only date, not time)
See the documentation for capture (hit C-c C C  to get into the customize 
interface then scroll down)
Hope this helps!

[O] Possible bug

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

I'm not sure if this counts as a bug or not:

If I run a custom agenda (eg. R) with sticky agendas, it displays in an 
buffer with the name
*Org Agenda (R)*
If this buffer is then renamed to e.g.
(rename-buffer *R-Agenda*)
*R-Agenda*
And is then refreshed by hitting r, the agenda is properly rebuilt BUT in a new 
buffer named *Org Agenda(R)*, resulting in two differing agendas.

Is this appropriate behavior? It seems that rebuilding the agenda should 
respect the current buffer name. I'm very new at programing for lisp, so I'm 
not sure I'm using the right functions here.

I've poked around a bit in the code, but my elisp-fu is quite weak. I couldn't 
find an easy way to pass a buffer name in to org-agenda to be used, nor was it 
entirely clear to me how to modify org-agenda to grab  respect the buffer name 
when rebuilding a 'sticky' one.

[O] How to include time when generating timestamp for DEADLINE/SCHEDULE

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

Both C-c C-d (deadline) and C-d C-s (schedule) bring up a calendar in the 
mini-buffer to pick a date
This is great
However, there doesn't appear to be any way to include a time in the deadline 
without going in afterwards and manually editing it.
This is not so great.

I would dearly love to be able to easily enter in deadlines for items with a 
full  date/time stamp. I frequently need to know that item X is not only due 
tomorrow (DEADLINE: 2015-02-13 Fri). But that it is due tomorrow at 1:00 PM 
(DEADLINE: 2015-02-13 Fri 13:00)
Manually editing to add the time stamp seems to cause no problems, and causes 
DEADLINES to locate in the time grid as expected, which is very helpful.
Am I just missing something, or is this a glaring hole in the scheduling 
mechanic?
Thanks!

 I believe you're missing something. While in the Date+time mini-buffer, you
 can enter a string such as 2015-02-03 1:00pm or 2015-04-21 13:50
 rather than just S+ARROWS to select the day. The yellow highlighted text will
 update accordingly to reflect how it's interpreting your input.
 Pressing enter should insert the deadline / scheduled date AND time.
[] 
Not really an acceptable answer. Having to use 2 different interface methods to 
fill in one time/date stamp value is confusing and cludgy. Plus, if you type in 
a full time/date stamp + time, you can still move around in the calendar, but 
it doesn't update the selected datestamp in yellow.  Also confusing.
I use the calendar to select a date, it works wonderfully, and quickly.   But, 
once a date is picked, having either a prompt or a simple picker that works 
with the S+ARROWS to select a time would be great, and make a much smoother 
interface.

 Greetings.
 
 I have a funny feeling I asked this before, but I can't remember and I 
 couldn't
 find it in a search.
 
 So let's say I have a task -- fix a computer.  I add some memory, I test the
 new memory and that doesn't solve the problem, and then I finally figure out
 it was the video driver.
 
 I could log that this way:
 
 * fix the computer
 **  added memory to the machine
 CLOCK: [2015-01-28 Wed 12:36] -- [2015-01-28 Wed 13:14]
 **  memory didn't resolve the problem
 CLOCK: [2015-01-28 Wed 13:28] -- [2015-01-28 Wed 13:53]
 **  finally found it -- it was the video driver
 CLOCK: [2015-01-29 Thu 09:12] -- [2015-01-29 The 11:30]
 
 but then my Agenda will have pretty disjoint notes about added memory to
 the machine.  I'd prefer that the Agenda either say fix the computer
 or (even better) fix the computer -- added memory to the machine.
 
 Is there something I can do that would add notes to an individual clock
 entry, something like
 
 * fix the computer
 CLOCK: [2015-01-28 Wed 12:36] -- [2015-01-28 Wed 13:14]
 added memory to the machine
 CLOCK: [2015-01-28 Wed 13:28] -- [2015-01-28 Wed 13:53]
 memory didn't resolve the problem
 CLOCK: [2015-01-29 Thu 09:12] -- [2015-01-29 The 11:30]
 finally found it -- it was the video driver
 
 that would still leave the clock lines attached to the main task, but still 
 keep
 some individual notes about the various pieces of the task?

 THanks for the good tips and examples; I'll keep them handy. So, listing the
 org-agenda variables the one I want to edit is org-agenda filter; however,
 changing this in my function does NOT change my agenda view the way it
 should. Here's what I'm trying:
 
 --8---cut here---start-8---
 ;; saving views
 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
   '((c Class agendas
 ;  ((agenda  ((org-agenda-span 7) (org-agenda-tag-filter
 +LMC_6215))) ;; No different results
((agenda  ((org-agenda-span 7) (org-agenda-tag-filter
 '(+LMC_6215 ;; in the agenda, org-agenda-tag-filter remains nil no
 matter what --8---cut here---end---8---
 
 Why is `org-agenda-tag-filter` being ignored when `org-agenda-span` is
 working?

Hard to say, it appears org-agenda-tag-filter is an undocumented variable, 
which I've never used. Glancing through the code it looks like an internal 
variable that will likely have any externally set values overwritten

You might try org-agenda-tag-filter-preset instead:
(defvar org-agenda-tag-filter-preset nil)

  A preset of the tags filter used for secondary agenda filtering.
This must be a list of strings, each string must be a single tag preceded
by \+\ or \-\.
This variable should not be set directly, but agenda custom commands can
bind it in the options section.  The preset filter is a global property of
the entire agenda view.  In a block agenda, it will not work reliably to
define a filter for one of the individual blocks.  You need to set it in
the global options and expect it to be applied to the entire view.

Note that this will need to go in a different position syntactically to be a 
global option for the view

Auto-fil-mode doesn't apply to headlines.  AFAIK, there is no way to 
automatically wrap a headline other than hitting enter, and this moves the rest 
of what you are typing into the body of the entry.
If I'm recalling correctly, wrapping headlines like you have suggested (which I 
would like myself!) would break the new more formal drawers format without some 
significant rewrite.

 Subject: [O] [ANN] [OT] New Android app (Orgzly)
 
 Hi,
 
 Sorry if considered spammish, but since it has been mentioned yesterday
 and it might interest some Android users out there...
 
 *NOTE* It's about an app which is *not* open source (some parts of code
 will opened, see below).  If you have a problem with that, you can stop
 reading right about now...
 
 Anyway -- it is an outliner, todo-managing, notes-taking, agenda-showing,
 org-mode-wannabe app, which uses .org files for encoding the notebooks in
 when syncing.
 
 Currently, only syncing to Dropbox is supported, but more methods will
 follow after the first production release (starting from SSH, Git, WebDAV
 probably).
 
 As mentioned, it is not an open source project, but some parts of the code
 will be released in the future.  Java reader/writer for org files is written 
 from
 scratch (imaginatively named jorgmode) and is a good candidate for that.
 Perhaps some Android-specific parts as well.
 
 You can find more (read: less) info on:
 
   http://www.orgzly.com/
 
 App is available on Google Play as Beta -- which means you have to join
 Google group https://groups.google.com/d/forum/orgzly-android-beta
 first, to get a link to it.
 
 It has a limited set of features, but it should be already useful enough
 -- you can create, edit, delete, move, promote, demote, cut, paste,
 schedule, tag, prioritize and search notes.
 
 And sync notebooks.  You might want to *copy* some of your org files to a
 new directory (or directories) you'll use for syncing and make sure you're
 happy with generated files.  Files should be identical *except* for some
 white space.  Let me know if it doesn't work for you or you notice anything
 else strange.
 
 Not too many different org files were used for testing -- worg, personal and
 some random ones found on the net were used.  If you know where to find
 some more, do tell.  Never enough for this kind of testing.
 
 Anyway -- hope you find the app useful (young as it is).
 
 Any questions, suggestions, ideas, issues, etc. are very welcome -- you can
 use the group mentioned above (posting by email is enabled), reply to me,
 or use supp...@orgzly.com.
 
 
 Thanks,
 
 Neven

 Why not create a specialized function which might ask for the title of the

 an /empty/ headline with these properties and place the point after the
 string of asterisks and a space, so that you can type the title?  Or, if we 
 are at
 it, why not use Yasnippet for that?
 
 Not exactly what you want, but maybe this is what you /need/?
 
 If not, I guess that advising org-return /might/ be the way to go.
 (For instance, you might check whether the user hits RET with the point at
 the end of a headline with empty contents.)
This last one sounds closest.  I'm not really familiar with how advising a 
function works though.
The point (for me) is to avoid interrupting my 'flow' while setting up 
projects, TODOs, etc.  I'm pretty well programmed to manually type my headlines 
and having some of the extra drudge work get added in automatically would help 
my process quite a bit.
Thanks for the suggestion!

[O] PROPERTY inheritance at the file level, and picking up all items

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

I'm trying to set up a buffer-wide property value for my project files.
Currently I have a level-1 header like this:

* project
:PROPERTIES:
:project_name: this_projects_name
:END:

I know this can be inherited by sub project, but I have many more level-1 
headers
* level1 header
** sub header

I can't seem to find a way to set up the property :project_name: to be a 
file-level or buffer-level property that is inherited and visible in custom 
agendas.
I've tried several variants including a level-0 property drawer and using 
#+PROPERTY :project_name project_name


(setq org-columns-default-format %10CATEGORY %30ITEM %TODO %PRIORITY 
%20project_name %LastWorked(Last Worked On) %LastWorked(Hours Ago){@min} %FILE)

Custom agenda command:
(Z Last Worked skip ((alltodo  ((org-agenda-skip-function (lambda nil 
(org-agenda-skip-entry-if (quote notregexp) \\:LastWorked\\:)))
(org-agenda-sticky nil)
(org-agenda-view-columns-initially t)  this also seems to not be working
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (tsia-down todo-state-down)))

The Skip function works great, but unfortunately the agenda also does not pick 
up any headers without a  TODO state even if they match the LastWorked regexp.
If anybody can provide some insight on either of these problems I would be much 
obliged!

[O] Table block help

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

How does emacs choose what special editor (or if one exists) to call when 
running org-edit-special at point?

I work a lot with data in tables in my org files, and often have tables 
hundreds of lines long that are often pasted in ascii and converted to org 
tables using C-c |
I generally want the tables to start out folded, which I currently accomplish 
by wrapping them in a #+BEGIN_TABLE/#+END_TABLE block
I'd love to be able to pop them out into a separate frame for editing using C-c 
' (org-edit-special), remaining in org mode the whole time.
I DONT want to call the formula editor with C-c ', even if I'm within the 
table itself. I could live with this as long as I can jump to start of line and 
pop out into a special buffer.
It looks like I should be looking toward org-edit-src-code, but it does not 
appear to be easily configurable for new/different language types.
A more advanced solution would be to pop the table out into a specialized 
table-editing minor mode, org major mode with some specialized keybindings to 
assist in editing the tables.

Any ideas? Any quick solutions?

 Hi Ista, Brett,
 
 Thanks for the hints, I'll try these.
 Some clarification:
  If the setup is purely environmental, and it takes a long time to
  perform, maybe you could do the set up once and then cache the
  resulting environment using the output of env.
 Unfortunately it takes a long time to set up, and its complicated (I have to
 initialize different versions of the software depending on which project I'm
 working on.) It can take up to 10 seconds to restore a saved environment,
 and it takes some setting up bootstrap the restoration command.
  I guess I'm missing something (like why the OP want's to run a shell
  in a separate window), but why not just
 I want the separate window because once the environment is set up, I also
 jump around a lot.  I record the pieces of shell script that are important for
 reproducing results in the notebook.  The snippets are then recycled across
 many sessions, and different pieces are used at different times (some are
 even used with different pieces of software).
 
 What I would like is to log into the remote machine, set up the software, and
 then have a way to tell emacs to send the org-src block to the set up
 environment so that I can build up the parts I need at that moment.
 
 I know this is working against the grain of the literate programming
 paradigm where the document and the source code are coupled, and
 tangling the document produces a program that can be executed.  I'm just
 wondering if its possible.  If not that's fine.  Really I'm just trying to 
 save
 myself a copy-paste (and the associated issues with it getting recorded in my
 .bash_history).

It's been quite a while since I used one (or even did much shell programming), 
so my details are a bit fuzzy. But, I think your solution is in Unix (I'm 
assuming that's what your using), not emacs itself.

Take a look at the concept of 'named pipes'

If you've got a shared file system or can remote mount, a process like this 
would probably work:

Create 2 named pipes
One you can write to on system A (eg. my_sys_a_pipe), with a small script on 
system B that reads my_sys_a_pipe and executes the commands it grabs
Second named pipe is created and stdout on system B is redirected to it, then 
system A listens to it  feeds what is received to stdout (my_sys_b_pipe)

Echo my list of commands  my_sys_a_pipe
echo  my_sys_b_pipe  (see below, probably want a loop here)

You probably also need to include a tag of some sort (echo sys_b_done or 
similar) as the last command and then run a read/echo loop on my_sys_b_pipe to 
terminate the driver script and make sure it returns to emacs.

Hopefully this isn't too confusing, unfortunately I don't have time to go back 
and look up my syntax, but I think conceptually it might get you down the road

[O] Include subtree pointed to by link on Ascii export

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

Is there a relatively straightforward way to configure or modify Ascii export 
to include the subtree pointed to at a link instead of the link itself?

Example:


#+PRIORITIES: A E A
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil H:2 num:nil

* 2014-11-14 Fri
** Order turkey
   - [ ] schedule pickup
   - [ ] get pepper bacon at pickup
** [[*Countertops][Countertops]]
** WORK some additional stuff
* tasks

** WORK Countertops
*** DONE order countertops
- [X] order countertops
- [X] schedule install
*** DONE order sink



Currently exports like this:

2014-11-14 Fri





HOLD Countertops







Order turkey





  - [ ] schedule pickup

  - [ ] get pepper bacon at pickup





WORK some additional stuff

~~





tasks

=



WORK Countertops





* DONE order countertops



  - [X] order countertops

  - [X] schedule install





* DONE order sink





What I'd like to see is this:


2014-11-14 Fri


WORK Countertops   Note difference here


* DONE order countertops

  - [X] order countertops
  - [X] schedule install


* DONE order sink


Order turkey


  - [ ] schedule pickup
  - [ ] get pepper bacon at pickup


WORK some additional stuff
~~


tasks
=

WORK Countertops


* DONE order countertops

  - [X] order countertops
  - [X] schedule install


* DONE order sink

Of course there's some issues to resolve such as subtree promotion/demotion, 
etc. but I think most of them are straightforward at least as far as making 
this useful

Thank you!  That does the trick.

I must say, this is a little confusing because an active region limits the 
output of the export to the active region.  Thus, the output of a single 
subtree misled me to believe that the scope of the export had been already 
limited to Subtree.

I now see the variable org-export-initial-scope, but that's a little too heavy 
handed (since one can't export the entire file if it is left set to Subtree.  
It would be nice if there was some way to have 'C-c @' automatically (and 
temporarily) set this variable to Subtree until the next export or until the 
region is de-activated.

Thanks again,
Dan

C-c C-e followed by C-s limits the export scope to the subtree at point quite 
nicely in my experience. It resets when the dispatcher is closed

[O] Agenda Help

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

I've been trying to work out a particular agenda for some time now.  Due to 
some known bugs in sorting with IA time stamps in some of the commands, I've 
been forced to branch a little abroad. I've got most of things worked out, but 
need a little guidance on the last remaining piece.

Here's the custom agenda command:

(Z Last Worked skip ((alltodo 
  
((org-agenda-skip-function (lambda nil

  (org-agenda-skip-entry-if (quote notregexp) \\:LastWorked\\:)))
   (org-agenda-sticky nil)
   
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (tsia-down todo-state-down)))

Some, but not all, headlines have a 'LastWorked' property holding an IA time 
stamp
Some, but not all, headlines with a 'LastWorked' property have a 'TODO' status 
IE meetings get an active datestamp but not a TODO status,
And have a 'LastWorked' property based on when meeting occurred.

The above command will pick up all the headlines with a TODO status and a 
LastWorked Property, sort by LastWorked, and displayed.
This is great.
What I also need is a way to pick up ALL headlines with a LastWorked Property, 
including headlines with closed TODO stati (IE DONE)
Using the 's' type agenda picks up all the right items, but the sort on 
'LastWorked' fails

Any ideas?

Subhan

 Yes, I do, but this is not what I'm looking for.  I want to see the

 (And I don't like the idea of moving the point to the end, pressing

 it...)

I accomplish this by using C-c C-l  RET RET (which is bound to org-insert-link

Technically it pops up the long link and description for editing in the message 
buffer, but they default to current values so effectively provide an easy 
display.  Works from anywhere in the highlighted link.
If nothing else it should point you at some modifiable code you can use for 
display.

[O] [help] need help with a skip function

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

Hi, I'm looking for an example org-agenda-skip-function that I can use to 
include all items for an agenda (IE alltodo) that have a certain property set 
(value doesn't particularly matter)
IE:
* TODO H1
  :PROPERTIES:
  :P1: date
  :END:
* TODO H2
  :PROPERTIES:
  :END:
So that H1 gets included, but H2 does not.
I know, it's simple to do with a search-type agenda, but unfortunately a bug in 
sorting for inactive time stamps makes that route unsuitable for my purposes.


Thanks!

Re: [O] Fold entirely done subtrees on startup?

It's not exactly what you want, but you can add a properties block to the 
subtree:

A little programming could probably automatically insert it on subtrees when 
status moves to DONE
This leaves only no-status entries to deal with

Indeed, it does appear to be the same issue.  I assuming no progress on fixing 
it?
I guess that leaves me with two workarounds (suitable for my purposes anyway):
Use the alltodo search type and either
A) write a customized skip function to exclude any entries without a 
'LastWorked' property entry
Or
B) write a customized sort so that empty entries sort to the bottom, not the 
top (possibly in both directions IE
ABCDE for tsia-up, DCBAE for tsia-down
Either of these will get me what I want.  I'm a reasonably competent 
programmer, a minimal elisper, and have almost no familiarity with the org 
code.  Any suggestions on which of these would be easier or more 
straightforward?
I did take a look through the code to see if I could sort this out myself, but 
couldn't really make heads or tails of it.

Re: [O] TODO items in lists (not headings)

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

Lists are very explicitly not intended to contain TODO items.
Checkboxes provide a bit of this functionality, sort of a ‘TODO lite’
I use something like this quite a lot:
** TODO notes from meeting:meeting:steve:susan:jane:bob:action:
   DEADLINE: 2014-09-19 Fri
   :PROPERTIES:
   :LastWorked: [2014-09-18 Thu 09:14]
  :END:
- Item 1
- Item 2
- [ ] action item 1
  - [X] sub action item
  - [ ] sub action item 2
- Item 3
extended meeting notes here

I’ve not used them at all, but there may be a way to set a statistics cookie 
for the headline, or if not a simple function to update a statistics-type 
cookie or property when an action item changes state

I do sometimes wish that I could include a TODO headline or tag a list item, 
but that is simply not possible under current implementations.
IE something like this:
** meeting
- TODO Item 1 tags: “tag1:tag2” LastWorked: [2014-09-18 Thu 09:14]
- item 2

With properties etc. handled in a way similar to BEGIN_SRC block headers

The problem is that list items/checkbox items are NOT headlines, and all the 
TODO code etc. is tied to headlines.

I haven’t looked at the code but I suspect an extensive rewrite to integrate it 
with the rest of the headline code.  Not as much if it’s kept as an isolated 
extension.

[O] default headers for source code blocks

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

My apologies if this is in TFM, but I can't seem to find it after substantial 
digging.
I'm using a lot of source code blocks lately.
What I'd like is a way to specify a set of default headers to insert when a new 
block is created.
Right now:
C-c C-v d sql RET
#+begin_src sql
#+end_src

What I want is this:
C-c C-v d sql RET
#+begin_src sql  :exports code :tangle yes :comments noweb
#+end_src

Is there a configuration variable I can set for this?  All I can find is refs 
to see source language documentation, but nothing that actually indicates 
if/how to manage it.

Re: [O] prioritizing and categorizing items in checklist

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

I may be wrong here, but I believe you are conflating plain lists and headlines
Plain lists may include checkboxes and start with '-'
- [  ] list item one
- [  ] list item two
  - [X] list item two.one
Etc.

Headlines may get priorities and start with '*{1,}'
* TODO [#A] headline one
* TODO [#B] headline two
** WORK [#A] headline two.one
Etc.

I don't think you can include priorities in list items nor checkboxes in list 
items.
Lists are supposed to be a 'lightweight' version of TODO headlines.

They can, however, be mixed like this, where each headline has it's own 
separate list underneath it.

* TODO [#A] headline one
- [ ] list item one
- [ ] list item two
  - [ ] list item two.one
* WORK [#B] headline two
- [X] list item one
- [/] list item two
  - [X] list item two.one
  - [ ] list item two.two
** TODO [#A] headline two.one
- [ ] list item one
- [ ] list item two
Etc.

Re: [O] org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date vs. org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp

Try
C-h v org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date
C-h v org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp

There are substantial differences between the two.
org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date, when set, ignores all dates, and overrides

org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp is more configurable to ignore past, future,

 The entire global setup is included at the end. For readability, here's the

 The rest tab is currently set up such that it will hide before the

 the agenda. Is there a way to keep it off the time grid while still perserving

[O] Help: How to keep/set fontification when switching agenda to columns view

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

I have a custom agenda I'm using that I need the extra information available 
from switching to columns view (C-c C-x C-c)
When I'm in agenda mode, TODO keywords are highlighted, priorities, links, etc.
However, when I switch to column view all the highlighting goes away
I tried using hi-lock-mode, which when called in column view went off somewhere 
and required a C-g to stop whatever it was doing. When returning from column 
view to the regular agenda view, the strings matching the regexp where 
highlighted.  Didn't do a thing to the table though.
I'm not sure where to go from here, any suggestions?  I'd be happy if I could 
highlight by column, even happier if I could highlight by regexp
Thanks for any help that can be offered!
Subhan

[O] Control of agenda window size

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

I've been working with some custom agenda commands, and I'm noticing that there 
doesn't seem to be any way to control the size of the split window used for 
display (sometimes it is 50%, sometimes much more.  Likewise the window that is 
opened to display an item from e.g. a clock table when tab is it (again, some 
agendas I'd like this to be a full-frame window)

Is there a configuration variable I can use to control these behaviors? I can't 
seem to find one, nor can I find any hooks that might be run after an agenda 
buffer is displayed.

Am I wasting my time here?
Thanks!

 Anyone using MobileOrg?

I have used it off  on for a couple of years. Unlike what seems to be the 
majority here, I primarily 
use it for data capture -- capturing time/date stamped notes(which it works 
great for), data capture, and so forth.
Unfortunately the issues with time stamps defaulting to 00:00 and the lack of 
property support have
made it difficult to do what I want (capture glucose readings, insulin, carbs, 
etc) without substantial 
post-sync processing. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to it.

Re: [O] MobileOrg

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

I wish I did.
I’ve tried using it on my Android phone. It appears pretty stable, but the 
documentation is limited and woefully out of date.
There’s also a few areas I’d like to do or see some enhancements on the mobile 
end, for example handling display or edit of properties is very limited, time 
stamp defaults should maybe be set to current time instead of 00:00, etc.
It feels like about 85% of a really good app right now, and I’d love to see it 
get to 95 or 100%, but as it is now it’s mostly useful as a display option 
rather than for capturing anything other than simple data.
I’m not an Android/mobile programmer or I’d try making some modifications 
myself.

[O] Sort agenda tasks by most recent clock time

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

Is there a way to do this? I'd like to make a list of my TODOs in an agenda 
(say type 't'),
And sort by time last clocked in (no clock time to the bottom)
All the options in org-agenda-sorting-strategy appear to work on timestamps, 
not clocktime entries.
Any ideas how this can be accomplished?
Is there a relatively straightforward way to add say a 'LASTWORKED  2014-07-31 
Thu 11:52' property
with a hook to update in on clockout?
Or do I need to tweak a setting to make org recognize the clock entries as time 
of day indicators?
Thanks!

[O] Feature Request: Merge subtrees in clock report

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

I'm looking for a way to merge subtrees with duplicate structure into a single 
subtree, primarily for the purposes of clockreporting on time.
In my mind it would work like this
'(org-merge-subtree-level 2) = determines how far down the tree to merge
org-merge-subtrees would match headlines down to the org-merge-subtree level, 
and if matched, content and further subtrees from matches would be merged into 
the first match. This could be done non-destructively or destructively 
(possibly another configuration option to determine this)
* m1
** mm1
   CLOCK: [2013-07-28 Mon 09:05]--[2013-07-28 Mon 09:30] =  0:25
   mm1 content
** mm2
   CLOCK: [2013-07-28 Mon 09:45]--[2013-07-28 Mon 10:13] =  0:28
   mm2 content
* m1
  CLOCK: [2013-07-28 Mon 09:30]--[2013-07-28 Mon 09:40] =  0:10
** mm2
   CLOCK: [2013-07-28 Mon 09:40]--[2013-07-28 Mon 09:45] =  0:05
   more mm2 content
** mm3
   CLOCK: [2013-07-28 Mon 10:30]--[2013-07-28 Mon 11:30] =  1:00
   mm3 content
(org-merge-subtrees) would produce a single tree:
* m1
 CLOCK: [2013-07-28 Mon 09:30]--[2013-07-28 Mon 09:40] =  0:10
** mm1
   CLOCK: [2013-07-28 Mon 09:05]--[2013-07-28 Mon 09:30] =  0:25
   mm1 content
** mm2
   CLOCK: [2013-07-28 Mon 09:45]--[2013-07-28 Mon 10:13] =  0:28
   CLOCK: [2013-07-28 Mon 09:40]--[2013-07-28 Mon 09:45] =  0:05
   mm2 content
   more mm2 content
** mm3
   CLOCK: [2013-07-28 Mon 10:30]--[2013-07-28 Mon 11:30] =  1:00
   mm3 content

Drawers should merge, CLOCK notes stay with the CLOCK line, etc

Ideally this would operate across files into a temporary buffer or var as well

Motivation is primarily to facilitate clockreporting.
Example: I have a project, RA, with 3 files in it.
I use a standard structure in files, like this
* overview
  project overview
* data files
** file 1
   content
** file 2
*** TODO generate data
* SQL
** query 1

I'd like to be able to generate a clocktable at the project level with all time 
spent on eg data files grouped and summarized into one entry. Instead what I 
get is something that looks like this (using my example above)
#+BEGIN: clocktable :block lastyear :narrow 30 :scope file :tcolumns 2 
:maxlevel 2
#+CAPTION: Clock summary at [2014-07-30 Wed 10:22], for the year 2013.
| 30   ||  |
| Headline   |   Time |  |
|++--|
| *Total time*   | *2:08* |  |
|++--|
| m1 |   0:53 |  |
| \__ mm1|| 0:25 |
| \__ mm2|| 0:28 |
| m1 |   1:15 |  |
| \__ mm2|| 0:05 |
| \__ mm3|| 1:00 |
#+END:

I guess this could operate either on the subtrees themselves, or maybe make 
clocktable smarter and have options to collapse tables like the above like this:
#+BEGIN: clocktable :block lastyear :narrow 30 :scope file :tcolumns 2 
:maxlevel 2 :collapse 2
#+CAPTION: Clock summary at [2014-07-30 Wed 10:22], for the year 2013.
| 30   ||  |
| Headline   |   Time |  |
|++--|
| *Total time*   | *2:08* |  |
|++--|
| m1 |  2:08 |  |
| \__ mm1|| 0:25 |
| \__ mm2|| 0:33 |
| \__ mm3|| 1:00 |
#+END:

And also work at the file level, so if the 2 m1 trees came from separate files 
they would be combined.

 From the tip of the master branch, you can do

 C-u C-u C-c C-x C-d and get a prompt for a time range, clocked entries from 
 this time range will be overlayed with the time spend.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'the time of the master branch', but I 
can't get any prompt for a time range with this command anywhere in the file.

[O] Agenda/report of all headlines with clocked time

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

Hi, I'm looking to develop an agenda or even a list that will report the 
following for a buffer
Or for agenda-files:
All headlines with time clocked for the specified time range, or without time 
clocked for specified time range

IE by day or week
Must include headlines without a TODO status

The list in the *Clock Task Select* buffer is close,  but not quite there
Thanks!
