[Orgmode] Day workflow: need your opinion
Hi, I am not a serious org-mode user but I am trying to use it again for daily task planning (which everytime I tried, failed at ;)). I did my lectures thanks to the worg project (Bernst and John lecture were a real pleasure and sort of a non hittable dream to me) but I still not clear how I could take advantage of all I read (Bernst project concept is rather hard to understand for me, it lacks examples IMO). My main problem is that, at my work position (DBA), urgency is not given by what I plan to do but by whom is calling me -i.e if someone is calling me, it often means forget what you were doing and do this instead. Given my fabulous talent of procrastination, this does not really help get organized and thus this does not help in getting things done. How would you use org-mode in this situation ? Ex: a) I doing some non urgent (planned) DBA tasks (call this project A) b) someone calls me (interrupting Project A) c) I am doing what urgency of b) is needed d) when c) is finished, I get back to project A At my job, they often rules the retro planning concept which is bloat. So how would you manage such situation in org-mode ? Thank you, Xavier ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

When I am at Task A but interupted for Task B, I will mark Task A with one of the todo-keywords (you can create one specific for interruption for example PAUSE). Then you need to review what is on your plate by C-c a t to decide your next action after Task B. Already tried that but it failed for me.

[Orgmode] Re: Day workflow: need your opinion
Thanks a lot Bernt. This is how I am doing things right now which partially works for me. I need a way to tag a TODO as INTERRUPTED automatically when clocking-in a new item through remember. Eg: Working on task A which is marked as STARTED. Someone calls me asking for help. I C-M-r a new clocked item, automatically marking previous clocked-in item (task A) as INTERRUPTED. Even better would be to have something that could clock-out automatically when a task hits some tags: WAITING or INTERRUPTED. Do you know if it is possible ? Also, while at it: how do you access a daily report of what has been done and how long it took to do ? Thank you a lot everybody.

[Orgmode] TODO keywords into drawers ?
hi, I am relatively new (even if I used it years ago) to orgmode. I extensively use remember to jot down new tasks/notes/... it feets perfectly since it is almost instantaneous. Sometimes, when at work, someone enters my room to speak about a project. When finished, I fire remember and try to sum up our discussion. This is not really a task to do but when reviewing my notes, it can be switched to a task entry. With my current setup, I have to differenciate, when in remember, if it is a task, a note or something else. If I do not, I do not see these entries when reviewing my org files. This is the big hole in my system which makes me not trust my system :/ What I'd like to have in orgmode is a simpler and homogeneous way to do things. * TODO foo bar would be * foo bar :TYPE: TODO :END: a note would be * foo bar :TYPE: NOTE :END: etc. A default entry would have a special entry type -say UNKNOWN- thus making the review much more trustable. What I like in this idea is the homegenous view of any orgmode file and I guess this would make orgmode file parsing a lot easier. We could even go further by storing all orgmode entries meta-data into drawers (tags, timestamps, states, ...) WDYT ?

Mine says this: org-clock-into-drawer's value is t Documentation: Should clocking info be wrapped into a drawer? When t, clocking info will always be inserted into a :CLOCK: drawer. If necessary, the drawer will be created. When nil, the drawer will not be created, but used when present. When an integer and the number of clocking entries in an item reaches or exceeds this number, a drawer will be created. alas with my current version (6.21), it still spreads clock items everywhere.

Org-mode caused me to switch to emacs after programming for 30 years in other editors, and so like many emacs converts, I'm not wanting to exit the app :-). I am using Rmail. I have used all possible MUA for GNU Emacs on Earth but simplicity and ease of use is really important to me. - Gnus was and is still too heavy for my needs and it is full of useless gadgets for me (threads, groups, posting style, ...). - Wanderlust is nice too and really powerful (virtual folders was why I chose it). I am now using wl exclusively for NNTP (which I do not practice that much lately) - MH and its emacs fronted is nice if you have time to learn how the system is working (the learning curve is huge in my opinion). So sorry since it is the one that I preferred. - VM is more or less an enhanced rmail. After several tries at all of them, rmail has still my preference: - comes with official GNU Emacs distribution - really simple - no complex setup (thus not tempted to play with it) My mail system is like that: fetchmail - rmail. Full stop. When I read an email either I answer to it if needed or it is deleted. I no longer archive all and everything for years (for nothing). When I archive something it is outside my way.

Hi Carsten, - Support something like a CRYPT tag, leading to automatic encryption when the file is saved, to make sure encrypted entries are never saved in clear text. http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/mc-auto-encrypt.el is what I am currently using for a whole file. Currently I encrypt a full file and not sections of a file. - Use only a single password per file, so once one entry is decrypted, others will open without an additional password prompt. Maybe support multiple passwords since, as per Bastien request, we could easily have to share the same org file and thus, have different encrypted sections (one per user). I'd rather want this than a single password file or at least, as an option.

Re: [Orgmode] Feature request: Selective encryption
Hi John, [congratulations for your paper on your org usage, this is wonderful] Yes, this is just what I'm thinking too, though I'd like the option of binding different CRYPT tags to different keys or passwords. So, I could have WORK_CRYPT, HOME_CRYPT, etc., and each would have its own separate protection. This would allow multiple people to have their own private regions within the same org-mode file. I agree with that. allout.el goes a long way toward providing all of the above, I just wasn't fond of the mechanism (I tried porting it straight to org-mode one day, then stopped). For one thing, I want to use my GnuPG public key for encryption, not a symmetric cipher. That needs to be configurable. I do not see how you would use multiple keys/password per file with only your GNUpg key. Did I miss something here ?

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Feature request: Selective encryption
Hi, A few other options: - EPG also has the function epa-encrypt-region. It asks for a recipient's key to use for encrypting, and does symmetric encryption if none is selected. This could be used to selectively encrypt certain subtrees. Especially given that... - message-mode has functions like mml-secure-encrypt (there are lots of others in the mml-secure-* family). These functions use the strategy of inserting tags around the region to be encrypted. I haven't actually read the functions, but from the outside it looks like the tags are used to set the region, the region is encrypted/signed, and then the tags are removed from the outgoing copy of the message. FWIW, the tags look like (the leading # was added by me to keep the tag from actually doing anything in this message): ##secure method=pgpmime mode=sign As a personnal taste, I'd rather want using message-mode since it is already part of the official GNU Emacs distribution. For the rest, up to Carsten to see what to use. The values of the ENCRYPT_* properties could be the key to use, or just t. If the value is t, either the key will be pulled from a file-level variable, or the user will be prompted for which key to use (as epa-encrypt-region normally does). I love this idea. That's the easiest I could think of too. Instead of t, I think ENCRYPT_PROMPT would be a best (no need to be an elisp expert to understand it).

[Orgmode] Org mode as an helper tool for my job position (DBA)
Hi, I am a DBA (database administrator) with really tons of database (more than 200) to survey. As such, I have written many tools for various tasks. Currently these tools produce logs (tons of) in many different formats. That's not very homogeneous but that's something I want to remedy. My current (en)vision is quite simple: outlined document. That's where org-mode enters the dance :) Currently reading/parsing/getting the right information from each tools is rather time consuming. Having org-mode based log format would speed this by a factor of 1000 (at least). Let take the example of an update statistics. What informations are really relevant for me is simply this: 1. server name 2. start date/end date 3. return code 4. database name Then for each table/index of the given database, I need this: 1. object name 2. status 3. time spent Each object would have extra informations as a note under the entry. Producing the right org-mode file structure from any script/c code is rather simple, in fact, I have done this as a quick and dirty hack for one tool. Where I am failing is in having a column view of the document (I want to be able to only view time spent for each object name to measure the performance of the last update statistics run). What would I need to add for each of the table/index todo entry to have this information at hand ? As an example, updating index statistics will present an org file like this one: #title Update statistics of sql server * General information - start date - end date - return code * Index statistics (I want column view from here for each object name) ** Index name 1 informations for index name 1 go here (time spent, etc...) ** Index name 2 * Index name n ...

Where I am totally lost is with how I can tweak my publish option. Turns out I can add many options directly into org-mode files but that's not practical to clone/duplicate them in several places. This is where org-templates should enter the dance but either I use them bad or it just not the way to go. I am tryng as a simple example, to replace the default (included) style with my own (stored in css/style.css).

Elsewhere I have seen we can embed :style in the `org-publish-project-alist' (same result). Some people are using #+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA instead. So what is the way to go just for this basic stuff ?

When no desktop environment is detected (e.g. using Openbox), xdg-open will use its own configuration files, emacsclient.desktop is the call to the emacs server, if you do not use the server you could use emacs.desktop instead.

[O] [Q] Remove empty drawers ?
Hi, I tried to add a CATEGORY property recently in an org file and I was offered to repair badly formatted PROPERTY drawers. I accepted since I thought there was a unique element to fix but it fixed way much. In fact, the fix has consisted in adding one empty PROPERTY block per heading element (I don't know why though). Now I am looking for a way to delete all of them :/ How would you do that ? Thank you -- Xavier.
