Thanks! I'll look into that. :)

[O] Non-scheduled repeating tasks

[Albin Stjerna]

Hi,

I've been thinking about how to integrate tasks which are to some
extent tracked elsewhere into my org-mode workflow, such as for
example "read N chapter of book A" or "watch K video lectures at X".

I'd like a way to describe in org-mode that a task should be completed
a number of times, and then have org-mode let the task recur a number
of times, possibly with a cool-down period (but that's not really
necessary). The normal progress cookies % and / would preferrably be
used to indicate progress in the TODO headings themselves.

1. Has something like this been attempted by anyone else before?
2. Which org-mode hooks would be a good place to start integrating
something that would both potentially block TODO transitions and have
to read/write properties and/or special drawers in org-mode? At first,
I thought that the problem could be trivially solved with the
org-blocker-hook, but I realised that it said it shouldn't update the
org buffers, and my function needs to in order to update the state for
blocked tasks (e.g. increment the counter).

Thanks in advance!

[Orgmode] Using org-protocol to (org-)capture files for read/review?

[Albin Stjerna]

Hello, notmuch-org!

I'm using org-mode to structure most of my life, but I haven't been able
to incorporate my list of PDFs (or other documents) to read/review in
org-mode, so currently I'm just putting them in ~/read-review.

However, I thought I'd use org-protocol and emacsclient to add links to
these files to org-mode, but I'm unable to figure out how to do it. I'd
like to map the full path to a file, and then have that file appended to
a plain list in a given org file with the TODO tag set (something like
»* TODO [[file:/path/to/filename.pdf]]«) given a run of »emacsclient
org-protocol:/capture:/r/path/to/filename.pdf/«.

I can then implement pushing to my read/review stack with a simple shell
command that a) moves the new file to ~/read-review and b) adds a link
to the file on my org-mode read/review stack using the above mentioned
emacsclient command.
 
So far, I've tried adding the following to org-capture-templates:
 ("r" "read/review" entry (file "~/org/read-review.org")
  "* TODO read %c"
  :immediate-finish t)

Obviously »%c« wrong here -- but what should I replace it with?

Thanks in advance,
  Albin

PS. Sorry if I've insufficiently R:d TFM, but I really did try.
