[O] Typo in org guide
Hi all, the org guide "Release 8.2.7c" says in page 32, "12.1 Export options": The whole set of lines can be inserted into the buffer with C-c C-e t. It should say: The whole set of lines can be inserted into the buffer with C-c C-e #. Regards
Re: [O] Triggering clock in/out from org state change and progress logging
Hi list, after struggling a bit with edebug (too many things to learn) I have traced what the problem is. For the archives: State-change logging is deferred until the command finishes and is implemented by the function 'org-add-log-setup' adding the function 'org-add-log-note' to the hook 'post-command-hook'. The details of the note are stored in global variables 'org-log-note-xxx'. That implementation prevents recursive calls to 'org-todo' (that's what my code does in order the pause the active task) from logging both the paused and the started log messages. 'org-add-log-note' will be called only once since the hook won't accept duplicated entries. Anyway, the innermost call to 'org-add-log-setup' will overwrite the variables 'org-log-note-xxx' with the details of the note being paused. The outcome is that only the state change for the paused note is being logged. Now that I know what the problem is I only have to figure a workaround. Any clue? Regards
[O] Triggering clock in/out from org state change and progress logging
Hi list,
as part of learning org I'm trying to configure it so that state changes
trigger clocking in/out tasks.
Why testing workflow is:
#+TODO: TODO(t) STRT(s!) PAUS(p!) WAIT(w!) | DONE(d!) CANC(c!)
What I try to accomplish:
* entering STRT pauses the active task (if any) and clocks-in the
current task.
* entering PAUS or WAIT clocks-out the current task (if clocking the
current task).
* entering TODO probably should reset the current task but I don't care
at that point.
Changing state and clocking in/out works great but logging is weird:
* Tasks
** STRT first task
- State "STRT" from "TODO" [2014-08-26 dt 12:27]
:20:
CLOCK: [2014-08-26 dt 12:27]
:END:
** TODO second task
Now I change "second task" from TODO to STRT:
* Tasks
** PAUS first task
- State "PAUS" from "STRT" [2014-08-26 dt 12:28]
- State "STRT" from "TODO" [2014-08-26 dt 12:27]
:20:
CLOCK: [2014-08-26 dt 12:27]--[2014-08-26 dt 12:28] => 0:01
:END:
** STRT second task
:20:
CLOCK: [2014-08-26 dt 12:28]
:END:
"first taks" gets paused and "second task" is started and clocking but
no logging "State 'STRT' from 'TODO' ..." is added to "second task".
Starting a task only logs in the other task.
After 6 hours struggling with that (clocked with org :) ) I can't figure
why that's happening. Any clue?
Thanks in advance
Here's the code:

("WAIT" . stop)))

(defvar arv/org-todo-paused-state "PAUS")
(defun arv/org-todo--pause-other-task ()
(when (org-clock-is-active)
(save-excursion
(org-clock-goto)
(org-clock-out)
(let ((arv/org-todo-state-change-triggers-clocking-enabled nil))
; avoid recursion
(org-todo arv/org-todo-paused-state)
(defun arv/org-todo--state-change (from to)
(when (and arv/org-todo-state-change-triggers-clocking-enabled

[O] Capture template expansion
Hi all,
org newbie here, neither proficient with org nor english, please be patient.
I'm having a hard time figuring how to gather property values with
completion from a capture template.
8<-[ .emacs ]
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "gtd.org" "Tasks")
"* TODO %?
:PROPERTIES:
:TIPUS: %^{TIPUS}p
:END:
")))
8<---
8<-[ gtd.org ]---
#+PROPERTY: TIPUS_ALL foo bar
* Tasks
8<---
gtd.org defines the allowed values for TIPUS but M-x org-capture does
not provides completion when evaluating %^{TIPUS}p. After expanding the
template, C-c C-x p does provide completion.
That's intentional? a bug in my setup?
TIA
