Dynamic block match fails on checkbox columns
I'm trying to use a dynamic block with :match to filter columnview for a
checkbox column. However, the match is failing. Based on some variations
that do work (described below the example), it seems the closing square
bracket may be the problem.
Here's a minimal example:
* Things
:PROPERTIES:
:COLUMNS: %20ITEM %CHKBOX{X/}
:ID: Things
:CHKBOX_ALL: "[ ]" "[X]"
:END:
*** One Thing
:PROPERTIES:
:CHKBOX: [X]
:END:
*** Another Thing
:PROPERTIES:
:CHKBOX: [ ]
:END:
* Dynamic Block
#+BEGIN: columnview :id Things :match "CHKBOX=\"[X]\""
| ITEM | CHKBOX |
|--+|
#+END:
If I use curly braces for CHKBOX_ALL (i.e., "{ }" "{X}") instead of square
braces, it works fine (of course, I have to also use :match
"CHKBOX=\"{X}\""). But then the SUMMARY-TYPE in the COLUMNS definition
doesn't work. The match (but not the summary) also works if I remove just
the *closing *square bracket from the CHKBOX properties and the :match
string. FWIW, the match also fails for the case of searching for unchecked
items (i.e., :match "CHKBOX=\"[ ]\"").

Re: [O] Sub-tree EXPORT_ properties are not over-riding file-level options
On Thu, Nov 13, 2014 at 10:14 AM, Nicolas Goaziou m...@nicolasgoaziou.fr wrote: The EXPORT_ properties are only meaningful when you do a subtree export, i.e., Export scope is Subtree in export dispatcher. 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

Bringing religious wars into help discussions is rarely productive and better kept to the advocacy groups ;) People use org on pretty much all mainstream OSen. Dan Actually, I should have been more explicit -- I use emacs and org *exclusively* on Windows (via cygwin). In fact, for years now, I exclusively use Windows as far as operating systems go. However, not being an OS expert, but just a user, I am frequently frustrated by file access speeds. I have heard (just water-cooler talk) that as the registry gets bloated over time, NTFS file access slows, having something to do with frequent checks of the registry prior to file access. Originally, I didn't feel I understood the issue well enough to claim this as a legitimate reason in this forum. But, seeing your (over)reaction, perhaps I should have explained myself better. Did I bring a religious war into the discussion? No, I most certainly did not. I didn't mention any other OS's, nor make comparisons between OS's. Rather, I suggested a possible cause (slow NTFS file access) for the problem that others and myself are seeing with org on Windows. I followed that with a question about whether org is trying to open several files when calling remember, to see if that would lead to a proper diagnosis of the problem. How did you contribute to the conversation? I didn't bring up OS comparisons -- you did! Now I know org is used on all OSen. Thanks!

Re: [Orgmode] About Ditaa
As Chao Lu so eloquently wrote on 1/27/2010 1:55 PM: I'm trying to power my org with the ditaa block generator, so I downloaded the jar file, and put it in ~/.emacs.d/org/var/ditaa0_9.jar. Then I include (setq org-ditaa-jar-path ~/.emacs.d/org/var/ditaa0_9.jar) in my .emacs. However it seems not work well, I do get some results like blue-a-lot-of-random-digi.png in the exported html, but no picture. So I went to check the *Message*, finding Unable to access jarfile ~/.emacs.d/org/var/ditaa0_9.jar. Could not figure out why, does anybody have some idea? I had a similar problem a while back due to my running emacs under Cygwin while JRE is actually a native Windows app. Thus, the Windows JRE doesn't understand the jarfile path. I had to hack org-exp-blocks.el to use cygwin-path-to-windows in a few places. Of course, my issue could be completely unrelated, but without more information about your setup we're all flying blind.

[Orgmode] New slant on the Second tuesday of the month problem
The question of timestamps for events that occur based on the ordinal count of weeks in the month (e.g., every second Tuesday of the month) has come up several times before. The bottom line is that a diary sexp has to be used, and I understand that. This is fine for, say, U.S. election days (Tuesday after the first Monday of November) because they are never postponed. However, some repeating events like this (like work meetings) occasionally get postponed a day or two. Normally, I use multiple headings for repeating events that have this problem, which is easy thanks to org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift. With this, I can shift any given occurrence right from the agenda, and even add meeting notes to the headlines for specific meeting occurrences. How can I achieve this with an event that *requires* a diary sexp? In essence I would like a function org-create-subtree-clones-from-diary-sexp that would generate N headlines for the next N occurrences of the event in an sexp. Or, is there another way to achieve this? Thanks, Dan ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Bug: odd problem in org-archive-subtree [6.33trans (release_6.33f.88.g3224)]
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 Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list. Here's an odd problem when I call org-archive-subtree with a prefix argument. It seems that DONE subtrees are not found if I'm using odd level headlines. I've tried this minimal test case: begin: test case 1 #+STARTUP: hidestars odd * DONE Project 1 *** DONE Task 1.1 *** DONE Task 1.2 end: test case 1 If I put the cursor on the level-1 headline and do C-u C-c C-x C-s, I am not prompted if I want to archive the level-3 children. However, if I remove 'odd' from the STARTUP line and move the level 3 headlines to level 2, so I have this: begin: test case 1 #+STARTUP: hidestars * DONE Project 1 ** DONE Task 1.1 ** DONE Task 1.2 end: test case 1 then a repeat of the same command (C-u C-c C-x C-s) correctly asks if I want to archive the two level-2 headlines. I've removed my personal customizations and the problem does not go away.

[Orgmode] How much time do I spend in meetings?
I spend an unfortunately large portion of my time at work in meetings. I keep track of my meetings in a file 'meetings.org' where, for each meeting, I may also keep notes. For example, the structure looks like this: * 2009 *** 2009-06-08 Mon 16:00-17:30 Meeting 1 *** 2009-06-08 Mon 15:30-16:00 Meeting 2 *** 2009-06-08 Mon 15:00-15:30 Meeting 3 * If I have notes, they're under the heading - More information - about this meeting *** 2009-06-08 Mon 14:00-14:30 Meeting 4 *** 2009-06-08 Mon 11:00-12:30 Meeting 5 *** 2009-06-08 Mon 10:00-11:00 Meeting 6 *** 2009-06-05 Fri 15:30-17:30 Meeting 7 *** 2009-06-05 Fri 13:30-15:30 Meeting 8 *** 2009-06-05 Fri 11:00-13:30 Meeting 9 *** 2009-06-05 Fri 10:00-10:30 Meeting 10 For many meetings, I don't take notesor don't even take my laptop to the meeting. However, I'd still like to summarize/report the time I spend in meetings, but clocking in/out seems entirely redundant. After all, the time I spend in the meeting is already in the headline's time stamp. For now, I go through each meeting headline at the end of the day, clocking in/out, and adjusting the times to match the time stamp. It's a silly exercise in redundancy. Is there a better way to do this? For example, is there some way to use the meeting time stamps directly in clock summaries/reports (as if I had clocked in/out at those times)? I'm not looking for a new feature here, just curious if there's a better way. Thanks, Dan ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Should 'QUOTE' turn off in-buffer mark-up?
I just cut-and-pasted a table from the IETF RTP RFC into orgmode as follows: * QUOTE RTP Header Format 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |V=2|P|X| CC |M| PT | sequence number | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | timestamp | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | synchronization source (SSRC) identifier| +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ |contributing source (CSRC) identifiers | | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ The orgmode markup rules make this a bit of a mess. Actually, at least the content is undisturbed here, but I've seen worse -- for example, an otherwise well formatted table in which the columns have phone numbers with country codes starting with '+'. This leads to strikeout marks that actually strike through the cell contents! So, would it make sense to turn off in-buffer markup under headings marked with the QUOTE keyword? Of course, prefixing every line with ':' has the desired effect, so there is an existing work-around, but requiring the prefix seems to make 'QUOTE' not very powerful/useful. (I can't find 'QUOTE' in the documentation now, so maybe this feature has been deprecated? But, #+BEGIN/END_EXAMPLE has the same problem.)

Re: [Orgmode] help with checklist/shopping list
(Sorry for chiming in a week later.)
I think the best way to accomplish this, in that it combines the
strengths of other suggestions, is to use properties and column
view. Building the structure is pretty easy since you only have to
manually create the property drawer under the top-most heading. The
rest are inserted automatically when the check boxes are changed
while in column view mode (using S-left or S-right).
Here's an implementation of your example. Switching to column view
shows you the summary count (i.e., [n/m]) for to top level (here
[2/8]) AND each of the sub-levels (groceries [1/4], household [1/2],
office supplies [0/2]).

Escape the underscore with a backslash: prc\_tms. Similarly, ^ produces
a superscript whereas \^ produces a caret. And for something completely
different, \alpha produces alpha; which is rendered as the first letter

[Orgmode] Including row numbers in a table
I haven't used table formulas that much and I can't figure this one out. I'd like to include row numbers in the table itself. Something like this: | Row | Data Column 1 | Data Column 2 | |-++-| | 1 | some data | more data | | 2 | some more data | even more data | |-++-| | 3 | still more | yup, you guessed it | | 4 | and more | that's all | I'd like to use a formula for the first column so that if I move rows around using org commands, the row numbers can be easily re-calculated. Note that I'd like numbering to continue sequentially across horizontal lines. I've tried column formulas like @-1+1, but the horizontal lines get in the way. And if every row needs it's own formula, it's hardly better than just filling in the numbers. Can anyone suggest how to do this is a reasonably automated fashion?

Through indentation, the agenda visually groups everything so I can see what's next for each project. It looks something like this.

However, if you're using org-mode to produce publication quality tables, I'd argue that you're probably using the wrong tool.

I use org mode on a near-daily basis to collect information about my work and share it with my colleagues for analysis. The information is sometimes raw data that will never (and should never) be consumed for casual reading. In some of these cases, I find that vertical separators can increase readability and/or delineate different test conditions or data sets. I think rejecting vertical rules as a matter of style is a mistake. Whether you consider org-mode tables to be a markup or a spreadsheet, it's peers -- HTML, LaTeX, Gnumeric, Excel, etc. -- will all produce tables with vertical rules if asked to do so. I'm wary of tools that enforce style. I'd prefer to read the style guide and then decide for myself (that is, use it as a *guide* not an edict). However, if vertical rules are too clunky, difficult, time-consuming, or low priority to implement, that's an entirely different matter that I can fully understand.

Re: [Orgmode] logging transitional states
Just to add a related idea which may be relevant to a new extension:
Even for 'type' TODO keywords, they are asymmetric. There may be
any number of keywords that essentially mean 'to do', but only one
(DONE) that means 'done.'
I occasionally have TODO items that become moot or otherwise
uninteresting, but I want a record of the fact that they were
considered for action. For these, I don't want to remove the 'TODO'
keyword altogether. Rather, I could have keywords such as
WITHDRAWN, CANCELLED, SCRAPPED, etc. These items are no longer
things I need 'to do', nor are they truly 'done' (i.e., the task was
not completed), but I might want to keep them with a record (e.g., a
closing note) of why I scrapped the idea/plan.
So, combined with Dmitri's suggestion, I guess I'm suggesting that
TODO keywords should be assigned one of 3 mutually exclusive categories:
1. Nothing done yet
2. Transitional -- Action taken, but not yet done; in-progress
3. Nothing left to do (whether truly 'done' or not)
Anything in category 2 or 3 would be eligible for completion
logging. Anything in category 3 would not appear in agenda view
TODO lists, but could still be found via a TODO keyword search.
In an org file, they could be grouped like this:
#+TYP_TODO: {TODO NEXT MAYBE} {ORDERED PAYED RECEIVED} {DONE
WITHDRAWN SCRAPPED}

The correct agenda is only generated for the following file if the top-level tree is visible/open (which it won't be by default if the file is not being visited in a buffer before calling org-agenda) * Tasks ** DONE Task 1 :ARCHIVE: ** TODO Task 2 ** TODO Task 3 SCHEDULED: 2006-06-26 Mon (anything below the first ARCHIVE tag is absent from the agenda) (2) I'm not able to get the prefixed versions of org-archive-subtree and org-toggle-archive-tag working. For example: * Tasks ** DONE Task 1 ** DONE Task 2 With point on the top level, either function (with prefix) gives this error: Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil (3) Table of contents entries in HTML exports omit time stamps. I'd like to have a large file of meeting minutes: * [2006-01-01 Mon] * [2006-02-01 Tue] etc. with a table of contents for fast access to individual meetings. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

By that I mean, they'd be hidden just like the collapsing org-mode normally does, but they would never expand, unless a special show-archived-subtrees variable was non-nil. this is a very interesting and original idea! I really like it. It would mean that subitems that are done remain in place, but don't use space on the screen. I am not sure if I like the term archiving for this. Locking seems to be better. I'm glad you like this (and that it seems straightforward to implement). My only questions is this: If locking is an alternative (not replacement) to archiving, will locked items also be kept out of agendas and exports, like when archiving? My vote would be yes.

Re: [Emacs-orgmode] org-archive-done
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How about a function org-archive-done, that archives any tree in the buffer labelled DONE? One might refine this to archive trees absolutely done, so that---even when a heading is labelled DONE---it looks to its subtrees to check whether they have no label which states the opposite. Also, I think it only nice/useful for top-level headings, not below. I like the idea proposed by Niels, but I'd want to be able to call it for a tree too, not just the top-level of a whole file. In other words, I'd like to prune any chosen tree to archive DONE items under it. Perhaps an example is best... --- .org file before archiving --- * Tasks ** TODO Task 1 ** DONE Task 2 ** TODO Project A *** TODO Task A1 *** DONE Task A2 ** DONE Project B *** DONE Task B1 *** DONE Task B2 --- .org file after archive of top-level tree --- * Tasks ** TODO Task 1 ** TODO Project A *** TODO Task A1 *** DONE Task A2 --- _archive file after archive of top-level tree --- * Tasks ** DONE Task 2 ** DONE Project B *** DONE Task B1 *** DONE Task B2 Dan ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
Re: [Emacs-orgmode] Midnight and noon in agendas
Carsten Dominik wrote: Well, if this is the way things are normally interpreted, then this is clearly a bug. Thanks for explaining this to me. Strange system. Switching am to pm always makes the event happen later, except when the hour is 12. If 12am/00:00 is considered the start of the day, then the rule holds -- switching 12am to 12pm makes the event later that same day, at noon. Should 12am be listed as 0:00 or as 24:00? Should 12:21am be listed as 0:21 or as 24:21? It seems to me that the logic would be a bit better to schedule these show uo as 0:00 and 0:21. If you wanted to put something at midnight at the end of the day you would then have to use 24:00 and 24:21. I like this idea (allowing times at 24:00 and beyond). The user can place things where they want: at the start or end of the day. As a bonus, if you work the night shift, you'll be able to see your daily agenda all under one date at the start of your shift. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
[Emacs-orgmode] Agenda dispatcher customization
I would like to create a custom command for a specific keyword search, but restrict it to TODO entries only. It seems 'C-c a m' can be customized this way, but not 'C-c a M'. Is there some way to customize 'C-c a M'? Thanks, Dan ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
