[O] Org Clock Error

[Mike McLean]

Hello

In the last few days I started getting an error when moving tasks to the
DONE state.

I have ~(setq org-clock-out-when-done t)~ in my Emacs configuration.

I get the following back trace when I mark a task as done:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable org-state)

Another option: I have a function that recursively searches a parent
directory (using the "find-lisp" library) for files that are named *.org. I
then add that function to org-agenda-mode-hook so that every time I open
and agenda view, it recalculates the org-agenda-files variable. On a local
filesystem (laptop, SSD) i don't notice a thing, slow-down wise. YMMV if
your Org files are on a network share.

Re: [O] Fwd: Patch - Org Mac Outlook - Fix Call to Outlook in some cases

[Mike McLean]

Earlier in this thread, Rasmus suggested “Perhaps it should be a defcustom?”

With a new version (2016) of Microsoft Outlook for Mac that does not
install inside of a "Microsoft Office 2011" directory, this indeed should
be a defcustom.

This patch accomplishes that change. (It also changes the default to
/Applications/Microsoft Outlook.app which is the filesystem path of Outlook
2016.

Re: [O] problem with org-capture

[Mike McLean]

At the risk of piling on, I too am having problems with Org Capture
templates that haven't changed in a long time. The sample below used to
function like:

   1. I would call it from org-capture, select the “af” template
   2. I would get prompted for a date from file+datetree+prompt and I would
   select the date
   3. I would get prompted for the week number from the
   ~%^{prompt|%<%Y-W%V>}~ clause. This would default to the current week in
   ISO format (2015-W49). I would change it or not (usually not)
   4. The ISO week entered from that prompt would get substituted into the
   AR_DATE property in multiple places.

The two big differences with release_8.3.2-381-gb7ee96 are

   1. The substitution for %Y and %V does not happen before the prompt in
   step 3; I get a default value of [%<%Y-W%V>]
   2. Even if I manually type the ISO week string (2015-W09) it no longer
   gets substituted into the AR_DATE properties via %\1

I maintain some of my more complex capture templates in standalone files
and reference the file in org-capture-templates

(setq org-capture-templates (quote (
("a" "Templates for Agile Results")

("af" "Friday Afternoon Weekly Close /
Reflection"
 entry
 (file+datetree+prompt
"~/Documents/OrgMaster/org/Agile_Results.org")
 (file
"~/.init/emacs/org-capture-templates/friday.reflection.org_template")
 :jump-to-captured t :immediate-finish
t

The
file "~/.init/emacs/org-capture-templates/friday.reflection.org_template"
contains:

#+begin_example
  ,* Friday Reflection %^{prompt|%<%Y-W%V>}
  :PROPERTIES:
  :AR_DATE:  %\1
  :VISIBILITY: all
  :END:
  %u
  ,** Three Things Going Well

  ,** Three Things to Improve

  :AR_DATE:  %\1
  :VISIBILITY: all
  :END:
  %<[%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M]>
  - What got in my way? How might I do it differently? Review each of my
target Monday

Re: [O] problem with org-capture

[Mike McLean]

Great

Everything seems to(*) work again; thank you.

Mike

(*) I have another small issue that I think is ~helm~ related based on the
initial backtrace, I'll do full checks (tomorrow or weekend) with -Q and
report back if I think it is Org related. Gut feeling right no: not.

Re: [O] org-mac-link to Mail.app doesn't work as expected

It's supposed to work regardless, in fact it stores the Message ID which

Is there anything peculiar in your Mail setup?

 Export.  List are used everywhere.


I also use them for “simple” projects. I have a set of Task TODO keywords
for one-off tasks. I have a set of Project TODO keywords for projects.
Typically a project is a heading with a Project keyword and a number of
(level + 1) headings with Task keywords. For projects that span several
days/weeks this works well.

Some things that I do fall between Project and Task in the complexity. The
items needs 1-2 things done and discrete and different points in time
(temporal dependency, first A then B) or with different co workers
(collaboration) or both. The overall work, however, will only take 0-2
days. It's too big for a single task. It's too small for a Project. It's
related items that conceptually belong together. In Goldilocks fashion, a
check-box list is just the right size.

#+begin_example
** TODO Medium Sized “project” [1/3]
- [X] Get information from John
- [ ] Process information and send to Mary for review
- [ ] Finalize and submit final to Joe (based on Mary’s comments and
changes)

  I can think of a couple uses for this, actually.

 I'm fond of org-structure-template-alist, but it might not be powerful
 enough for what you want here.  On a per file basis you could bind some
 letter in org-structure-template-alist.  ATM it cannot guess how to insert
 a subtree.  But there's org-insert-subheading.


Something I do alot of is have Org Capture templates as files. This lets me
write a more complex capture template (in my case for one of several
“roles” that I take on ad-hoc but recurring basis during meetings).

I call the template with an entry like the following in
org-capture-templates.

(Mg Grammarian
 entry
 (file+headline ~/Documents/OrgMaster/org/Toastmasters.org Miscellaneous
and Non-Goal roles 2015)
 (file ~/.init/emacs/org-capture-templates/grammarian.org_template)
 :jump-to-captured t :immediate-finish t)

In this specific case, it places the entry under a special pre-defined Org
heading, but I could always call org-capture with a `C-0' (zero) prefix to
insert a template at point.

I can edit the template file as things change, and it can be pretty complex
(some of my represent Projects: A header, several sub headers as tasks,
etc.).

 I'd be happy to apply it. I have a question about it:

  The AppleScript commands may try to select the WinTel version of
 Microsoft

 I tried this AppleScript
 #+begin_src applescript
 tell application Mail.app
   activate
 end tell
 #+end_src

 and as I ran it it got normalized to
 #+begin_src applescript
 tell application Mail
   activate
 end tell
 #+end_src

 Does the .app suffix really make a difference?

Re: [O] Clock history as autocomplete?

[Mike McLean]

I get the general effect using Emacs Helm with some additional commands as
part of the helm definitions. My original idea was from Sacha Chua (
http://sachachua.com/blog/2015/03/getting-helm-org-refile-clock-create-tasks/
) but I didn't implement her stuff as written (in part I didn't
conceptually merge capture/create with goto/refile/clock as she did). I
went for simpler. I can call my mlm/helm-org-agenda-files-headings
with (kbd C-x c o), use Helm completion to find the right headline, and
then Goto, Refile current heading to, Clock In, Clock In and Goto, or
Insert Link

 Hi there,

 I use C-u C-c C-x C-i (selecting clocking task from the history) /all
 the time/.  However, I would very much prefer entering the clocking task
 with autocompletion, from a longer history, or even all headings that
 already have a clock (I have (setq org-clock-history-length 20) in my
 init.el, and sometimes it's not enough...).  Is that possible?

 Best,

 You could also use the `exec-path-from-shell' package, which will set a

 Hello All,

No problems here; including exports to PDF via LaTeX.



 I would like to know what version of Emacs people use (e.g. Aquamacs)
 and also if there are any issues using org-mode on a Mac. For example,
 I export to PDF frequently so would like to know if I need any other
 software for this.


I use native Gnu Emacs from Homebrew. I've alternated between release and

[O] Patch - Org Mac Outlook - Fix Call to Outlook in some cases

[Mike McLean]

If the user has:
- a virtual solution (Parallels, etc.)
- with Office for PC installed
- and configured to  expose WinTel applications to the Macintosh Finder

The AppleScript commands may try to select the WinTel version of Microsoft
Outlook. This—obviously—doesn’t work. By adding the Mac ~.app~ file
extension, we reduce this confusion and more reliably call the Macintosh
version of Outlook.

 I think that I don't know if you can suit everybody's need but that is
 worth a try.
 For myself, I already wrote a dedicated LaTeX class, because it was too
 cumbersome
 to configure org-mode for the different kind of documents I need to produce
 (not impossible, just too lengthy to duplicate parameters).


I did something similar, for similar reasons. I found it easier to make a
LaTeX Template look like what I wanted than to force Org into generating
LaTeX that was what I wanted.


 Hence, I have a class that can output exams, lab sessions texts, course
 notes and slides
 with only a couple of options.


I haven't done slides yet, because I've not picked up Beamer and my
approach was more branding. I have once class that brand-matches my primary
employer (Font, logo usage, etc.), another one that matches one of my large
volunteer efforts, and yet another generic “personal” one for “my”
documents.


 And I export only subtrees that are configured for
 this class. it took a bit of time, but it definitely worth it.


Agreed

 Hi all,

 I have a dream;-).

 Imagine someone wrote a dedicated Org-mode LaTeX class, and the LaTeX
 exporter got an option to export to this class.  The class modifies
 LaTeX so that it supports all Org's elements and objects, and things
 like tags, timestamps, checkboxes etc.  Moreover, the look of these
 elements is configurable on the LaTeX end, and further by means of Org
 options.  This way, we drop the generic LaTeX thing (which is nice for
 people sending articles to journals etc. – so my dream should not
 replace the current LaTeX exporter, only constitute a variant!), but
 instead we gain a beautiful, configurable pdf rendering of Org buffers.


Though I'll admit this does sound intriguing.

Subject: [PATCH] Add DEVONthink Pro to Org Mac Link

Add DEVONthink Pro Office (likely DEVONthink and DEVONthink Pro also,
but I do not have those variants to test) to Org Mac. Support for
collecting one (or several) DEVONthink items as Org link and support
for opening x-devonthink-item links from withing Org mode.

[O] Org Mode Customization Survey 2013

[Mike McLean]

All

As discussed a few days ago on this list, Carsten and the other developers are 
interested in what and how us users are customizing Org mode. This was first 
done in 2009, so a re-do of the survey is useful as is for how people are using 
Org now, as well as a comparison to the past.

Carsten provided the function that was used before to collect the raw data and 
I am working on the data collection and summarization this time around.

I have place the function on Github, 
https://github.com/SkydiveMike/org-customization-survey

The raw elisp is at: 
https://raw.github.com/SkydiveMike/org-customization-survey/master/org-customization-survey.el

All you need to do is:
1. Load and eval the function
2. Execute (interactive) org-customization-survey
3. Review the buffer, cleanse for sensitive information if any
4. Email the buffer to mike.mcl...@pobox.com (If your Emacs is configured for 
email, C-c C-c will send)

 pressing Abort. Then this file is also not picked up any more; not under

 This is causing serious trouble to me, since I use this system to keep
 track of deadlines that are really important.
 
 Does anybody have any ideas?
 
 Check you don't have a customize-variables section at the end of your .emacs
 file.
 
 If you once did `[' or `]' or some such to add one Org file, Org adds a line 
 in
 your .emacs file. And that one will override your settings!!
 
 Really hard to find, if we don't think at such…

I add the follow to my setup to avoid any possibility of this:

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
  '(lambda ()
 (org-defkey org-mode-map \C-c['undefined)
 (org-defkey org-mode-map \C-c]'undefined))

 Dear all,
 
 in 2009, we ran a customization survey, to figure out which variables are 
 actually used by active Org-mode users.  The results can be seen here:
 
   http://orgmode.org/worg/org-configs/org-customization-survey.html
 
 I was wondering if it would be useful to repeats this - the results might be 
 instructive.
 
 It should be much easier this time, because we now have a function that will 
 actually list all changed variables - so we would only have to ask people to 
 run a simple lisp command and send in the results.  Of course, then a 
 volunteer would have to collect and analyse the output.  Last time Manish and 
 myself did this, and I remember that it was interesting and fun.
 
 Any takers?

I'll bite; I don't have the Elisp skills (*) to contribute as meaningfully as I 
would like to Org and this sounds like a  good little side project.

 Running a virtual machine for the second setup is an interesting idea, but
 it is problematic, as I'm using MacOS X 10.6 and AFAIK it is not permitted

It is allowed according to the license as long as it is on Apple hardware. So 
running VMWare Fusion or Parallels on OS X, with another copy of OS X as the 
guest would be a possible solution.

Previously ~org-mac-outlook-message-open~ used the Mac OS X Spotlight

%() capture template.

Now on the other hand all org-mac-outlook-message-insert-selected
does is ~(insert (org-mac-outlook-message-get-links s))~. I
presume (though I haven't tested) that you could use the inner form
~(org-mac-outlook-message-get-links s)~ in a %() sexp in a
capture template.

 
 thanks!  it does work this way.
 
 i am not sure if it's directly related but there's a weird issue.  once
 i have a link to an email, i can open it by c-c c-o only once.  any
 following attempt just fails with a message: org-mac-link: error could
 not find outlook message msgid where msgid is the id of the
 message. when i ran the mdfind command that i found in the source in the
 terminal, it again worked once only.  any subsequent attempt opens a
 finder window.  very very odd behavior since i am not even modifying the
 email in anyway (other than just opening it) that might change its
 message id or something.

It has definitely worked for the same message multiple times for me (even after 
changing a message by moving it, etc.). Since the Org mac Outlook interface 
uses Spotlight indexing, and Spotlight uses the loose messages in the Microsoft 
User Data folder, maybe rebuilding one or both of the Outlook profile or the 
Spotlight index would fix your issues?

 Greetings,
 It's very nice to keep a journal in a datetree (using the capture mechanism)
 but for my uses it would actually be even more useful to keep it in a
 /weektree/. Something like this:

 ** W39 (September 23 - September 29)
 *** 2013-09-23 Monday
  note 1
  note 2
 *** 2013-09-24 Tuesday

 ** W1 (December 30 - January 5)
 *** 2013-09-31 Tuesday
  New year's eve party!
 
 (with names of months and days localised as usual)
 
 
 [snip]
 
 Not quite what you want, but I was looking for how to customize the
 datetree using a capture template a bit back and made some decent
 progress. You might want to check out those threads. All you should
 need to do is figure out how to convert a date range (wherever you are
 in the current week) to a week number

I just did this (the conversion) recently so it was on my mind. This provides 
the week number as a string, not a number, and does based on “now,” but it 
should give you what you want.

Week number in ISO of beginning of this week based on a Monday week start:
(format-time-string %V (nth 0 (org-clock-special-range 'thisweek nil nil 1)))

Week number in ISO of end of this week based on a Monday week start:
(format-time-string %V (nth 1 (org-clock-special-range 'thisweek nil nil 1)))


HTH




 and then supply the
 supplementary start/stop days for the week in parentheses.
 
 I think I did have issues capturing to a non-existing top level tree;
 as in I think I had to pre-populate my year-month headline, and *then*
 I could capture my individual days to it. Anyway, give these a
 reading:

[O] User Defined Functions in Agenda Views

[Mike McLean]

Hello

I looked at the doc string for ~org-agenda-custom-commands~ and noticed that 
the you can use a user-defined function as a valid command type. I did not find 
anything in the documentation that describes how that user-defined function 
should work, what it should do, or how to write one. I looked at the code for 
other agenda types, such as ~tags-todo~ and ~occur-tree~ and have guessed at 
how to form one of these.

I can write documentation and samples if anyone want it (either to add to Org 
documentation or as a page on Worg), but want to ensure that I understand 
completely and correctly, first.

With that said, can those with far more knowledegble about Org code comment on 
my thoughts below.

The user defined function for an agenda view:
The Org agenda dispatch function will call a user-defined function with one 
parameter representing the ``match'' component from the agenda definition. In 
other words, ~(udf-test Hello)~ in ~org-agenda-custom-commands~ will result 
in a function call of ~udf-test~ with an argument of Hello.
The ~org-agenda-custom-commands~ varible does not requred a parameter and 
therefore the dispatcher does not require one. Define an user-defined wiht an 
optional argument: ~(defun udf-test (optional org-match) documentation… 
code)~
The user defined function should prepared a buffer to write the agenda 
information to using ~org-agenda-prepare~
The user defined function should handle setting a unique buffer name for the 
cases where ~org-agenda-sticky~ has a value of ~t~
Honor the setting of ~org-agenda-overriding-header~ and insert that text into 
the agenda buffer
Insert into the buffer the desired contents, accounting for also setting text 
properties (translation: “Magic happens here”)
Call ~org-agenda-finalize~ and ~(setq buffer-read-only t)~

Does this cover the basics?

[O] [PATCH] Add Microsoft Outlook Support to org-mac-link

[Mike McLean]

* contrib/lisp/org-mac-link.el: Add “o”utlook to capture descriptors along with
functions to capture links from Microsoft Outlook for Mac.

The functions here replicate those that capture from Mail.app.

  Sorry for the long title, but that's the summary! I fired up a fresh

  headline in the results by putting the cursor on the line and pressing
  RET.
 
  The file text was all black.
 
  If I visited the file directly, I had the typical color-coded text for
  headlines/keywords. I decided to replicate with a minimal config, and
  I was able to. Here's the context of the min config:
 
  #+begin_min-config
  ;; set load paths
  ;; set load dirs and global config options
  (add-to-list 'load-path ~/.elisp/org.git/lisp/)
  (add-to-list 'load-path ~/.elisp/org.git/contrib/lisp)
  #+end_min-config
 
  This was on a work file, and I couldn't initially replicate with a
  test file... but it appears it has to do with my header options.
  Here's the test file:
 
  #+begin_src org
  #+setupfile: ~/org/aux/setupfile.org
  #+options: :t num:t author:t creator:nil tags:t toc:nil date:t
  #+latex_header: \usepackage{lscape}
  #+latex_header: \usepackage{amsmath}
 
  * Test headline
 
  Some paragraph just to give me a keyword to search for
 
  ** Sub headline
 
  Some more text in the next headline
  #+end_src
 
  My process:
  - emacs -Q
  - M-x load-file RET ~/path/to/min-config RET
  - C-x C-f /path/to/file.org RET
  - C-c [ to add to agenda list
  - C-x C-k RET to kill buffer
  - M-x org-agenda RET s RET text RET
  - Navigate to test.org matching line RET
  - File looks like attached pic
 
  I deleted everything but my #+setupfile line and it still does that.

 Last bit of input -- when this behavior is displayed, if I C-c C-c on
 my options block at the top of the file, it returns to fontified
 behavior and stays that way (even if meddling with headlines). It
 appears that navigating to a headline with various #+keyword lines is
 not letting Org recognize something. Refreshing the setup seems to
 handles this. This is on:

 Org-mode version 8.0.3 (release_8.0.3-139-g419b69 @
 /home/jwhendy/.elisp/org.git/lisp/)

 Happy to try anything else or provide more info. For now, I think I've
 made enough noise about this!


 Thanks,
 John

 Hi Nicolas,
 
 I just noticed that the new exporter does not export inactive timestamps

 I think this is a change from the old exporter (but I'm not sure it's
 really wrong).

Timing is everything. I just noticed the same thing today. I also don't know if 
it is “wrong” or not, but it is different than the old exporter.

In my case I used org-collector to generate the tables, so my workaround was an 
ugly hack around the property selector in my dynamic block line.

#+begin_example
#+begin: other org collector options :cols ( (replace-regexp-in-string  
.*\]  (replace-regexp-in-string ^\\[  (format %s ops-meeting-date))) …)
#+end_example

Where ~ops-meeting-date~ is a property on some of my headlines that in turn is 
an inactive timestamp.

  I understand from this that the variable org-babel-results-keyword has

 I wasn't clear. By naming the results, I mean that you must provide
 your source block a #+NAME: something attribute, so the generated
 table gets a #+RESULTS: something attribute.


Interesting that this topic comes up today just as I noticed it. I'm still
unclear about how to put the CAPTION keyword in when using a dynamic block
via org-collector.el.

I have the lines below and I do not get a table caption like I used to in
the old exporter.

that I have a base style and could change individual documents as needed by

It doesn't seem to be. I have put together a ECM. I have two CSS files,
representing a “base” style and an optional “override” style. I have two
versions of an org test file that differ only in the first 2 lines of the
file. One “works” (loads both style sheets and displays the text as
described in the document), one does not.

This is a minimal ECM. In my actual setup I have the equivalent of the base
CSS file in a file named ~org-options.txt~ that I include into every single
Org file I ever create via ~#+SETUPFILE~. I load my override CSS on a
per-document basis in the document header below the ~#+SETUPFILE:~
directive.
a, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {

margin-bottom: 0.5em;

 Hello,
 
 how is the online manual of Org mode [1] rendered?  Especially, how is
 the awesome table of contents on the right sight created?

It is done through CSS and I do something similar with most of my HTML exports. 
I have a custom CSS that I load by having the following in every Org file.

#+begin_example
#+HTML_STYLE: link rel=stylesheet type=text/css 
href=/Users/mlm/Documents/OrgMaster/org/css/org-html.css /
#+end_example

Into my custom CSS I copied the TOC CSS from the Org mode home page (see 
below). I may have altered it slightly from what is on Org for colors and such, 
but I don't recall.

Re: [O] GTD - Natural Planning Model properties - add automatically

 If I create a project (C-c c and press 'p' for Project) in the

 few properties like: Purpose, Outcome, Todo's and also date when the

 How can I configure my .emacs file to achieve this?

 I currently have:

 (setq org-capture-templates
'((t Todo entry (file+headline ~/org/gtd.org Tasks)
   ** TODO %?\n  %i Added:%U)
  (j Journal entry (file+datetree ~/org/journal.org)
   * %?\nEntered on %U\n  %i\n  %a)))

 Also: I would be interested to see how others implement natural
 planning model in org-mode (I am currently reading Charles Cave's
 write-up on this)


I do something similar; I used to use a nearly full David Allen Natural
Planning but now have simplified it and use the “As personal role, I want
goal so reason” Mad-Libs style.

I have the following as my Project capture:

(P Proposed Project
 entry (file ~/Documents/OrgMaster/org/refile.org)
 * PROPOSED %?\n%U\n** Project Definition\n%U\n- Summary\n  + As personal
role, I want goal so reason\n- Completion Criteria (Don't do too
much)\n  + \n
 :clock-in t :clock-resume t)

The key point is that you can put “\n” into the string for new lines, and
spaces after the “\n” for indentation.

 What do you think; and what word do you use as your TODO keyword?

I use:

I treat my Task sequence as a form of a non-visual Kanban. I self-impose 
workflow limits on the number of items that are allow to be DOING (currently in 
process) and TODO (committed to doing). I use BACKLOG for items that I have 
captured but not necessarily committed to yet. I try to always select work from 
my DOING list. If that has space available in the workflow limit I review my 
TODO list and “pull” into DOING. If the TODO list has space available, I review 
BACKLOG and pull forward into doing. I have agenda view for each of these 
“Kanban Lanes”.

I have a grand thought of someday writing an agenda view or mode that looks 
like a Kanban board -- I've seen some of what can be done with respect to views 
in Emacs from the ~calfw~ package, so it is just a matter of time.

Other's have mentioned ideas like waiting on someone else, needs to be 
verified, etc. I keep those as a separate ~org-todo-keywords~ sequences so that 
I can use ~S-left~ nearly exclusively as my keystroke to “pull” an item 
forward in the value stream. So for completeness, my task sequence also 
includes:

(sequence WAITING(W@) VERIFY(v@/!) | NOT_DONE(N@/!))
(sequence ERRANDS(E!) | DONE(d!))
(sequence RECURRENT(!) | DONE(!))

I only have to use a direct task selection (not S-left) when moving a task 
out of the main flow into WAITING or VERIFY or moving a task back from WAITING 
or VERIFY into the main sequence.

 Just a thought: isn't this already possible with Agenda Blocks?  
 
 You get the columns as rows, but you get the various categories
 displayed at once.

That is what I am doing now as my “non-visual” version. It actually works 
pretty well. My thought is to create something like one of the online Kanban 
boards for more visual impact.

I didn't elaborate before since the question was about TODO states, but I have 
4 Kanban-named views in my ~org-agenda-custom-commands~; one view each for 
BACKLOG, TODO, and DOING so that I can look at each stage individually and a 
fourth with all three of those blocks as you suggest to get them all at once.

With Org babel, and my org-mode configuration being a ~.org~ file, I also 
manage to achieve DRY. My three individual agenda blocks are defined once, and 
the complete view just references them with  noweb syntax.

Did I mention how awesome Org mode is ? I should have :)

[O] Question About New Exporter

[Mike McLean]

Hello

I use Org mode quite a bit to:
a) Export raw HTML that I use on my corporate Sharepoint site (currently via 
copy/paste) for Wiki entries, Blog posts, etc.
b) Export HTML to a browser that I copy/paste into corporate Outlook for Mac 
client for formatted email
c) PDF documents via LaTeX

On point (c), I have 3 custom LaTeX classes (each based off of and ultimately 
including the memoir class). These classes are similar in function and exist 
for format a corporate document via corporate branding, personal documents in a 
way that pleases me, and documents for my non-profit volunteer efforts in a 
style that match that branding.

For all 3 I use the LaTeX biblatex-chicago package, and to help the tex build 
process use latexmk.

I am on a Mac so I use xelatex instead of pdflatex to get system fonts, Open 
Type fonts, etc.

My Org mode LaTeX build is:

(setq texcmd latexmk -gg -f -shell-escape -xelatex -pdf %f)
(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process (list texcmd))

Given all of that; what do I need to be wary of before I switch to the e-html 
and e-latex exporters?

Are they far enough along that I should be able to just swap and have every 
thing “just work” or “mostly work” ?

Thanks

 One approach is to consider that thinking about a large project about
 to start is itself a task so you could look at adding a task for the
 Friday, when you first scheduled the large task for the Monday, to tell
 you start thinking...
 
 This might sound silly but it can actually be quite useful if you get
 into the habit of thinking about such aspects when you schedule tasks.

I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly. My default “project” org-capture 
template has a sub task for defining the project. You could setup your template 
in whatever way works for you. 

I used to use a version of the GTD Natural Planning model with bullets for 
Purpose, Principles, Vision, Outcome, etc. I have since simplified to a MadLibs 
user story format: 
http://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/blog/advantages-of-the-as-a-user-i-want-user-story-template

If I know the broad outlines of project at the time of capture, I fill it all 
in with the capture template. If I do not yet have the project fully thought 
out, I add a TODO keyword to the “Project Definition” subheading. Depending on 
the project I add scheduled and/or deadline dates to the project itself and/or 
the Project Definition TODO. The relevant snippet from my org-capture is:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-capture-templates (quote (
(P project entry (file ~/Documents/OrgMaster/org/refile.org) * 
%?   :Project_Backlog: \n  %U\n** Project Definition\n- Summary\n  + As 
personal role, I want goal so reason\n- Completion Criteria (Don't do too 
much)\n  + \n :clock-in t :clock-resume t)
)))
#+end_src

Since I have clocking as part of my capture template, I also record the time I 
spend writing the project requirements against the project -- when I refile the 
project that time moves with the refile to be charged against the broader 
desired outcome. I get quite a bit of quantified self information this way :)

Re: [O] Strange Custom Agenda Problem

[Mike McLean]

I have attached a minimal Org Mode setup that replicates this problem. The
files are minimal-org.el and test.org. The lisp file is the minimum
configuration for org-mode and the org-file is a simplified test file.

The minimal configuration assumes:

   - A working directory of ~/tmp/tags-test when it sets org-agenda-files
   - The Git Checkout of Org-Mode is located in
   ~/.emacs.d/el-get/org-mode/lisp

Additionally, the minimal configuration has the troublesome agenda command
both as one block in a Block Agenda and listed separately as its one agenda
command. (My “real” environment uses this only in a block agenda so I was
covering all bases).

In each of the two cases below I have started Emacs with:


/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q -l ./minimal-org.el test.org

 The trick is to use (let ((delete-active-region nil)) ...) so that 
 the active region is not deleted by such adjustments.

Interesting, I was going to play a bit today and try things like 
(save-excursion (deactivate-mark) … ) but didn't know if that was the right 
approach or not. The delete-active-region sure seems simpler :)

 I pushed a fix.

Thank you

I can confirm that the single-tree-export no longer corrupts the Org file and 
works with the EMF file.

Strange though that now in my full setup the generated export does not include 
the Clock Report table. (This works fine with the test file in ~emacs -q~ so 
this is my issue).

[O] Org Clock Table / Subtree Export subtle bug

[Mike McLean]

Hello

I have found a bug with clock tables and even have localized the exact
point in org-clock.el where it occurs. I don’t know enough of the Org Mode
code base to figure out the best solution and submit a patch.

The general symptom is that if:

   - You have org-update-all-dblocks added to org-export-first-hook with
   the goal of ensuring that dynamic blocks are current before every export;
   AND
   - You are exporting only a region of the file, for example using C-c C-e
   1 b (buffer/subtree export)

The Mark terminating the end of the region to be exported is carried into
the org-clocktable-write-default formatting function and the call of
(backward-delete-char
1) on line 2352 oforg-clock.el deletes a region (between the Mark of the
initial call and point, which is immediately before the #+END: construct of
the clock table). Deletion of the #+END: construct malforms the clock table
and ultimately the export fails leaving the Org file is a corrupt state.
 1 Detailed steps to reproduce
 1.1 Emacs Initialization

Launch Emacs clean:


/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q

Add the update to org-export-first-hook by evaluating the follwing line in
*scratch*


(add-hook 'org-export-first-hook 'org-update-all-dblocks)

Report versions (note this report is done from the non-Git-HEAD Org 7.8.09
included with Emacs, but the problem also exists in HEAD):


M-x emacs-version
GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of
2012-04-27 on bob.porkrind.org

M-x org-version
Org-mode version 7.8.09

1.2 Baseline and Error Tests
 1.2.1 Test File

Open the following test file

* Project A#+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 2 :scope subtree
Clock summary at [2012-04-27 Fri 14:30]
| Headline | Time   |  ||--++--||
*Total time* | *2:59* |  ||--++--||
Project A| 2:59   |  || Task A1  || 2:00 || Task
A2  || 0:59 |  #+END:** Task A1
   CLOCK: [2012-04-26 Fri 11:58]--[2012-04-26 Thu 13:58] =  2:00** Task A2
   CLOCK: [2012-04-27 Fri 09:00]--[2012-04-27 Fri 09:59] =  0:59*
Project B** Task B1

1.2.2 Baseline test

Export the entire buffer as a baseline test


C-c C-e b

The result is as expected:

   - A valid HTML export
   - The Clock Summary line changes to reflect the current time (showing
   that org-update-all-dblocks) ran correctly

1.2.3 Reproduce the Error

Put the cursor on the Project A line and attempt to export just the Project
A subtree


C-c C-e 1 b

The expected result is a (smaller than before) valid HTML export.

The actual result is:

   - org-map-dblocks: Dynamic block not terminated in the echo area
   - Lines between #+END: and Project B are deleted from the file resulting
   in the following invalid Org file


#+STARTUP: showeverything
* Project A
#+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 2 :scope subtree
Clock summary at [2012-04-27 Fri 14:15]

| Headline | Time   |  |
|--++--|
| *Total time* | *2:59* |  |
|--++--|
| Project A| 2:59   |  |
| Task A1  || 2:00 |
| Task A2  || 0:59 |

* Project B

1.3 Diagnosis

Tracing through org-clock.el I found the culprit on line 2352, if I add a
(debug) statement immediately before that line I see the following:

   - on a normal clock table update (C-c C-c on the #+BEGIN: line) the
   debugger enters and there is no region highlighted
   - when trying the subtree export the debuggers enters and there is a
   highlighted active region in test.org from the end of the table (Point)
   to the end of the entire Project Asubtree (Mark, from the selection made
   by the export subtree code)

 There is no contrib code in Emacs unless you yourself installed it
 there.  The advantage of copying to lisp is that you don't need to add
 contrib to the load-path and mostly don't need any further setup beyond
 (require 'org-install).


Sorry for the noise, I completely forgot that I added two directories (lisp
and contrib/lisp) to my load path. If I had thought a few more seconds

 Hi guys,
 
 How could I configure it so that the agenda always shows archived entries by

 without having to keep a specific log file per se (work log, food log, 
 whatever-log). I could always just use v A in the agenda filter, but I'd 
 rather just make it the default if it's easy to do.

I have something similar to what you are looking for. I have a custom agenda 
view that shows the clock check mode. The trick is the list of option settings 
when defining the custom agenda view. (Do a describe-variable on 
org-agenda-custom-commands).

Using this idea you could have several custom agenda views; a work-log that 
selects on your work tag, sets archives mode, log mode, etc. and a second that 
selects your food log tag and the same archives and log mode options, and so on 
and so on.

the team I am leading, I track meeting notes, tasks, etc. using normal
org-mode features. I have a top-level task summary header that has a few
sections that populate tables based on different criteria using
org-collector. I circulate meeting notes as a PDF export via LaTeX limited
to the task summary header and the most current meeting (using a no export

Re: [O] Bug: Tag Completion Not Prompting for all tags

[Mike McLean]

Yes, there is still the original bug (re-occurring after the reverts).
Matt's comment was accurate but related to the implementation of the fix
not th concept of the bug. If you switch two free-tag entry mode from fast
tag selection, the tags listed in the alist are not available for
completion.

The trick, it appears, is to fix this in a way that a) works with and
without Ido mode and b) doesn't also introduce the duplication that Matt
reported.

Re: [O] Bug: Tag Completion Not Prompting for all tags

[Mike McLean]

Interesting

The very first report I submitted (
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/53824 ) showed the historic
behavior correct (the two tags defined in org-tag-alist show up in the fast
tag completion window). The bug was after shifting to free tag selection
mode, the tags defined in org-tag-alist are not available for completion.

The behavior that Matt Lundin reported was/is a side effect of the fix
(implementation). I think that the idea of the fix is valid, e.g. the free
tag entry should autocomplete tags defined in org-tag-alist to match the
behavior of the fast tag completion window.

 I cannot do any better than to quote Matt Lundin on this:

 Historically, only tags explicitly defined in org-tag-alist or via an
 in-buffer heading show up in the fast tag completion window.

 So, let's stick to the current behavior.

Yes, this is the crux of the problem as first reported. Note that the fixes
were in two parts because the first patch worked without
org-completion-use-ido (part of a minimal test case) and the second attempt
was to fix it with org-completion-use-ido enabled.

=(org-narrow-to-subtree)= generates an error when the first line of the org 
file is not a header. Given that =:id global= is designed to use the entire 
file, the call to =(org-narrow-to-subtree)= is not even necessary. This patch 
skips it for global scope collector calls.

This is a TINYCHANGE

[O] Bug: Tag Completion Not Prompting for all tags

[Mike McLean]

Steps to Reproduce:

1 Start Emacs clean

/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q
1.1 Note: Emacs Version

emacs-version is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is 24.0.94.1
2 Load Org Mode and some sample tags

Evaluate the following in the scratch buffer

(require 'org-install)
(setq org-tag-alist (quote (
(tag_a . ?a)
(tag_b . ?b
3 Open the following org-mode file

* Header 1
** Header 1.1
* Header 2  
:Personal:
4 Point should be on the first asterisk for “Header 1”

5 Type C-c C-q to bring up Tag selection

The expected result is the fast tag selection; this works

6 Type TAB to enter free tag selection

The expected result is that the Minibuffer prompts with Tag:; this works

7 Type Per followed by TAB

The expected result is a completion of the file-tag Personal; this works

8 Type tag_ followed by TAB

The expected result is a completion list of tag_a and tag_b, this does not work 
and the Minibuffer prompts [No match]

Note that if I were to remove the single characters for tag_a and tag_b 
completion works for those two but not for the Personal tag from the file

Shouldn't free tag entry always show all possible tags, regardless of the 
setting of or use of fast tag completion?

 What shows M-x org-version RET?
 

In my daily environment (keeping org-mode current):

Org-mode version 7.8.06 (release_7.8.06.118.g50563)

In my Emacs -Q environment (the version of org-mode that comes with Emacs 24 
nightly from http://emacsforosx.com/

Org-mode version 7.8.03

The behavior I am seeing happens in both, in fact I noticed it first in my 
daily use environment and was testing with Emacs -Q to eliminate possible 
configuration problems on my part.
