How to evaluate source code while in the edit buffer?
Hello, Creating/editing UML diagrams using plantuml mode is an iterative process. My current workflow is 1. Enter edit buffer (C-c ') 2. Perform edits in the window 3. Exit edit mode (C-c ') 4. Evaluate code (C-c C-c) 5. Monitor changes to resulting png file I would prefer instead to skip step 3, and evaluate the code from within the edit mode. I tried evaluating org-babel-execute-src-block from the edit buffer, but that resulted in an error: helm-M-x-execute-command: Wrong type argument: consp, nil Is it possible to execute code from the edit buffer? Thank you, Mirko

Babel->Latex export: how to set includegraphics scale?
Hello, I use Babel to create UML diagrams using plantUML. The codeblocks produce png files. When exported to LaTeX, the png files are imported using \includegraphics. The width is set to 0.9\linewidth Instead specifying the width, I'd like to use the parameter \scale. Ideally, I would set \scale in the document header, possibly over-riding the setting when necessary. Is this possible, and if so, can you point me to the documentation? I could not find any. Thank you, Mirko
How to occasionally store link as file.org+headline
Hello, For most of my links, I want to use the ID generated by orgmode i.e., (setq org-id-link-to-org-use-id t) But occasionally, for targets that are not part of my agenda files, I want to store a link of the type file:path.org::*headline I wrote the following function to accomplish that: (defun org-store-file+headline () "Store link as file + headline" (interactive) (let ((org-id-link-to-org-use-id nil)) (org-store-link nil t))) This function works (lightly tested). But is there a built-in way, such as using prefixes or arguments to org-store-link? I browsed the code for it, but that function is several hundred lines long, and I gave up. Thank you, Mirko

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 mailing list.
I was not able to preview latex fragments using
org-toggle-latex-fragment (C-c C-x C-l)
I traced the problem to the (shell-command ...) in org-compile-file
during the dvipng step.
The problem was in the formatting of the destination file (the -o switch).
It consists
of the directory and filename. Both were enclosed in double quotes, so
that when concatenated the string looked like this:
\"path\"\"filename\".extension
By trial and error in the scratch buffer I was able to confirm that
removing the double \" fixed the problem.
A quick and dirty fix was to post-process the string to remove the
duplicate quoted double quote like so:
(shell-command (replace-regexp-in-string "\"\"" ""
(format-spec command spec)) log-buf)
An elisp wizard will undoubdetly be able to create a more robust solution.

I did a bit of digging:
Only files that reside in ~/org and that are loaded via the agenda are
then reassigned to the ~/.org-timestamps directory. If I manually load
the file, then it is not reassigned to that directory.
I used this code snippet to identify them:
(save-excursion
(let (matches)
(dolist (buffer (buffer-list))
(let ((file-name (buffer-file-name buffer)))
(when (and file-name
(string-match "org-timestamps" file-name))
(push file-name matches
(reverse matches)))

[O] bug in org-create-link?
The following is with release_8.2.5h-649-g2ae5cf. I get an error when creating a link to a file. The error originates in code (cond ((equal desc NONE) (setq desc nil)) ((string-match org-bracket-link-analytic-regexp desc) ...) ...) I think the error is due to a quirk in my setup, which I was not able to isolate yet. I do not get this error with all files, only some of them. I wonder whether there is some inconsistency in the code. In the lines immediately preceding the cond statement, desc is set to NIL: (setq link (or link cpltxt) desc (or desc cpltxt)) Should desc be set to NONE by default like so: (setq link (or link cpltxt) desc (or desc cpltxt NONE)) Then the cond statement would be able to handle it. I hope someone can answer that question quicker than for me to figure out the full logic of the code. Thanks, Mirko

[O] ox-latex: need win-cygwin path translation
Hi, This is on Windows 7 and Cygwin64 with TeXLive When exporting to latex and pdf, the compilation fails because the path passed to pdflatex is the Windows one. I installed and activated cygwin-mount and setup-cygwin packages, but that did not help. Before I dig in (I did find the pdf export code in ox-latex), I am wondering if there is something else I can do. If I activate some path translator, is there some hook I can attach it to so that the ox-latex exporter will see it? Thanks, Mirko

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the note. As it stands now, I cannot
customize these two variables to do what I want, as they accept the

in the org file for now.
Maybe they ought to be re-cast in manner similar to which

That's useful not just when writing in Org about Org, but anytime you wantto insert an extended sidenote in the middle of an entry. As with all source blocks, you edit it in its native (Org) mode and it exports correctly. You can copy links from the main Org and past them into the nested Org.Just wish I'd learned this sooner :) So, maybe mention this in the manual in the sections on drawers and plainlists.ilya Thank you for the pointer. I am sometimes also frustrated by that feature. But using BEGIN/END_SRC is really a hack. I wonder if instead of using SRC blocks, we could define (with some amount of coding) a more suitable kind of blocks. In my case I would like to have a BEGIN/END_TODO block. This would permit a layout such as * header 1 text, more text, much more text under header #+begin_todo ** TODO task ** TODO another task #+end_todo still more text under header 1 Maybe the TODO block is to specific.

Did you look at the *Messages* buffer? It is likely to give some clue on why the zip command is failing. Btw, if you have cvd-modeling-proposal.odt already open in an external application like LibreOffice, you may want to close the file first, before exporting.

Re: [O] odt-export fails
The problem was fixed by changing temporary-file-directory from c:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp to ~/temp/ I am running windows 7. The environment variables TEMP TMP both point to c:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp. I guess that zip/unzip were running in the ~/temp directory, while the files were stored in the ...\AppData\Local\Temp one. Thanks for your help.
