Re: [O] Does Org support Related or See Also Properties?

Hi Bastien, thanks for the prompt reply.

 When exported into an agenda, the consolidated org agenda would read:

 Friday   19 April 2013
   customer:  09:00-09:30 Scheduled:  TODO Meeting with Pete

 The problem is: what would RET do on this agenda line?  Go to which
 entry?  You can always put some hacks in `org-agenda-finalize-hook'
 but it's easier to try to keep your Org files clean ;)

I would assume that RET would jump to the source item (the one with the
See also property).  It's unfortunately difficult for me to keep my
source files clean: my schedule is composed of three different and
unrelated sources, which vary daily.  I export those sources to three
different org files and combine those with my personal schedule to
figure out what needs to be done every day.

Since the exported sources get overwritten, I have to copy each event
into my own (clean) org file and then unschedule the exported one, to
keep the agenda clean.  It's... silly, but it mostly works.

If anybody wants a spreadsheet-to-org-file exporter, just let me
know. :)

[O] Does Org support Related or See Also Properties?

2013-04-19 Thread Nick M . Daly
Does Org Mode have a way to identify that multiple events refer to the
same event?  It would be wonderful, for those of us with messy org files
(multiple overlapping incoming data sources), if Org Mode had a way to
to relate multiple events in a way that sums the details between events.

For example, assuming I had two org files, customer.org and calendar.org
(calendar.org being some form of exported ical-file):

  ~/customer.org:

* TODO Meeting with Pete
  :PROPERTIES:
  :See: [[file:calendar.org:*Meet%20Pete][Meet Pete]]
  :END:

  ~/calendar.org:

* Meet Pete
  SCHEDULED: 2013-04-19 Fri 09:30-10:00

When exported into an agenda, the consolidated org agenda would read:

Friday   19 April 2013
  customer:  09:00-09:30 Scheduled:  TODO Meeting with Pete

Are these wild dreams just dreams, or does Org Mode support such lovely
magic?

[O] Can't Sort with New, 8.0 Sort Methods

2013-04-19 Thread Nick M . Daly
When attempting to use the new sorting methods (like ~scheduled-up~), I
receive the following error messages when displaying the agenda (with
=M-x org-agenda-list= or ~C-a a a~):

: org-entries-lessp: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

To replicate this issue, try taking following steps with Emacs 23.4:

: $ emacs -Q (some-file.org)
: (add-to-list 'load-path /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-8.0/lisp)
: (add-to-list 'load-path /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-8.0/contrib/lisp 't)
: (require 'org)
: M-x revert-file
: M-x org-agenda-list
: M-x customize-group org-agenda-sorting
: (Change sorting strategy: time-up becomes scheduled-up)
: (Save settings)
: M-x org-agenda-list

When displaying the list, you'll get this output:

: org-entries-lessp: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

Can anyone else reproduce this issue?  What am I missing here?

Thanks for your time,
Nick
