[O] Mobileorg doesn't correctly import one .org file
Hi, I recently bought an iPad and I wanted to try Mobileorg again. My org-mode installation was already configured as I tried it last year with my iPhone. So I lauched org-mobile-push on my computer and I synced Mobileorg. Everything looks fine except one file which is not correctly imported. It is just partially imported, the last part is missing, and the level of the last headlines is not correct. The .org file looks correct on my computer. What could be going on? I would prefer not to share the file, as it contains private information. Thanks, Pere
[O] Using Emacs Org-mode on a server with ssh on an iPad
As I mentioned in a previous message, I recently bought an iPad. I'm considering the possibility to not use Mobileorg and use Emacs on a server (Digital Ocean) with an ssh client and a bluetooth keyboard. Is anyone using Emacs and org-mode this way regularly? Which ssh client are you using? Which bluetooth keyboard? Thanks Pere

[O] Tasks with lots of logbook entries are very slow
I log most of my work with org-mode. Some of my tasks are repetitive, this is, I do them weekly or daily (i.e. empty mail inbox). After many years, the logs are very long. As a consequence, marking these tasks as done is *very* slow. Is there a workaround that does not involver deleting the logs? Example: PNDT Processar la bústia d'entrada SCHEDULED: <2014-03-25 dt ++1d> :LOGBOOK: CLOCK: [2014-03-25 dt 15:31] - State "DONE" from "PNDT" [2014-03-25 dt 15:20] CLOCK: [2014-03-24 dl 13:21]--[2014-03-24 dl 13:36] => 0:15 - State "DONE" from "PNDT" [2014-03-21 dv 16:18] CLOCK: [2014-03-21 dv 15:42]--[2014-03-21 dv 16:18] => 0:36 - State "DONE" from "PNDT" [2014-03-20 dj 16:25] (very long list with log entries since 2009). :END: I use org-mode 7.8.11 with Emacs 23.4.1.

[O] Use id property as anchor in the Table of Contents
Hi, I'm using Org-mode to publish my website. One of my site's pages has a lot of sections and the number of sections is increasing rapidly. My problem is that the HTML exporter, in the Table of Contents, is using the section numbers as anchors. As the section numbers change with time, I can't get stable links across versions of the document. As many of the sections (headings) have id properties, I'd like the HTML exporter to use them as anchor for the Table of Contents, when available. Is this possible? I didn't find an answer in the manual. As an example. This is the document I'm working on: http://pere.quintanasegui.com/diccionari-tecnologia.html#sec-2-78 As you can see, section 2.78, called RSS, has the anchor sec-2-78. If the anchor was its id "04E3903E-EAF1-499F-98CD-9E3E4BA0806A", the link would remain the same in the future. I don't mind if the URL is not human readable. Sec-2-78 isn't human readable too.

At the end, I did my experiment, but not in a scientific manner. I did no measurements. Nevertheless, qualitatively, I can now say that I reduced the number of org files from ~200 to 8 and the agenda builds much faster, specially on my netbook which was very slow and now it is just slow. On my Desktop computer, building the agenda was fast and now it is very fast. But, what is better, now MobileOrg works fine on my iPhone, before it was useless. Sorry for not being able to provide quantitative details. At the end, I did the merging of the files manually. Inspecting the files, one by one, was very useful, as it allowed me to delete some useless information and better organise the rest. Now I have to learn to better navigate within my much longer org files. Before, I used ido-mode to jump from buffer to buffer, now I guess I have to practise more sparse trees to jump from headline to headline. -- Dr. Pere Quintana Seguí Observatori de l'Ebre (Universitat Ramon Llull - CSIC) Horta Alta, 38. 43520 Roquetes (Tarragona), Spain.

So, maybe my initial assumption is wrong.

Finding regexp that match the headings isn't that complicated. I'll probably follow Juan's advice. Which is very clean. I know that hacking a script is easy, but it is even more efficient to use an already written script if it was already written by someone.

Since Emacs 23.2 you can use visual-line-mode and org-indent-mode.

[Orgmode] memory management in orgmode (supermemo)
Hello, I'm a *very* happy org-mode user since a year ago. In fact, it became a sort of dual brain for me. Thanks for producing such a great piece of software. Today I read a Wired article about SuperMemo: http://www.wired.com/medtech/health/magazine/16-05/ff_wozniak?currentPage=1 SuperMemo is a flashcard program that calculates the best time to show you a piece of information in order to optimise its retention. Apparently, the methodology is very useful to load lots of information into the brain. I think that memory is very important, because when the information is within the brain, it is much easier to make connections and see the whole picture. While reading the article, I thought that the supermemo algorithm should be implemented within org-mode. After all, all my information is in .org files. My *Org-Agenda* could show me, everyday, the items I should to check again in order to retain them in my brain. In fact, watching SuperMemo's screenshots, I saw that this program has many features that are similar to org-mode. For example, look at this: http://www.supermemo.com/help/images/thumb/9/9b/Contents_window.jpg/528px-Contents_window.jpg I'm not a programmer at all, therefore I cannot implement this myself. Do you know if somebody already started such a project? Are there any plans to do so?
