This is very useful for things like paying monthly bills. However, for some tasks, it would make more sense to jump from the date when it is marked done, not from when it is scheduled to be done. Here are my thoughts on the issue: I think of SCHEDULED as my personal plan to start doing something at a specified time. In this interpretation, having something scheduled for the past does not make sense, or more precisely, it should be functionally equivalent to scheduling it for now (except that it reminds you that you're behind schedule). Therefore, I'd vote for jumping from the current date, not from the time in the SCHEDULED timestamp. Your example of paying a bill is, in my view, a DEADLINE, an externally imposed requirement. Since whomever imposed the deadline on you does not care about your personal scheduling, the jumping in deadlines should be from the time indicated in the timestamp. Thanks, Piotr An example is changing my furnace filter. I am supposed to change it once a month, but if I am late for 10 days, the next date to change should be 30 days away, not 20 days away.

Re: [Orgmode] commas in URLs?
Just to to add one vote for including commas in the urls by default (at least in some cases); I often copy long links directly from the browser and have this problem quite often. So URLs should just exclude commas that are followed by a whitespace or a line break, not all commas - right? Yes, but this is harder to do with a regexp. I wish Emacs had look- ahead assertions like perl. What about saying that a url cannot end with a comma, but can contain commas? Something like [a-z,]*[a-z] (this is a big big simplication!).

[Orgmode] Safer kill-line for org-mode
Hi, Read this to avoid losing your work. Standard kill-line deletes all text from the point to the end of the _visible_ line. It happened to me a few times that I pressed C-k to delete a few final words of a headline, but instead the whole (invisible) subtree was deleted. This kind of mistake is costly because it may go unnoticed for weeks, when you start wondering what happened to a sizeable part of your org file and have to go through rather old backups. Below is what I believe to be a safer version of kill-line: it deletes text only to the end of the real line, unless used at the beginning of the line, in which case it behaves as the standard kill-line. I haven't tested much yet, but it seems to be working ok.

This requires some additional elisp code; I can repost it if somebody is interested.

[Orgmode] Electric insert of headline stars
Hi, Here's a small piece of elisp code that might be useful to some of you. Pressing '*' now inserts '*' as before, but if there are only spaces between the beginning of the current line and the point, then all of them are converted to stars. Useful for inserting new headlines. Longer explanaition: assume you have the following structure: * first level headline _* second level headline __* third level headline (_ denotes an invisible star) Since stars are invisible, I often find myself trying to create a new subheadline by just inserting a single star * first level headline _* second level headline __* third level headline * which of course doesn't normally work, hence this elisp code. (defun local-org-insert-stars () (interactive) (when (looking-back ^ * (point-at-bol)) (replace-string * nil (point-at-bol) (point))) (insert *)) (define-key org-mode-map * 'local-org-insert-stars) Haven't thoroughly tested it, but it seems to work ok.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: depending TODOs, scheduling following TODOs automatically
Hi, I am generally against introducing very specialized features to org-mode, for the same reasons as described by others in this thread. The power of org-mode lies in simplicify of the model it offers: information is a collection of lists that can be queried in various ways. This model is simple yet powerful. For example, org-mode can be used not only to store ordinary tasks (pay rent, every month), but also meta-tasks concerning the org-file itself (make sure there are no stuck projects, every week). I find this simple idea of storing meta-tasks very useful. It gives your org-file life, making it the single point of trust. As long as you remember to check your org-mode every day, you will never forget anything. Instead of following the books that tell you to develop a habit of ... just put this habit as an repetitive task in org-mode. Back to task dependencies. I use three tags: NEXT for enabled actions, TODO for actions that wait for the previous one on the list, and WAITING for actions that wait for something else. Whenever an action is completed, you can easily check whether the next TODO should be enabled (changed to NEXT) or not. WAITING actions (with dependencies across different lists) are more tricky, but in my experience, are quite rare. Here, if you know that completing task A will enable task Q in another part of the file, insert a meta-task TODO enable [[Q]] just after A. No special functionality needed, just standard linking. Of course there are some cases in which this scheme doesn't work, but these are not many, and I don't believe making them work automatically is worth the effort. This is because, in my case, most of the WAITING actions rely on external triggers (email, phone call), which are simply not automatable.

Re: [Orgmode] Org-Mode to handle appointments ?
Hi Bastien, Personally, I use org-mode for personal planning (todos, deadlines, etc), but for appointments I use calendar programs (Google Calendar in my case). If your calendar program understands the iCalendar format, then you can convert it to the diary format, which can then be incorporated into org-agenda view. I think I have posted scripts to do this automatically to this mailing list some time ago; if not, I can post them again. You can also store your appointments in your org file as you suggested, although I haven't tried this approach. I think it all boils down to how do you identify your appointments. If you think of all/most of your appointments as tightly bound to particular projects, then storing them in an org-file under a particular project might be a good idea. If your appointments are usually not bound to particular projects, or you need advanced calendar scheduling functions (eg. appt every second tuesday), then diary or a calendar program is a better idea I think. It allows you to think of appointments in terms of time rather than projects they belong to.

I like the functionality, but I do find it too specialized to make this behavior the default. So I would weaken it, or enclose turning it on into a customization variable. Yes, I completely agree with you, this was a hack that worked for me rather than something everybody could use. But I thought sharing it with others might be a good idea, even if only for useful feedback like yours. The only thing which I have a different opinion about is what to do when you drop a URL in the middle of the line. I believe this function should be assigned to normal paste (middle button). My goal was to make drag-and-drop useful for managing org-mode lists _without_ using a keyboard. For me this means: (i) an easy (keyboard-less) way of insterting a new list element before or after the current element, and (ii) inserting the URL into the current line, without the need of manual adjustment (adding spaces around, adding the colon, etc.). So while I agree that the behaviour must be customizable, I'd like a solution that satisfies these two criteria. Anyway, I'll do some modifications, and send the next version. The reasons why I find it too intrusive the way it is now are: - You enforce a colon for adding to the end of the line - you enforce a particular type of bullet. - when inserting in a empty line, the color switches to fixed-width quotation - people might want to use drag-and-drop to insert something into the text that happens to be a bullet item. Proposals: - Don't enforce the colon when inserting at the end of the line. - In the middle of a line, just insert there. - If the current line is a bullet or a headline, *and* if you drop *on* either the bullet or the headline stars, then make a new headline/bullet for the dragged text. Always make the bullet after the current line. (well, when inserting in front of a bullet, you could insert before the current...) - Respect the type of bullet: numbered, -, +, *.

Re: [Orgmode] Another GTD question.
Hi, In relation to Carsten's email, I'd like to ask about possible integration of headings and plain lists. I remember that such integration was difficult because of the implementation of outline-mode, but I don't know the details. In case this is possible, here are a few reasons why I'd like it: 1. As opposed to headings, plain list items can consists of more than one line. On the other hand, they cannot be assigned tags or marked TODO. So, sometimes, one has to use one or the other. This is especially problematic, if you would like a TODO item below a multi-line plain list item. It would be great if the features of headings and plain lists could be, at least to some extent, combined. 2. Code duplication. At the moment, AFAIK, you need to write separate code for headings and plain lists. Also, some features exist for both but in different forms, for example, TODO/DONE for headings is essentially the same as [ ]/[X] for plain lists. I don't mind having different representation for the same concept as long as their share the same handling code. However, I feel that any attempt at integrating integrating headings and plain lists would require a significant rewrite. Carsten, could you please comment on the main difficulties of such integration? Thanks, Piotr ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
Re: [Orgmode] Another GTD question.
Hi,
Org-mode is a major part of my GTD scheme, however, there are some
tasks for which I think it's not ideal. One example are lists of
lightweight items; items that are not critical and nothing seriously
bad would happen if they are forgotten. Interesting webpages to read
or papers to read/print are good examples.
FORGETTABLE LISTS
The following requirements describe the problem:
1. Adding new items must be as easy as possible, preferably just a
single click of the browser button Mark this page for future
reading. This is the most important requirement, which is not
currently met by org-mode.
2. The list works like a stack: adding is possible only on the top.
This keeps the items on the list in the approximate order of
decreasing relevance to my current interests.
3. Only the say 10 most recent items are of any relevance. If any
earlier items haven't been acted upon, they are not relevant
enough: I have at least 10 more interesting things to do. I don't
want to see such items; if they become relevant in the future I can
always add them again.
MY LISTS
1. To Read for webpages/papers I want to read
2. To Print for pdfs to print when I'm in the office
3. To Use interesting internet services to try
4. To Buy for gadgets I might be interested in buying
5. To Supermemo for concepts to memorize with supermemo [1]
6. Books to Read
7. Movies to Watch
IMPLEMENTATION
Currently, I use del.icio.us to maintain them. I have a menu in the
Toolbar menu that contains bookmarklets like Add To Read with the
following URL (one line)
javascript: function loadScript(scriptURL) { var scriptElem =
document.createElement('iframe'); scriptElem.setAttribute('src',
scriptURL); document.body.appendChild(scriptElem);}
loadScript('https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/add?tags=to-readurl='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'description='+encodeURIComponent(document.title))
and also Live Bookmarks that point to the RSS of the relevant lists,
and display the first 10 or so items on each list.
METALISTS
Here are some places I use for maintaining lists: org-mode files,
browser bookmarks, amazon basket, amazon wishlist, amazon recommended
books, watchthatpage, google alerts, delicious, movielens, citeulike.
Each of them is different, has its strengths and weaknesses, and it
would be very difficult to integrate them into a single system. My
solution at the moment, is just to have a metalist: a list in my
org file containing URLs of all my lists.

Re: [Emacs-orgmode] Emacs-Calendar export to iCal/vcal
Hi Phil,
Not directly relevant, but here's what I use to synchronize the
calendar information in the other direction: from iCalendar calendars
to emacs org-mode. The whole setup is rather hacky and complicated (I
didn't really have time to make it more presentable) but it might be
still useful to some.
I have all my org-files in ~/myfiles/org/. File calendars.txt,
contains URLs of remote calendars I'd like to include in my
org-agenda. The first word in each line is the name of the local file
to which the remote calendar will periodically be downloaded:
-- calendars.txt STARTS --
camtalks http://talks.cam.ac.uk/show/ics/5245
msresearchtalks http://www.srcf.ucam.org/users/pz215/msr.ics
-- calendars.txt ENDS --
Once a day I execute the following script (from cron):
-- update-calendars STARTS --
#!/bin/bash
orgdir=~/myfiles/org
diary=$orgdir/calendars.diary
emacs=$orgdir/local-calendars.el
$diary
echo (setq local-calendars '( $emacs
cat $orgdir/calendars.txt | \
{
while read name url ; do
wget -N -O $orgdir/$name.ics $url
echo #include \$orgdir/$name.diary\ $diary
echo \$name\ $emacs
done
}
echo )) $emacs
-- update-calendars ENDS --
It downloads all the remote calendars described in calendars.txt and
creates two new files. First, calendars.diary, which is an emacs
diary meta-file that just includes the proper calendar files.
-- calendars.diary STARTS --
#include /home/pz215/myfiles/org/camtalks.diary
#include /home/pz215/myfiles/org/msresearchtalks.diary
-- calendars.diary ENDS --
The second file created by update-calendars is local-calendars.el,
an elisp file that contains a list of calendars:
-- local-calendars.el STARTS --
(setq local-calendars '(
camtalks
msresearchtalks
))
-- local-calendars.el ENDS --
What remains is to convert the downloaded icalendar files into the
diary files included by calendars.diary. To this end, I have the
following lines in my .emacs:
-- .emacs SNIPPET STARTS --
(require 'calendar)
(european-calendar)
(load ~/myfiles/org/local-calendars.el)
(dolist (name local-calendars)
(let ((ical (concat /home/pz215/myfiles/org/ name .ics))
(diary (concat /home/pz215/myfiles/org/ name .diary)))
(when (file-newer-than-file-p ical diary)
(with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect diary)
(kill-region (point-min) (point-max))
(icalendar-import-file ical diary)
-- .emacs SNIPPET ENDS --
That's it. If you want emacs to notify you about your appointments,
take a look at the function appt-activate in the appt library. If
you use a desktop environment that uses the standard notification
deamon (e.g., GNOME), you can set up the appt library to use it. Take
a look at the send-notify command from the libnotify-bin package
(Debian/Ubuntu).
Thanks,
Piotr

Hi,
I'm using emacs +org-mode mainly for organizing todos and for
brainstorming in project planing and organizing tasks etc. So it's
mainly a (very powerfull) outliner.
I playes arround with the DUE DEADLINE features and realized that
there is one thing missing for me:
synchronizing emacs-todos / appointments to iCal (Mac OS X 10.4)
To make it easier: I really would like to have it one way: Adding data
from emacs to an iCal-file.
I'm using my mobile phone to synchronize with my calendar (iCal) and
it would be nice to have EMacs copying data to iCal and then have this
data on my mobile phone after the next sync.
What do you think? Are you using the emacs-calendar-functions and how
to you synchronize to other applications?
Any suggestions would be great.
Best regards from Berlin / Germany
Phil

[Emacs-orgmode] todo and deadline highlighting
Hi, Here are three functions related to todo and deadline highlighting is the todo buffer. The first lets you highlight upoming deadlines and todo items at the same time. (defun org-check-deadlines-and-todos (ndays) (org-check-deadlines ndays) (flet ((org-remove-occur-highlights (optional beg end noremove)) (org-overview ())) (org-show-todo-tree nil))) It would be nice to be able to tell the org-occur function not to remove existing highlights in a less hacky way. Another suggestion: explicit specification of the face used for highlighting so that deadlines and todos could use a different face. Yet another suggestion: the org-occur callback could return the face to use, so that different faces could be used for deadline highlighting, depending on the urgency of the deadline (ie. in 3 days vs. in 30 days). The following two functions redefine org-show-todo-tree, so that TODO items SCHEDULED for the future are not highlighted. Only non-scheduled TODO items or TODO items scheduled for the past or present are highlighted. The SCHEDULED directive must be on the same line as the TODO keyword. (defun org-todo-is-current () Checks whether a TODO items is current.
