I've been digging around and found it was actually some code in my .emacs file causing this not to work (although it used to previously). The code was to automatically push/pull orgmode updates.

[O] org-mobile-pull not syncing back changes
Hi, I seem to have a weird issue with org mobile sync. Changes from my laptop save fine into my sync files in Dropbox, and get pulled into the mobile app fine too. The problem occurs when making a change on mobile and syncing back. The file mobileorg.org gets written correctly on the phone's Dropbox and arrives on the laptop ok, and when I execute M-x org-mobile-pull, my designated index.org gets updated by Emacs after it reads in the mobileorg.org changes. So far so good, from what I can tell. The problem itself is that my org files then don't get updated with the changes in index.org. index.org never seems to get processed. I have cleared it out and started with a single change - simply an addition of a TODO in one file, from the mobile app, and it never gets written to that file. Here are the pertinent bits of my .emacs : (setq org-agenda-files (list "~/org/work.org" "~/org/personal.org" "~/org/capture.org" "~/org/review.org")) ;; mobileOrg (setq org-mobile-directory "~/Dropbox/orgsync") (setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull "~/org/index.org") I'm using Emacs 24.3.1 on Debian Wheezy (although the same problem occurs with this distro's default Emacs 23 too) and matburt's mobileorg on Android. Been putting off posting to the list in a vain effort to resolve this but I guess I'm missing something obvious... Thanks. -- Steve

Thanks for this. It appears I don't have an org info page installed, which will be my next challenge :) I must admit, I need to get more into the habit of consulting Emacs' own help system. Thanks for reminding me of it. -- Steve

Wow.. it would have taken a long while for me to find this!

It perfectly answers the question. Thank you.
Lots to discover on worg, evidently!

[O] Basic question re. spreadsheet function
Hi all, I'm testing out whether I can use a table in org as a project status tracker. In col 6, I have the value of the project (e.g. 162.50) and in col 9, the status (e.g. quoted, approved, invoiced, closed, etc.) I would like to see, at a glance, what the value of quoted work is, so I'm currently doing this in col 12 (pasted from formula editor): # Column Formulas $12 = if($9=quoted,$6,0) ( Col 9 in this instance contains "closed" and Col 6 contains 162.50. ) This formula results in the text closed = quoted ? 162.5 : 0 being displayed in col 12. However, in another row where the col 9 does have the text "quoted", I get pretty much the result I'm looking for, e.g. "400." will appear in col 12 where I have 400.00 in col 6. In the instance where the if test proves false, I would like a zero or nothing appearing. The intention is to sum this column in a footer row. I have consulted http://orgmode.org/manual/Formula-syntax-for-Calc.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calcbut it contains a dead link ( http://orgmode.org/calc/Logical-Operations.html#Logical-Operations) - making it harder to RTFM :-) Thanks, -- Steve
