Hi Jai,

Jai Jeffryes jaijeff...@hotmail.com writes:

 Thanks for looking at my message. So, here's what I came up with by following
 the instructions on the Feedback page you suggested.

Thanks!

 1. Emacs version: GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2009-07-29 on
 SOFT-MJASON
 2. Org version (it came with my Emacs install, I didn't do a separate
 installation of the mode):
 Org-mode version 6.21b
 3. (Even though I'm writing to this email list, I was curious to try the
 command M-x org-submit-bug-report. That command is not defined in my Emacs.)
 4. Here are the org-related commands in my init file. I found out how to set 
 up
 my agenda files there instead of relying on the command that I'm demonstrating
 now.

 ;; Org mode
 (require 'org)
 (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(\\.org$ . org-mode))
 (define-key global-map \C-cl 'org-store-link)
 (define-key global-map \C-ca 'org-agenda)
 (setq org-log-done t)
 (setq org-todo-keywords '(TODO WAITING DONE))
 (setq org-agenda-include-diary t)   
 (setq org-agenda-include-all-todo t)   
 (setq org-agenda-files (file-expand-wildcards J:/MyDocuments/GTD/org/*.org))

Try to comment out the line above and use the custom interface to set
your agenda files.  See if the error persists.

 4. Creating a backtrace. The command C-u M-x org-reload RET does not exist on
 my Emacs.
 5. I turned on the option to enter the debugger.
 6. I visited a new file called sample.org. I didn't put it in the directory
 specified for agenda files in my init file (listed above). I wanted to add it
 interactively for this demo.
 7. I saved that file.
 8. I selected from the menu: Org -- File List for Agenda -- Add/Move Current
 File to Front of List
 9. Here is the output from the *Backtrace* buffer.

 Debugger entered--Lisp error: (scan-error Unbalanced parentheses 17301 
 29246)
   scan-sexps(83 29245)
   forward-sexp(29245)
   custom-save-delete(custom-set-variables)
   custom-save-variables()
   custom-save-all()
   customize-save-variable(org-agenda-files (j:/MyDocuments/GTD/sample.org 
 j:
 /MyDocuments/GTD/org/GTDSteelWig.org j:/MyDocuments/GTD/org/
 SteelWigSomeday.org))
   org-store-new-agenda-file-list((j:/MyDocuments/GTD/sample.org j:/
 MyDocuments/GTD/org/GTDSteelWig.org j:/MyDocuments/GTD/org/
 SteelWigSomeday.org))
   org-agenda-file-to-front(nil)
   call-interactively(org-agenda-file-to-front nil nil)

 I don't know Lisp, but I can count parentheses (or use Emacs to tell me what
 they match up with by backspacing over a right one and filling it back in
 again.) I don't see unbalanced parentheses in that output. 

Maybe the unbalanced parentheses are in the custom-file, not in the
output.  Is your custom-file eval'ing correctly?

Dynamically adding or removing files from the org-agenda-files variable
stores this variable in the custom file, even if you are setting this
variable outside the custom file.  So, if you use C-c [ frequently, you
shouldn't set org-agenda-files outside of the custom-file.

Maybe the documentation should warn the user about this problem.  I
don't see any simple solution...

Hi Jai,

I cannot reproduce this error.  Please send a more detailed backtrace by
following the instructions here:

  http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html

Thanks,

 I get a scan error when I try to add my current ORG file to the list of agenda
 files.
  
 I'm using Emacs 23.1.1 on Windows, so it has the Org mode built in.
  
 I create a new .ORG file, add some text, and save it.
  
 Then I type C-c [
  
 and I get this error.
  
 Scan error: Unbalanced parentheses, 17495, 29440
  
 Any ideas?
  
 The same thing happens if I use the menu:
  
 Org -- File list for agenda -- Add/Move current file to front of list
  
 Or the full command: org-agenda-file-to-front
  
 I tried running the debugger, but that part of Emacs I've never learned. I
 haven't done my own Lisp programming. I'd provide some more info if someone
 wanted to prompt me on the next thing to try!
