Subject: [PATCH] org-timer.el: Allow org-timer-set-timer from non-Org buffers
* org-timer.el (org-timer--get-timer-title): If the current buffer is
not an Org buffer, use the buffer name as the timer title.
Currently all of the `org-timer-' operations work from any buffer
except `org-timer-set-timer' which must be run from an Org buffer.
This is because `org-timer-set-timer' sets a timer name based on an
Org heading or filename. By setting the timer title to the current
buffer name we can use `org-timer-set-timer' from any buffer and
preserve the timer naming convention of using the buffer name if there
isn't an Org header.
