If it's the -c you don't like, you can always dump the commands in a script. That's nice because it gives you more breathing space to do things like error checking on the exit code of the wmctrl. What I dont like is having to use a shell call for some functionality that is almost certainly available under elisp. Why not? The operation you're talking about (find an emacs, and ensure it is visible and focused) is more related to the window manager and X11 environment, so to me it makes much more sense to use wmctrl than look for some elisp. Plus, wmctrl is easy and already works, so why look for an alternative? I certainly wouldn't class this solution as an ugly hack; the only slightly ugly thing is embedding sh -c somewhere, but as I already pointed out, that is easily surmountable. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Org Radio
Hello Bastien, I really like the region idea. However it could be very tricky to implement. The annotations in the radio file would be matched to regions in the target file. So presumably we save the region's coordinates in the radio file along with its annotation. We can use markers and overlay properties to keep these data consistent in the face of changes that happen in an Emacs buffer, but if a file can change outside Emacs (i.e. annotating a shared file in version control) then we have a problem, because (in the new model you are suggesting) there was never anything in the file itself to indicate which regions go with which annotations. That model is interesting because it means you can annotate files without changing them (i.e. notes on /etc). But I don't see how to keep the radio file from breaking. But maybe I am missing an obvious solution---can you give more details on the GPLv3 thing you are referring to? --dave From: Bastien [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Orgmode] Org Radio Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2007 19:49:34 +0100 Hi David, David O'Toole [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm writing an add-on for Org (again!) This one is called radio.el. It lets you annotate files (or even individual lines within files) with arbitrary org subtrees. Great! I played with it a bit, and I like the general idea. I thought about doing something similar a while ago, because the one thing I lack in Emacs is the ability to take notes against one particular file and to see from within the file if there are notes attached to it... Maybe one direction for further improvements: I don't really like the glyph :. I would prefer that taking notes is done against a region and that the whole region get overlayed when you activate radio-mode (or whatever mode it could be.) Remember the GPLv3 comment process and the way comments were overlined. Turning your mode on could overline regions that are annotated, and those overlined regions could link to the note in the attached Org file... Does this fit with your use of the tool ? -- Bastien ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: my GTD setup
Hi Ivan, Hi David, thanks for sharing your setup. Could you, please, fix mew so that it does not wrap your lisp? I find it unreadable. Certainly! I just got started with Mew so I am still configuring. Do you know there is a book called Getting Things Done ? I suggest you buy it ;) I have not finished it, but I don't think reading stuff on the 'net is a substitute to reading the original book. My two cents. I think my mom has a copy, I will try to borrow hers... ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] my GTD setup
David O'Toole - emacs-orgmode@gnu.org @ Fri, 21 Dec 2007 23:02:43 -0500 (EST): DO I decided to finally sit down and read up on GTD and implement a DO simple setup for Org. But instead of writing a big article about GTD DO and org-mode, I have decided to add notes and paste my config. DO Not very complicated, but I'm trying to keep my GTD setup simple so DO that I will actually stick with it and get used to the process. Ok, veri nice. But i can't find gtd function :( And i have one idea for you (i'm using this in my org-config.el ;) ): Have special folder for gtd org's files and using this files as group or top level (for me is normal have 8-9-10 levels in subtree). -- | |*| | Kirill A.
