[Orgmode] Remember string prompt won't accept spaces %^{Prompt text}
I have set up Remember with org-mode and found that the prompt
directive doesn't allow spaces in the input.
This is the directive (to capture Internet banking
receipts) .
'((Receipt ?r ** %^{BriefDesc} %U %^g\n%? ~/GTD/GTD/finances.org)
After I issue the command C-c r and choose r (for Receipt)
I see the new window for Remember filled in like this:
** [2008-01-01 Tue 21:02] %^g
%?
And in the minibuffer, a prompt:
BriefDesc:
As soon as I type a space I get a message [No Match].
Why can't I enter a space? I am running org-mode 5.17a
on GNU Emacs 22.1.1 on Windows XP.
Thanks
Charles

[Orgmode] Re: Org-mode development
Hi Carsten, everyone, Adam brought up the very good idea a few months back about setting up some kind of revision control, preferrably distributed, for all the right reasons. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/2505/focus=2888 I couldn't wait any longer so I went ahead and set up a mercurial repository starting with the current 5.17a. I would have liked to have imported older history but it was a lot of work so hopefully Carsten can just send them to me and put them in later. The repository is available at http://hg.bosabosa.org/orgmode/ This is unofficial. Carsten brought up the very good issue that any patches that get into the official branch need to have copyright assigned to the FSF. This is easy to handle: there will be a separate repository managed by either Carsten or, if he doesn't want to, by me for merging patches once they have FSF copyright assignment. Carsten's role of shaping and filtering features sounds exactly like Linus's role in Linux and so this development model should work well and scale better then what we've done in the past. Hopefully, ease-of-use won't be a problem with mercurial. I'll be putting my personal patches there for things like trac bugs integration, ical import, taskjuggler export, html export improvements, and css and javascript for the exported html pages. Hopefully others will fork mercurial repos as well, and send patches around.

[Orgmode] lognotestate for some keywords when set globally not per-buffer?
Happy New Year everyone! Hope you had fun celebrating and are ready for another 12 months of org-fuelled efficiency ;-) I just switched from per-buffer settings: #+SEQ_TODO: NEXT(n) STARTED() | DONE(d) #+SEQ_TODO: PROJECT(p) | PROJDONE(P) #+SEQ_TODO: WAITING(w@) CHASE(C@) | #+SEQ_TODO: SOMEDAY(s) MAYBE(m) | CANCELLED(c@) to a global setting in org-todo-keywords: ((sequence NEXT(n) STARTED() | DONE(d)) (sequence PROJECT(p) PROJDONE(P)) (sequence WAITING(w@) CHASE(C@) |) (sequence SOMEDAY(s) MAYBE(m) | CANCELLED(c@))) However it now seems to ignore the @ symbols and never prompts for a note on state change. Is that a bug, or am I configuring it wrong? ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Sorting problem
Happy New Year All, Sorting does not seem to work. It worked once when I tested it in the past. I don't remember the exact circumstances. Now it doesn't work with org-5.16b or org-5.17a, at least not with emacs21 which I use because of the remember.el port of FreeBSD. The error message is invariably the following: Wrong number of arguments: etc Do I need emacs22 ? BTW, when running the upgrade-org script, make produces error messages (about 80 lines). Apart from this org mode works fine. Harald -- FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p2 #0: Tue Feb 27 22:56:09 UTC 2007 ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

I was most definitely not in the 'billl' user account when I used the script. I have no idea how the 'games' group got into the mix. It's because tar tries to honour the uid/gid metadata when extracting, but it's done numerically: $ tar -ztv --numeric-owner -f ~/Desktop/org-5.17a.tar.gz | head drwxr-xr-x 501/200 2007-12-20 13:38:42 org-5.17a/ -rw-r--r-- 501/20 103661 2007-12-20 13:38:42 org-5.17a/ChangeLog -rw-r--r-- 501/20 617 2007-12-20 13:38:42 org-5.17a/dir -rw-r--r-- 501/20 6450 2007-12-20 13:38:42 org-5.17a/Makefile -rw-r--r-- 501/20 396954 2007-12-20 13:38:42 org-5.17a/org -rwxr-xr-x 501/2052980 2007-12-20 13:38:42 org-5.17a/org-export-latex.el -rw-r--r-- 501/2021775 2007-12-20 13:38:42 org-5.17a/org-install.el -rw-r--r-- 501/2038188 2007-12-20 13:38:42 org-5.17a/org-mouse.el -rw-r--r-- 501/2022162 2007-12-20 13:38:42 org-5.17a/org-publish.el -rw-r--r-- 501/20 1045275 2007-12-20 13:38:42 org-5.17a/org.el So the extracted files end up with uid 501 and gid 20. On your system this corresponds to 'billl' and 'games', which leads me to suspect that you might be using some kind of Red Hat or derivative, since on these distributions, uids for normal users start at 500, and 20 is the games group by default (on SUSE and Debian, they start at 1000, and on SUSE, games is 40, and on Debian it's 60). I have tried using the script to install from both 'bill' ([double] 'l') and 'root' with the same result. Hmm, really? Like I said, tar *tries* to honour uids/gids, but if it's not root, it cannot change the uid, and it can only change the gids to a group which the current user is a member of. So I would expect different uids depending on whether you extract as bill or root, and probably different gids too. I would just install from a tarball, but I am still uncertain exactly which directory I want to copy to, unzip and make from. The only 'org' file I have is /usr/share/emacs/22.1/lisp/textmodes/org.elc It doesn't really matter where you install the compiled org.elc to, as long as it's a directory which is earlier in the `load-path' you've configured emacs to use than /usr/share/emacs/22.1/lisp/textmodes. If you look at the Makefile you'll see the default location that a `make install' would place the org.elc at: # Where local software is found prefix=/usr/local # Where local lisp files go. lispdir = $(prefix)/share/emacs/site-lisp Look at the emacs manual (C-h r m Lisp Libraries RET) for more information if you aren't familiar with `load-path'.
