[Orgmode] Org-remember interim file save before filing?

2008-07-30 Thread Alan E. Davis
I think I already know the answer to this question.  Unfortunately.

I have an org-remember template for my operating system notes.  I diligently
started up org-remember today, saved a list of important packages to update,
and rebooted.  But...  I forgot to file the note in it's assigned heading in
my SystemJournal.org file!

So, my question is, assuming I have auto saving configured, where would that
buffer be saved, if at  all?  And if it isn't, currently, is there a way to
arrange for this to be done?  Live and learn,

Alan

L is my home network drive at my office and F is the drive for

[Orgmode] Using effort property to automatically calculate end time...

2008-07-30 Thread Jose Robins
Since we already have an effort property, if I were  to schedule a task 
let's say to today using the C-s key, and I also put in  a time of 9:00 
am, is there a way for org to automatically add the effort property to 
the start time so as to calculate the end time?


Advantage with this is that if I change the effort, the end time also 
gets pushed out automatically


Thanks,
Jose

Unfortunately I think your data is gone in that case :(  I just tried
that (on purpose) and can't find the data anywhere.

 

 So, my question is, assuming I have auto saving configured, where would that

I take a slightly different approach with the latest set of changes by
Carsten.  My remember templates use the %!% escapes to file in the
target location immediately and jump there - so I'm working in the org
file and not a remember buffer which has no file store.

Here's a sample template for reference:

(setq (org-remember-templates (quote ((todo 116 * TODO %!%%?
  %u
  %a ~/git/org/todo.org Tasks)

This way I can use the Emacs session recovery to restore the data.

[Orgmode] Hyperlinked Tag table in org-publish HTML export

2008-07-30 Thread Rick Moynihan

Hi all,

Well I've been continuing my usage of org-mode, and have been using it 
for sometime as a lightweight bug tracker for documenting bugs and 
associated code-snippets/error-reports in small software projects.


Recently I wanted to make this document viewable for others, and so 
published it with org-export-as-html.  Anyway, I'm delighted with the 
output; particularly regarding the fontifying of code-snippets, but 
there is an improvement I'd like to make in my output:


I currently document bugs roughly like this:

* ProjectX bugs
** BUG project crashes on network failure :2.0:NETWORK:UI:
** BUGREPORT error thrown on data entry   :DB:
** FIXED compiler warnings:1.0:BUILD:

* ProjectX Improvements
** FEATUREREQUEST Add a new button to UI   :2.1:UI:
** FEATUREREQUEST Add email support:2.3:UI:EMAIL:EXP:
** FEATUREREQUEST Support X,Y,Z:3.0:DB:TRUNK:EXP:

You'll notice that I use tags to categorise features/bugs and to 
prioritise them into versions of the software.  I also use these tags to 
indicate which branch features/bugs might be best put into.  Sometimes 
these changes are required to be deployed into several branches so 
tagging like this is flexible and works well.


However the problem is that, in the exported HTML the tags are not 
listed in a useful way.  It would be great if org could generate a table 
of contents organised by tag.  To allow easier navigation Tags on 
outlines/headings would then be links back to the tag table, and links 
in the tag-table would link to the headings like they do already with 
the TOC.


Thinking about it, would org-info.js do this?

Thanks again!


R.

 I use the clock all the time and occasionally I restart Emacs during

 old start time is used when the clock stops.

 Ah, I see.  I just tried it.  Thanks for the tip.

 I personally don't do this enough to want it to be automatic.  In other
 work flows it may be wrong for it to be automatic.  For example: If you
 are in org FILE1 and quit with an open clock and then restart Emacs and
 open org FILE2 which also has an open clock it would be wrong to make
 that one active - since the last clocked time you used was in FILE1.

 I agree, there are thorny issues.  I think your way is better,
 especially considering that I'm not _constantly_ restarting Emacs, I
 just want to be able to _deal_ with restarting Emacs.

It might be nice if C-u C-c C-x C-i could find open clocks in the open
file and in the agenda files, and offer them to you as things to clock
into.  Perhaps only if it can't find any recently-clocked tasks in the
normal way, which it can't do right after starting emacs.  It's pretty
rare for me to restart emacs in the middle of the workday, but when I do
(usually because of upgrading emacs or a major package), the
agenda-log-view shuffle /works/ (better than manually searching), but
could be better.

If you sort the table by the total column descending to get the rank

If you sort the resulting table like this:

 1) Position cursor on any total value
 2) M-x org-table-sort-lines
 3) N (for reverse numeric sort)

Then you need to set the ranking data sequentially starting from 1 on
row 1.

So... the final table looks like this:

The blank lines do also pose a problem in different approach, one which will
make use of vector functions in calc. If you allow for no empty lines and
one extra line toward the end of table, this also can do the computation.

Cool :) I learn something new everyday!  And this doesn't require that
you sort the entries first to get it right - so I like Gabriel's
solution better.

This way you are free to sort the table anyway you like and the data is
still correct.

[Orgmode] Weekly Repeat Appointment scheduling for fixed date range

2008-07-30 Thread RC
Hi,
 I would like to schedule an appointment that repeats weekly (actually to repeat
Tuesday, Thursday, or Monday, Wednesday, Friday) with a fixed ending time and
over a fixed range of dates. The following just repeated the appointment for
every day in the date interval:
2008-08-26 Tue 10:00-11:00 +1w-2008-12-09 Tue 10:00-11:00 +1w

I wanted to check if one of you had a solution, before I tried writing an emacs
diary sexp function.

Thanks.
Recif

RE: [Orgmode] Summer challenge

2008-07-30 Thread Parker, Matthew
Does it have to be equal to 7 words? Or just  7?

Your life in text
Your life on text
This is your life on text
Org Mode: This is your life in text
Emacs Org Mode: your life in text

Just some brain dumping:

Organize outlines, lists and table in text.
Text outliner with tables, lists and more.
Plain text outliner: tables, lists and more.
Plain text outliner / organizer: tables, lists, more.
ASCII outliner / organizer: tables, lists and more.
Powerful ASCII outliner / organizer: tables, lists, more.

Seven words ain't enough to say it

 Hi,

 ever heard of the IG Nobel prize [1] of the Journal of Improbable Research?
 The annual awards meeting is always great to watch.

 One of the things they do is that each speaker has to give
 a 24/7 lecture on their subject. This means, they have to give
 a complete technical description of their work in 24 words (may be
 totaly crypic), and then a 7 word explanation that is more or
 less understandable for the public, and it may be either
 tongue in cheek or serious.  I find it a great exercise to
 try to make these, over whatever subject.

 Lets have a challenge for the best 24/7 lecture about org-mode
 over the summer.  I am particular interested in good 7 word
 summaries, because these are the most fun.

 Examples:

 A 24 summary
 
 Org-mode does outlining, note-taking, hyperlinks,
 spreadsheets, TODO lists, project planning, GTD,
 HTML and LaTeX authoring, all with plain text files
 in Emacs.

 3 examples for 7-word summary
 -
 1. Plain text notes and planning magic with Emacs.
 2. Back to the future for plain text.
 3. Chuck Norris would not use anything else.

 Enjoy

 - Carsten
