[Orgmode] Re: Advice sought on managing decision alternatives.
Hi Tom, I have now added org-choose.el, it is part of the current git status. A few comments: On Feb 7, 2009, at 9:46 PM, Tom Breton (Tehom) wrote: Hi, Carsten. Here is the new patch to org.el and the new org-choose.el A couple of notes: * As we talked about, decisions and chosenness are now called choose everywhere. Great. * I was able to add the library-aware customization we talked about. This is nice, I earned something new! :convert-widget. * I also added new variable `org-todo-normal-interpretations' - see explanation below. See my comments below * New test file. Essentially the same, with name replacement. I have not run the tests myself yet. * Didn't append the example files; they are all unchanged from before. *** About `org-todo-normal-interpretations' You said your idea was to make a generally useful system. I noticed that one thing was still hard-coded. It's the part of org-todo that finds the next entry: (memq interpret '(sequence choose)) ... (memq interpret '(type priority)) Yes, this is correct. I appreciate you noticing this additional point where changes have to be made. However, for now I have opted for a different solution: I made the sequence interpretation the last test in the cond chain, so that all interpretations that are not `type' will fall back to this mechanism. I envision that we can add another hook if someone wants an additional way of handling this. I would like to minimize the number of variables where an add-on has to insert itself. I have commented the corresponding line which tries to add to the non-existing variable org-todo-normal-interpretations' in org-choose.el I hope you agree with this solution, if not let me know. I think what is missing now is documentation. It seems to me that there should be some minimal documentation in org-choose.el, and it would be great to get a tutorial on Worg which describes this in more detail.

Then everyone can chose to use these image commands or not... If there is someone on the list who could create such a package... That would be great! Or I could try and write it myself. But I must admit that my knowledge of writing elisp code is pretty limited... One way to do this would be a mechanism equal to Include files. So: #+INCLUDE: ~/.emacs src emacs-lisp (from the org manual) Would turn into: #+INCLUDEPIC: ~/foo.jpg jpg The extra parameter would be needed to determine the file-type of the image. And possibly there could be more extra parameters for things like: image alinement, and including a caption. And during html export the above would then turn into: pimg src=data:image/jpg;base64, base 64 encoded text of ~/foo.jpg /p To me this seems a nice way to implement this command. But I really would not know how to start writing this up into an add-on package... Ciao, Renzo ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Furthermore, both org-mode and org-agenda-mode have menus which contain a pretty complete list of commands. So does the printable refcard. - there should be a command to remotely visibility-cycle the currently highlighted node in the original org buffer Would you like to suggest a key for such a command? Note also the variables org-show-hierarchy-above and its siblings which can be configured so that more context becomes visible when a command is shown from the agenda. - days on which there are no agenda entries after secondary filtering should be removed from the timeline list THis is hard, and just icing on the cake. Not necessary in my view. - would be good to be able to do a secondary filter on the contents of the entries (like with keyword search), rather than just on the tags. There is a search view which searches headline and content for text and regexps. You can then drill down with tags. In general, the number of commands to remember seems very large. That sounds life experience and wisdom. In what context do you mean that? It would be good if there was, in addition, a simple general way to select a subset of the entries, specifying: - whether to search just this file or all agenda files - what regexp the entry header and/or the entry text must match, or not match - what tags the entry must have or not have - what date range the entry must be labelled with then specifying how to sort the results: by date, (then) by tag; ascending/descending; etc. `C-c a m' is at least half-way what you want. It would also be good if some of these conditions could be entered dynamically at the prompt, where they would be lisp-compiled and applied to generate the needed agenda. Again C-c a m does this, after you have remembered how the syntax for tags and property searches works. - Carsten Hi Ilya, start with the manual, and the FAQ, and then see what remains of your questions/requests. - Carsten ilya On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 8:18 AM, Bernt Hansen be...@norang.ca wrote: Ilya Shlyakhter ilya_...@alum.mit.edu writes: Is it possible to filter the timeline view (agenda) by tag and/or by headline regexp?

[Orgmode] syncing org-mode files on three unconnected machines?
I am studying and using git in several ways at work and at home, and hope to dive further into the agenda possibilities. I have been using org-mode at work, on two machines, as well as at home, on my preferred main machine. I also would like to run emacs and org-mode sometimes on a laptop. I am not currently able to network or internetwork between them, due to various firewall and wireless router issues that are beyond my level. My question is basically how to keep the files consistent among the various machines. I have thought of at least two ways, but don't understand whether either of them will work: 1. I am now carrying around a USB flash drive with three ~/org trees from three machines. I have been trying to maintain important files by hand: cutting and pasting headlines and their subtrees, then sorting the entire target file. Is there a canonical method for merging two files (basically the same file on two different machines, edited at different times, with some overlaps)? 2. I am thinking git. I'm uncertain about git at the best, so I don't know how to implement this. Is this reasonable? A git archive is kept on a flash drive. It is updated from the drive of the current machine. ~/org on the current machine is also updated from the git archive on the flash drive. I am currently struggling to get git working on all my ~/org trees. Also, I have set some files outside that tree as remember targets or with links to be access from git files. Somehow, those files will have to be hardlinked on both or all three machines, meaning the machines will have to mirror each other. Somehow, any solution to this problem will need to be robust when I forget my flash drive. Am I dreaming?

[Orgmode] Re: syncing org-mode files on three unconnected machines?
Hi, You can use git or mercurial (or other decentralized VC) to do that. I use hg (mercurial). To achieve that, you can do like that: 1) Initialize a repo in org-tree1 2) Clone org-tree1 to org-tree2 and org-tree3 (on the machine1) 2) Put these three org-tree on your usb-key 3) Put these three org-tree on the machine 2 and 3. Thats all! Now on any machine you can edit org-tree1, make changes, and just pull changes from org-tree2 and 3. If you have your usb-key with you, pull the change from the key, if not, you will do it later and synchronize with the key on other machines. For a better experience, use DVC with hg or git. Alan E.

I am currently struggling to get git working on all my ~/org trees. Also, I have set some files outside that tree as remember targets or with links to be access from git files. Somehow, those files will have to be hardlinked on both or all three machines, meaning the machines will have to mirror each other. Somehow, any solution to this problem will need to be robust when I forget my flash drive. Am I dreaming?

[Orgmode] Problem logging state change for TODO's
Hello everyone, I am a fairly new user of Org-mode, and I 'm using v6.20i. I read about how to log a note each time I change the state of a TODO item (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Tracking-TODO-st ate-changes.html#Tracking-TODO-state-changes). And I did both the things recommended in the link above. However, I am not prompted for a note each time I change the task state, even when going to done. Am I missiing something? Sorry, can't figure this one out. Thanks for your time. Nick. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
