Well, to use an example that I think the OP (Andrew) would identify with, when a funding agency puts out a call for proposals, they will give a strict deadline (e.g. 12 noon, 5 August 2009). That date is critical to the activity of writing the proposal if one intends to apply for funding so the date gets put in my org file immediately. Subsequently, when I figure out when I will have time to work on writing the proposal, I will schedule the appropriate event. I must admit, however, that I do frequently simply put an active time stamp on the note for when I want to work on this task. I guess it depends on the "granularity" of the scheduling of the task: if I intend to work on it at some specific hour of the day, I'll use a time stamp; if I intend to tackle the task "sometime" on Thursday, I'll schedule it. The latter may be the wrong way to do it but the reality is that my "planned" schedule often goes completely out the window due to external factors and any time stamped activities disappear off the agenda view the following day whereas scheduled items do not. This makes scheduling appealing as it allows me to say, the next day, "ooops, I forgot to actually work on that proposal yesterday...". YMMV, of course! cheers, eric ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

He doesn't want to be bugged about it before SCHEDULED, and it will be too late after DEADLINE.

Exactly. The beauty of Emacs is that there are multiple options for everything. Overwriting org when I updated Carbon Emacs wasn't really an issue for me because 1) Carbon Emacs is very rarely updated 2) I pull the latest changes from the git repo and run make && make install every day. The reason I just threw org-mode in the Emacs.app directory is that I also had EmacsCVS.app and wanted to keep separate byte-compiled for Emacs 22 and Emacs 23. If you're looking for the simplest way to install a byte-compiled org-mode, I believe you could just clone the git repository to ~/org-mode, run make in the directory, and then add ~/org-mode/lisp to your load path. > Of course, it's very convenient when you download Carbon Emacs (or > others) that everything is in place, but since when do Linuxers care > about convenience? :-) Well, I suppose in this case convenience is in the eye of the beholder.

In that case a second line should do: (require 'org-install) But I'm not sure this works.

Hello, I think I discoverd a bug in LaTeX export. I mark a subtree with C-c @ and then export it to LaTeX with C-c C-e L. If the subtree has no further subtrees the LaTeX-file not only contains the region, but also the rest of the document to the end. Here is an example: ,[ test.org ] | * Kapitel 1 | ** Kapitel 1.1 |foo bar | * Kapitel 2 | bar foo ` If the Kapitel 1.1 subtree is marked the LaTeX output looks like this: ,[ LaTeX output ] | % Created 2009-07-10 Fr 12:33 | \documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article} | \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} | \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} | \usepackage{hyperref} | | | \title{Kapitel 1.1} | \author{Holst Thomas} | \date{10 Juli 2009} | | \begin{document} | | \textbf{Kapitel 1.1} | | \setcounter{tocdepth}{3} | \tableofcontents | \vspace*{1cm} |foo bar | \begin{itemize} | \item Kapitel 2 | bar foo | \end{itemize} | | \end{document} ` Kapitel 2 is also included. This does not happen if the subtree has additonal subtrees. If I mark the Kapitel 1 subtree the output is as expected. When the bug happens, `org-export-latex-default-class' does not work.

Re: [Orgmode] Error when exporting as Latex
Others may correct me but I think this is the same issue I had yesterday. The reason is that the two versions of Org - the one shipped with your Emacs and the latest one you installed by yourself conflict in some way. Some time ago the lisp-file for LaTeX export was renamed - perhaps this is why you get an error. My solution was to rename the Org-lisp-files in c:/bin/emacs-22.3/lisp/textmodes/. For example org-export-latex.elc gets org-export-latex.elc_save and so on. After that Emacs can only find the latest Org-version. I then had to add (require 'org-latex) to my ~/.emacs.

And I promise we'll be nice even after he comes back :-) Err, whoops! So let me turn the question around: why do you need to both SCHEDULE and DEADLINE the same item? In my mind, there is no conflict between scheduling and deadlining. So, I may be missing something. In my case, I am scheduling myself to work on an item that has a deadline. I don't think that's an unusual scenario. For example, I have a grant proposal I need to have a draft of by Monday (DEADLINE) but I've scheduled Thursday afternoon to work on it. By putting SCHEDULED on it means that it gets attention on that day unless Murphy steps in. If Murphy does, then I still have the benefit of the DEADLINE to keep me apprised of my dire situation. An alternative (which I don't like) is to not use DEADLINE on a SCHEDULED item. Instead, I can just attach a second date to the item and label it "deadline" or "drop dead date." So, the best option I have now is to ignore the double entry. I was hoping there was a magic variable(TM) for this like there was with the other issue. You could specify a per deadline warning period. The example for the manual: DEADLINE: <2004-02-29 Sun -5d>, which will start prompting you 5 days before the deadline. I use this to remind me that I need to start working on something which has a fixed deadline. Ian. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
