Re: [Orgmode] [OT] recutils
But since recfiles, the text files of recutils, are not hierarchically organized I am still considering to use only Org for the case of my collection of music.

Thus my wish for the file format would be to somehow keep in mind Org to potentially I noticed the file format is very similar to the layout of property drawers.

[Orgmode] Re: org-indent mode not indenting free text?
Hi Eric, Erik Iverson er...@ccbr.umn.edu writes: It only appears defined for Emacs 23.2, So in particular, 23.1.50 is 'stuck' in between these two version checks, and maybe that's causing Antti's issue? Sorry for the confusion and my apologies for any trouble I have caused. When introducing this patch I referred to the documentation that said with-silent-modifications was introduced in Emacs 23.2, hence the test for this version. I was completely unaware of Emacs 23.1.50, which must have this function, otherwise org-indent-mode should not work as it is currently implemented. In earlier versions of org-indent-mode the call to with-silent-modifications had been using org-unmodified (see [1] for why it has been changed), hence my attempt to redefine with-silent-modifications with org-unmodified when unavailable. The problems on Emacs 23.1.50 prove that these two are not really interchangeable, but I was hoping for close enough. As I understand, the crashes Emacs 23.1.50 with org-indent-mode have nothing to do with the bug that got fixed by with-silent-modifications, so these are really different issues. For the reasons outlined above my attempted patch is botched, but I'm not sure how to proceed. Maybe a better idea is to revert org-indent back to using org-unmodified and implementing this macro using with-silent-modifications on Emacsen where it is available. Since org-unmodified is used in many more places this would need some testing, but it might be easier to maintain in the long run. (defmacro org-unmodified (rest body) Execute body without changing `buffer-modified-p'. Also, do not record undo information. (if (not (fboundp 'with-silent-modifications)) `(set-buffer-modified-p (prog1 (buffer-modified-p) (let ((buffer-undo-list t) before-change-functions after-change-functions) ,@body))) `(with-silent-modifications ,@body))) The version check in org-indent.el should probably be replaced by a feature-check for with-silent-modifications to avoid the bug in [1].

(defun add-word () (interactive) '(org-table-put (@2 $2 word!))) and execute in a buffer having a table already. It did not work at all. Four problems: o point must be *in* the table before you call org-table-put (which incidentally also answers your question below about multiple tables). o line and column are integers: @2 and $2 is syntax for table formulas in the spreadsheet, not for providing arguments to this function. o quoting returns the quoted expression unevaluated, so the last line of your function does not do anything much; in particular, it does *not* call org-table-put at all (if it had you would have gotten an error). o lisp functions are called like this: (func arg1 arg2 ...) and *not* like this: (func (arg1 arg2 ...)) So your function should look something like this: (defun add-word () (interactive) (save-excursion (goto-char some-place-inside-the-table) (org-table-put 2 2 word! t))) where you'll have to figure out how to get the point somewhere inside the table. In the simplest case, providing a character position will work, but is obviously not very general. I won't try to explain the save-excursion here: see its documentation for more details. I'd recommend you spend some time studying the Introduction to Emacs Lisp guide: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-lisp-intro/html_node/index.html But also I kept wondering what could happen if there are two separate tables in the same buffer?

Re: [Orgmode] [OT] recutils
I would highly appreciate any comment or suggestion on improving the format, the utilities, or whatever. Wow! The ability to have a _relational_ database with foreign keys in a simple text file is so great news for me. A dream I had for many years now. Or is it lack of knowledge from my side about already existing solutions before recutils? I don't think there is anything similar. Initially I just wanted a simple format to store fields in readable and writable files. Something really simple. Then additional features came to my mind and I implemented them. But note that the relational characteristics in recutils are not very sophisticated. You can't have keys composed by more than one field, for example. The rule here is: if you need something more complex then you probably should be using a real relational dbms instead :) I was thinking about using sqlite from the command line and together with shell scripts for stuff like my collection of music with recordings, MIDI files, scores and so on. Because at least for me editing a text file is by far simpler, more interactive and more convenient than editing with SQL I will prefer recutils over sqlite. Additionally, text files are tool-independent. You could even print your database :) But since recfiles, the text files of recutils, are not hierarchically organized I am still considering to use only Org for the case of my collection of music. Org would have the advantages of outlining, hyperlinks, column view, todo, tags, agenda view, export for publishing and many others. Thus my wish for the file format would be to somehow keep in mind Org to potentially - convert the files bidirectionally between the format of recfiles and Org, with or without something like literate programming of org-babel I don't think it is generally possible to map the relationships between record types in a recfile to hierarchies in an org file. For example, in a recfile you could have something like: %rec: Album %key: Name %type: Year date Name: Loving You Year: 1957 Author:Name: Elvis Presley ... %rec: Author %key: Name Name: Elvis Presley You could extract: * Albums ** Elvis Presley *** Loving You But then, what if several authors authored an album? %rec: Album Name: Sounds of Silence Author:Name: Simon Author:Name: Garfunkel You could group by Album or by Author then. - use recutils as a language extension to org-babel, recutils reading data streamed to its stdin from org-babel and piping back to into org-babel result (no writing by recutils to the file) That sounds interesting. Would be nice to store rec data into the org files. Thanks for the suggestions :) -- Jose E.

[Orgmode] Encoded slashes in capture protocol URIs (via Chromium)
I've just had quite a bit of trouble setting up org capture protocol
handling with the Chromium web browser.
Using the Javascript function encodeURIComponent() replaces slashes with
a %2F, as expected; the problem is then that xdg-open fails to open URIs
containing %2F. Eventually I realised that xdg-open *can* accept a %2F,
but *only* if it comes after a ? in the URI.
So, as an ugly hack, I set the identifying character for the org-capture
template that handles my bookmarks to be a ?; this way, any occurrence
of %2F will come after a ?, so xdg-open won't complain!
So the bookmarklet (attached to the F4 key in chromium, using the
yakshave extension looks like this:
yak.bindings.add({
'f4': {
onkeydown: function(event) {
eval('location.href=org-protocol:/capture:/?/ +
encodeURIComponent(location.href) + / +
encodeURIComponent(document.title) + / +
encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection());');
}
}
});
Of course this is basically a horrible hack; but it might help some of
you out very slightly!

Re: [Orgmode] specifying priority with template expansion
On Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 5:42 PM, David A. Thompson thompd...@gmail.com wrote: Most of my todos are neither associated with deadlines nor are they scheduled. Schedules and deadlines have seemed a more time-intensive way to go relative to setting priorities (but perhaps this is a 'Green Eggs and Ham' thing?) Maybe. :-) They were certainly the ticket for me. I guess the main difference is that I generally am typically able to recognize, when recording a todo, whether it's in the 'urgent/asap' pile (A), the 'try-and-get-it-done-sometime-soon' pile (B), or in a 'sure-would-be-nice-to-get-it-done' pile (C). Given that, it seemed both logical and more efficient to immediately prioritize the item rather than going back later and prioritizing the item. Someone else is probably better suited to address your original post. As far as additional thoughts, I was only thinking about keystroke savings: 1) You can set priorities in agenda view by typing a comma and choosing priority. You can set them anywhere with =C-c ,=. Or, you can simply type them, =[#A]=. 2) Say you type them. That's four keystrokes. You could use =%?= in a template to past the cursor within the priority cookie, like =[#%?]=. But then you need two keystrokes to get out. 3) Whether 2) saves more time than 1) isn't clear to me, but might fit your case until/if/when priorities are added to templates.

Jeff Horn jrhorn...@gmail.com writes: Someone else is probably better suited to address your original post. As far as additional thoughts, I was only thinking about keystroke savings: 1) You can set priorities in agenda view by typing a comma and choosing priority. You can set them anywhere with =C-c ,=. Or, you can simply type them, =[#A]=. Or just use '+' and '-'. With ABC Priorities, thats even less keystrokes ;) - Memnon ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

As I'm going to introduce my colleagues into the nice world of org-babel giving a talk sometime next term I'll shamelessly steal from your work. (Of course giving attribution!) Some remarks: If you send it to Journal of _Statistical_ Software may be you should be a little bit more focused on statistics. You article introduces org-babel as a multi-language frontend to literate programming. What it is, but there is little statistics in it. In their article Gentleman and Lang introduced the statistical compendium. In my opinion emacs + org-mode + babel + all-programming-languages-we-know + LaTeX + HTML export build the first incarnation of a tool to really create such a compendium, org-babel being central in that chain. May be you can use some of Tom Dye's data to give an example of a self-contained statistical workflow. I used his introduction given in Worg to do my first steps in that direction. (Thx again Tom!) Doing everything beginning with data-cleaning over data analysis to template generating and report publishing and presentation in one text-file. That feature was, what caught me immediately as a statistician. If you want to focus on the simulation side (may be more focused on academics) I would stress the always-correctness of graphs in articles. You all know what I mean... Just my 2 cents. Of course it is great as it stands and surely I'm biased by my own needs. Detlef (a statistician) Thanks very much for the helpful comments and especially your perspective on the Journal of Statistical Software. I'm interested to learn how you've developed a statistical workflow with Org-mode beyond my first tentative steps in that direction. It would be great to have an example of your progress on Worg, if you can find the time.

[Orgmode] Questions about org-capture templates and usage
I apologize if I am breaking netiquette* by posting multiple
questions in a single posting. If so, please let me know, and I will
pare the following down into bite-sized chunks.
I have fallen in love with org-capture, from the start. I have had
some problems, and questions. The following is a short list of some
of my questions and issues . I'm sorry to do it this way, but perhaps
it's a tradeoff: many messages, or one long one. Which is more
annoying?
1. Eventually a tutorial will surely be available. I haven't found
one. Useful tutorials for me would be
1. How to make general templates, and pitfalls.
2. Advanced usages of org-capture: using functions, etc.
3. Common errors and causes
2. Documentation is minimal, while the complexity of the system is
great.
3. I have had to modify my usage to accomodate to changes in org-capture,
relative to org-remember. Some differences devolve from explicit
design features
1. It is no longer necessary to auto-save uncommitted items.
As a consequence there seems (as I understand it) to no
longer be a way to use a prefix key to allow one to visit the
item in it's context AFTER committing it with C-c C-c.
I have spend a good deal of time worrying over this, but
haven't solved the problem. Probably 90% of the times I save
(C-c C-c) the Captured item, I stumble over how to find it
again to enhance or review the item.
*Is there a way to do this, or can we request a way to do this?*
4. I would like to be able to capture to a non-orgmode file.
My remember template saved some notes, a list of items from an
agenda search, or any text was marked as a region, as a memo
wrapped up as a latex memo, with a latex memo header and
an \end{document.
It is my understanding that this won't work anymore because
capture will not save to a non-orgmode file.
*Is this correct, and/or what, if anything can I do to make
this work?* `
I have thought that it might be possible to make a custom agenda
report for such searches, that could be edited before final
export. I would want this to be printable as a memo.
5. Requests for Features:
1. An indication of the current target would be useful on either
the modeline or the CAPTURE header line.
2. Likewise, an indicator or nestedness of unsaved capture
items. (probably not worth the clutter).
3. Is there a way to go to the last captured item? Is there a
ring that can be cycled through? *This would be useful*
Thank you for this fantastic work.
