Re: [O] Manual issue: C-c a binding used in manual but it is not set by org-mode

If you search the manual for C-c a you will not find 1.3 Activation where it suggests configuring (global-set-key \C-ca 'org-agenda) Note the missing space.

[O] capture whenever
I had trouble getting org-capture to behave from a hotkey: It worked fine but would not give the emacs buffer focus making it pretty useless. I worked around the problem using wmctrl (which is in the debian/ubuntu repos). I created a small script: === #!/bin/bash wmctrl -Fa 'emacs@dev' emacsclient org-protocol:/capture:/foo/ where 'emacs@dev' is the title of my main emacs window when it comes up. The script works fine even though the window's title changes when I use multiple windows. Now when I hit the pause key, the script runs and I can capture the thought or snippet without interrupting what I'm doing. I'm sure there is a better way but this works. It would be nice to avoid needing wmctrl (I searched in vain for the 'give focus' option on emacsclient) and to be able to drop the '/foo/' (without which it breaks). Thanks for the help getting there.

[O] org-read-date-prefer-future should prefer next week if the given time is before now
I have (setq org-read-date-prefer-future 'time) in my .emacs, so if I give a time like 8am and it is before now then it is interpreted as tomorrow. This is good, because I never want to set times in the past. However if I give thu 8am (it is Thursday 11:50am here, so Thu 8am is before now) then org interpretes it as 8am today. When org-read-date-prefer-future is set then org should also interpret times given as day+time as future times if the day of week is the same, but the given time is before now. That is, in this case Thu 8am should be interpreted as 8am next Thursday.
Re: [O] [PATCH] org version under Windows 7
Giovanni Ridolfi giovanni.ridolfi at yahoo.it writes: that does not work. )-: Instead of doing what is said in the document you keep inventing your own invocations. Why not simply follow the instructions? Hint: org is not the same as .., so substituting one for the other isn't going to work. You have to cd into the directory where org is installed (just like you would have to if you were to run make), I'll make this more explicit. So for the apparent location of org from your last post you'd do: c:\Users\me cd org c:\Users\me\org c:\users\me\programs\emacs\bin\emacs.exe -Q -L lisp -l ../UTILITIES/org-fixup Since you are obviously not comfortable working at a shell prompt, why not use Emacs-24 und install org from ELPA?

Re: [O] Org Properties and tab completion issues
Problems: 1. If the property is not yet used on an entry, tab completion only shows property_ALL instead of property, and of course there is no completion on possible values. There was a small bug here -- please pull from git and test. Thanks for reporting this. 2. inherited properties - Where is the GENRES property and the inheritance? I don't understand. The manual gives an example of an inherited property (GENRES in the discography example) but (org-entry-properties) does not return it. Is there a different function for this? From the function description: (org-entry-properties optional POM WHICH SPECIFIC) Get all properties of the entry at point-or-marker POM. This includes the TODO keyword, the tags, time strings for deadline, scheduled, and clocking, and any additional properties defined in the entry. The return value is an alist, keys may occur multiple times if the property key was used several times. POM may also be nil, in which case the current entry is used. If WHICH is nil or `all', get all properties. If WHICH is `special' or `standard', only get that subclass. If WHICH is a string only get exactly this property. SPECIFIC can be a string, the specific property we are interested in. Specifying it can speed things up because then unnecessary parsing is avoided. By the way, how is WHICH different from SPECIFIC? 3. Is there a way to display only some of the STANDARD properties along with my custom properties in the completion buffer? Nope. I think completion is handy enough like this, but perhaps I misunderstand the request. There are about 28 STANDARD properties, if I add 30 custom properties, the completion list becomes overwhelming. Is there a way to to hardcode the completion list to just the properties I want it to offer? HTH, -- Bastien Thanks Bastien!!
[O] Bug: reftex omits everything = a closing } in a bib entry title [7.8.11
Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback
Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list.
First of all, is this the right list? The use-case is via orgmode and the
audience is probably appropriate.
I would expect that the whole of a bibtex entry would be inserted when
asked to do so but sometimes what happens is that the entry is
terminated at a closing }, depending on what comes after it.
e.g.
expect: A critical appraisal of the {ABC}
get:A critical appraisal of the {ABC
A minimal example follows.
# starting like this:
emacs -Q -l reftexBug.el
# reftexBug.bib contains:
@article{no_work,
title = {A critical appraisal of the {ABC}}}
@article{still_no_work,
title = {A critical appraisal of the {ABC} }}
@article{this_works,
title = {A critical appraisal of the {ABC}a}}
@article{and_this_works,
title = {A critical appraisal of the {ABC}.}}
# reftexBug.el contains:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(\\.org$ . org-mode))
(setq reftex-default-bibliography (quote(reftexBug.bib)))
(defun org-mode-reftex-setup ()
(setq TeX-master t)
(load-library reftex)
(and (buffer-file-name)
(file-exists-p (buffer-file-name))
(reftex-parse-all)
(progn
(reftex-parse-all)
(reftex-set-cite-format
'((?t . %t)
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd C-c )) 'reftex-citation))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-mode-reftex-setup)
- open a new org file 'C-x f a.org RET'
- press 'C-c )' choose 't' to insert a title
- type 'no_work RET'
results in: A critical appraisal of the {ABC
I would have expected: A critical appraisal of the {ABC}

I made a project poster using beamerposter.sty once as well and it turned out well, though I think it took more time than if I had just used PowerPoint. I only use MS where I have to -- editing a team member's ppt slide for a larger presentation that multiple folks are contributing to. I have issues every once in a while with someone wanting to re-use my presentation material and obviously an org-file or the raw PDF wont' do them much good. Sometimes I've tried to re-package in ppt or sometimes I just say, I'll send you my presentation, but the format I have it in won't do you much good. I use a program that works awesome for me, but no one really uses it. In essence... I can share my data and information quite well without having to use MS Office. I happen to work in an environment where folks are usually interested in raw data (I can provide the same .csv or .xls export from LibreOffice that I use myself) or read only reference material. There's not a ton of collaborative document editing going on. Anyway, I was worried about this as well. I found that making it known I prefer to use fringe software because it's awesome and makes me more efficient has helped people just get used to that fact ;) John Kind regards Martin

I'm exporting a Beamer presentation with R babel blocks and my plots
are not centered. This should be a reproducible example:

#+startup: beamer
#+latex_class: beamer
#+options: toc:nil latex:t tex:t
#+latex_class_options: [presentation,bigger]
#+beamer_frame_level: 1

#+begin_src R :exports results :results output graphics :file file.pdf
x - c(1:10)
y - x^2
plot(x,y)
#+end_src

I tried putting #+begin_center and #+end_center around the block, but
it changes the LaTeX export to wrapping my R block in
\begin/\end{verbatim}.
Worg ob-R-doc has a :pagecentre option, but says it defaults to true,
so I'm not sure that's my fix.
This is pretty much brute-force, but seems to work:
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+startup: beamer
#+latex_class: beamer
#+options: toc:nil latex:t tex:t
#+latex_class_options: [presentation,bigger]
#+beamer_frame_level: 1
* plot
#+header: :width 8 :height 6
#+name: foo
#+begin_src R :exports results :results output graphics :file file.pdf
:pagecentre true
x - c(1:10)
y - x^2
plot(x,y)
#+end_src
#+LATEX: \begin{center}
#+RESULTS: foo
[[file:file.pdf]]
#+LATEX: \end{center}
--8---cut here---end---8---
I only get a #+results line if I do C-c C-c on the block. I'm
primarily tweaking other stuff and just using C-c C-e p to export to
LaTeX, which produces no #+results section and thus does not allow me
to use a center environment around that bit. I suppose I can manually
add them, but if I re-evaluate babel doesn't recognize it as the
#+results section anymore and I wind up with this after the second
eval:
Not here: if you have a *named* code block (did you add the ``#+name: foo''
line to the code block?), the results block is named the same way the first
time it is generated (as you say, C-c C-c on the block is necessary to
produce it). But once it is produced, I can delete the link to file.pdf
(but not the ``#+RESULTS: foo'' line), redo the C-c C-c and end up with
exactly the same thing as before: no duplication of results blocks.
Ah. I did not (and do not usually) use the #+name argument. I'll try that out.
Thanks!
John
And this property of named blocks allows the results block to be separated
from the code block by arbitrary intervening text:
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+startup: beamer
#+latex_class: beamer
#+options: toc:nil latex:t tex:t
#+latex_class_options: [presentation,bigger]
#+beamer_frame_level: 1
* plot
#+header: :width 8 :height 6
#+name: foo
#+begin_src R :exports results :results output graphics :file file.pdf
:pagecentre true
x - c(1:10)
y - x^2
plot(x,y)
#+end_src
foo
bar
* baz
#+LATEX: \begin{center}
#+RESULTS: foo
#+LATEX: \end{center}
--8---cut here---end---8---
The link will be placed after the ``#+RESULTS: foo'' line.

PS. Org-mode version 7.8.11 (release_7.8.11-139-g0442b9 @
/home/nick/elisp/org-mode/lisp/)
(includes 3 local commits).
-
#+RESULTS: foo
[[file:file.pdf]]
#+LATEX: \begin{center}
#+RESULTS: foo
[[file:file.pdf]]
#+LATEX: \end{center}

I still may consider it as an interim solution. I'm surprised there's
no option to center resultant plots!
PPS. There may be: I just don't know.

Well, a large part of my work is sharing and editing Office documents together with other people and as meetings are planned with MS Outlook/MS Exchange etc, I can not avoid using MS Outlook and MS Office and it is not sufficient to distribute PDF documents. So unfortunately I'll have to find a way to integrate as good as possible. (I had tried to use MS Outlook 2007 for managing tasks for some weeks but I was missing a lot of features I got used to from org-mode, so I installed org-mode. One example of helpful integration: if I send or get an e-mail which I want to follow-up on later, I want to track that in org-mode and I want to have a way to quickly find the original message in Outlook again (to reply or forward it or whatever), which can be done with hyperlinks. I'm sure there are a lot more useful tricks which can help in daily work, e. g. a vba macro which copies the path to the currently open word or excel document into the clipboard or even directly opens org-capture to add some note or task which is linked to this document... So I'm hoping to get in contact with people with the same problems or solutions to them. :-) Kind regards Martin
[O] Update-persistent R library repo
I recently inquired with someone at an R meetup group about how to make an update-persistant repo for my R libraries. He suggested creating a file ~/.Renviron with the contents: .--- | R_LIBS=C:/Users/a1rwhzz/Documents/R `--- I did this and it works great from the R program via my Windows start shortcut, but not from Emacs/ESS which is what Org-mode looks for. I thought I'd ask here as surely some of you have done this. I think the primary issue is that Emacs defines ~/ as C:/Users/uname/AppData/Roaming whereas the R program seems to define it as C:/Users/uname/Documents (which is also C:/Users/uname/My Documents). Suggestions? Also, since I created this file, my CRAN mirror GUI picker no longer pops up with install.packages(). I'm thinking there has to be a more robust way. Do you typically start R in the same directory each time when using ESS/Org-mode? Thanks for any suggestions, John

Another quick useful tip for Org publishing:
I do have to use Visio for making technical drawings, which are
frequently a full page. I export from Visio directly to PDF using the
built in publish method. When I compiled Org to PDF via Latex, I found
that if I include the pdfpages package which I believe is included
in texlive, I can insert the full Visio PDF page into the final output
without having my normal headers and footers or disrupting the
document.
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{pdfpages}
\includepdf[angle=90]{./diagram.pdf}
Good luck!
