I happen to think that this suggestion goes too far (if you think nobody should use OIrg from ELPA, then you'd need to stop making it available there and hopefully we already agreed that this isn't an option). No, we did not agreed this isn't an option. I think this is an option. There is actually no problem with ELPA when you install Org from it before you've used Org (it wasn't designed to cope with any other situation). In most cases that means simply using a fresh Emacs instance to install Org from ELPA is good enough. In those cases where Org is loaded during initialization (and systems doing that really shouldn't do this before package-initialize or else unload any features they have needed), one can resort to 'emacs -Q' if the package directory has not been changed from the defaults or '(unload-feature 'org t)' when that would be a concern. How can you make sure that Org-mode has not been used before people want to install an updated version through GNU/Org ELPA? I can't think of any good way. Until someone have an idea about this, I'm very serious about removing the possibility of installing Org through ELPA. But as I said I won't do this before getting a sense of what the users use and expect. -- Bastien

[O] Bug: manual for table column width and alignment [7.9.3a (7.9.3a-elpa @ /home/joost/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20130108/)]
hi, The manual states that the width and alignment values can be combined. The example uses a combination of l and 10. The `l' is not the best way to demonstrate this, as it looks like a `1'. The scanning reader may see 110 instead of l10. If the manual reads r10, the example is a lot more valuable. Also, in order to not rely on an example only, the text `may also combine alignment and field width' will be better if it reads `may also combine alignment and field width as a single multi letter specification within pointy brackets' It's all in doc/org.texi line 2247.

Re: [O] Still Wishing for Snooze
Hi Andrew On Thu, Jan 24, 2013 at 11:54 PM, Andrew M. Nuxoll nux...@up.edu wrote: Here an example scenario that illustrates my problem: Say, at the end of each week I need to sit down and generate a report on my progress to send to the boss. So I have recurring, weekly TODO entry on Friday morning. Well, one week the report is delayed because a coworker was ill and couldn't send me the data I needed on time. So, I have to delay that TODO entry until Monday *just this one time.* I need to get it off my agenda for the day but I don't want to mark is as completed because it's not. Right now the only way to do that is to mark it as completed anyway but make a one-time copy of the TODO item with the new scheduled date. The problem is that I have roughly thirty TODO items per day and, on any given day, I need to delay about 10-20% of them for various reasons. (It's the nature of my job though I don't think it's that unusual.) So making a copy of a TODO item each time is inconvenient because I end up with dozens of copies floating about. Furthermore, a delayed TODO item should have more urgency since it's been delayed. But creating a copy means i can't do that. When Monday rolls around and it's time to prepare that report it shows up in green text like this in my agenda: Scheduled: TODO [#B] Prepare TPS Report but I want it to be in red text like this: Sched. 4x: TODO [#B] Prepare TPS Report This is why I'm looking for a distinct snooze or delay functionality. I want a TODO item to disappear from the agenda until a specified date and then reappear again waiting to be done with all the urgency associated with that delay. Let me only suggest an idea to deal with this, item-based: When the DEADLINE “warning period” would be generalized to allow positive numbers then it would extend to a “warning and delay period”. Starting with: * TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines DEADLINE: 2013-01-22 Tue +1w -0d It could be delayed to 2013-01-24 Thu which means two days later by changing the “warning and delay period” to 2d: * TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines DEADLINE: 2013-01-22 Tue +1w 2d This would not show up in the agenda until 2013-01-24 Thu. At that date it would be shown with the desirable “In -2 d.:” for overdue to get the higher priority. When set to done it would become: * TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines DEADLINE: 2013-01-29 Tue +1w -0d Note the change from 2d to -0d: It is important that when the date repeats and has a positive warning period aka delay period then it must be reset to -0d. Otherwise undesirable suprises are guaranteed. The same “warning and delay period” could also be allowed for SCHEDULED, mainly usable with a positive range for a delay. Probably what you would prefer over DEADLINE for your use case. I would even allow negative numbers for a warning for SCHEDULED, with a default warning period of -0d to reflect current behavior.

This variable is safe as a file local variable if its value satisfies the predicate `(lambda (x) (or (stringp x) (member x (quote (t nil shared dwim)'. Documentation: *The master file associated with the current buffer. If the file being edited is actually included from another file, you can tell AUCTeX the name of the master file by setting this variable. If there are multiple levels of nesting, specify the top level file. [...] It is suggested that you use the File Variables (see the info node in ^^^ the Emacs manual) to set this variable permanently for each file. ^^^ Is it so? If yes, can we make a better patch? I do not think so. I do not see what's breaking here. The users gets what he wanna get. We could come up with some magic that preloads latex-mode (I proposed that in 87r4ods...@ch.ristopher.com) and sets TeX-master buffer locally iff latex-mode actually defines this var. Yet, this is not how things should be. Org cannot, and should not, mess with other packages. Customising TeX-master is the bug, and it is on the users side.

Re: [O] Using non-org files as agenda files?
Hello Samuel and Eric Thank you for your suggestions. I have tried In-Place Annotations in the meantime. However, that doesn't work because every line of annotation begins with a hard-coded :, which breaks the orgmode markup. [Hm, now, I'm just thinking about the possibility to simply replace that by * in the el.] Switching to babel might be a solution. I will try it. At the moment I'm using org-annotate-file with similar results as Samuel's suggestion would yield. Org-annotate-file didn't work for me in the past, because it didn't recognize the exact line in the associated document (org-annotate-file-add-search) for any reason. But now it works. Anyway, this package is not able to display an annotation within the original file (what In-Place Annotations can do).

Re: [O] Still Wishing for Snooze
That looks like a delay period on a SCHEDULED item would work very well for me. I can see the positive delay period being useful to me as well. This does look like it would be more difficult to implement because it's a subtle change to existing code rather than something more modular. :AMN: On 01/25/2013 03:10 AM, Michael Brand wrote: Hi Andrew On Thu, Jan 24, 2013 at 11:54 PM, Andrew M. Nuxoll nux...@up.edu wrote: Here an example scenario that illustrates my problem: Say, at the end of each week I need to sit down and generate a report on my progress to send to the boss. So I have recurring, weekly TODO entry on Friday morning. Well, one week the report is delayed because a coworker was ill and couldn't send me the data I needed on time. So, I have to delay that TODO entry until Monday *just this one time.* I need to get it off my agenda for the day but I don't want to mark is as completed because it's not. Right now the only way to do that is to mark it as completed anyway but make a one-time copy of the TODO item with the new scheduled date. The problem is that I have roughly thirty TODO items per day and, on any given day, I need to delay about 10-20% of them for various reasons. (It's the nature of my job though I don't think it's that unusual.) So making a copy of a TODO item each time is inconvenient because I end up with dozens of copies floating about. Furthermore, a delayed TODO item should have more urgency since it's been delayed. But creating a copy means i can't do that. When Monday rolls around and it's time to prepare that report it shows up in green text like this in my agenda: Scheduled: TODO [#B] Prepare TPS Report but I want it to be in red text like this: Sched. 4x: TODO [#B] Prepare TPS Report This is why I'm looking for a distinct snooze or delay functionality. I want a TODO item to disappear from the agenda until a specified date and then reappear again waiting to be done with all the urgency associated with that delay. Let me only suggest an idea to deal with this, item-based: When the DEADLINE “warning period” would be generalized to allow positive numbers then it would extend to a “warning and delay period”. Starting with: * TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines DEADLINE: 2013-01-22 Tue +1w -0d It could be delayed to 2013-01-24 Thu which means two days later by changing the “warning and delay period” to 2d: * TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines DEADLINE: 2013-01-22 Tue +1w 2d This would not show up in the agenda until 2013-01-24 Thu. At that date it would be shown with the desirable “In -2 d.:” for overdue to get the higher priority. When set to done it would become: * TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines DEADLINE: 2013-01-29 Tue +1w -0d Note the change from 2d to -0d: It is important that when the date repeats and has a positive warning period aka delay period then it must be reset to -0d. Otherwise undesirable suprises are guaranteed. The same “warning and delay period” could also be allowed for SCHEDULED, mainly usable with a positive range for a delay. Probably what you would prefer over DEADLINE for your use case. I would even allow negative numbers for a warning for SCHEDULED, with a default warning period of -0d to reflect current behavior.

No, we did not agreed this isn't an option. My reading comprehension may be at an all-time low, but this is what you wrote in another thread: This [removing Org from ELPA -ed] is using Org users as hostages, I don't want to do this. I think this is an option. Hm… I'm obviously missing some piece. How can you make sure that Org-mode has not been used before people want to install an updated version through GNU/Org ELPA? That's what the patch does that you didn't like. I can't think of any good way. Until someone have an idea about this, I'm very serious about removing the possibility of installing Org through ELPA. But as I said I won't do this before getting a sense of what the users use and expect. There are exactly two possibilities to get into this situation: The first is using Org anything before opening the package manager. I think it should be possible to educate users that it's better t use a fresh Emacs instance for updating or installing packages until this has been fixed in package manager. The second are things like starter-kit. I'm thinking that it should be the responsibility of such software to load and unload Org if they really need to use it before activating packages and ask for support from Emacs devs in how to do this properly. Package manager is a first class citizen of Emacs by now which means any add-on has to cope with its existence. It's interesting to see that the bugs seem to get chalked up to the packages that are in ELPA rather than the mechanisms that install them (or prevent proper initialization of Emacs) and it kind of seems to fly under the radar for this reason even though it seems to affect many users and has had for quite some time already.

The problem is that I want the top section to remain the same, i.e. Minutes from 2013-01-18 is the top section and the others to be subsection of that. Currently, it surely exports the right subtree but the top-section is not Minutes from 2013-01-18, but the bullet after that. I get the same behavior. Does it need to export it in a tree like format, or would you be okay with your top level headline (the one you want exported, but which is currently not) being the actual title of the document? Or is that what you're currently getting. This is what I'm currently getting. I want to have a document with all my minutes and my idea is, that I should be able to export one heading for each meeting, so I can prepare an agenda and afterwards fill in the outcome of the discussions. With default settings (org-export-latex-title-command \\maketitle), I get the top-most headline of the marked subtree as my document title and the next level headline as the first section. Is this what you're getting, or the top headline text isn't showing up in the document at all? Yes, I get the same result. I don't want subsections to be promoted to sections when I export the org-markup. Is that possible? So you're kind of getting what you want, it's just that you want the current title to be left aligned/bold like a section? Can you explain what you mean by don't want subsections to be promoted to sections?

John If having it as the title would work, you would get: -- [centered]Minutes from 2013-01-18[centered] A bit of white space Any text directly under Minutes from 2013-01-18... [section] The first headline under Minutes from 2013-01-18 [section] text under that headline [section 2] The second headline under Minutes from 2013-01-18 [section] text under that headline -- If it's just the centered text/bit white space gap you don't like, I'm sure there's LaTeX header arguments you could put in your Org document or setupfile to left-align the title and remove the space. What do you think of that option? Also... just to save you *one* keystroke, you can put your cursor on the headline of interest and do =C-e 1 p=, which I think does the same as marking the whole subtree with =C-c @ C-e p=.

I can customise the above variable to set the background for latex images to white, which at least allows the equations to be seen, but this is a mildly ugly solution. :( And ruins any geek street cred I might have had ;-) Thanks, eric -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.3.50.1 and Org release_7.9.3d-874-gf11acc
