Re: [O] update to ob-clojure.el
I've made an update to ob-clojure.el, which wasn't working for me with the new cider (the required function was removed). I haven't looked into 'nrepl or 'slime options for evaluation, is anyone using them? Eric, should 'nrepl option be removed as obsolete? And maybe 'slime as well? I'm not sure about removing nrepl and slime, as there may be some still using them, especially nrepl. As long as it is not getting in the way, perhaps at this time it would be better to leave them in? I'm not sure the open-source and/or emacs-org philosophy on this kind of thing. Prior to updating the documentation for Clojure code blocks earlier this year, which was several years old, I did a lot of searching around and came to the conclusion that the slime and swank-clojure functionality was no longer being developed, and the community had moved on to nrepl. CIDER evolved from nrepl, and is the current direction. https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider The revised documentation is very CIDER-centric: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-clojure.html My point was that if even CIDER, which is a favorite method, has bit-rotted to the point of not working, makes it a bit questionable to try to support the other two methods. For instance, I could not get SLIME to work with org when I tried a year ago, so I don't know if it's working now. And CIDER replaces nREPL, so nREPL should be dropped at some point. On the other hand, since nREPL isn't being edited now it's unlikely to produce the same problem as CIDER did (the function used by ob-clojure was removed from CIDER). regards, Oleh

Re: [O] Fwd: Mac OS Alias file links
Hi Bastien,
Thanks for letting me know it displays properly and email received. The
URL works for me this morning too.

Aliases are a type of links (ln on linux, shortcut on Windows
alias on OS X (OS X of course also supports ln)). The difference
between an OS X alias and ln is that if the target is moved, the OS X
alias still points to it, and double-clicking on an alias (or issuing
the open command in a terminal) will open the target, wherever it
is. I just checked in a VM and Windows Shortcuts also behave this way.
Therefore, if in addition to file: there were an alias: option, Org
could link to files that move. I think this is a powerful feature. I
imagine alias: would be an option when I press C-cl, and a way to set
it as the default when I press C-ucl.
That is, links would be [[alias:foo][FileName]] where foo is a string
version (hashed?) of the alias.
In BibDesk, foo is ~1200 characters long, and according to the BibDesk
documentation, that ~1200 characters is:
The Bdsk-File entries store Mac OS aliases, which contain a file ID
and absolute path. Bdsk-File entries also store a relative path, which
is used if the alias is broken.
So it looks like an Alias can be hashed some way and stored as just a
string. An example BibDesk entry in by BibTeX file looks like:
@article{citekey,
Author = {Someone},
Journal = {Nature},
Pages = {24--42},
Title = {{A Paper}},
Bdsk-File-1 = {YnBsa...etc for 1200 characters...}}
Opening the file with C-o would involve un-hashing it, and then treating
it the same way a file: is opened.
I imagine Org would mostly store the links the same way it stores file
links. The change would be that since the link is the alias (long ugly
string), the description would be required, and perhaps default to
/path/to/filename. Although since the whole point is that the /path/to/
can change, perhaps the default name would just be filename.
-k.

What does emacs do when you C-x C-f an alias?
If it opens it properly (i.e. opens the target file) then why is
anything needed in org? It seems to me that a file: link should just
work.
If it does not, then maybe that's where the capability should be added.
Org seems to be the wrong place for it.
But note that everything I know about aliases, I learnt in the last five
minutes, so I could be way off the mark.

This requires me to 1) manually make an alias (something I never do), 2) choose where to store that alias on disk, and then 3) link to the alias in Org. Worse, the situation is not improved or difference since if the alias moves, the Org link (to the alias) is broken. I'm imagining the alias never exists on disk. Just as a representation inside Org, and pointing to the target file. Now the link can never break, unless the target is deleted. And there is no additional effort on our part beyond the existing work to make a link. -k. P.S. How does one make a link to a folder or directory in org?
[O] empty default captions for src blocks
Hallo,
I have a small question, I hope it is right here. The following org code:
#+CAPTION: caption of block 1
#+BEGIN_SRC
vmpovapd %%zmm0, %zmm1
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC
vmpovapd %%zmm0, %zmm1
#+END_SRC
is exported (in my setup) to latex as:
\lstset{language=phiassembler,caption={caption of block1},numbers=none}
\begin{lstlisting}
vmpovapd %%zmm0, %zmm1
\end{lstlisting}
\begin{lstlisting}
vmpovapd %%zmm0, %zmm1
\end{lstlisting}
which results in the rendered pdf as two listings with the same caption,
although only the first block has a caption. I think this is because of
the lstlistings statemachine, that is maniupulated through lstset. It
has an unchanged state in the second listing, which then gets the same
caption.
Is there an easy way to fix this? My hack so far is to modify
ox-latex.el so that
2171:(when caption-str `((caption ,caption-str)))
becomes:
2171:(if caption-str `((caption ,caption-str)) `((caption ,{})) )
which adds a default empty caption, which makes everything behave like I
want it to, so no wrong captions on source blocks where I define no
caption. My org version is 8.2.5h.

Dominik

Hi Nick, I would like to thank you, since your message made me curious about git, and I started using it.

Just out of curiosity: does the '888' in '8.2.5h-888-g798bb8d' is a number that is incremented chronologically? If this is correct (I'm not familiar with this at all), FWIW, the bug was not caused only by the patch '8.2.5h-888-g798bb8d', since I observed it also with version 8.2.5h-94-g91175a. 888 is the number of commits since the commit that was tagged '8.2.5h'. Unfortunately, that number can be misleading: in the face of merges, there may be multiple paths that lead from some commit back to the tagged commit (run `gitk master' if you want to see the multiple paths), so the number of commits since the tag is ambiguous. It is only unambiguous if the history is strictly linear. If you do `git log --oneline -100' on master, you'll see that there is a merge commit d25846b that looks like this: , | $ git show d25846b | commit d25846b2340e32dea93fc89ea432f74a7f64d950 | Merge: f261833 91175a3 | Author: Nicolas Goaziou n.goaz...@gmail.com | Date: Sat Mar 29 15:02:10 2014 +0100 | | Merge branch 'maint' ` The merge commit has two parents: f261833 and our old friend 91175a3.

But that's because `git describe' takes a different, much longer, path back to the tagged commit: it follows the first parent of the merge commit. So I'm pretty sure that the patch that the bisection fingered is indeed the culprit. I believe this is correct but if not, Achim will correct me:-) -- Nick

But that is probably not going into 8.2.6 in any case. I don't think we need to completely parse the URI because: - we are not going to consume it, - Org syntax is not completely compatible with RFC3986 (e.g., search options like [[file:test.org::* My headline]]). I think we need scheme, authority, path+query+fragment, and search options. At the moment, the parser handles scheme, authority+path+query+fragment and search options. `url-generic-parse-url' may help, too. We also need a function to build back the link, in order to make life of back-end developers easier. This is why authority is needed. Another one is to drop the whole thing, return to previous state, and implement ad-hoc rules to fix file:, which is probably the only scheme introducing problems. I forgot what the previous state was, but trying to fix file: URIs without correctly parsing them sounds like a losing proposition. Previous state was, in a nutshell, to recognize scheme:blob, which leads to the same kind of problem since blob may or may not contain the authority part. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
[O] Fast Access to TODO States without C-t
I'm trying to figure out how to bind fast access to TODO states, without using C-t. The reason is that I have C-t as escape code for my screen session. The command org-todo is bound to C-c t here, so when I try to fast access to the TODO state DONE(d!), I can't get to it. C-c t d just puts 'd' in the buffer after switching to the next state. According to the manual, I'm supposed to hit C-c C-t d Any pointers as to how I can do this? -- Esben Stien is b0ef@e s a http://www. s tn m irc://irc. b - i . e/%23contact sip:b0ef@ e e jid:b0ef@n n
[O] Multiple Recursive Directories with org-agenda-files
I'm trying to add a few recursive directories to org-agenda-files, but can't really find any examples doing this I got like 250 org files spread over a few directories. I want to add: ~/foo/bar/ ~/baz/quux/ ~/hukarz/grault/ ..which again includes multiple directories with .org files and a few other files which I don't want included.

I don't think so. I'm not sure how BibDesk handles it, but my BibTeX

that 1200 character field that encodes the alias. Clearly BibDesk does
something neat to encode and decode that field, but once created, the OS

don't think Finder would need to know about a string in an Org file
either.
We can look at a BibDesk file to see how it works. It adds a special field
like:
Bdsk-File-1 = {YnBsaXN0MDDUA...AAAMO}
We guess that this base64 encoded, so we decode it (M-x base64-decode-region)
This then gives us a binary plist (it starts with bplist) which we can turn
into a readable form with M-: plutil -convert xml1 -o - - RET
This gives an xml representation of what BibDesk stores. It’s an archived
object of some kind, but I don’t know about OS X aliases to know what is the
important part--I presume the NS.data portion. It probably wouldn’t be too
hard to borrow the code from BibDesk and extend Emacs to do the same thing, or
write an external script. I’m not sure whether it would be possible to do it
without touching C/Obj-C. I would be interested in using such a thing (in
BibDesk .bib files actually), though probably not in writing it. :-)

Or copy it and run
pbpaste | base64 -D | plutil -p -
in the shell.
This gives an xml representation of what BibDesk stores.
BibDesk has an archive of entries typically stored at
~/Library/Caches/Metadata/edu.ucsd.cs.mmccrack.bibdesk/*.bdskcache
and the 'NS.data' element of Bdsk-File-1 seems to point to one element.
The *.bdskcache file has a bplist and I guess the 'FileAlias' component
is what points to the pdf or whatever.
The relevant source for the alias itself seems to be here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/bibdesk/svn/19370/tree//trunk/bibdesk/BDSKAlias.m
but I do not do objective C nor CoreFoundation.h, which I think is where
the alias stuff lives now.
I think it would be necessary for one to have a good handle on
the stuff in CoreFoundation.h to make sense of this.

One approach that sidesteps having to know the CoreFoundation.h stuff is

I think this is essentially what you described in your last email when you said, OTOH, writing an AppleScript to make an alias in a folder that is never moved, writing elisp to call that script and then make an org-mode link to the alias just created might work for you. I guess that is how it is done. I think I can figure out how to do this much in elisp + a system language. The elisp side will be a good learning project.

Re: [O] The Org Package
Thank you for this discussion, John, David and others. When installing a new distro, it sure seems wise to not include the Org options at Emacs install time (Ubuntu installers I use). And to set up the Org location and Git system soonest.
