Yeah, that's basically what tree-to-indirect does, it makes an indirect
buffer and then narrows it.  So you can widen the indirect buffer and get
another view of the whole buffer.  

I also use this advice to rename the indirect buffer to the name of the
heading, that way you don't end up with "file.org<1>"-style buffers:

(defun ap/org-rename-tree-to-indirect-buffer ( args)
"Rename the new buffer to the current org heading after using
org-tree-to-indirect-buffer."
(with-current-buffer (car (buffer-list (car (frame-list
  (save-excursion
(let* ((heading (nth 4 (org-heading-components)))
   (name (if (string-match org-bracket-link-regexp heading)
 ;; Heading is an org link; use link name
 ;; TODO: but what if only part of the heading is?
 (match-string 3 heading)
   ;; Not a link; use whole heading
   heading)))
  (rename-buffer name) t
  (advice-add 'org-tree-to-indirect-buffer :after
'ap/org-rename-tree-to-indirect-buffer)

[O] bug: cannot refile x to x, or go to x, where headers have the same name

[Samuel Wales]

i often refile a header to a target that has the same name as the
source.  they are different headers, but they have the same name.

my goal is to send x(1) to x(2) so that the olpath looks like
x(2)/x(1).  this to me is totally legitimate.  i often have headers
with the same name, for various reasons.

but org-refile removes the /source/ header name from the list of
/target/ candidates.  perhaps the intention was to prevent refiling
something to itself.  did that cause problems?

but i am not refiling something to itself.  they just have the same
name.  they are different headers.

furthermore, the same bug occurs with refile goto.

i can work around this by adding random text to the source header, or
moving point for goto, but i'd rather not have to.

can this interlock ve disabled or modified to allow different headers
with the same name?

thanks.

I have been using recutils with orgmode for more than year - still 
learning of course. So far, my experience has been fine. I am still 
developing some sort of standard databases, e.g. one for contacts, 
another for finance type of records, etc.


Have you checked out the two recutils mailing lists? Not very active at 
the moment. I mentioned in those lists that perhaps some sort of capture 
much like org-capture might be useful, but have made no further effort 
in that regards.


I picked up a excellent pointers as to using recutils to create org-mode 
tables from Jose Marchesi's and Eric Shulte's ob-rec.el discussion on 
this list back in 2011. I ultimately export the tables and related text 
to LaTeXpdf docs.


A few months ago I added recutils or "rec" to the Babel:languages, Emacs 
Package section - still haven't provided an example though. (It may have 
been Eric who encouraged me to post my entry to Worg, but at the moment 
I cannot recall for sure.)

Can you be more specific?

Org tables? They can be joined...

Org supports SQLite 
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-sqlite.html
http://howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/literate-database.html

And many use Org PROPERTY drawers as a database (for example, the address book 
support/examples).

  -k.

thanks for the report. I think I have fixed it in a recent push.

[O] isbn-to-bibtex (from org-ref) fails

I've just tried isbn-to-bibtex with the isbn entry "0201500647" (Feynman

--8<---cut here---start->8---

However, isbn-to-bibtex-lead gets me to the right page with a bibtex

Re: [O] org-ref, abstracts

[John Kitchin]

I think thats what I mean.

org-ref-arxiv hasn't been changed for at least two months I think.

and the abstract is listed in the template here:
https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/blob/2a8635d4662fbe77f43731edeac1b4ec1112d233/org-ref-arxiv.el#L103

Do you mean you didn't add this functionnality recently and it's been
here all along ?

I didn't knew it, thank you. :)
Also less known that it deserves, for focusing I do use narrowing a lot:

C-x n s (org-narrow-to-subtree)
Narrow buffer to current subtree. 

C-x n w (widen)
Widen buffer to remove narrowing.

(more in http://orgmode.org/manual/Structure-editing.html)

Thanks again. :)
Best...
