[O] Bug: clock in generates bad drawer [8.3.4 (8.3.4-47-gaf853d-elpa @ /home/carlos/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20160502/)]

[Carlos Noguera]

When clocking in under a headline that already has clock entries, the
entries are not correclty bundled in a drawer, generating a: (I removed
the bytecode because gmail didn't like it)

Anything new about this problem?  I also experience the bug, it's still
present and I have to remove the given line on any Org update. :-(

I decided to try to get this working for what I needed, and I was able to do it:

It just does one thing, but I like the way it works.

[O] sparse tree search still hides matching drawers (bug?)

[Samuel Wales]

in maint, i wanted to show categories, so i did c-c / / for category.

the properties drawers stayed closed.  shouldn't they show matches?

also, is it possible to make it so that if you provide an uppercased
search string, only uppercase strings will be matched?  this is how
isearch works for me.

(setq org-show-context-detail
  '(
;; sparse tree regexp c-c / /
(occur-tree . minimal)
;; sparse tree tags c-c / m
(tags-tree . minimal)
;; everything else should always be canonical
(default . canonical)))


thanks.

[O] pomodoro: how do you manage internal/external interruptions ?

[Xavier Maillard]

Hello,

I am trying to learn the pomodoro technic in order to apply it for myself.
I see there is org-pomodoro but as far as I know, it just trigger clock-in and
rest time.

How do you manage the whole picture: Today sheet, interruptions, Urgent &
unplanned, etc.

Xavier

[O] how to org-refile to a target within the current file?

[Peter Salazar]

Hello, I use org-refile quite a bit, but for my use-case, I want to refile
my org-mode subtrees not to an org-agenda file, but to the current file or
another file I'm currently visiting.

I had a way of doing this that was working correctly, but now has stopped
working. I'm not sure what I changed that broke it.

Here's the code I'm using for org-refile:

(setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil) ; Refile in a single go
(setq org-completion-use-ido nil)
(setq org-refile-use-outline-path t) ; Show full paths for refiling
(setq org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes (quote confirm)) ; allow
refile to create parent tasks with confirmation

(defun my-org-files-list ()
 (mapcar (lambda (buffer)
   (buffer-file-name buffer))
   (org-buffer-list 'files t)))

(setq org-refile-targets '((my-org-files-list :maxlevel . 3)))

Again, this used to work. But now when I run org-refile, I get this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  get-file-buffer(nil)
  org-find-base-buffer-visiting(nil)
  org-get-agenda-file-buffer(nil)
  org-refile-get-targets(nil (#("this" 0 4 (fontified t face org-level-1
  org-refile-get-location("Refile subtree \"this\" to" nil confirm nil)
  org-refile(nil)
  call-interactively(org-refile record nil)
  command-execute(org-refile record)
  execute-extended-command(nil "org-refile")
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)
  command-execute(execute-extended-command)

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

Re: [O] R source block :session errors, perhaps due to recent ESS change

[William Denton]

Thanks.  The issue is fixed now, so Org R users can upgrade ESS without fear. 
It seems there's something in ESS that they didn't know anything relied on, but 
it turns out Org does.

[O] R: Re: tabularx from org to latex not recognized

[vendo.li...@libero.it]

Hello again, 

Yes, finally! I placed #+ATTR_LATEX line just before the table, saved the doc, 
exported to pdf and it worked. The table is nice and tidy, not jumbled up as 
earlier. Thank you for taking the time to fix this problem of mine. 

One last question. I read the "Affiliated Keywords" link you posted, it says 
“#+ATTR_BACKEND: VALUE” can appear more than once. Say I have 3 tables, in 
pages 1, 3 and 4 of my final document, does that mean I must place it before 
every table? 

Thank you again for your patience and help.

I checked, so now I'm sure :-) - see the org-syntax document on Worg,
section "Affiliated Keywords"
(http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html#Affiliated_keywords):

,
| Affiliated Keywords
| 
| With the exception of inlinetasks, items, planning, clocks, node
| properties and table rows, every other element type can be assigned
| attributes.
| 
| This is done by adding specific keywords, named “affiliated keywords”,
| just above the element considered, no blank line allowed.
| 
| Affiliated keywords are built upon one of the following patterns:
| “#+KEY: VALUE”, “#+KEY[OPTIONAL]: VALUE” or “#+ATTR_BACKEND: VALUE”.

[O] Search current branch for custom export

[Sander Boer]

Hi all,

I use orgmode to org my projects and I would like to add invoices to the mix.
These invoices would be the conclusion to a task in a hierarchy like so:

*project
** task
*** invoice

I know how to export a subtree and get a latex invoiceboht of it, but I am 
still searching for a decent way to add client data.
I am looking into two solutions:
1. Org-contacts [b/c mu4e]
  - How do I read address and other generic data from org-contacts ?
  - How do I store a link to the address and follow it in the export ?
2. Define client data in the root or a dedicated branch.
  - how do I search the current branch ? Go back up to root, crawl downwards?
  - any insight on a good way to store client data ? Org-contacts uses property 
drawers, why not branches with dedicated headlines ?

Any and all tips are greatly appreciated.

Gr
Sanderh
