[O] creating a link to an html file under msys2 (windows path issue)
Hi everyone. I'm trying to create a link to my emacs org-mode manual on my desktop at c:\Users\Kevin\Desktop\org.html in one of my org-mode files and I can't for the life of me figure out what the path is supposed to be. Under msys2 it should be something like: /c/users/kevin/desktop/org.html I'm using the emacs that is installed with msys2 (and often I see it putting a "c:" in front of the path but that doesn't seem to work here). I've tried it with a leading c:, with single backslashes between the components, with double backslashes, etc... Anyone have a clue? TIA, -Kevin
[O] Bug: wrong image orientation [9.2.4 (9.2.4-11-g1c3eae-elpa @ /home/lord/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20190722/)]
When I insert images some of them are shown with wrong
orientation. Desktop image viewe shows them correctly. Apparently
org-mode image display ignores orientation info from image:
$ identify -format '%wx%h' ./2019-07-24\ 11.07.52.jpg
4032x3024⏎
$ identify -format '%[EXIF:Orientation]' ./2019-07-24\

[O] Convenient access to attachment directory
Hi, I miss a key to just open the attachment directory even if that directory does not exist yet. Has this functionality been there once? BTW "f" complains if the directory does not exist. What about introducing a new key "g" to open the attachment directory and create it in case it does not already exist? What do you think? Thanks and ciao, Marco

As soon as you want this type of control, you'll end up having to design
your own beamer theme. There are many themes out there: I suggest you
have a look at which one(s) come(s) close to what you want, copy it, and
change it accordingly. But this will require a certain level of
LaTeX-fu unfortunately.
I've attached three files: an org file, the resulting PDF, and a very
minimal beamer theme that may be of use. That theme puts an image (UCL
logo) at the bottom right of the slide and a page number at the bottom
left side. Maybe you can modify this to your satisfaction. Note the
naming of the beamer theme file and how you refer to it in the org file.
> 2) I usually provide two sets of slides, one dark and one light
Two themes...?

For me, they are equivalent in any case: I do not like word processors
as they make me do the job of a typesetter and I'd rather worry about
content. But I know what you mean.
Best of luck,
eric

Thanks all for the quick replies!

Yes, this is what I'm doing so far. The problems I see are:
1) the image contains a footer, and LaTeX does not anything about such
footer so sometimes text can overlap with the footer. If I isolate the
footer as a separate image, how can I specify to place it to the
bottom of each slide and have beamer not placing controls and other
text on the slides?
2) I usually provide two sets of slides, one dark and one light
(printable), and therefore I suspect to provide two different
backgrounds and duplicate my org file for each theming accordingly.
Any better idea? If I can isolate the footer (which is what makes the
slides look like what is requested), is there a way to apply say a
color as background and do a "variable"-based export to beamer
choosing the color as option?
By the way, things were even worst of how I described them: the
template was Microsoft Office (not even Open Office)!
Thanks,
Luca

How annoying! But I've had the same and ended up doing what Marcin (in
another response) did: created my own beamer template that matched what
our corporate style people wanted...

This should be easier. The following is untested but putting a line
like this at the start of your org file may do the job:
#+latex_header:
\usebackgroundtemplate{\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{}}
Try this out and let us know how you get on. Happy to help if you get
stuck.

[O] from org to openoffice presentations (or make org looks like openoffice)
Hi, it seems I'm out of luck searching for a solution: I've got a library of org-mode files that I export with beamer. So far, so good. But know I'm forced by my management to apply an openoffice slide layout, so I was looking for a way to export from org to open office presentations (impress). It seems nothing so weird exists on earth. My second thought was to put the template as a background image on all my slides, but this is a little complicated considered my knowledge of LaTeX and beamer (and that's why I'm using org!). Assuming none of the above two can be answered, is there a path to get things done? Like converting from org to markdown and then to open office? Anyone has a suggestion or an hint? (and no, I don't want to rewrite my slides in open office because they will become quickly unmantainable!). Thanks, Luca
