[O] Org-mac-link misplaced quotes?
I regularly use org-mac-link from contrib/. It works fine, but somehow my links are a bit mangled, I get: [["http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#sec-4][How to contribute to Org?"]] Instead of: [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#sec-4][How to contribute to Org?]] (Notice the quotation-marks, it's how applescript returns the string) This small patch fixes that. I hope the patch is done correctly. 0001-org-as-mac-chrome-get-frontmost-url-fix-to-remove-un.patch Description: Binary data

The starter-kit uses org-babel to create the lisp files Emacs needs. To solve this, I added org-mode-from-git's load-path to init.el, before require org. After that things worked for me. The down-side is that your init.el is no longer the same as the starter-kit's, which makes upgrading a bit harder. Alex [1] I use prelude, but use org-babel for my private settings, like the starter-kit does

In the old days lines used to be underlined, nowadays it is considered a bit
dated, but an underlined item in a sentence is generally understood to be a
link.
A good example is http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/html/elements/a
Which uses:
a { text-decoration: underline }
and for external links:
a.external {
padding-right: 15px;
margin-right: 5px;
background-image: url(skins/webplatform/images/link-external.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right 3px;
}
Design as this won't do on behance or dribble, but worg is primarily for
documentation. Usability and readability should trump superficial aesthetics in
a case like this.
Re: [O] Active timestamp drawer with inactive creation-date
Thank you all! (setq org-expiry-inactive-timestamps t) was the key. I will do some more reading this weekend, but for now everything works as expected (again).

[O] Active timestamp drawer with inactive creation-date
Hi! I actively use timestamps to plan my day. When I have a task, I add a time-stamp to it with "C-." Then I plan the task, for example, for tomorrow. I end up with: ** important task <2013-03-13 Wed> :PROPERTIES: :CREATED: <2013-03-12 Tue 13:52> :END: The property drawer has an active time-stamp, which in turn appears in my agenda. What I want to end up is, an inactive time-stamp in the drawer: ** important task <2013-03-13 Wed> :PROPERTIES: :CREATED: [2013-03-12 Tue 13:52] :END: At the moment I change it by hand, but laziness is the key to progress, so: how do I do this? Thanks, Alex

As far as I can see, that is actually what the doc says: Save the file (*C-x s*) as 2.org, and you will notice that the colors change, syntax highlighting is turned on, and Emacs understands you are working in org-mode. but if it is not clear, let me know what paragraph you are refering to. > > Thanks again for all the work you've put into this. > > Best, > Matt > and thank you for your remarks! alex ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Hello, playing around with mac integration and org (using org-mac-protocol) I wrote mac address-book integration. It is slightly based on org-mac-message. It is the first ever lisp and/or applescript I ever wrote, so … but it works. New hyperlink: [[address:BC70B043-0144-4AC1-9FFA-9D33F04C8B8A:ABPerson][Name]], which, when clicked will open the entry in the address book. It works for both persons as companies. Adding a link to org is done using org-remember (and quicksilver). thanks, Alex Attached: a diff to getItemMetadata from org-mac-protocol, and a new file called org-mac-addressbook getItemMetadata.applescript.diff Description: Binary data org-mac-addressbook.el Description: Binary data ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
