Re: ox-rst still working?

[Angel de Vicente]

Hello,

just realized that it is ok if I open the file ox-rst.el and evaluate
the hole buffer.

I do have

(require 'ox-rst)

in my .emacs file and I have evaluated that a number of times, but for
some reason the rst backend is only registered with the Org dispatch
when evaluating the ox-rst.el buffer itself.

Any idea why this could be?
Thanks,

Ah, ok. No, I don't have org-ref installed.

Not sure what to make out of this. I guess this is the problem in my
side, but how do you use the ox-rst menu then (or you don't use the
dispatcher menu and invoke directly the rst export command?)

ox-rst still working?

[Angel de Vicente]

Hello,

I was trying to export an .org file to .rst. I have ox-rst 20200815.1511
installed, and I have run (require 'ox-rst), but despite this, there is
no option for rsT in the Org Export Dispatcher. Did I miss something to
make it work?

Emacs version: 28.2
Orgmode verion: 9.1.3

Compact schedule in agenda day view

[Angel de Vicente]

Hello,

I was too quick on the keyboard and I pressed some magic key combination
and now my schedule for today shows in a compact way (only showing the
appointments). I actually prefer the "expanded" way, in which I get a
grid for the whole day (so it easier for me to quickly see if an
appointment is in the morning or the afternoon, etc.).

The problem: I don't know how to go back, and I'm not sure how this
feature is called, so I was not successful searching for it in the
manual.

Anybody knows off the top of your head how to toggle this?

Many thanks,

Fantastic. It does work now beautifully.

[I was about to tell you that it was still not working, because I was
still trying with the following TODO item:

,
| ** TODO test   :personal:
| 
|:PROPERTIES:
|:SHOWFROMDATE: 2022-10-16
|:END:
`

and then I realized that the empty line before :PROPERTIES: was breaking
it. With no empty line it works fine (I should've used
org-command-set-SHOWFROMDATE-property from the beginning, which sets the
PROPERTIES in the right format).

,
| ** TODO test   :personal:
|:PROPERTIES:
|:SHOWFROMDATE: 2022-10-16
|:END:
`

Many thanks for your help. My TODO list is going to become a lot cleaner
from now!

Habit tracking (add "DONE" state with configurable date/time)

[Angel de Vicente]

Hello,

I'm lately finding myself in this situation: I have a number of habits
that I track, and I want to mark one of them to "DONE", but registering
not the date when I change its state, but some other date/time (this
usually happens, for example, with my "sports" habit, which I do late at
night, so it is only next day when I turn on the computer that I can
change its state, but I want to register the state change date/time as
that of the previous day).

I thought that `C-u C-c C-t' might do this, but that apparently lets me
change the state but not the date.

Any ideas? Thanks

thanks. I tried, but that doesn't seem to be what I was looking for (or
perhaps I missed something). In my case I have many TODO items without a
date, and I don't want to assign a specific date to them. I simply want
that they are hidden from the Global TODO list until a specific date.

[I can assign a date to them, but then it will look like I have to do
them on that date. Ideally I would like them to be without a date, so
they don't show up in the agenda, only in the global TODO list, but have
a field =skip_until= or similar, so they will be hidden until then]

basic here?

Thanks for the pointer, but maybe I use SCHEDULED items a bit different,
since I want only a few items in my agenda view, only those that I
really intend to start working on the given date.

As per the example I was giving, I don't want that entry to be scheduled
for October 16 (and thus clutter my agenda view), I just want it to be
visible in my Global TODO list from that date, so then, depending on how
busy I'm around that date, then I can decide when to schedule it for.

I hope it makes sense (and there is some way to accomplish it).

Do not show a TODO item in the global TODO list until certain date?

[Angel de Vicente]

Hello,

I'm wondering if it is possible to have a TODO item, but to not show it
in the global TODO list until certain date?

For example: I need to get a new insurance for my motor bike, but
insurance companies will not give me a quote until October 16, so I
would like to create a TODO entry (not a scheduled one, since I don't
need to do it on a particular date), but to hide it from view until
October 16, since there is no point on trying to do it before that, and
it clutters my TODO list.

I checked the Org manual and didn't see anything obvious, but maybe
there is some way?

provided a possible fix
(https://github.com/alphapapa/org-super-agenda/pull/221), which has not

but in my case it looks like it is working just fine, so I'll risk it

Maybe the best is an image... If you look at
https://github.com/alphapapa/org-super-agenda/blob/master/images/screenshots/index.org,
you can see that the TODO items for a given date in the agenda are
neatly organized by using org-super-agenda into user-defined groups
(Important, Personal, etc.).

I got this working fine, but then I have a long list of TODO items with
no scheduled date. I was hoping that org-super-agenda would also work on
those items, so that similar grouping would be applied to them, but I
don't know if this is not possible or I'm missing something.

As an example, my agenda now looks like the following, where the
grouping is not applied to the Global list of TODO items (which I would
like):

org-super-agenda global list of TODO items

[Angel de Vicente]

Hello,

I just learnt about org-super-agenda today and it looks brilliant to
keep my agenda a bit better organized. But I tend to use the "C-c a h"
to view the daily agenda and the tasks. I managed to organize my todo
items in the daily agenda view without issues, but I'm not sure what I
have to do to organize the items in the "Global list of TODO items". Is
this possible? Any examples to point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,

I tried (briefly :-)) to look for some place where org-cyclic and
org-block are documented, but failed. But I tried, and they do work
nicely. So they always assume 'iso' style regardless of the value of
'calendar-date-style'?

Timestamp with repeater interval AND END DATE?

[Angel de Vicente]

Hello,

I have plenty of timestamps with a repeater interval
(https://orgmode.org/manual/Timestamps.html), but on reading the manual
I couldn't find how to specify an END DATE, so for example, "prepare
homework for students" gets repeated every week, but not beyond June
(the last month of the school year here). Did I miss something in the
manual?

Thanks,

Re: [O] Is it possible to sort checkboxes?

[Angel de Vicente]

Hi,

never mind. As so many other times (blush) I figured out the answer
right after posting the question. I was trying with a test file like the
following and with the org-sort (C-c ^) command. I assumed I had to
issue the command in the TODO line, which tells me there is "Nothing to
sort". Actually it looks like I can do it in any of the Task lines and
it works exactly as I wanted.

Orgmode to rule the world! :-)

,
| * Test
| 
| ** TODO Work on item 1 [2/12]
|   + [ ] Task a
|   + [ ] Task b
|   + [ ] Task c

[O] Is it possible to sort checkboxes?

[Angel de Vicente]

Hi,

lately I'm using checkboxes a lot. They are fine, but I tend to have items
with many checkboxes in them. As I work on an item I check some of them
as done C-c C-c, but since I have many checkboxes and I don't always
work in them in order, I end up having many checkboxes around, some
checked as done, some unchecked.

What I'm trying to find is a way to automatically move a checkbox to the
bottom of the list when I check it, so that all unchecked items are at
the beginning and all the checked ones at the end. Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Thanks for the suggestion, but this won't be considered a TO DO item by
org, so not what I'm looking for (I won't be able, for example, to
assign priorities, or look for TO DO only in this buffer, record the
date automatically when closing the TO DO item, etc.). For the moment
I'll stick with the org-inlinetask approach.

Thanks Georgiy and Marco.

I just put (require 'org-inlinetask) in my .emacs file and the mentioned
function and keybinding are available. It is not particularly pretty how
inline tasks show in the file, but it is a solution.

[O] Is it possible for a TODO item not to be an outline item?

[Angel de Vicente]

Hi,

I'm starting to use org for notes, and I realize that I don't know how
to create a TODO item but without it being an outline item. Sorry if
this is not the proper terminology. Let me explain what I would like to
have. Let's say I have a file where I want to keep details about a new machine
installation. I would have something like:

,
| * Installation of PC X
| 
| ** Hardware configuration
| blah,blah,blah,
| 
| ** Software configuration
| I intall app x, no trouble
|
| I try to install app y, but no luck
| *** TODO App Y is giving trouble, fix
| 
| I install app z, no trouble 
`

For the "software configuration" I just type notes of what I'm doing,
and I would like to have TODO items for unfinished tasks.

If I write something like above when I collapse the TODO item, all the
information about the app Z collapses with it. I know that I could
create another outline level for each of the apps (or at least for "app
y" and "app z"), but that will force me to create extra levels whenever
I want to insert a TODO item in the middle of a section.

So basically I would like to have that TODO item but somehow without
creating a new section. Is it possible?

Thanks,

 Dunno if it will fix all of your problem, but you should use

Well I use #+label and I see no problem, but that didn't solve the

   (cond ((and imgp)

The funny thing is that I don't think I ever changed the

wouldn't now how to do it from inside the .org file and previously I

In any case, can anybody tell me how I set the inline-images property in

Re: [O] Examples of orgmode+beamer presentations?

[Angel de Vicente]

Hi,

thanks everybody for the tips and suggestions. In the end, I mostly
googled around, took what I liked from here and there, and ended up with
something good enough for the time being (later on I will tweak it
again, mainly for the greying-out of images, which I didn't do it right
now, but should be easy replicating frames).

In case it can be useful to someone else, I put the example here:
http://angel-de-vicente.blogspot.com.es/2013/04/presentations-with-org-mode-beamer.html

(in Linux to view the embedded video you need Acroread 9.4.1 or later
(or so I think). In Windows or Mac, I have no idea if the embedded video
will work.

[O] Examples of orgmode+beamer presentations?

Hi,

I'm trying to find examples of presentations made with orgmode and
beamer. Ideally I would like to see sample presentations first (in PDF),
so that I can get one that looks as close to what I would need, and then
I would like to get the source code for it. Are there any good templates
out there? (Something similar to

Is there anything out there?

Perhaps you are trying a TODO heading that doesn't have one of the
progress indicators? 

I have just tried it, and with TODOs headings as follows works OK. If
you don't put the progress indicators then it doesn't work, since the
function is looking for the 100% text or for n/n (which indicates that
you have completed all the tasks).

* TODO try [%]

* TODO try [/]

Actually, I wonder why this is not the default behaviour. It looks
natural that if a task is made of checkboxes and you complete all of
them the task should be DONE.

[Angel de Vicente]

Hi,

Jambunathan K kjambunat...@gmail.com writes:

 In your .emacs file, *just before* package-initialize add this and
 restart Emacs.

 (when (featurep 'org)
   (error Some mysterious force has already loaded org. Investigate why
   this is so.))

Yes, there were mysterious forces... :-)

As I recall it I had two problems in my .emacs file:

1) a line:

(find-file ~/org/MAIN.org)

2) and 
;; Remember-Mode
(org-remember-insinuate)
(setq org-directory /home/angelv/org/)
(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory /notes.org))
(define-key global-map \C-cr 'org-remember)

Those were forcing the bundled org version to load.

Issue solved by:

* Moving line in 1) right after the (package-initialize) right at the
bottom of my .emacs

* Getting rid of lines in 2) and substituting them by:
(setq org-directory /home/angelv/org/)
(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory notes.org))
(define-key global-map \C-cc 'org-capture)

* Putting out of the way the directory where the bundled ORG was
  (probably not needed, but for extra peace of mind)


BUT, I still could not capture anything with C-cc, and I got an error
about org-called-interactively-p not being valid/defined.. (don't
remember now). It looks like the new org was byte-compiled when the old
org was active and there were some issues in there. Deleting all the
.elc files, making sure that only the new org was active and then
byte-compiling the .el files again did the trick.

[O] org-version reported as 6.33x after upgrading to the latest and greatest with Emacs' Package Manager

[Angel de Vicente]

Hi,

I'm running Emacs 23.2.1 (bundled with Ubuntu 11.04), and until now I
was running the org-mode package that came with it (6.33x). Today I
decided to update to the latest org version, and I followed the
instructions at http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#installing-via-elpa

When I do M-x locate-library RET org I get:
Library is file ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20120129/org.elc

which looks good, but if I do M-x org-version I get:
Org-mode version 6.33x

In my .emacs file I have 
;; Org-mode
;;
(require 'org-install)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(\\.org$ . org-mode))
(define-key global-map \C-cl 'org-store-link)
(define-key global-map \C-ca 'org-agenda)
(define-key global-map \C-cb 'org-iswitchb)
(global-font-lock-mode 1)
(setq org-log-done t)

and at the end of the file

(setq load-path (cons ~/Emacs-custom load-path))
(require 'package)
(package-initialize)

Did I miss something else that I should do? I was planning on getting
rid of the version that comes with Emacs, but I thought I should ask
first...
