Fwd: [Orgmode] Timezone issue with zip distribution
2009/2/9 Manish : > Out of curiousity, what time-zones are you and David in? I'm in GMT. I've just checked the 6.21b release and the time is 21:43 in the zip and 20:43 in tgz. It only causes a problem when I try to install a release less than an hour after it was created. That'll teach me to be keen;-) David ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
Re: [Orgmode] Beginners guide to Org customization
Carsten, I can see that org-clock-persistence-insinuate appeared in 6.11 but I can't find it in the manual. Does it need to be added?

[Orgmode] Timezone issue with zip distribution
Hi list, The last few zip file distributions I have downloaded (6.20 and 6.20g) seem to have many of the file modification times one hour in the future. This seems to break the make (it says something about the file being modified in the future and then gets rather confused;-). The tgz distribution is fine. I know its not a big deal - I can just wait an hour before running the make, or I can use the tgz distribution (and fix the ^Ms in the info file manually as I'm on windows) - but I thought I'd report it just in case. BTW, thanks Carsten and all on the list for all your effort: I have been incredibly impressed by the overall quality of org-mode and the speed of response to issues since I defected from planner last summer.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Org-Mode in Windows
Bailey, I'm surprised you are seeing c:/emacs/bin as your home directory - perhaps its a peculiarity of the official GNU release. `C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data' is the default on XP I believe. Personally, I like the EmacsW32 release (http:// ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html). It is customized to work well with windows and includes a more up-to-date version of org-mode by default. The file is called '.emacs' - no extension. You can create it if it doesn't exist by typing 'C-x C-f ~/.emacs '. It might also be worth looking up the Windows section in the emacs manual (see 'Read the Emacs Manual' on the help menu).

I also attach the file list of the whole emacs subdirectory (I downloaded it again just to be sure). Is the .emacs file a file with name ".emacs" with no extension? or is emacs the extension with no filename? Can I create my own emacs? I did and put it in c:/emacs and c:/ emacs/bin but seems like no effect... i.e. When org file opened, its not in org-mode. Where can I download the .emacs file?

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Org-Mode in Windows
Bailey, I think the first thing you need to do is find your .emacs: start emacs and type Ctrl-x Ctrl-f, make sure it says something like 'Find file: ~/' at the bottom of the screen and press enter. A 'dired' buffer should open up in which you should see your .emacs file (if you want to put it in a different directory, you can set the HOME environment variable). Next, you need to open the file and follow the instructions in http:// orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation to set the load- path to the new version of org-mode and require org-install (don't worry about the make commands: you will need to install cygwin or something like it to get that working). You may need to get rid of the old version of org-mode before it will pick up the new one. If so, you can open the old file by typing Alt- x find-library, press enter, type 'org' and press enter again. Then type Ctrl-x Ctrl-f and press enter to find its location. Delete the file (after backing it up somewhere of course) and restart emacs.

And so far am happy with it except for some things that's not working as expected. I am using Windows XP and have downloaded the latest release version for emacs (22.3.1) and org-mode (6.18c). But when I type M- x org-version 5.23a. * Org-Mode does not start by itself when emacs is started - I always have to type "ALT-X org-mode" (in your book convention: M- x) or put on each file "MY PROJECTS-*- mode: org; -*-" * Agenda view does not come out with the shortcut C-c a - I always have to use the mouse and org->agenda command -> t * I want my default org file to open when I start emacs or org- mode but don't know how to do this. I always have to browse to the correct directory and open the file. * Other things but I think should be resolved if those above can work. I consider myself competent with computers and normally can easily make things work with reading documentation and searching through newsgroups, web. But this is taking a bit too long. Some info and Things I have done to try to resolve it: * I placed emacs in directory c:/emacs, downloaded 6.18c orgmode file to c:/emacs/org * I am logged in with admin rights on Windows * I have added the path to emacs in environment variables. C:/ emacs/bin * I have watched your video at google 3 times, gone through the manual particularly installation and activation parts, searched the newsgroups and google searched whatever I can... * I can't find any file named emacs or *.emacs so I created ".emacs" file and placed it in c:/emacs - I attach my emacs file. * Make command from the installation manual does not work (even inside emacs Tools-> Make) - I attach my makefile which I have edited based on the installation manual. But, I still can't get things to work properly. I hope that you can help. Thank you for a great software!

Re: [Orgmode] Windows and emacs
Ray, I'd agree with Mike and Scot's recommendation to use EmacsW32 for all the reasons they mentioned. I'd also recommend downloading cygwin. Current versions of EmacsW32 pick up the cygwin installation pretty easily and you really need it for command line tools like grep, ftp (for tramp) and git (for org-mode versioning); not to mention the command line itself. I've been using this setup for 3 or 4 years on various corporate laptops and it works very well.

As far as I know there are at least two ways to get emacs running; one is to simply download emacs, two is downloading cygwin; if it is cygwin that I have to go with then which emacs? If I saw it right there are several choices ... ummm ... any hints on that? Thanx in advance ray ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] org files and directory hierarchies
On 8 Ion 2009, at 17:07, Matthew Lundin wrote: One caveat. Org attach doesn't work in quite this way. The data directory hierarchy isn't really human readable (i.e., it doesn't mirror the org outline hierarchy). But that would be a nightmare to make work, I imagine, because of constant changes to the org outline structure. Rather, directories containing files are attached to outline headings via automatically generated IDs. Well, why not allow the user to choose a directory, there's no real reason why the directory structure has to match the org file? I started using attachments when the feature came out and really liked them, especially the simple interface for choosing a file to attach (even better with ido). But after a while, I found the fact that I could only reasonably get to attachments through the org file difficult to work with - what happens when I've finished a task and archived it off? I've got to go hunting through the archive file to find the old task before I can find the attachments. So I stopped using them and decided I'd use normal hyperlinks instead. But then I found out just how awkward is is to have to either cut-and-paste the directory path or type it in manually whenever I want to link to a file.
