I have found no documentation on the "dotime" property, my understanding

org-super-agenda uses this property to determine if items are to appear

What is the definition of the dotime property?
Is there maybe another property or way to determine if entries should

DOTIME is an internal property storing arguments to
`org-ageda-format-item'.

Use 'time-of-day instead.


Thanks for advise! However, I was unable to get something else but nil 
for time-of-day for these entries:


* TODO dated and timed item

dotime property on non-dated item

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

Given a simple org file:

* TODO undated item

which is in org-agenda-files. Using "org-agenda t" and executing "C-x

log-done and org-after-todo-state-change-hook

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

I have an org-todo-keywords like "DONE(d!)" which logs a time stamp 
everytime that todo is reached.


I also use org-after-todo-state-change-hook to copy that node somewhere 
else, as soon as it is finished.


My problem now is that the logging seems to happen after hook, which 
made me end up with a original node:


DONE letzter note
:LOGBOOK:
- State "DONE"   from "TODO"   [2022-04-27 Mi 21:42]
:END:
[2022-04-27 Mi]


which is copied to

** DONE letzter note
[2022-04-27 Mi]

How can make the hook to be executed after the logging of done or some 
other way to have the log entry included in the copy?


Thanks!
Florian

invalid-function (date date) after update to 9.5

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

after the upgrade to 9.5 (9.5-g0a86ad @ /home/florian/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.5/) 
on 27.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.20, cairo version 
1.16.0) of 2020-09-19 my agenda stopped working

(org-agenda) -> any keyword (a, t or n) gives:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-function (date date))

what can be the problem here or where I can start looking?

I have seen the problem mentioned in

 but that basically says to reinstall. I deleted my elpa folder and 
reinstalled, but nothing changed.

org-timer-start at specified time stamp

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

frequently, when taking notes at a meeting with org-timer active, I happened to 
forget to start the timer at the beginning of the meeting:

* Meeting
Start: <2021-07-30 Fri 15:37>

- 0:00:05 :: started the timer to late
- 0:00:18 :: want to set zero to the time above 15:37
- 0:00:34 :: how do so?

The documentation of org-timer-start says:

> Set the starting time for the relative timer to now.
> When called with prefix argument OFFSET, prompt the user for an offset time,
> with the default taken from a timer stamp at point, if any.
> If OFFSET is a string or an integer, it is directly taken to be the offset
> without user interaction.

This is about a timer stamp, not a timestamp.  Of course, it's possible, but to 
get the offset, I need to compute the amount of time from timer start to 
meeting start.

> When called with a double prefix arg, all timer strings in the active
> region will be shifted by a specific amount.  You will be prompted for
> the amount, with the default to make the first timer string in
> the region 0:00:00.

My proposal is to enhance C-u org-timer-start to also determine if it is 
located at a timestamp and use that as zero time.

Furthermore C-u C-u org-timer-start also can accept a timestamp and shift the 
region as if the timer was started at that time.

All that requires to distinguish between a timestamp and a timestamp. For the 
first part, it is possible, as the timestamp includes a date, for the second 
part it's more hairy, as 15:37 could be a shift by 15m and 37s or the timestamp 
of 15:37 (3:37 pm).

Alternatively, a new function can be introduced that manipulated the the 
running timer accordingly.

What do you think about that proposal? I am happy to work on that myself, but 
probably need some assistance from you!

Best, Florian

Get list of top-level headings

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

I, an Emacs Lisp newbie, want to get a list of all top-level headings of the 
current buffer. My approach so far is:

(defun test-org-map()
  (interactive)
  (setq headings '())
  (org-map-entries (lambda ()
 (setq current-header-item (org-element-property :title 
(org-element-at-point))
 (message "Header: %s" current-header-item)
 (message "Is String: %s" (stringp (org-element-property 
:title (org-element-at-point
 (setq headings (append current-header-item headings))
 )
   "LEVEL=1"
   )
  (dolist (heading headings)
    (message "Header Item: %s" heading)
    )
  )

This gives the otput:

Header: AAA
Is String: t
Header: BBB
Is String: t
Header Item: 66 [3 times]
Header Item: 65 [3 times]

so basically the (org-element-property :title (org-element-at-point) does 
exactly what I want, but building the list does not what I want. I suppose that 
comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of how strings work in elisp.

I would appreciate a short explanation (or pointers) why this does not work. 
And of course, I am very open to completely different, likely better, approches 
to that simply problem!

Thanks,
Florian

error "Can’t expand minibuffer to full frame"

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,
I try to configure my org mode (Org mode version  ( @ 
/lhome/lindnfl/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.4.4/)) to ask for a note and also for a 
specific property when moving a state to WAIT. For that I use

(setq
  org-todo-keywords '((sequence "NEXT" "TODO" "WAIT(w@)" "|" "DONE(d!)" 
"NODO(n@)"))
  org-log-into-drawer t
)

(defun flo/org-state-change()

    (org-set-property "DELEGATED_TO" (read-string "Delegate To: "

(setq org-after-todo-state-change-hook 'flo/org-state-change)


However, I suspect the state-change-hook and the note when leaving WAIT state 
conflict:

Error in post-command-hook (org-add-log-note): (error "Can’t expand minibuffer 
to full frame")

resulting in that I am only asked to set the property, note the note.

What can i do about it? I don't really care in which order I enter the two note

Templating of PDF export

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

I am collecting my cooking recipes in an org-mode file. While that
certainly works for, I would like to have a nice LaTeX export for
non-nerd mortals to look at. All recipes are in one file and each one
looks like:

* Pancakes
** Ingredients
+ 6 Eggs
+ 3 Apples
** Directions
Just do it!
** Source
My mother

Sometimes I take a photo of the meal and ATTACH it.

Most guides how to customize org export are about modifying the document
class and latex snippets there there. However, the basic association
with * Pancakes -> \section, ** Ingredients -> \subsection stays the same.

Is there something builtin org-mode which allows to use a templating
language that allows for a more freely combination of elements, similar
to Jinja or alike?

For example, I want to embed the attachment in the export, appropriately
scaled and nicely placed and have a line break after each recipe.

I know about org-chef, but AFAIK it's more about importing templates
from websites, not about a nice export.

Any ideas for that?

Thanks!
Florian

Bug: Display problem with certain links

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

the two links:

[[http://localhost/A-+-B][AAA]] [[http://localhost/A-+-B][BBB]]

are displayed in org mode as

AAA BBB>/a>

meaning the first AAA + whitespaces are strike-through and normal face,
and the BBB is correctly displayed as link. However, both work as links.

I noticed the problem with links from Atlassian Confluence.

[O] Show breadcrumbs of nodes in agenda

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

the agenda only shows the title of nodes, like:

capture:TODO Task 1

Often, I have a structure like

* Project A
** Task 1

then, I get no idea, from what project the task actually is.

Is there a way to also show the title of the parent in agenda buffer or even 
full breadcrumbs?

[O] [Bug] org-attach-set-directory

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

doing C-a s  on an entry with an existing attachement produces

make-directory: Die Datei existiert bereits: /home/florian/test/data/

(translation: File already exists)

Actually, I implemented this functionality with the help of Nicolas Goaziou, 
but it seems an org mode or emacs upgrade broke it.

I will try to debug that further, but right now, my time is very limited, only 
undershot by my elisp knowledge.

Maybe someone can more quickly fix that... ;-)

Hey,

I have attached a patch, based on the current git master. I'm not sure how the 
contribution process works. Do I need to
sign stuff such as copyright assignement? Do you use a Git webinterface, GitHub 
or Lab?

Writing a test for it is on my todo list.

Hey,

ok, found it there.

However, it seems that I don't need it anyways, since "When an absolute path is 
not specified for a target, it is taken as relative to ‘org-directory’."

So, I changed it to:

 ("j" "Journal" item
  (file+datetree "journal.org")
  "%?\n%i" :kill-buffer t)

which still gives the same error.

Sorry... what is still wrong there?

[O] Capture template stopped working: nil

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

since recently, one of my capture templates stopped working. Message is:

Template key:
org-capture: Capture template ‘j’: nil

and:

- %?

is added to journal.org. I have also tried some other template text like "foo" 
(without any keys), but the message is the same.

value of org-capture-templates is:

 (("t" "Todo" entry
  (file+headline "" "Tasks")
  "* TODO %?\n%t\n%i")
 ("q" "Question" entry
  (file+headline "" "Questions")
  "* %?\n%t\n%i")
 ("c" "Code Question" entry
  (file+headline "" "Code Questions")
  "* %?\n%t %F\n%i")
 ("j" "Journal" item
  (file+datetree
   (concat org-directory "/journal.org"))
  "%?\n%i" :kill-buffer t)
 ("m" "Mail" entry
  (file+headline "" "Mail")
  "* TODO %? %a\nSCHEDULED: %(org-insert-time-stamp (org-read-date nil t

 ("h" "CSC Todo" entry

  "* TODO %?\n%t\n%i"))


All templates are working just fine, only the Journal one not.

That I'm not so sure of. I try to get myself aquainted to ert, but my elisp

Do I understand correctly, that there is no test for any org-attach stuff so 
far? I've found lisp/test-org-attach-annex.el, but that's for git-annex
stuff.

What is the use of (and org-attach-allow-inheritance t)? Doesn't it always 
returns org-attach-allow-inheritance?
Anyways, I'm not really sure if I understand the doc of org-entry-get 
correctly. Does org-entry-get not automatically

Yes, of course.

Why that? Aren't old and new holding the appropriate dirs in that case and copy

Ok. I wasn't aware of the difference, since I have (fset 'yes-or-no-p 
'y-or-n-p) in my .emacs.

I took it from org-attach-delete-all. But you're delete-directory is probably 
better than a shell-command.

Latest version:

(defun flo/org-attach-move ( arg)
  "Move current attachements to another directory.
  When ARG is non-nil, reset attach directory.  Create directory if
  needed."
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((old (org-attach-dir))

 (let ((dir (read-directory-name

   (org-entry-put nil "ATTACH_DIR" dir)))
   (org-attach-dir t

Yeah, docstring is usually the last I add, since I should at least know what 
the function is supposed to do ;-)

What is the use of (and org-attach-allow-inheritance t)? Doesn't it always 
returns org-attach-allow-inheritance?
Anyways, I'm not really sure if I understand the doc of org-entry-get 
correctly. Does org-entry-get not automatically
take inheritance into account, based on the the per-entry or global setting?

Why that? Aren't old and new holding the appropriate dirs in that case and copy

Ok, my new version is here. It should be able to replace 
org-attach-set-directory

(defun flo/org-attach-move (prefix)
  "If PREFIX arg, reset attach directory, else set target directory."
  (interactive "p") ; Correct check for boolean prefix?

  (let ((old-attach-dir (org-attach-dir))
(new-attach-dir (if (eq prefix 1)
(let ((dir (org-entry-get nil "ATTACH_DIR")))
  (setq dir (read-directory-name "Attachment 
directory: " dir))
  (org-entry-put nil "ATTACH_DIR" dir)
  (org-attach-dir t)) ; Changes semantics
  (org-entry-delete nil "ATTACH_DIR")
  (org-attach-dir t

(message "old-attach-dir = %s" old-attach-dir)
(message "new-attach-dir = %s" new-attach-dir)
(unless (or (string= old-attach-dir new-attach-dir)
(not old-attach-dir))
  (when (y-or-n-p "Copy over attachments from old directory? ")
(copy-directory old-attach-dir new-attach-dir t nil t))
  (when (y-or-n-p (concat "Delete " old-attach-dir))
(shell-command (format "rm -fr %s" old-attach-dir))


Some questions about the code

* Is that the correct way to deal with a boolean prefix arg? I'm not interested 
in the value of the prefix arg, only if
it's given or not.

* The code changes the semantics of org-attach-set-directory, because it 
creates the newly set attach dir. IMHO this
makes more sense.

* It deletes only the first part of the dir, e.g. data/83/1234567, it only 
deletes the 1234567 dir, even if 83 is empty
afterwards. But I think that's ok.

Hey,

I hacked together some lines of lisp that should achieve that. It's my first 
non-trivial (from my point of trivialness)
piece of code. I'm open for any suggestions:

(defun flo/org-attach-move ()
  (interactive)
  (when (org-attach-dir)
(let ((target (read-string "Move attachments to: ")) ; read-directory-name 
here?
  (attach-dir (org-attach-dir)))

  (if (string= target "")
  (progn
(org-entry-delete nil "ATTACH_DIR")
(setq target (org-attach-dir t)))
(progn
  (org-entry-put nil "ATTACH_DIR" target)
  (make-directory target t))
)

  (unless (string= target attach-dir)

  )

[O] Moving and resetting attachments

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

two questions about moving attachments to org files:

C-c C-a a attaches a file and stores it under ./data/ID/...

Using C-c C-a s I can set another directory a attachment directory. Can I make 
org-mode move the content of the previous
directory to the new directory?

Can I "reset" the attachment directory, i.e. like C-c C-a s but :ATTACH_DIR: is 
deleted and the contents of the previous
directory are moved to ./data/ID?

Rationale:

I use org mode as a document management system. Create an entry Papers -> 
Interpolation -> ECCOMAS. I know create an
custom attachment directory ECCOMAS, next to the org file as long as I am 
working on that paper. When it's finished, I
want to move the contents of the ECCOMAS attachment directory to ./data/ID/.

Thanks,
Florian

Sure! My department uses a shared ownCloud calendar and I use org-caldav to 
sync.

https://github.com/dengste/org-caldav

configuration is simple:

(setq org-caldav-url 
"https://invalid.org/cloud/remote.php/dav/calendars/lindner;
  org-caldav-calendar-id "sgskalender"
  org-caldav-inbox "~/sgs.org"

[O] Set org-agenda-span per file

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

is it possible to set the number of days that are shown in the agenda, i.e.

I want to show two weeks of deadlines in my own org file, and just 4 days of 
appointments in the org file synced from
the department's calendar.

[O] Key bindings for org calendar selection

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

the usual emacs calendar (M-x calendar) can be controlled using these key 
bindings:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Calendar-Unit-Motion.html

But how can the calendar be controlled when invoked by org-mode, e.g. by C-c 
C-s to set a scheduled date on an entry?
The key bindings from standard calendar do not work, neither editing the mini 
buffer works out.

Thanks,

There is with-output-to-temp-buffer with redirects the output to a temp buffer 
that behaves like a help window and shows
that buffer Using this function however makes only sense, when org mode 
defaults to displaying the latex output in case
something goes wrong. Which, imo would be as sensible default too.

Changing that is also way beyond my elisp knowlege.

It would be much easier to close it quickly this way and it would be consistent 
with other buffers that serve the same
purpose, like the beforementioned Auctex output buffer.

For me, it would just the right thing.

Hey,

[O] Why is Org PDF LaTeX Output not readonly?

Hello,

is there any reason why the output buffer of org mode exporting to LaTeX is not

right expression, what I mean is that e.g. q calls quit-window and closes the 
window. This way it's done by Auctex.

Ok, thanks. I've set org-file-apps like that now

org-file-apps '((system . "xdg-open %s")
("\\.pdf\\'" . system)
(directory . system)
(auto-mode . emacs)))

and it seems to work.

[O] Default application for org-reveal

Hello,

the Org Attach dispatcher offers a key "f" to open the attachment directory not 
in Emacs.

(defun org-attach-reveal ( if-exists)

This will attempt to use an external program to show the directory."
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((attach-dir (org-attach-dir (not if-exists
(and attach-dir (org-open-file attach-dir

On my two systems this is the same a F, it opens in dired. xdg-open . uses 
dolphin to open inode/directory. How does Emacs/org determine which
application to use? How can I influence it?

#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:

Both PDFs are generated. But only the first one has the content I expect, the 
othe one is an empty plot (it's a plot,
yes, but empty axes.

When I copy these pieces of code into on .py file it works just great. To my 
understanding that just how session mode works.

What could be the problem here?

[O] How to add a label in LaTeX export

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

I have this org mode document:

#+BEGIN_SRC python :exports results :results file
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt, numpy as np
  x = np.linspace(-2, 2, 1000)
  plt.plot(x, np.exp(-np.power(4*x, 2)), label="shape-parameter=4")
  plt.plot(x, np.exp(-np.power(2*x, 2)), label="shape-parameter=2")
  for i in range(-6, 7): plt.axvline(1/6 * i, ymax = 0.1, ls = "-.", color="r")
  plt.grid()
  plt.legend()
  plt.savefig('rbf-gaussian-4.pdf')
  return "rbf-gaussian-4.pdf"
#+END_SRC

#+NAME: fig:GaussianExample
#+CAPTION: Gaussian Basis functions with vertex distances marked at $n \cdot 
\frac{1}{6}$.
#+RESULTS:
[[file:rbf-gaussian-4.pdf]]


which exports to:


\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{rbf-gaussian-4.pdf}
\caption{\label{fig:orgparagraph1}
Gaussian Basis functions with vertex distances marked at \(n \cdot 
\frac{1}{6}\).}
\end{figure}
\end{document}


The #+NAME which I expect to translate to a label is ignored. I also tried 
using #+LABEL or transposing NAME and caption
but same result.

What is wrong there?

Thanks,
Florian

Hey,

sorry for the late reply. I tried to reproduce the problem firstly using emacs 
-Q but it worked like that.

After some bisect debugging I found out that setting

(setq org-latex-pdf-process '("latexmk -f -pdf %f"))

triggered the error.

But the usual latex process also causes the error, but gives the error message

Processing LaTeX file ./test2.tex...
PDF file produced with errors.

and continues. You have no errors using that snippet? Can you compile ther 
resulting tex file using auctex or the
latexmk command above? And why does latexmk -f does not continue despite the 
error? That's what the -f option should do?
I want to use latexmk to include also bibtex generation.

Ok, after some debugging and bisecting my .emacs, org-export-preserve-breaks t 
seems to cause the faulty export.

Best,
Florian

An example without org-ref that produces this error:

#+BEGIN_SRC python :exports results :results file
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt, numpy as np
  x = np.linspace(-2, 2, 1000)
  plt.plot(x, np.exp(-np.power(4*x, 2)), label="shape-parameter=4")

#+END_SRC

[[file:rbf-gaussian-4.pdf]]
Some text


Gives, when compiled to latex gives also: There is no line here to end:

Of course, using NAME instead of CAPTION. But I just learned that CAPTION is 
just an obsolete alias for NAME.

This seems to work mostly, yes. Problem is, that org puts the label inside the 
caption:

\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{rbf-gaussian-4.pdf}
\caption{\label{fig:GaussianExample}Gaussian Basis functions with vertex 
distances marked at $n \cdot \frac{1}{6}$.}
\end{figure}

This way the label does not work, i.e. won't be found by ref links.

#+BEGIN_SRC python :exports results :results file
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt, numpy as np
  x = np.linspace(-2, 2, 1000)
  plt.plot(x, np.exp(-np.power(4*x, 2)), label="shape-parameter=4")
  for i in range(-4, 5): plt.axvline(1/6 * i, ymax = 0.1, ls = "-.", color="r")
  plt.grid()
  plt.savefig('rbf-gaussian-4.pdf')
  return "rbf-gaussian-4.pdf"
#+END_SRC

#+LABEL: fig:GaussianExample
#+CAPTION: Gaussian Basis functions with vertex distances marked at $n \cdot 
\frac{1}{6}$.
#+RESULTS:
[[file:rbf-gaussian-4.pdf]]


Using NAME instead of caption results in the same latex output.

Florian

[O] Add caption to babel-generated images

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

I have this code block:

#+BEGIN_SRC python :exports results :results file
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt, numpy as np
  x = np.linspace(-2, 2, 1000)
  plt.plot(x, np.exp(-np.power(4*x, 2)), label="shape-parameter=4")

  plt.grid()
  plt.savefig('rbf-gaussian-4.pdf')
  return "rbf-gaussian-4.pdf"
#+END_SRC

When exporting to latex it nicely compiles into 
\includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{rbf-gaussian-4.pdf}.

Now I want to have this \includegraphics in a figure environement including a 
label (to reference it) and a caption.

How can do this best?

[O] There is no line to end here at LaTeX org-ref export

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

I learn to use org-ref and try to export a simple document:

* Section
label:Testlabel Some citations cite:Bungartz2015 and cite:Torres2009 and a 
reference to a label ref:Testlabel

bibliographystyle:unsrt
[[bibliography:/home/florian/Mendeley/library.bib]]

This exports to:

\section{Section}
\label{sec-1}
\label{Testlabel} Some citations \cite{Bungartz2015} and \cite{Torres2009} and 
a reference to a label \ref{Testlabel} \\

\bibliographystyle{unsrt} \\
\bibliography{../../Mendeley/library} \\
% Emacs 24.5.1 (Org mode 8.2.10)
\end{document}

Compilation gives: LaTeX Error: There's no line here to end.

Removing the last two double slashes after \bibliography and \bibliographystyle 
fixes it.

In https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/issues/279 the author says it probably 
not related to org-ref, however I was
unable to reproduce it without it.

All I configured when it comes to org / latex is:

org-latex-packages-alist '(("" "listings") ("" "color"))
org-latex-pdf-process '("latexmk -f -pdf %f")
org-latex-table-caption-above nil

However, I was doing the compile manually, so pdf-process is irrelevant here.

Any ideas how to fix that?

Thanks!

Great, works:

:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_OPT: fragile
:END:

Just one more question, btw. When I used this property syntax:

#+PROPERTY: BEAMER_OPT fragile

The only difference is that this property would be inherited to children?

Works fine by setting:

[O] Adding [fragile] to a LaTeX Beamer slide

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

I try to put some source code, using the listings package in my slides:

** Source Code
#+BEGIN_LATEX
\begin{lstlisting}
for (int i = 1; i != 10; ++i) 
std::cout << i << ": hello, world!"
  << std::endl;
\end{lstlisting}
#+END_LATEX

Problem is, this, in contrast to

#+BEGIN_SRC c
foobar
#+END_SRC

does not add the fragile option the frame and therefore it does not compile.

I would prefer the latter option, but it renders to a verbatim environment, not 
a lstlisting.

How can I add a fragile option to the frame or make the BEGIN_src block use the 
lstlisting environment?

Thanks,
Florian

Nothing really, but when I use title:t, org mode sets a
\title{presentation} in the tex file which overwrites my own title. If
I set title:nil, it sets \title{} still overwriting my own title.

Ah, ok, I think I got using these settings now:

#+startup: beamer
#+LATEX_CLASS: beamer
#+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [presentation]
#+BEAMER_THEME: Boadilla
#+OPTIONS: H:2 num:t title:nil toc:nil

#+BEGIN_LATEX
\author[me]{me and the coauthors}
\title[short title]{long title \\ next line}
\subtitle{subtitle}
\institute[short institute]{long institute}
\maketitle
#+END_LATEX


As I said, all I want is to have a standard title page followed by a
toc, but I need to set also the short version of title, institute and
author.

Well it works, albeit not very elegant.

Best,
Florian

Ah, you were right. I used the builtin org version.

It works now, however, when I set the title:nil is does not produce a
title page at all.

#+BEGIN_LATEX
\maketitle
#+END_LATEX

inserts a title page, but after the table of contents.

Any way to work around that?

Neither that works for me

#+startup: beamer
#+LATEX_CLASS: beamer
#+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [presentation]
#+BEAMER_THEME: Boadilla
#+LATEX_HEADER: \author[me]{me and the coauthors}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \title[short title]{long title \\ next line}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \institute[short institute]{long institute}
#+subtitle: subtitle
#+OPTIONS: H:2 toc:t num:t title:nil

The subtitle is ignored and the resulting tex file still contains
\title{presentation}

Thanks,

[O] Some LaTeX Beamer / org-mode questions

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

I'm working on my first presentation using org mode together with latex
beamer (until now, I produce the slide using beamer only).

The top of my org file looks like that:

#+startup: beamer
#+LATEX_CLASS: beamer
#+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [presentation]
#+BEAMER_THEME: Boadilla
#+LATEX_HEADER: \author[me]{\underline{me}, co1, co2}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \title[short title]{multi line long title}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \subtitle{subtitle}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \institute[short institute]{multi line long institute}

This works so far, except the title. Since I do not set a title using
#+TITLE, org-mode sets a default \title{presentation}. How can I omit that?

Is there a more elegant way to achieve the settings like above? Especially

- The short and version of title, author and institute.
- The multi line (\\) formatting
- The subtitle

Thanks!

[O] Expire deadline of none TODO items

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

some of my nodes have a deadline but a TODO. Therefore they can't be
DONE. Yet, in the org-agenda they are displayed indefinitly until I set
a DONE for them, which I do not want (because they weren't a TODO in
the first place).

Can I make org-mode auto expire items that have a deadline but not a
TODO item? So that they are now shown in the agenda, when the deadline
have passed for e.g. 5 days.

Thanks,
Florian

[O] Bug: Capture templates: file-olp

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

I just noticed, that if I use a capture template like 

(p foo entry (file+olp  foo) * %?\n%t\n%i)

It complains about:

Template key: 
org-find-olp: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

It works when using

(p foo entry (file+olp org-default-notes-file foo) * %?\n%t\n%i)

However, documentation claims:

If that file name is the empty string, it defaults to org-default-notes-
file.

http://orgmode.org/manual/Template-elements.html#Template-elements

org-mode that was shipped with Emacs 24.5.

Is that a known bug? Or is it no bug at all?

Best Regards,
Florian

[O] Showing next items in agenda + deadline in past

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

two questions regarding agenda views. The agenda for the current week looks 
like that:

Week-agenda (W03):
Monday 12 January 2015 W03
  capture:TODO Stellwände für kommenden Montag besorgen
Tuesday13 January 2015
Wednesday  14 January 2015
  uni:75 d. ago:  Abstract
  uni:In   6 d.:  TODO Registration
Thursday   15 January 2015
Friday 16 January 2015
Saturday   17 January 2015
Sunday 18 January 2015


1) How can I configure it to show not the next n days, but the next n events 
like:

Next events-agenda (W03):
Monday 12 January 2015 W03
  capture:TODO Stellwände für kommenden Montag besorgen
Wednesday  14 January 2015 
  uni:75 d. ago:  Abstract
  uni:In   6 d.:  TODO Registration
Saturday   17 January 2015 (+ 3d)
  whatever

(I also added a (+ 3d) to days as an idea)

2) There is this 75 d. ago Abstract DEADLINE. How am I supposed to act on 
deadlines in the past? The item has no TODO/DONE marker, just the DEADLINE. 
How to say that the action that relates to this deadline is done?

Thanks,
Florian

 I'm using an the same org file every year and I'd like to archive some

You mean that:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/86901

It's a feature I've been searching too for some time, but to no success.

I even thought about a bug bounty for that:

[O] Feature Request Bounty?

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

first question: Are bug/feature request bounties are ok here?

I have a FR that I really want to have resolved. Described here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-05/msg01186.html

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#sec-1-7-1 does not do the job (tried 
the slightly more complex version).

Since I would really benefit in my workflow I thought about bringing out a 
bug bounty for that. 

Are bounties fine or seen as inappropiate?

What amount would you deem appropriate for implementation?

Best Regards,
Florian

[O] [FR] Archive subtree with parent structure

[Florian Lindner]

org-archive-subtree archives a subtree.

* A
** AA
*** AAA
** AB
*** ABA

Archiving AA will remove the subtree from the original file and create
it like that in archive target:

* AA
** AAA

What I want (wish for) is to create it like that in the archive target:

* A
** AA
*** AAA

If I also archive AB after that, it gets inserted in the structure which
is now identical to the structure we started with.

Use case: I tend to archive small pieces of a project's subtree long
before I'm ready to archive the entire project. This way I build (want
to build) an archived mirror of the project's subtree bit by bit.

Thanks a lot to the org-mode developers.

[O] Make org-iswitchb see all agenda files (not only opened ones)

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

can I make org-iswitchb consider not only already opened files but all 
agenda files, just like org-agenda?


I tried one and two prefix arguments, but org-iswitchb always considers 
only files that are already opened.


Thanks!
Florian

[O] Bug: Archive subtree with parent structure [7.9.3f (release_7.9.3f-17-g7524ef @ /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/)]

This is not a bug report but a wishlist item.

AB will be archived to:

No, but each subtree can contain an :ARCHIVE: property that will help
you come close to this.

For example:

* A
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ARCHIVE: basement_archive::* A
  :END

** AA
** AB
** AC

then C-c $ on AA AB and AC will archive them under the * A subtree
of the basement_archive file.


Hey,

sorry for that reply after a long time.

Problem is that this kind of archivement does not fit my workflow. I 
tend to archive small pieces of a project's subtree long before I'm 
ready to archive the entire project. This way I build (want to build) an 
archived mirror of the project's subtree bit by bit.


Do you know what is the appropriate place to file such an feature as a 
whishlist item? M-x org-submit-bug-report RET ?


Thx,

[O] Archive subtree with parent structure

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

is it possible to org-archive-subtree a subtree and keep the entire 
parent structure? e.g.


* A
** AA
** AB
** AC


AB will be archived to:

* A
** AB


Another question, just out of interest: Why is there 
org-archive-subtree-default at all? According to documentation and 
source it just calls the function in org-archive-default-command:


(defun org-archive-subtree-default ()
  Archive the current subtree with the default command.
This command is set with the variable `org-archive-default-command'.
  (interactive)
  (call-interactively org-archive-default-command))

Isn't the emacs way to rather just set org-archive-subtree to another 
function or rebind the key? Just a question from an interessted emacs 
novice.

[O] Electric-indent-mode and lists

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

Emacs 24.3.1 on Arch.

emacs -Q
M-x electric-indent-mode
C-x C-f some/nonexistent/file.org

Now entering

* abc
  + a
+ b
  + c

Each list entry is idented furthermore. I doesn't happen if I use M-Ret to 
enter a list item.

Or is this behavior intended?

Thanks!

[O] PROPERTIES added when cycling state

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

recently (I think it could be after the emacs 24 update) I have a
behavior of org-mode that it adds some PROPERTIES drawer when cyling
the state TODO/DONE/ I was not really able to reproduce that. I'm
not using todo inter-dependencies or alike so I see no reason why that
should be needed.

** TODO pfcbcreator an neue Templates anpassen
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 6d054c0d-905d-42d4-b748-1c5072bc6bea
:END:

My org-mode config is:

(setq org-directory ~/Dropbox/org/)
(setq org-agenda-files '(~/Dropbox/org/))
(setq org-mobile-directory ~/Dropbox/org/mobile/)
(setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull ~/Dropbox/org/mobile.org)
(setq org-log-done t)
(setq org-startup-indented t)

How can I stop that?

Thanks,

Florian
