Re: org-persist cache for remote files
Hi Ihor, I had some trouble testing your patches, and the outcome is still unclear to me: apparently (again, cannot be sure this is not caused by "improper" application of the patches) the new version of org-persist, with default value for o-p-remote-files (100), removes any remote file from the persistent index, without even prompting for a password. I will try again (and harder) as time permits. ciao, lele. -- nickname: Lele Gaifax | Quando vivrò di quello che ho pensato ieri real: Emanuele Gaifas | comincerò ad aver paura di chi mi copia. l...@metapensiero.it | -- Fortunato Depero, 1929.

That's why I took a > risk to enable cache by default on main. today I spent the required time to investigate on one issue I had with my Doom-based profile, that uses the "master" version of Orgmode, and found it related to the org-persist functionality. Basically since some time ago, quitting Emacs I was sometime prompted for a password, some other time it took a considerable time to close the instance. Digging down, I found that it was due to the persistent cache, that contained several entries about remote (Tramp) documents: upon closing Emacs, the org-persist-gc function is triggered, and the index is traversed to remove dangling entries, performing a file-exist-p on each filename. For remote files, that obviously mean prompting for the remote password (when the ssh-agent does not carry it) or spending a considerable time in the network round trip. I wonder if there is some mechanism I could use to either prevent caching of non-local documents or to avoid the check on existence in the org-persist-gc.

[O] Preparing a cost estimate with Org
Hi all,
I use Org to produce "cost estimate" documents: the goal is to keep in a
single document a detailed log of what I'm asked to work on, the estimated
effort, the estimated cost and the time I actually spend on each item.
I'm already quite satisfied with the overall process and final result: I can
quickly export it as an elegant PDF document and give it to my customer, who
in turn accepts or rejects any single task, decisions that I bring back to the
document as tags (or todo labels) on the headlines.
For my current engagement, for several reasons I do not want to expose the
actual timings to the customer. Given that I could not find a way to omit a
particular column of a table, I opted to have two separated tables, one with
the summary for my own pleasure inside a COMMENT section, and another with
just the costs.
This is a sample of what I came up:
* COMMENT Efforts summary
#+NAME: efforts
#+BEGIN: columnview :id global :indent t :skip-empty-rows t :format
"%40ITEM(Item) %13Effort(Effort){:} %CLOCKSUM(Work)"
| Item | Effort | Work |
|++--|
| Tasks | 3:00 | 0:47 |
| \_ Task A | 1:00 | 0:19 |
| \_ Task C | 2:00 | 0:28 |
#+END:
#+CONSTANTS: one_minute_cost=0.5
* Cost estimate
| Item | Cost |
|+--|
| Tasks | 90 |
| \_ Task A | 30 |
| \_ Task C | 60 |
#+TBLFM: $1='(identity remote(efforts, @@#$1))::$2='(round (*
(org-duration-to-minutes (identity remote(efforts, @@#$2))) $one_minute_cost))
* Tasks
** Task A
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 1:00
:END:
:LOGBOOK:
CLOCK: [2019-01-24 gio 15:51]--[2019-01-24 gio 16:10] => 0:19
:END:
** Task B
:REJ:
:PROPERTIES:
:Rejected-Effort: 2:00
:END:
** Task C
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 2:00
:END:
:LOGBOOK:
CLOCK: [2019-01-24 gio 15:11]--[2019-01-24 gio 15:39] => 0:28
:END:
The only problem with this approach is that it requires a manual intervention
to build the "cost estimate" table: first I recompute the "efforts" one with
C-c C-c, then I copy its body to the other table, delete the third column and
eventually do a C-c C-c on its TBLFM to recompute the costs.
As you can see, "Task B" has been rejected by the customer, so I had to rename
the associated effort property to remove it from the table.
Is there a more efficient/automatic way to achieve a similar result? I mean, is
there a way to
a) keep a single table, but omit a particular column at export time
or
have the second table properly populated from the actual tasks tree as it
happens for the first one
b) filter out entries with a particular tag/property, so that I can keep the
original estimate
?
Thanks in advance for any hints,
ciao, lele.

Re: [O] latex-export + columnview: misinterpretation of section prefixes as emphasis
Hi all, I know this is an ancient thread, but it seems the problem is still there, in Emacs 25. FWIW, this is my quick and dirty fix, that at least produce a readable output, in Emacs as well as in the PDF output. (require 'org-colview) ;; Quick workaround to http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/25821: replace ;; asterisks with some other character in the table automatically built by org-colview, because ;; when the table is exported to LaTeX they are misinterpreted as emphasis markup, resulting in ;; an unreadable hierarchy. (defun esk/org-replace-section-prefix (s) "Replace asterisks in Org heading with em-dashes." (when (string-match org-outline-regexp-bol s) (setq s (replace-match (concat (make-string (- (match-end 0) (match-beginning 0) 1) ?—) " ") t t s))) s) (defun org-listtable-to-string (tbl) "Convert a listtable TBL to a string that contains the Org-mode table. The table still need to be aligned. The resulting string has no leading and trailing newline characters." (mapconcat (lambda (x) (cond ((listp x) (concat "|" (esk/org-replace-section-prefix (mapconcat 'identity x "|")) "|")) ((eq x 'hline) "|-|") (t (error "Garbage in listtable: %s" x tbl "\n")) Of course I'll be happy to hear about any better way to do it! ciao, lele. -- nickname: Lele Gaifax | Quando vivrò di quello che ho pensato ieri real: Emanuele Gaifas | comincerò ad aver paura di chi mi copia. l...@metapensiero.it | -- Fortunato Depero, 1929.

Nicolas Goaziou m...@nicolasgoaziou.fr writes: This is a silly bug actually: *...* is for bold markup, so *** is exported as a bold star. Oh, I see, thank you! I'd rather not make an exception and modify bold parsing, so other characters should be inserted to represent headline's level. I find numbers too verbose. Replacing stars with dots is not possible either as ... will be exported differently with some export back-ends. Maybe * * * instead of ***? Any better idea? What about having an option to use alternative chars, maybe some fancy Unicode glyph? →, ⇒, ⦿, or even some kind of non-breakable-space come to mind. ciao, lele. -- nickname: Lele Gaifax | Quando vivrò di quello che ho pensato ieri real: Emanuele Gaifas | comincerò ad aver paura di chi mi copia. l...@metapensiero.it | -- Fortunato Depero, 1929.
[O] Exporting columnviews
Hi all,
I use Org (Emacs 24.4.90, with Org mode 8.2.10) to analyze and plan the
development of new projects/features, with a persistent columnview containing
a summary, something like the following:
#+TITLE: Test
#+PROPERTY: Effort_ALL 1:00 2:00 3:00 4:00 5:00 6:00 7:00 8:00
#+COLUMNS: %40ITEM(Item) %13Effort(Estimated){:} %CLOCKSUM(Spent)
* Main
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id local
| Item| Estimated | Spent |
|-+---+---|
| * Main | 3:00 | |
| ** Subpoint | 1:00 | |
| *** Subsubpoint | 1:00 | |
| ** Other| 2:00 | |
#+END:
** Subpoint
*** Subsubpoint
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 1:00
:END:
** Other
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 2:00
:END:
When I export the above, while the headings get numbered the columnview table
does contain the items introduced by either one or two asterisks, something
like the following (cutpastedmanually aligned from the HTML output):
Table of Contents
1. Main
1.1. Subpoint
1.1.1. Subsubpoint
1.2. Other
1 Main
Item Estimated Spent
* Main3:00
** Subpoint 1:00
* Subsubpoint 1:00
** Other 2:00
...
Apparently, all items at an odd-level get one asterisk and all the others
two. The same happens with PDF and ODT...
I tried to play with some of the options, but I did not find something that
impacts the export of the columnview.
I wonder if there is something I am missing to obtain either
Item Estimated Spent
* Main3:00
** Subpoint 1:00
*** Subsubpoint 1:00
** Other 2:00
or
Item Estimated Spent
1. Main 3:00
1.1 Subpoint1:00
1.1.1 Subsubpoint 1:00
1.2 Other 2:00
Thanks in advance for any hints!
ciao, lele.
