[O] Paste subtree without expanding it / keep it collapsed after pasting
Hi list, I often copy an item and its whole subtree to move them around, I know I can move them with the move commands, but sometimes it's faster to just copy, paste and fix the leveling later. I can copy or cut a collapsed subtree and it will copy everything below it until it ends (and the next item at the same level starts), which is intuitive and works great. However, when pasting it, it automatically expands the tree and it makes it really hard to see the context so I can fix the leveling, for example. Is there a way to paste the subtree [and keep it] collapsed? Thanks in advance!

[O] Move (the children of) a subtree to another subtree programmatically
Hi there, I'm trying to figure out the best way to move the children of a subtree to another one. The use-case is simple: I have another lisp function that creates a new item in an orgfile for me everyday with the current date and gives it focus. In the case below, it'd have created `<2018-01-01`> above `<2017-12-31>`, that works already: * <2018-01-01> * <2017-12-31> ** TODO Foobar ** DONE Barfoo As part of that, I'd also want to move all TODO items from the previous day to the next day. I'm not sure how to do it though. I tried using `org-map-entries` with an `if` to exclude the direct parent (the date item) and then use `org-cut-subtree` and `org-paste-subtree` but for some reason emacs hangs. I couldn't figure out how to use `org-refile` programmatically though. Considering I have access in elisp to both a `to` and `from` variables, where `to` is `<2018-01-01>` and from is `<2017-12-31>` and that I want to move all *non-DONE` items from `from` to `to`, how would I go about doing that? Thanks in adance! - Marcelo.
[O] TaskWarrior <> OrgMode integration
I've given TaskWarrior a try this weekend it's actually quite nice. The advantage it has over org is that it's more suitable for a gtd(ish) system out-of-the-box, you don't need to tinker with anything and the reports are great. Integrating TaskWarrior with orgmode might make sense. My idea is that in addition to what it already does, TaskWarrior could be used as a capture tool for org, meaning TW tasks could be stored in a an org file, using the org format. This way, if you don't want to tinker with org to make it more suitable for GTD, you can just use TW for what it is good at, and org for what it's better at (taking notes for the tasks, etc) and you can even mix-and-match, sometimes using org or sometimes TW from the CLI, both sharing the same org text file. Do you think such an integration would make sense? - Marcelo.
[O] Visualizing org files
Hey all, I'm a long org-mode user and I absolutely love it. During the years I've been using org, nothing else came close to being so simple and so powerful as org - and I a lot tried different productivity apps. One thing that would nicely complement org, in my opinion, would be a visualization mode for its buffers. Right now I sometimes use Freeplane*[0] to draft/brainstorm complex ideas or problems/solutions and then attach it to an org item and write more specific action items there. It'd be nice to have everything in a Freemind map, if needed. What I'm proposing is a way to visualize org buffers in Freeplane and vice-versa. It could also be a script that uses something like graphviz*[1] to create a graph of one or more org buffers, like Sasha Chua did here: http://pages.sachachua.com/evil-plans/, although I prefer using Freeplane since it allows me to edit the org file as a mind-map, visually, if I want. I think a script to automatically transform the Freeplane XML to org and vice-versa wouldn't be too hard to come up with. The graphviz solution is also interesting and Sasha already provides the snippets. Are any other people out there that are already doing something similar to what I described above? Maybe we could share some ideas on how to tackle this feature or if it'd be worth adding it into the org core ;) Cheers! - Marcelo *[0] https://www.freeplane.org/wiki/index.php/Home *[1] https://www.graphviz.org/
[O] Encrypt attachments
Hi there, I currently use org-encrypt to encrypt entries and epa to encrypt entire org files successfully. I was wondering though, if org supports any out-of-the-box encryption feature for attachments. I've been using an encrypted file volume on OSX for attachments. The nice thing about the enc. volume is that it's a volume in a file, so it's easy to check it into github and it doesn't expose the file tree either (Actually, I think this could be extended to include the whole org repository). Also, once you unlock it, it is mounted and stays like this until you reboot the OS (you can also auto-mount it) so it's transparent. I recently got a Linux box and I'm searching for a cross-platform solution. Is there anything like this for Linux? What do you use to encript your attachments and or org files? Thanks in advance, - Marcelo.

The nice thing is that when they are current, they are put in the right order (as they are defined in the org file in question), but what bugs me is that when they are outdated, they are ordered by the oldest to the newest, it seems.

[O] [org][gpg] Encrypt org-attachments?
Hi list, Is it currently possible to use gnupg to automatically encrypt/decrypt files attached using the org-attach feature? If not, would it be hard to implement? The org-crypt feature is great and I use it all the time to keep sensitive data in my reference file, but when I need to archive files (often scan of documents) I would also like to have the ability to automatically encrypt them when filing, and them decrypt them when using org-attach to open the file.

Re: [O] org-babel-tangle-file not parsing code blocks
Hi Thomas. Thanks again for the reply. I still don't understand why the TARGET_FILE argument is optional. I would expect it to create a file of the same name of the org file that is tangled. Take this code: (org-babel-tangle-file ~/.emacs.d/config/peepopen-config.org) Contents: * Load it #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (add-to-list 'load-path (concat fullofcaffeine-vendor-dir /peepopen)) (require 'peepopen) (textmate-mode) (provide 'peepopenconfig) #+END_SRC When I evaluate the (org-babel-tangle-file...) line, I get the following: Tangled 0 code blocks from peepopen-config.org I would expect it to tangle 1 block, and create a peepopen-config.el (no need to define a TARGET_FILE string). Two questions: 1) Not sure why it's not tangling the BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp block 2) Am I wrong about the .el file creation assumption ? Cheers! - Marcelo. On Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 5:39 PM, Thomas S.

[O] Scribus+org?
I've recently found about Scribus (http://www.scribus.net/canvas/Scribus), an open-source alternative to InDesign. I've tried InDesign, and it's great, but it can't beat org+TeX publishing because it can't be programmed (at least I didn't find out a way to do so). I was wondering if there are any use cases for the use of Scribus + org for publishing? Is anyone in the list using it by any chances? It looks interesting. I'll be playing with it in the following days and share my findings as well. Cheers! - Marcelo.
Re: [O] orgmode + evernote, anyone using it? Use cases?
You make some very good points, Eden. Dragging is what bothers me. I used to use Emacs for a lot of other stuff before, but decided to be more pragmatic and enjoy apps outside it as well. I don't currently live inside Emacs (in fact, I've ended up switching to MacVim for most of my coding tasks, but that was before Evil was available, and I might take the time to switch my env to Emacs again someday, now that there is a decent Vim emulation layer), and I use other OSX apps. OSX is very graphical. Being able to quickly drag and drop items in an Emacs org buffer would be a plus, and would also be helpful to less technically-savvy/more graphically oriented people willing to use org. I have grown a habit of capturing absolutely everything, which is eased by the fact that I redirect everything I can to IRC or my mailbox, which gives me a very efficient note-taking and communication system That sounds *very* interesting. Would you mind sharing a bit more about your system? I'm specially curious about the capture tools you're using (IRC?). I also have the capability of capturing links to stuff on a remote system (which Evernote can't do). Good point. The only useful thing I've ever done with Evernote is take advantage of the OCR search, which means I can capture physical things fast with the smartphone and find them later via search True. That's a very useful Evernote capture feature, very convenient when you just don't feel like writing. Now, I agree orgmode has the edge, specially for the geekier audience, but Evernote has some great capture tools, tools that could be ported to org (food for thought) or used in conjunction.

Integration with dnd and copy and paste for files and images would be awesome and put org on par with Evernote in this regard.

I'd also like to use it mainly as a polished client, and sync the docs back to orgmode somehow. I know there's the Evernote mode for emacs, but I haven't tried it yet. Anyway, I think org and Evernote *could* be an interesting combo; nevertheless, I'll be satisfied if this message triggers some interesting discussion about those two great tools. Cheers, - Marcelo.

Re: [O] org-wikinodes - is there a limit of processable files/nodes
Hi Bastien, Working now, thanks a lot! What was that change about? One last question: How can I have a wikilink in a headline? When I write a CamelCased link in an org headline, it doesn't get converted to a link automatically, probably because headlines are the nodes and that might cause a deadlock loop? Is there a way to force a wikilink (to another wikinode) in a headline? (I've tried enclosing in [[]] but it doesn't seem to create a wikinode link, only a regular org link). Also, a suggestion: I think an additional value for the scope setting could be created called list of directories, where you could force a specific directory(ies) where you keep your wiki org files. Right now, I'm doing that by modifying the function as I stated in the previous message. I might do that if I have the time, but I fear breaking something else, as my elisp skills are still quite basic. Cheers, Marcelo.

Re: [O] org-wikinodes - is there a limit of processable files/nodes
Hi Bastien, Can you narrow down the problem and describe a simple way to reproduce it? Sure, sorry if I wasn't specific enough. I have a specific wiki/ directory that has ~500 org files. There are an average of ~20 org headlines per file. I'm trying to take advantage of org-wikinodes' camelcase linking feature. So, say I have a headlines like this in one of those 500 org files: * MyPIMSystem And in another org file in the same wiki/ directory I write: ... as I do in MyPIMSystem ... The MyPIMSystem gets converted to a wikinodes link, and when I click it, considering the wiki cache is nil, wikinodes will start searching the current directory's org files for the a file with MyPIMSystem headline (this takes around ~10secs), and even though there exists the org file with the MyPIMSystem headline in the wiki/ directory, wikinodes just doesn't find it, and shows the prompt asking me if I want to create it. I must also say that I modified the org-wikinodes-which-file function slightly from this: (defun org-wikinodes-which-file (target optional directory) Return the file for wiki headline TARGET DIRECTORY. If there is no such wiki target, return nil. (setq directory (expand-file-name (or directory default-directory))) (unless (assoc directory org-wikinodes-directory-targets-cache) (push (cons directory (org-wikinodes-get-links-for-directory directory)) org-wikinodes-directory-targets-cache)) (cdr (assoc target (cdr (assoc directory org-wikinodes-directory-targets-cache) To this: (defun org-wikinodes-which-file (target optional directory) Return the file for wiki headline TARGET DIRECTORY. If there is no such wiki target, return nil. (setq directory (expand-file-name /Users/myself/org/wiki)) ; here (unless (assoc directory org-wikinodes-directory-targets-cache) (push (cons directory (org-wikinodes-get-links-for-directory directory)) org-wikinodes-directory-targets-cache)) (cdr (assoc target (cdr (assoc directory org-wikinodes-directory-targets-cache) Why? Because I have files in other directory levels that I still want to link to the wiki, so basically I want to force all wikilinks to point to nodes in org files that reside in this wiki/ directory only. But this is a simple change, I don't think it would cause any kind of issues. Also, after I try clicking in a wikilink, and the cache is nil, just after this function tries to build the cache, and when I evaluate the org-wikinodes-directory-targets-cache var, instead of the expected data-structure containing filenames and nodes, I get this: ((/Users/myself/wiki)) I've tested with the unmodified org-wikinodes-which-file func + a org-wikinodes-scope setting = directory, and I get the same thing.

[O] Org HTML-PDF publishing
Hey guys, Is it feasible to publish something (say an ebook) to html and then convert it to pdf? I know *TeX is the most powerful framework for creating PDFs, but given that I'm more familiar with CSS, I'm sure I could come up with a better style for the document in much less time than if, say, using LaTeX, as of now. My thought is, publish to HTML via org using a custom CSS, and then convert this HTML+CSS to PDF somehow - I'm still not sure how exactly - printing to PDF from the browser might be an option, however, I'm afraid that the final PDF quality will not be enough for the given publication. Has anyone tried this workflow? Cheers, - Marcelo.
Re: [O] state of the art for html5 presentations?
Wow, that's a lot of options! I really liked impress.js, and I'm glad to know there's an org mode bridge to it :) I've only used showoff in the past (https://github.com/schacon/showoff) and it uses one or more markdown files as the source for the presentation. No need to write HTML/CSS/JS if you don't want to. It's simple and works very well. Since it's markdown, I'm sure using org could be very possible, since org can export to markdown. Perhaps there's even a library out there that already adapts showoff to org?

[O] [OT] Xiki - could something like that be done with emacs+orgmode?
Hi list, I've found a pretty interesting piece of software today. It's called Xiki, check out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUR_eUVcABgfeature=youtu.be I'm wondering it something like that could be done with emacs (and possibly integrating orgmode to add the outlining features)? That could be interesting. Just food for thought, Cheers! - Marcelo.
Re: [O] Store org-files in a git repository?
This calls for a good logging system. Something that stores any action you take on a .org file (editing an entry, marking it as DONE, clocking it, refiling it, etc.) and that you can easily *query*. For now the logs are somewhat hackish, more a casual convenience, and the actual system is not good for stable parsing. That's something I considered working on at some point, but starting this before org-element.el was complete was not a good idea. Ok, now org-element.el is complete... :) This sounds promising, Bastien! Let us know how it goes.

[O] [OT] Automating the process of creating 'buildlogs'
This is kind of OT, but still relevant to org, I think.. I spend most of my day coding, and sometimes doing devops stuff. When I can't (don't have the time, or the client just doesn't want to) automate it with a scm system like Chef, I rely on buildlogs (all of them saved as org files). However, I find buildlogs a pain to build manually, specially when you are int the middle of the task - in the zone - typing, retyping, researching etc, and still have to stop and take notes in a document. My perfect workflow would be something like: automatically capture everything you wrote in the terminal to a file. Then, based off this file, add the step descriptions and any other additional information. No need to manually copy pieces of data from the terminal to the document, risking forgetting a step in the process. I was wondering if any of you guys ever thought about this or done anything to automate it? I don't use the shell from emacs, I use iTerm. One alternative I think is to use GNU Screen and set it up to log the input (I know a colleague of mine did that once). Another one is to setup something from emacs that automatically saves the input data in a temp buffer and then converts it to a org file. I'll try one of those tonight, but if any of you guys have insights you'd like to share, it'd be superb :) Cheers! - Marcelo.

[O] building tagcloud datastructure in elisp
Hi list, How hard would it be to parse a bunch of org files and build an elisp data structure (Hash?) that represents a tagcloud?

[O] Quick poll - do you use the agenda more as a query interface or as your main view
I'm wondering: Do you use the agenda more as a query interface or as your main view? I tend to use the agenda for its powerful search capabilities, and either use follow mode and or enter to get more hierarchical context of the task (since I tend to follow GTD, and there's always a project/sub-projects with actions (TODO), so an item by itself might not have all the necessary information about it (what project does it belong to, for example). But I never use it as my main view. In fact, it would be nice if we could have an agenda view that showed items hierarchically (like follow mode, but in the agenda listing itself, perhaps with the levels configurable). I might play around with it and see if I can come up with something :) Cheers, - Marcelo.

[O] Cached agenda views?
Hi list, It's a known fact that the more files you put into the agenda, the more likely it is to become slower. I've started using Memacs a few weeks ago, and my agenda is still very useable, but significantly slower than before (due to the big amount of temporal data being processed from my gmail emails and git logs). I was wondering if it would be possible to NOT regenerate the agenda everytime. I think this would mean parsing the org files and dumping the elisp objects created somehow. This way, when visiting the agenda again, it would be loaded from the objects dump and would not go through the parsing of all the agenda files again, unless forced by the user; or within a specific time, via a cron or internal emacs timer. This would also, in theory, allow the agenda to be constantly regenerated in a background worker process. What do you think? Cheers, - Marcelo.

Despite the price tag, it was the only piece of software I paid for, *without* later discovering some free open source software that did the same thing better. Tinderbox has some feature overlap with Org, but not a lot. It's much more a generalized note-taking/data collection program -- it can and often is configured as a TODO machine, but you'd have to build in much of the stuff that comes with Org by default. On the other hand, it's much more powerful and flexible when it comes to (re)organizing chunks of plain data. Tinderbox notes are comparable to a single Org headline-plus-text-and-metadata, but they can be arranged and related much more flexibly. Tinderbox doesn't have spreadsheets, tho -- not as far as I remember. Multiple views on the same data is something that Tinderbox also does very well. One interesting distinction is Tinderbox agents. Agents are notes that are mini-programs: they collect other notes according to various search criteria, and the act on them according to various rules. They make Tinderbox powerful, but they also make it confusing: the search and action rules are written in a mini-programming language that is a bit perplexing. But there are interesting implications for Org. Org agenda views are the equivalent of agents, in the *collection* sense: you give it search criteria, and it gives you what is essentially a set of symlinks to other headlines. Action is done by the user, of course, with Agenda commands. I've daydreamed about this before: what if, instead of agenda views, we took a page from the Tinderbox method and made agendas simple headlines, with some cookie saying I'm an agenda, and a property containing the search string. Instead of having an ephemeral *Org Agenda* buffer, your agenda views are simply another in-file headline, whose children are TODOs/headlines that match the query. Multiple and persistent agendas are suddenly a matter of course. It wouldn't work well for date-based Agendas, of course. In fact, it would probably turn out to be a bad idea for reasons I haven't fully thought through, yet, but it was an interesting daydream.

[O] relisp - elisp-ruby bridge
Hey list, I've found about relisp today (there were no github mirrors, so I created one here: https://github.com/fullofcaffeine/relisp). This gem allows you to call Ruby from Elisp and vice-versa. I even built a small proof of concept project that I've been wanting to do for some time. Since I (still) prefer Ruby over Lisp (also because I don't know much elisp), I've built the (seemingly) hardest part in Ruby, and the rest in elisp, here's the URL to it: https://github.com/fullofcaffeine/org-catalog-ebooks relips works really well. It can be a great way to extend emacs by using Ruby and also by using Elisp/orgmode from Ruby apps! Cheers, - Marcelo.
Re: [O] [OT] Encoding error when calling a ruby script from Emacs using shell-command
This is nonsense, may I suggest you read locale (1p)? If you set LC_ALL, this overrides the other two settings no matter what they are set to (and you may prevent some scripts trying to set LC_COLLATE or something like that from functioning correctly). Unless you really need such a big hammer, set LANG (this provides the default) and leave it at that. I had no idea it worked like that. Thanks for the heads up. I don't understand why such a hammer is needed at all It was a simple labor of trial and error. I didn't want to spend more time on it, and since it worked, I left it as is, for now. And in that case, how/why does it work from a terminal? It works fine from the terminal (iTerm/zshell), and after I used setenv before the (shell-command), it worked just like it does from when ran from the terminal. I might get into it and try to figure out why emacs is not inheriting the setting from the shell (I'm using zshell on Mac OSX Lion, and emacs is (GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of 2012-01-29 on bob.porkrind.org). But for now, I'll leave it as is, since it's working as expected. Thanks! - Marcelo.

Unless you really need such a big hammer, set LANG (this provides the default) and leave it at that. I don't understand why such a hammer is needed at all: if LANG (or LC_ALL) is set in a login shell[fn:1] and exported, then all child processes (including emacs and including any shells that emacs spawns) will inherit the setting. So if setting it as above with setenv (i.e. modifying the emacs environment and therefore the processes that emacs spawns) makes a difference, that suggests that it is not set globally. I doubt that that is a good idea in general. Even if you want it just in the case of emacs, it's probably better to do the setenv first thing in .emacs. And in that case, how/why does it work from a terminal? Nick Footnotes: [fn:1] Or some equivalent way for a graphical login.
[O] Tags macro?
Hi list, I find myself tagging items that often go with multiple tags at the same time. I'm wondering if a tags macro would make sense, where a key shortcut would apply multiple tags at once. What do you guys think? - Marcelo.
Re: [O] [OT] Encoding error when calling a ruby script from Emacs using shell-command
Alright, I solved it. The problem is that emacs' shell-command doesn't use the same environment, so it wasn't picking up the value of those three vars: ✗ export | grep UTF LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 So, I did this: (defun test () (setenv LANG en_US.UTF-8) (setenv LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8) (setenv LC_CTYPE en_US.UTF-8) (shell-command /Users/myself/.rvm/bin/rvm ruby-1.9.3-p194 do /usr/bin/rubyscript) ) And now it works fine. Cheers, - Marcelo.

I have a small Ruby CLI program that I want to call from emacs. This script simply opens an emacs orgmode file from a specific location in my hard drive, and does some text processing. When I call it from the terminal directly, it works fine. When I call it from emacs, the script fails with an encoding error. I'm using this elisp to call it from emacs after a buffer is saved: (defun test () (let ((universal-coding-system-argument 'utf-8-unix)) (shell-command /Users/myself/.rvm/bin/rvm ruby-1.9.3-p194 do /usr/bin/myrubyscript) )) (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'test) NOTE: The (let ((universal-coding-system-argument 'utf-8-unix)) was an attempt to fix it, but it made no difference whatsoever. Probably wrong, but who knows? it may work by some miracle: (let ((coding-system-for-read 'utf-8-unix) (coding-system-for-write 'utf-8-unix)) (shell-command /Users/myself/.rvm/bin/rvm ruby-1.9.3-p194 do /usr/bin/myrubyscript) After I save a buffer, the shell-command function is fired, but I get the following output in the *Shell Command Output* buffer: F, [2012-08-30T01:59:18.688827 #94004] FATAL -- : invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII (ArgumentError) /Users/myself/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/org-ruby-0.6.3/lib/org-ruby/parser.rb:89:in `split' /Users/myself/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/org-ruby-0.6.3/lib/org-ruby/parser.rb:89:in `initia But this looks like ruby is expecting ASCII and is getting something else (probably UTF-8). What does the output of the command, when executed from a terminal, look like? Redirect it into a file and then use od to look at bytes. Also, you can try adding an output buffer as argument to the shell-command and then eyeballing the output in that buffer to see if it matches the terminal output. Nick The strange thing is that the file that this script opens *is* accessible, and is the same file it would open if it were fired up from the terminal. For some reason, Emacs is getting in the way, but I have no idea what that could be. Am I missing something? If someone could enlighten me here, I'd be really grateful! Thanks in advance, - Marcelo.
