[O] New maintainer for MobileOrg on iOS
I'm looking for someone to take over maintaining MobileOrg for iOS. My iOS Developer subscription ($99/yr) is about to expire on September 7, and I'm hoping I can find someone who may be interested in iOS development to carry it forward before then. I also just got a notification from Dropbox that the API version I'm using will be retired in December 2012, so there would be that small amount of work involved to keep it up to date. I don't have a Mac or iPhone anymore, but I'm happy to help anyone who's willing to get up to speed with it. If you're interested, please let me know. Thanks, Richard
Re: [Orgmode] MobileOrg: Unexpceted error when syncing data from Dropbox
Hi All, I've had a few emails on this and I spent a while this evening trying to recreate it. Unfortunately, I've been unable to make this happen. It sounds like there are 2 errors people are seeing: - Unexpected error when syncing - Bad file encoding If anyone is able to take a snapshot of an org-mobile-directory that is triggering this problem, I'd love to run it through the debugger here and see what's going on. Or if you've got an idea of how to recreate it another way, please let me know. I've tried just about everything I can think of to no avail. I appreciate the help of anyone who can help me recreate it.

Thanks Richard, that worked fine. But does that mean there's a bit of coordination to manage if multiple users all decided they want to use MobileOrg? In turn, each user would get their top level MobileOrg folder up and running, then move it down a level, so as to make space for the next user who'd do the same? I'm not sure how your account sharing is setup: if you are all using the same credentials, you will probably run into trouble. Each Dropbox account will only get a single 'magic' MobileOrg folder, so if everyone is sharing a single login, I don't see how it will work. It would probably be possible to change MobileOrg to support specifying the folder in your Dropbox account that it should use, but I have reservations about that. The way I use the API now, MobileOrg only has access to its own sandbox/special folder. There's no way it could accidentally mess with/expose/etc your other Dropbox files. The other option is to let each user have their own Dropbox account and simply share folders from a master account to each person.

Re: [Orgmode] MobileOrg on DropBox for Teams
Hi Tommy, You should be able to rename the MobileOrg directory from within the web interface once you've linked MobileOrg to your Dropbox account. You'll know it worked because the renamed folder will continue to have the same special icon that it had prior to the rename, indicating that it is linked to an application. You won't need to change anything on the iPhone side, it doesn't really know what folder its data is stored in. However, in your .emacs, you'll want to change org-mobile-directory to your newly directory name. Hope this helps, Richard On Sat, 27 Nov 2010 13:18 -0600, Tommy Kelly tommy.ke...@verilab.com wrote: Is the location on DropBox where the iPhone app expects to find the org files hard-coded (to /MobileOrg), or is it customizable? I've tried messing with org-mobile-directory on the emacs side and with the Index File field on the iPhone app, but it didn't work. I tried: I set org-mobile-directory to: ~/Dropbox/mydir/MobileOrg and on the iPhone I set Index File to: /mydir/MobileOrg/index.html It didn't complain when syncing but I got no files on the iPhone (I'd org-mode-push'ed first). Tommy P.S. I've previously had MobileOrg syncing working fine with the files in the default place. So my basic setup appears to be fine. P.P.S. The reason I ask is we use DropBox for Teams. If we had multiple MobileOrg users, then the default setting would cause collisions since all our files would be getting dropped in /MobileOrg. It would be better if we could have the files kept in individualized directories, e.g. within user-specific DB folders. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Tracking time with MobileOrg
Hi Jeff, I'm glad you mentioned this. It is on my list of things to work on next. I still need to coordinate it with Carsten to make sure the approach is sound and that he can support me by updating org-mobile.el. My plan for the UI is this: - Two methods to clock in a new task: First, you can tap and hold on a node, then click the 'Clock in' button. Alternatively, you can open up the node details page and click a similar 'Clock in' button. - To clock out, you can use the same method, but the button would say 'Clock out' instead. Since it would be tedious to find the current clocking item, I'm considering... - A tab/icon at the bottom for Clocking (like the 4 existing icons at the bottom). I may make it optional in the Settings page. If you are clocking, there will be an indicator on the icon letting you know so, perhaps by overlaying the clock time on the icon somehow. - If you click on the clocking icon at the bottom, a list of recently clocked tasks will be shown, with the active one being highlighted. You can stop the running clock, or start the clock on any of your recent items. When you sync and run org-mobile-pull, the time logs would be added to the correct nodes (I'll need Carsten or a volunteer to help me integrate this part). I believe this workflow would make it easy to clock in (either by navigating to the node in the outline, searching for it on the Search page, or identifying a recently clocked item) and clock out. I haven't covered any type of reporting within the app, I was hoping to keep things relatively simple. But if there is a need for this let me know. Perhaps clicking on an entry in the recently clocked list could display the start/stop times and some summary info. Let me know what you think, it would help to have some feedback on the workflow before I begin.

My wife has a need for a simple time tracking application on the iPhone. The only number needed is total hours spent per period (e.g. month) on one task, the full-time job. I use Org Mode for my own worklogs, and would do any necessary pre-templating and post-processing on the resultant Org file, if a rapid-capture strategy can be worked out for MobileOrg. Given how much I use and like Org Mode myself, I'd be really pleased if we can work with Org as a file format for this application, rather than some closed-source app. Thanks, Jeff ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Org-mode screencasts
Hi All, I think it would be helpful to create a series of screencasts to demonstrate Org-mode. The screencasts I've made for MobileOrg[1,2] seem to have helped users get started quickly. There are so many powerful features of Org-mode that are difficult to visualize yourself using until you can see them in action. It may also help draw in new users who otherwise wouldn't quite get it. Some topics that may be interesting: - Org-mode in action, demonstrating common tasks like capture, restructuring a tree, refiling, etc. - Babel - Integration with other tools (Gnus, WL, Firefox, etc) - Clocking/reporting - Export capabilities - Power user showing their streamlined configurations - ...? I'd like to collect all of the videos in one place, unify them with some similar (but simple) production, with each of the videos having a page that links to documentation, Worg, example dotfiles, comments, etc to help the user take it further on their own. I'd be happy to host the videos if bandwidth is a concern on the orgmode.org site. I've also already purchased the necessary software to record/edit the videos. But I'm looking to the community for ideas on topics as well as individuals who would be willing to record the videos or at least help me work up a script with key talking points so I could do the recording and narration. What do you think? Anyone interested in helping?

I've just installed and tested recordmydesktop (based on Russell's recommendation) on my Linux system and it seems to work great. It produces .ogv video files, which will need to be run through ffmpeg or mencode first to be compatible with Vimeo. On my Mac, I used Telestream's ScreenFlow, which has a great set of editing tools built in. I'd like to create a Worg page that will list: - A link to each screencast Each screencast page ideally would contain: - Embedded video - Links to relevent documentation - Material referenced from the video (links to other packages, etc.) - Sample configuration files needed to achieve the results of the video - Subject ideas - Tools needed to record your own, where to upload them, etc. I hope once we get one or two in there, it'll be easy for anyone else who wants to contribute to follow suit. I like the idea of using Vimeo since we may get new users who search for emacs on that site.

The screencasts I've made for MobileOrg[1,2] seem to have helped users get started quickly. There are so many powerful features of Org-mode that are difficult to visualize yourself using until you can see them in action. It may also help draw in new users who otherwise wouldn't quite get it. Some topics that may be interesting: - Org-mode in action, demonstrating common tasks like capture, restructuring a tree, refiling, etc. - Babel - Integration with other tools (Gnus, WL, Firefox, etc) - Clocking/reporting - Export capabilities - Power user showing their streamlined configurations - ...? I'd like to collect all of the videos in one place, unify them with some similar (but simple) production, with each of the videos having a page that links to documentation, Worg, example dotfiles, comments, etc to help the user take it further on their own.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Org-mode screencasts
Erik, thanks for the reminder about folding. I had it in my script and must've lost it in one of the edits. I do prefer making these on the Mac. It makes piecing them together much easier. Recordmydesktop on Linux will do single takes fine, but stitching it together in the end may be a chore. Maybe you guys are good enough to do it all in one take though :) John, you raise good points about what we can expect of the viewer. I'm open to suggestions, in fact maybe a 'Just enough Emacs for Org-mode' intro could help newcomers to Emacs who are here just for Org-mode (like I was a year ago). Some of these issues could also be addressed on the episode's webpage, which would link to relevant docs and info. As far as some of the missing keystrokes, I was trying to find a balance between showing every keystroke (and risk confusing the user), or just show only the keys with modifiers (my 2 options in the tool, unfortunately). I've updated the screencast (same URL) to contain a small bit about folding. Thanks for the comments, I hope we can refine this and make a plan for more as well. -Richard On Sep 23, 2010, at 11:09 PM, John Hendy wrote: Wow, Richard. That was sweet. You even have a pleasing screencaster's voice. My only thought was along the lines of what one should assume about org-mode viewers. Familiarity with emacs? No knowledge of emacs? I only got into emacs because I found org-mode, so my only thought there is that I might not even have known what meta was... I can't recall, but did you clarify meta = alt on Win/Linux and Command on Mac? Stuff like that might be helpful. Obviously these won't all be done on a Mac and some unfamiliar with it might wonder what the Command and carat symbols are on their own keyboards? As Erik said -- folding and perhaps adjusting in and out (meta + left/right). Also, it seems that only the meta or control functions show up as keystrokes. For example, I thought you said M-n s and M-n w to narrow on the tree and then widen the view but I only ever saw one part of that flash on the screen. Great, great job. Loved it and think this is exactly what Org could use. I have a co-worker who just got emacs and org-mode up on his computer and would love to have something this simple and clear-cut. Great work, again.

Is it correct that, on the mobile device, I can only change status, priority tags But I can't add a new *task* or item?? This is correct, you can't modify the outline's structure. The idea is you can edit tasks if you need to (mark as done, edit content, etc) and you can capture new notes. When you get back to your PC and you org-mobile-pull, the changes you made are integrated back into the real org files on your desktop. New notes are added into from-mobile.org for you to refile as you please. You would then org-mobile-push again to make sure the server gets the latest integrated copies. - I'm also confused about file location(s) 1. org-mobile-directory ~/Dropbox/MobileOrg 2. org-mobile-inbox-for-pull ~/git/org/from-mobile.org I've also read that By default all agenda files (as listed in org-agenda-files) are pushed to MobileOrg using Push / Pull Is it then true, that e.g. agenda files located in ~/git/org/ will ALSO by synched to MobileOrg? Sorry, not exactly sure what you mean here, but all files listed in org-agenda-files are 'staged' during org-mobile-push. If you have extra files in ~/git/org/ that aren't in org-agenda-files, they won't be available in MobileOrg. What is the purpose of the Show app badge in Settings on the iPad It was suggested that the app badge indicate outstanding edits you've made that haven't been synced yet. The idea is that you can make some offline edits and click 'Sync' at your convenience. The badge helps you remember to do that. Do you have any plans for a HD version? (iPad) I've been tinkering with a new version that runs on iOS 4 (to support the fast app-switching, which is great by the way) and iPad. There are some tweaks that need to be made still, if anyone wants to volunteer I'd be happy to help :) I think this example configuration might clarify things for you: ;; You should only touch these files, treat them as you normally would (setq org-directory ~/git/org) ;; You should never touch these files with your editor. Org-mobile-push and -pull are responsible for putting files into and pulling files out of this directory. (setq org-mobile-directory ~/Dropbox/MobileOrg) So in your case, it is probably best to empty the contents of ~/Dropbox/MobileOrg, set the variables as described above, then do an org-mobile-push again.

[Orgmode] Re: OrgMobile - just a little help?
Hi Erwin, On Jul 30, 2010, at 10:17 AM, Erwin Panen wrote: Also I have probably difficulty in understanding stage staging could you clarify this some more? When I read stage, I think of on stage or back-stage in terms of a theatre, should I think of staging org files as putting them on the mobile iPhone stage? I think that would be fair to say. The term staging made a bit more sense before Dropbox support was added, since the files were typically staged in a local directory then copied to your WebDAV server. Further to the app badge: Would this then show the number of changes like it shows on the Outlines icon or analoguous to e.g. the Mail icon in the iPhones dock? If yes, on what basis will synching happen ? The badge will show the cumulate count of unsynced edit/new notes, so it will be the sum of the red indicator badges that show up on the Outlines and Capture buttons. When you open the app and press sync, the badge will be cleared. No background syncing happens at all, it is a manual process triggered by pressing the 'Sync' icon on the main Outlines screen. I'm not sure if this is possible at all, but I think it would be extremely helpfull to kind of create a PRE CONFIGURED example setup, say in a temporary LEARNING directory, you could then perhaps fire up emacs using a pre-formatted .emacs file in conjunction with a free Dropbox account as an example. I know it's always easy on the other side to thinker this out, but probably this would not be so easy to do. Just my 2 cents of course. Or elaborate on the video... This is a good idea, I need to make some better videos with instructions of how to get going from the ground up. I hope to do this soon. I'll try to digg a bit further in the functioning of from-mobile.org Is there a way to say ACCEPT a new note, and easily move it into the correct org file? A bit the way remember mode functions? Using templates the same way? This would be interesting, but at present it doesn't do anything fancy.

I like having the save button on the page because it reduces the number of clicks to save the note which can be huge if you are just trying to quickly jot something down. I do, however, need to fix it so that the Save button is always visible. The thing about this particular Activity display is that the text box is always fixed to some percentage of the display... so that the save button would never be off the page but rather the Text box would scroll if you had too much text in it. I may consider adding the save button to a menu once I add more options to the Capture screen (like adding a TODO flag, or Tags) but I think it's most intuitive if the save button is on the display mainly because you can't miss it, some things about Android happen in the background so that if you navigate away from the page it automatically saves the contents... but that's not how this capture page works (and I don't know that I would want it to automatically save if you hit the back button) this allows it to fit into the workflow and makes it obvious that you have to hit the save button to accomplish the save action. These are just my thoughts. As I bake out the Capture system I will certainly revisit it if the flow works better to have it under the 'Menu' action. 73, Matthew W.

I'd urge you to avoid the on-page display in favor of the menu button. If you stick to that the user never needs to remember to scroll down to find the controls and there are just too many ways for the on-page display to be rendered either hard to reach or completely inaccessible. This problem is made worse (especially by contrast with the iPhone) because you don't have full knowledge of the screen dimensions.

Re: [Orgmode] Newbie question: mobileorg and org-mode configuration
Hi Neil, Hope I can shed some light on the configuration for you: - You shouldn't need to set org-mobile-files, afaik. If you just define org-agenda-files, those files will be used (one less thing to maintain). - You don't need the pre/post hooks at all. In your case, just copying the files to /Volumes/nhepburn/org/state/ is enough to put them on the server. (Well, sort of.. eventually it's up to OSX to sync that folder with your iDisk, but that should be automatic, or can be configured to be so). The hooks are for those who need an additional step to copy the staged files from their local system to a remote server. I think this may be good enough, you were almost there.

Re: [Orgmode] Mobile Org and idisk.me.com
Hi Ross, You'll want to set org-mobile-directory to something like /Volumes/rosslaird/org (or wherever your iDisk is mounted, typically under /Volumes/mobilemeusername). You can poke around and find your org folder under /Volumes to identify the precise location. Your iDisk folder should then sync with MobileMe either automatically when it sees a change, or periodically if you have it configured to only sync every N minutes, and you should be in business. The /scp (and ssh variants) use TRAMP, which connects over SSH to your server to copy the files. iDisk doesn't support this, so you'll need to use the alternate approach above. If you have any trouble, let me know. Thanks, Richard On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 1:47 PM, Ross A.

Re: [Orgmode] MobileOrg and mydisk.se
Hi Henri-Paul, MyDisk.se doesn't provide SSH/SCP access to your files, so you'll need to use another method to get your files onto their WebDAV server. On OSX, a Cmd+K in Finder will let you mount a WebDAV share in /Volumes/name. On Linux, there is a FUSE plugin (davfs2) that will let you mount the share wherever you'd like. You would then point your staging directory in your org configuration to the mount point. Hope this helps, I've personally tried the Finder method in OSX, and I've had several users report success with davfs2. -Richard On Sat, Feb 6, 2010 at 5:38 PM, Henri-Paul Indiogine hindiog...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings!

Re: [Orgmode] org-mobile-push and agenda IDs
Hi Tom, They are not required, but they eliminate potential problems that may be encountered with the simple path-based node identification scheme. The risk level is fairly low, and you should be fine with the force option disabled. The path-based id scheme fails if you have this: * Parent ** A name *** A node you didn't edit ** A name *** A node you edited The path to the node you edited is ambiguous and will cause a sync conflict. As long as you keep this in mind, you should be fine.

Re: [Orgmode] [mobileorg] mobileorg.org empty on webdav, mobileorg still showing items
Hi Marcelo, On Nov 19, 2009, at 12:19 PM, Marcelo de Moraes Serpa wrote: This one relates to the capture feature. When I capture on orgmobile and sync, the notes go to the mobileorg.org file. When I do a org-mobile-pull from emacs, emacs takes all these items and copy them to from_mobile.org, emptying mobileorg.org. Just after that, @mobileorg, if I sync again, the capture view still shows the items I captured, however, since mobileorg.orgis empty, I don't think they should be shown there. You should do a push operation after a pull. The push operation will update the checksum file and let MobileOrg know to fetch your updated mobileorg.org file (which should now be empty). A push will almost always make sense to do after you've pulled and fully integrated your mobile changes. Also, I have noted that when I capture something new, the capture icon is decorated with a number icon that shows the number fo the new notes I have taken. When I sync, this icon disappears, but the old notes are still shown. Am I missing something in here? The red counter badges indicate changes that have been made that need syncing (like count of new notes since the last sync, or in the case of the Outlines tab, number of edits waiting to be synced). They do not indicate the number of notes you've captured, though this may sometimes happen to be the same.

Re: [Orgmode] [orgmobile] the role of the index.org file
org-mobile-push creates index.org for you automatically.

Re: [Orgmode] [orgmobile] the role of the index.org file
Unfortunately you've crossed out of iPhone app territory and into the Emacs side where I can't help you very much. My (hacky) solution would be to use a 'org-mobile-post-push-hook' to run a sed command on the generated index.org file to do your substitution. I think this should work, but I'm sure there is a much smarter way to do it. There's an example that scp's the generated files here: http://orgmode.org/manual/Setting-up-the-staging-area.html#Setting-up-the-staging-area You would probably do the same, except use a sed command instead of scp (since your files are staged directly to your mounted WebDAV folder). -Richard On Nov 19, 2009, at 1:02 PM, Marcelo de Moraes Serpa wrote: Thanks again, Richard.

You will need to place lines like the following in the Org-file you link to from MobileOrg (typically index.org): #+TODO: TODO | DONE #+TODO: INVOICE SENT | RECEIVED This will let MobileOrg known which words to highlight as keywords, and whether they should be red or green (todo or done).

[Orgmode] MobileOrg beta tester invitation
Hi, So it took a little bit longer than I expected, but we are now ready to accept beta testers to help finalize MobileOrg before submitting it to the App Store. There are some issues that still need polish, but we are nearly feature complete. There are several ways you can help: * Bugs: Please report any bugs or confusing behavior in the app. * Documentation: Located on the app's website. It is brand new and there are bound to be some confusing or incomplete sections. * Website: The app's website may have problems too, perhaps it doesn't look right in your browser. Please report any of these issues. * Ideas: We are trying to keep the feature set tight for the 1.0 release in order to get it out there to everyone. However, new ideas are always welcome. If you'd like to help us get to 1.0 smoothly, please send me an email off-list with your device ID. To retrieve your device ID: 1. Connect your iPod or iPod Touch to your machine 2. Choose your device in the source list in iTunes 3. Click the 'Summary' tab in iTunes. 4. Click on the 'Serial Number' label. It should change to 'Identifier'. 5. Click on the Edit menu, then select 'Copy' 6. Paste the device ID in an email to me. Alternatively, search for 'UDID Sender' by 'Inside Root Media' in the App Store. It is a small app that will simply email your device ID to an email address of your choice. I'll reply with further instructions to help you get started.

Re: [Orgmode] iPhone app for Org view and capture
Hi Peter, You nailed nearly point-for-point the current state of capturing notes in the app (as of today, after the demo video was made). Thanks for your comments, I hadn't considered displaying the last sync time. That will indeed be handy. As you imagined, you can operate entirely offline (that was my goal in the first place, after all). You can view your outlines, add as many notes as you like, and sync whenever you care to. You can edit/delete notes if they haven't been synced yet. There's also a handy indicator on the bottom of the screen letting you know how many notes aren't yet synced.

A way of reviewing the stored notes, possibly edit or remove them would be a bonus. I could imagine that captured but not yet forwarded notes appear in the 'capture.org' document entry (on the App), marked as not- forwarded and being editable and removable. After syncing, these notes become part of the real capture.org document and thus read- only, just like the rest. Oh well, you probably thought of all that, so I'll just shut up now...
