Strategic time planing: Breaking down EFFORT property
Hi everybody My aim is to create workload plans distributing large projects over several months. These are considered to distribute the total effort of several projects into monthly, weekly and daily planing. I cannot figure out how to do this. Guess I have two projects, both with a deadline at the end of the year, one project has a time estimate of 100 hours, the second 50 hours: * Project 1 :PROPERTIES: :EFFORT: 100:00 :END: DEADLINE: <2023-12-24> * Project 2 :PROPERTIES: :EFFORT: 50:00 :END: DEADLINE: <2023-12-24> In order to get them done in time, I would assign a certain workload to the three months Oct, Nov, Dec. Say, with an unequal distribution: Project 1: Oct: 54 hours Nov: 16 hours Dec: 30 hours Project 2: Oct: 10 hours Nov: 25 hours Dec: 15 hours Now, it is the beginning of the first week of October. I make my weekly planning and decide to spent 15 hours of this week with Project 1 and 5 with Project two. Today I would want to work on Project 1 for 4 hours, 3 on Project 2. I'm clocking in to Project 1, setting a org-clock-alarm to remind me when it is time to switch to Project 2: * Project 1 :PROPERTIES: :EFFORT_TOTAL: 100:00 :EFFORT_THIS_MONTH: 54 :EFFORT_THIS_WEEK: 15 :EFFORT_TODAY: 4 :CLOCK_MODELINE_TOTAL: today :END: DEADLINE: <2023-12-24> * Project 2 :PROPERTIES: :EFFORT_TOTAL: 50:00 :EFFORT_THIS_MONTH: 10 :EFFORT_THIS_WEEK: 5 :EFFORT_TODAY: 3 :CLOCK_MODELINE_TOTAL: today :END: DEADLINE: <2023-12-24> Does anybody have an idea how to realize this scenario? Is there a solution that I overlook? I'm not a elisp programmer and have just started to use org-clock, but to me the solution seems to involve breaking down the EFFORT property into several sub-properties as shown above. Of course, each project has several sub-tasks feeding the EFFORT_TODAY property. Thanks for help, Sven -- Sven Bretfeld Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies NTNU Trondheim
Re: How to produce an org-ref citation from ivy-bibtex
Hi John Thank you very much again. Elegant solution, and it works. I just wonder why I seem to be the only one on the list who had that problem. Am I so out of fashion to use org-ref and ivy/helm-bibtex together? I have been doing that for surely 10 years but had to stick with an old version of org-ref until recently (because of a completely different problem that I will post in another thread).

How to produce an org-ref citation from ivy-bibtex
Hi everybody Is it at all possible to produce a correct org-ref citation format from ivy-bibtex (or helm-bibtex, I tried both)? What I mean by "correct" is the format: [[cite:]]. The problem seems to come down to the question what has to be inserted in the 2nd line here: (setq bibtex-completion-format-citation-functions '((org-mode . ??) (latex-mode. bibtex-completion-format-citation-cite) (markdown-mode . bibtex-completion-format-citation-pandoc-citeproc) (default . bibtex-completion-format-citation-default))) (A) Not setting the variable at all, defaults to producing an ebib link which is of no use to me at all. (B) Putting org-ref-helm-bibtex-insert-citation here (as found on reddit) does not work, since the function does not seem to exist anymore. (C) Putting org-ref-insert-cite-link here is obviously wrong. Choosing that from the list of ivy-bibtex-actions, just calls the function interactively, you have to search for the bib-entry again and the resulting link looks like: [[cite:]]^&. The terminating '^&' obviously makes subsequent LaTeX-exports fall. (D) Putting "bibtex-completion-format-citation-org-cite" here, produces standard org-links: [cite:@citekey]. These are not correctly exported to a tex file when the org-ref package is loaded. The only working solution I have found is to use org-ref's own cite function org-ref-insert-cite-link. I know that ivy-bibtex can be set as backend (require 'org-ref-ivy). But in this way ivy-bibtex's other actions (like opening an associated PDF or note file) are lost. It would be nice to be able to use a SINGLE key-binding to select a bib-entry and then decide what to do with it (insert org reference, insert tex reference, open pdf, etc.). This was possible earlier (I did that for years with older versions of org-ref-helm) but is apparently no longer possible now. Many thanks for help and suggestions, Sven

Links to external targets with (or despite) org-ref
Hi everybody
I'm looking to create labels/links to specific text positions in org
files (not line number, not header).
I know that [[file:~/path_to_file::target]] can be used to jump to
<>. That would be fine and works for me -- IF I write the link
manually.
However, org-ref which I use for citations seems to overwrite the
default behaviour of org-store-link and org-insert-link. So when the
point is on <> and org-store-link is called (C-c l), I get a
prompt "Store link with (default org-ref-store-ref)". No alternatives
are offered when TAB is hit. Hiting RET saves the link as
"Crefrange:target". A corresponding org-insert-link (C-c C-l) produces
a link of the form [[Crefrange:target]] which, when in another file,
of course leads nowhere ("search failed"). How to get the file name
into these links without manually rewriting the link?
I couldn't find anything on this issue in the org-ref manual or on the
internet.
Thanks for help,
Sven

Works like a charm! Almost perfect. Thank you very much. One problem: For some reason the :ignoreheading: tag causes the PROPERTY drawer to be exported. So every paragraph starts with the org-brain ID of the node. I have the option prop:nil set in the file but it is ignored for nodes containing the :ignoreheading: tag. Same for other properties like CATEGORY. I saw properties unexpectedly exported already yesterday, before I had your code. It went away after I inserted the prop:nil option. But now it's back. Some changes in a recent update that I'm unaware of? > One caveat: the subtree content inherits behaviour from the previous > headline.

Hiding a node title in export but not the content
Hi everybody Is this possible? ** headline <-- not exported :PROPERTIES: <-- not exported Some content. <-- exported The reason is that I use to finely pre-structure articles, starting with org-brain and gradually developing each node into a paragraph of the article. So basically each argumentative or informative block is an individual org-node. In this way paragraphs of the article can be kept mobile during the writing process and they can easily be moved when I decide to restructure the text. In a LaTeX export of the draft, each node-name is, of course, interpreted as a section/subsection title, leaving me with dozens of headlines for a 10-paper draft. Very disturbing while proof-reading. This is why I'm looking for a way to exclude the headlines from the export. They should be interpreted as a blank line, so that LaTeX simply makes a new paragraph. It would be even better if the node names can be converted to margin text instead of completely hiding them. This would be a great orientation help without distracting the reading flow. Thanks for ideas, Sven -- Sven Bretfeld Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies NTNU Trondheim
Re: [O] Feature request: Maintaining multiple init files with one org file
Hi Eric So all in all I feel that there is a demand for my suggestion. Orgmode has the power to yield a real good solution for centralized init file maintenance, but at the moment we have to help ourselves with workarounds. Tag-filtering for tangling functions would be the best way to go in the future. I'm not a programmer, otherwise I would try to implement this. For now I can only hope that somebody competent would do it. For the time being, here is my workaround which I developed inspired by Amin's approach. I describe everything for whoever else is looking for a similar solution: , ~/aktuell/emacs/emacs-config.org | | * Init File | ** Hostname Identification |This section defines variables for all use cases: Some code is needed |only for one machine, some for a sub-group (e.g. all computers |running Linux or all computers having large monitors etc.), some for all computers. | |#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle (if allhosts "~/.emacs") |;; variable for my PC at home |(defvar homepc nil) ;; variable for my PC at home |(if (string-match (system-name) "hostname-home") ;<--- set your hostname here |(setq homepc t)) | |;; variable for my PC at office |(defvar officepc nil) |(if (string-match (system-name) "hostname-office") ;<--- set your hostname here |(setq officepc t)) | |;; variable for my laptop |(defvar laptop nil) |(if (string-match (system-name) "hostname-laptop") ;<--- set your hostname here |(setq laptop t)) | |;; variable for Termux/Android |(defvar andr nil) |(if (string-match (system-name) "localhost") ;<--- Termux uses "localhost" |(setq andr t)) | |;; variable for all desktop machines together (i.e. home+office in my case) |(defvar pcs nil) |(if (string-match (system-name) "hostname-home\|hostname-office") <--- set your hostnames here |(setq pcs t)) | |;; variable for all GNU/Linux machines together (home+office+laptop) |(defvar allgnu nil) |(if (string-match (system-name) "hostname-home\|hostname-office\|hostname-laptop") <--- set your hostnames here |(setq allgnu t)) | |;; variable for all machines together (home+office+laptop+Android) |(defvar allhosts nil) |(if (string-match (system-name) "hostname-home\|hostname-office\|hostname-laptop\|localhost") |(setq allhosts t)) | #+end_src | ** Startup File | *** Linux | The code in this section is needed for the init files on all | computers running GNU/Linux (variable: allgnu) | #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle (if allgnu "~/.emacs") | (defun tangle-init () |"If the current buffer is 'emacs-config.org' the code-blocks are | tangled, and the tangled file is compiled." |(when (equal (buffer-file-name) | (expand-file-name "~/aktuell/emacs/emacs-config.org"));<---put name of this file here | ;; Avoid running hooks when tangling. | (let ((prog-mode-hook nil)) |(org-babel-tangle | | (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'tangle-init) | #+end_src | *** Android | The code in this section is needed only for emacs running on Android | (variable: andr). | #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle (if andr "~/.emacs") | (defun tangle-init () |"If the current buffer is 'emacs-config.org' the code-blocks are | tangled, and the tangled file is compiled." |(when (equal (buffer-file-name) | (expand-file-name | "/sdcard/Aktuell/emacs/emacs-config.org"));<---put name of this file with the Android path here | ;; Avoid running hooks when tangling. | (let ((prog-mode-hook nil)) |(org-babel-tangle | | (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'tangle-init) | #+end_src | | * Other configurations whatsoever | ... | ` Every section of source-code starts with: `#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle' and a lisp expression assigning the following source code section to one of the defined variables (homepc, officepc, laptop, andr, pcs, allgnu or allhosts). The code will then end up in the actual init file (~/.emacs) only if the present machine belongs to the respective group, i.e. if this variable is non-nil for it. If the variable is nil, the code section will be ignored on the respective machine. All you have to do is to sync this file to each machine, visit it on each and save it again (which triggers the generation of the .emacs file). Every piece of source code needs to have one of these expressions (actually "allhosts" could do without, since it is the default case if you have headline_args set as shown in my initial email). This is a bit more clumsy than it would be if we could use org tags but it's easier and clearer than including hundreds of if-conditions to the code itself. Thank y
Re: [O] Feature request: Maintaining multiple init files with one org file

This is pretty much how I do it at the moment. Complexity is indeed the problem here. I have Emacs also running on an Android tablet under Termux. This one needs quite a lot of adjustments to the init file. Already the paths to the org files and to some non-elpa/melpa packages are different. Other packages are not available on Termux (e.g. aspell) or not meaningful at all (X-related stuff, mu4e etc.). Having the same init file here as on the other computers, would easily end up in a mess of IFs and WHENs (and probably slow down the start process on Android). At the moment I have a separate .emacs for the tablet and have to remember changing this file, for ex. whenever I include a new file in the org-agenda-files list. This could be much more tidy with an org approach. > For me this is just 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. YMMV.

I'm trying to use customize as little as possible, since AFAIK there is no way to let customize use an org file instead of a "real" init file. Sven
[O] Feature request: Maintaining multiple init files with one org file
Hi I don't know how you guys maintain init files for different hosts. I have one org-file with the header: #+PROPERTY: header-args :tangle ~/.emacs The file is synced to all my machines and produces the local init files on each. Most configurations are shared, but some are host-specific (e.g. font size). Sadly export filtering does not work with the tangle function. It would be nice to be able to do something like: , | * Default Frame | ** Office Computer:OFFICE: | #+begin_src emacs-lisp | (setq default-frame-alist '( | (font . "-PfEd-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-26-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1") | (width . 102) | (height . 41)) | #+end_src | | ** Computer at home :HOME: | #+begin_src emacs-lisp | (setq default-frame-alist '( | (font . "-PfEd-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-18-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1") | (width . 150) | (height . 50)) | #+end_src | | ** Laptop :LAPTOP: | #+begin_src emacs-lisp | (setq default-frame-alist '( | (font . "-PfEd-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1") | (width . 80) | (height . 30)) | #+end_src ` It should be clear what this is about. On the office computer you would prepare the file headers to exclude the tags HOME and LAPTOP from being tangled and, after saving/tangling the file, you would have a nice init file suiting this computer. At home the same by excluding the other tags etc. This would save a lot of work and you would have a tidy way to maintain all your init files without (if (string-equal (system-name) clauses. If the noexport tag worked, it would also save a lot of time and mess when debugging your init file in case of an error. I don't actually understand why the developers decided not to implement export filtering in the tangling operations. I know about the COMMENT keyword, but the above example should make clear that this solution is far from handy. Maybe there is another way that escaped me so far? All best, Sven
[O] Superagenda selector ":priority" matches only deadlines
Hi
This can't be a feature. The org-super-agenda selector ":priority"
matches no entries except those that have a deadline.
Example:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
(quote (
(" " "Super Agenda View" (
(agenda "" ((org-agenda-span 'day)
(org-super-agenda-groups
'((:name "Today "
:time-grid t
:date today
:scheduled today
:order 1)
(:name "Important "
:priority "A"
:order 2)
< more to follow
The 2nd block should match every item with "A" priority. Instead, of the
group:
* TODO [#A] Test 1
DEADLINE: <2018-07-23 Mo>
* TODO [#A] Test 2
SCHEDULED: <2018-07-20 Fr>
* TODO [#A] Test 3
* TODO [#B] Test 4
DEADLINE: <2018-07-21 Sa>
... only the first item (Test 1) is displayed.
Bug or weird feature? Todos having top priority without having a
deadline is a common use case, right?

[O] Org-Brain: Second level headline?
Hi I'm not sure if I misunderstood a feature or if this is a bug or setup problem. In org-brain one has two possibilities to create new children to a node: 1. org-brain-add-child (f) --> creates a new org-file 2. org-brain-new-child (h) --> creates a new headline The problem is that only 1st-level headlines are shown in org-brain-visualize. Shouldn't all headline levels be visualized? Example: >From a file called Software.org, looking like this: , Software.org | #+BRAIN_PARENTS: Manuals | | * Emacs | ** org-mode | ** AucTeX | * Gimp | * Vivaldi ` org-brain-visualize shows (as expected): , | Manuals | | | ▽ | Software | | Emacs Gimp Vivaldi ` The word Emacs should be a node showing the children "org-mode" and "AucTeX". But it shows only its parent and siblings when clicked, no children become visible: , | +-Gimp | Software-+-Vivaldi | | | ▽ | Emacs ` Org-Brain would be great for organizing the writing process of article and book projects etc. The final text could gradually grow out from mindmap'ish structures. But org-brain's multiple-files approach goes against it. You can't export an article from hundreds of org files, can you? So it should be possible to organize a complex "brain" (the article-to-be) in a single file with several headline levels (representing the network of information from which the text-body will gradually grow). Thanks to the developer. Great piece of software and a fantastic idea.

[O] Inline notes and alignment
Hi everybody Since some months ago the body of inline notes is no longer automatically aligned correctly. This is what is expected: *** Header - cursor goes here *** END This is what happens instead: *** Header - cursor goes here *** END If I align the text body manually with whitespaces, is gets correctly aligned for further text or list items produced with M-RET. But this is annoying. I don't know if I changed any configuration or if it came with an update. Until half a year ago, the cursor was correctly placed below the header immediately after producing an inline note with C-c C-x t. Any ideas? Thanks Sven
[O] Problems with org-drill
Hi I don't know how many of you guys use org-drill as vocabulary learning software. I have started some weeks ago to learn Norwegian. The concept and flexibility of the extension (contrib) are great. But there is a problem (bug?). During drill-sessions empty cards continue to show up. About 30-40% of the questions show an empty screen. These empty screens are fully counted as cards in the mini-buffer counter. I use to skip those "cards" with "s" but I have the feeling that this skips real questions which just are not displayed properly. This would mean I'm creating knowledge-gaps in each session. Editing these cards with "e" doesn't seems to work. It only stops the drill-session with the point in the line where I started. There seems to be no rule involved in those "empty screens" showing up. (But I have the feeling they often occur after I give a card score (0-5) differing from the score of the last question.) Neither can I see that there are malformed entries which could explain the phenomenon. Does anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

You can just use a cronjob like: */10 * * * * emacs --batch --load ~/.emacs --eval "(org-mobile-pull)" --eval "(org-mobile-push)" This executes the whole process in the background with another instance of emacs running in batch-mode.

This is great! I'd have never thought about this. Works perfectly.

Check the export > options at the top of the help window when you type "C-c C-e ?" Hmm. Not sure how this is actually working. (By the way C-c C-e ? does not work for me [orgmode 8.3.1 on Emacs 24.5.1, ArchLinux]). What I have tried now: ,test.org | | * TODO Write Article on Test | ** Title of the Article | *** First Chapter | First Section of First Chapter | Some Text. Some Text. Some Text. Some Text. Some Text. Some Text. Some | Text. Some Text. Some Text. Some Text. Some Text. Some Text. Some | Text. | *** NEXT Find books on tests :@library: | *** END | ` This works if I export the subtree with the mark somewhere in the 2nd line. Otherwise the export would be reduced to the subtree I'm in. The 2nd line must necessarily contain the article title. This makes the #+TITLE header superfluous. I could live with such a structure. Even if it means that the first level of sectioning corresponds to the third org level. What annoys me more, is the necessity to jump to the 2nd line of the file before doing an export. Is there a way around this? Maybe by configuring which subtree to export, no matter where the mark currently is? Is that what you meant with the EXPORT property definition? Anyway, thanks for your help. You brought me a good step further. The rest is a matter of making the solution more convenient.

What happens? If I do it that way, each inline-task is treated as a standalone task, not as subtask of a larger project. One of the strengths of Bernt Hansen's setup is the possibility to narrow down the agenda to a specific project and have only its next steps and other subtasks displayed. A project is defined as a headline with TODO keyword which has at least one sublevel headline also containing a TODO keyword. An inline-task inside a standard article structure has no higher level task which would count as the project subsuming the inline-tasks as subtasks. At the moment I'm using this solution: * TODO Introduction Text. * NEXT Something 1 * END * TODO Chapter 1 Text. TODO Something 2 END But this makes "Introduction" and "Chapter 1" individual projects and assigns a single subtask to each named "Something 1" and "Something 2". For a book this can easily sum up to 20 different "projects" (i.e. chapters) which mess up the agenda-view and the work-flow. What would work is: * TODO Write book on XY ** Introduction Text. * NEXT Something 1 * END ** Chapter 1 Text. TODO Something 2 END But this collides with the export, as it turns the chapters into subchapters. So "Introduction" would be 1.1 instead of 1. Furthermore, this is confusing while working on the file. Therefore I was asking if it's possible to assign a TODO keyword to the file itself via a header which would, then, play the role of the project definition subsuming the inline-tasks as subtasks. The only other way would be a redefinition of what a project is. But my lisp knowledge is by far overstrained with this. Basically I'm happy with the TODO-subTODO approach. So it must be a complimentary definition saying basically: "All TODO lines in file xy.org are treated as subtasks to the project `Write book on XY'". > Is the issue, in your case, that the noexport tag on the inlinetasks is > ignored? If so, you could simply define the org-latex-format-inlinetask > function I have above to do nothing? No, that's not the problem. I, too, include them in the export when I need them printed.

[O] Using the file as 1st level headline
Hi all Is it possible to have a file header which is counted as a first level headline? If that sounds weird, this is what I like to do: I'm using Bernt Hansen's setup of orgmode for GTD (http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html). In this setup a project is defined as each headline which has a TODO keyword AND has sublevel tasks also containing a TODO keyword: * TODO Project ** NEXT step 1 ** TODO step 2 ** TODO step 3 Now, I'm using org to write scientific books and articles. Therefore, I want to use 1st level headlines as section titles for LaTeX export. Of course, not every section is an individual project---the article in total is the project and its doable steps are defined by inline tasks. So, what I want to do is something like this: , xy.org | | #+TITLE: XY | #+AUTHOR: Sven Bretfeld | #+HEADLINE: TODO Write article on XY | #+CATEGORY: XY article | #+EXCLUDE_TAGS: noexport | | * Introduction and Methodology | Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some | text. Some text. | * NEXT Write summary of Smith's thesis @office:noexport: | * END | Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some | text. Some text. | * TODO Look up other theories @library:noexport: | * END | ` The purpose is making org-export print the pure article (no TODOs, all headlines are sections, subsections etc.) while making org-agenda say: ,Org Agenda | | Projects | TODO Write article on XY | Project Next Tasks | XY article: NEXT Write summary of Smith's thesis @office:noexport: | Project Subtasks | XY article: TODO Look up other theories@library:noexport: | ` Is that possible?

Find below an error report, that comes after some seconds (sometimes a minute) during the initial sync. The minibuffer displays Reading 543 Bytes for some time, then it breaks with the error-message. Neither the files, nor GoogleCalendar show any changes afterwards (e.g. no IDs are created in testlocalcal.org). I'm hoping that I can get this to work.

Re: [O] Using non-org files as agenda files?
Hello Samuel and Eric Thank you for your suggestions. I have tried In-Place Annotations in the meantime. However, that doesn't work because every line of annotation begins with a hard-coded :, which breaks the orgmode markup. [Hm, now, I'm just thinking about the possibility to simply replace that by * in the el.] Switching to babel might be a solution. I will try it. At the moment I'm using org-annotate-file with similar results as Samuel's suggestion would yield. Org-annotate-file didn't work for me in the past, because it didn't recognize the exact line in the associated document (org-annotate-file-add-search) for any reason. But now it works. Anyway, this package is not able to display an annotation within the original file (what In-Place Annotations can do).

[O] Using non-org files as agenda files?
Dear all Is it anyhow possible to use a .tex file as an org-agenda-file? This might seem a silly question. The reason is that I stick to auctex for writing my documents. But it would be nice to be able to insert a todo item directly at an appropriate place within a tex-file and have it integrated in org-agenda-view. Maybe this can be done by a workaround using ipa.el (in-place annotations) and setting an orgmode file as ipa-file? Any experiences? Thanks Sven

Hi
It took me a good hour to find the package that produced the problem.
It's org-depend. I narrowed down my .emacs to a minimum:
(add-to-list 'load-path ~/elisp/org)
(add-to-list 'load-path ~/elisp/org/lisp)
(require 'org-install)
(add-to-list 'load-path ~/elisp/org/contrib/lisp)
(require 'org-depend)
(setq org-agenda-files (list ~/myconf/mygtd.org ~/myconf/googlecalendar.org
~/myconf/from-mobile.org ~/myconf/diary.org
~/aktuell/orthodoxy/hab-diary.org))
(global-set-key \C-ca 'org-agenda)
When I comment out the fifth line (require 'org-depend), everything is
fine. With org-depend loaded, a org-tags-view keywords={Something}
affects the buffers of some of the open org-agenda-files. I still don't
know why only some files are affected. It happens only if actually some
matches are found by the query. But it's not only the corresponding
files which are corrupted.
So, I think org-depend needs some revision. It's a useful package, but
this bug is annoying.
Sven
P.S. I had updated to the latest stable version of orgmode, so it's not
an obsolete bug.

[O] [Sticky Agenda] How to create Agenda Buffers in functions
Hi all The Sticky Agenda is something I have been waiting for since a long time. Thank you very much! I want to write a function that creates a new frame with several windows, each displaying a different Agenda Views. I fail to find a function that creates special agenda views. Formerly I used org-batch-agenda for similar purposes. But that doesn't work in the sticky branch. This is what I have: (defun my-gtd-frame () (interactive) (save-excursion) (make-frame '( (name . gtd) (active-alpha . 0.75) (inactive-alpha. 0.8) (top . 110) (left . 2000) (width . 80) (height. 40) (font . -Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--18-180-75-75-M-110-ISO8859-1))) (select-frame-by-name gtd) (toggle-fullscreen) (org-agenda-goto-today) (delete-other-windows) (split-window-horizontally) (other-window 1) (org-batch-agenda OFFICE/NEXT) ) Calling this function should create a fullscreen Emacs frame on my second monitor vertically split into two windows. The upper window should display the week-agenda (org-agenda-goto-today), the lower window should contain a special-agenda-view showing all items with the todo-keyword NEXT and the tag OFFICE. Everything works as expected until it comes to the last line. org-batch-agenda seems not to be the correct function to be called here. The minibuffer says: No catch for tag: exit, nil. Can anybody help? Thanks Sven

The actual fix for the bug will be similar and will be wrapping bodies of (org-todo-list) (org-tags-list) and friends with (catch 'exit), but it needs to be done conditionally as to only do it its called individually and not from (org-agenda) I see.

[O] MobileOrg for Android 0.8.0
Hi Matthew, hi to all Thank you very much for MobileOrg 0.8. It has improved very much since the last update. Really good work. I have a few questions. 1. Calendar Sync doesn't seem to work on my device. I chose one of my GoogleCalendars to sync to. But the Test item I created didn't show up in the stock calendar app, even after a while. Do I have to create a new calendar to sync to? Or is it necessary to trigger syncing somehow? On the other hand, if a GoogleCalendar is fine, will it sync to the GoogleCalendar proper? 2. Is it now possible to edit org-files within MobileOrg, i.e. actually use MobileOrg as an editor for papers in orgmode? In the past I had occasions where edits were swallowed after syncing. Now, I added just one sentence to an existing org-file in 0.8. It worked! So, is it save to entrust long text-edits to MobileOrg? 3. Would it be possible (in the long run) to have TAGS as a pop-up to choose from in the Capture feature? Just like TODO keywords? Thanks again, Sven
Re: [O] how do scientists use org mode?
Hi Christoph For my scientific work (I'm an Indologist) I use orgmode in three ways: 1. _Project planning and calendar management_ That's just the normal thing. I use the GTD approach, extended by some specialties like the tags :BIGROCK: (most important project to work on this week) and :MIT: (most important thing of the day). 2. _Writing papers_ To me this is one of the most important powers of orgmode: work on papers and have Todos inserted into the text directly. So, if you have referenced a book but you don't have it at hand at the moment, you can do: This is a paraphrase you need a reference for (Smith 2009: ??). TODO Check the page in Smith's book :LIBRARY: I always add files with draft papers to org-agenda-files. Next time I'm at the library and have MobileOrg with me, the Todo shows up and I can check the book. I know of no other wordprocessor or editor which can do this. 3. _Collecting reference material_ Whenever I read a book (since some months I usually read ebooks or pdfs on my tablet), I find passages I need for present or future papers. With the ezReader app (Android) you can mark these passages and send them to MobileOrg. When I come home, the new material has already synced and waits to be tagged and refiled. I use org-files for each paper I'm working on as databases for references. The header is a short description of the content of each reference. Keywords and bibliographic data are put into drawers that can be queried. I have an Emacs macro that automatically transforms the raw entry into the right markup. Welcome to org Sven GMX Christoph 13 christoph...@gmx.net writes: Hi this is my first post here and although I am evaluating org mode with great interest, I am also asking myself in which way other scientists are making use of org mode. It will take a while to get my head around how to accomplish certain things in org mode but for the moment I am intrigued by *why* one would want to approach the problem of organizing one's research with org mode and in which way. Are you putting exclusively your todos in, well, your todo file and perhaps keep project-related things, such as data and progress, notes, ideas etc. somewhere else? Or do you embed your notes and todos within their original context, i.e. is org mode your one-stop solution for data management? Do you maintain a separate file for every major project you are responsible for or involved in or throw everything into one or few humungous files and differentiate using hierarchies and tags? In the past I have hit some road blocks not so much with other softwares but rather concepts such as GTD, which I think is tailored to the needs of people outside science, so I would deeply appreciate your views and experience. If this list is geared towards the proximate aspects of development and less towards philosophy of usage, I apologize Christoph

Dear Simon Thank you very much for publishing this script. I have no time to test it right now, but I will do so in a few days. Sven Simon Thum simon.t...@gmx.de writes: Hi all, I've written an iCalendar import script in ruby (I know, not emacs lisp, but at the least I should let you be aware). I think it's an improvement over the awk script, so you may consider mentioning it in the appropriate places. See https://github.com/simonthum/ical2org It has more complete iCalendar support, in particular repeating dates and Todos. Likely it is easier to adapt to individual requirements. Also, it works under windows and linux - my win32 awk was missing key functionality for the script (mktimestamp, IIRC). I'm not particularly attached to CC-BY or github, so if you think a more appropriate long-term place would be orgmode.org then we'll probably find a way. It's in its early stages, for example I'm quite unsure about the timezone support, so feedback is more than welcome! Cheers, Simon

You will find Matt Lundin's Advanced searching tutorial invaluable: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/advanced-searching.html Org has some basic support for multivalue properties, mainly for editing (getting, putting, adding, removing) and also a membership test. See the manual: [[info:org#Using%20the%20property%20API]] Note that unlike your example setup, the values are not comma-separated. The multivalue support does not, as far as I remember, extend to match expressions for searches etc. This would probably be non-trivial to implement.

[O] [feature request] Org as an Excerpt Database (or Multivalue Properties)
Hi all Is it possible to give a property more than one value? I have an org file with a collection of citations and I want to give them a number of keywords. For example: * Ethics of a Hacker's Life :PROPERTIES: :author: Richard Stallmann :source: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/r/richard_stallman.html :keywords: money, code-writing, career, ethics :END: I could have made money this way, and perhaps amused myself writing code. But I knew that at the end of my career, I would look back on years of building walls to divide people, and feel I had spent my life making the world a worse place. A property search for code-writing should match this citation and all others with this property. An additional search for career should narrow the matches down. But orgmode understands money, ... ethics as ONE value, not FOUR. That's the problem. Of course, this could be done with Tags, but with more than four or five tags the line would become unreadable. It would also be possible to have several properties keyword_1: money, keyword_2: code-writing etc. But then property searches would be useless (because sometimes you have money as keyword_1, sometimes as keyword_2 or keyword_15). *Why I consider this a worthwhile feature request:* It is meant for authors or researchers. When I read something, I use to make and collect excerpts of passages I find useful or interesting. When writing an article or book, this excerpt-collection can be queried like a database for certain keywords in order to find what you have read on the topic. I think that many of us could use such a possibility. This should be a fairly easy thing to do with orgmode. Is there already a module capable of doing what I want? Thanks Sven
[O] Viewing all entries of a file in Agenda
Hi all I have written an org-agenda-custom-command for a daily review of my dates and todos. It contains several todos and tags as block-agendas. The last block should tell me if there are new items to be refiled in a certain file which I use as an Inbox (synced from MobileOrg). I cannot find the proper command for this. (D Daily Review ((agenda ((org-agenda-ndays 1))) (todo WAITING) (todo DELEGATED) (tags PROJECT) (stuck ) (tags BIGROCK) (tags MIT) (tags OFFICE/NEXT) (tags HOME/NEXT) (tags PHONE/NEXT) (tags READING/NEXT) (tags WRITING/NEXT) (tags ((org-agenda-files '(~/Dropbox/myconf/from-mobile.org)) It is the last line that puzzles me. If I have it like above, every call of this agenda is interrupted by the question which tag I want to query for. Hitting RET does what I want, namely displaying all headlines of the file. How is that possible without Emacs asking me? The file can contain different todo-keywords and tags or none at all. I want to display everything. Thanks for a hint Sven
Re: [O] What do you use to identify projects (in the GTD sense)
Hi Bernt Bernt Hansen be...@norang.ca writes: http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#Projects Wow, that is a WONDERFUL page you shared with us. Thank you very much! It will cost me hours go through it and see what I can implement for my setup. Can't you think about others' time before posting such great stuff? Here is my setup and workflow: I'm quite an orthodox GTD user with one exception: I blended two concepts of ZTD (Zen to Done http://zenhabits.net/zen-to-done-ztd-the-ultimate-simple-productivity-system/) which is a mix of GTD and other systems. What I took from it is the two tags :MIT: (Most important thing of the day) and :BIGROCK: (Most important project of the week). Usually MITs are Next Steps which I do as early as possible during the day, normally there are two or three of them each day. Bigrocks are privileged projects which I return to most often, I usually have one or two of them per week. I use one main org-file. Spheres of responsibility are top level headings containing neither tags nor todo-keywords: , | * Termine (contains only appointments) | * Teaching | * Institute | * Research Department | * Research Consortium | * Personal Research | * Readings | * Home Projects | * Friends | * Someday/Maybe | * Stuff to remember (here for example birthdays are defined) ` The second level contains projects which are tagged with :PROJECT:. The third level are associated next steps containing a resource tag. , | * Institute | ** Major Book Order :PROJECT: | *** DONE Advertise a position for a coordinator :OFFICE: | *** WAITING Wait for applications :OFFICE: | *** Choose an appropriate person:OFFICE: | *** Call a meeting :OFFICE: | *** Set up delegation project for supervision :OFFICE: ` As you see, only the first two steps contain a todo-keyword. This is because the second step is running at the moment and cannot choose a person before the position was actually advertised and the application deadline has come. I use triggers to set the next step to the appropriate state when the previous step is marked DONE: , | *** WAITING Wait for applications :OFFICE: | :PROPERTIES: | :TRIGGER: chain-siblings(NEXT) | :END: | *** Choose an appropriate person:OFFICE: ` So, after the application deadline has come, I mark the WAITING entry DONE and the next entry is automatically set to NEXT. After this is DONE, Call a meeting will be set to NEXT. , | *** DONE Wait for applications :OFFICE: | *** NEXT Choose an appropriate person :OFFICE: | :PROPERTIES: | :TRIGGER: chain-siblings(NEXT) | :END: | *** Call a meeting :OFFICE: ` In this way my agenda view for NEXT actions at OFFICE contains only actions which can actually be done immediately. I use to revise my project lists on a daily base. This is the first thing I do in the morning. It takes about 15 minutes. This is not orthodox GTD behavior but only this way a can make my mind free and be sure that I don't forget deadlines and don't neglect projects.

[O] Additive tags or meta-tags
Hi together This is maybe a feature request. Otherwise ... is it already possible to subsume a number of tags in some kind of meta-tag? Explanation: I use physical/local contexts as tags: @OFFICE, @HOME, @TRAIN etc. There are some todos like for example :READING: that could be done in all these contexts (but not @CAR). It would be nice to have one tag :READING: defined in a way that it appears in agenda-views querying @HOME-todos as well as @OFFICE or @TRAIN (but not @CAR). Or one tag :PHONE: that subsumes all local contexts including @CAR. At the moment I use long tag lists for these issues. I think this could be done in a more elegant way. This cannot be solved by tag inheritance, I think. Because a READING-todo could belong to a larger project-tree with lots of todos of quite diverse context/resource demands. Thanks for hints Sven
Re: [O] Google Tasks integration
Hi Brad I don't know anything about your question proper, but ... Brad Collette shopinthewo...@gmail.com writes: I've also been using mobileorg to get my stuff on my iphone. However, I'm less satisfied with that. Having to both push and pull from both ends to keep things in sync is a pain and I often forget. This is absolutely automatized on my system.

[O] Some remarks on org-contacts
Hi to all After some days of using org-contacts with Gnus, I would like to make some comments. I know that this is an early stage of the development, but I think some views and suggestions by users could help Julien or other developers to decide what could be done in the next steps of their work. There seems to be no roadmap on the homepage of the project. - The buffers displaying the contacts file(s) get the changed mark whenever something is done with org-contacts. Even if only a name was searched and no changes have happened at all. Is it a bug or some feature that I don't understand? - The last-read-mail property is a good idea, but it has the disadvantage of changing the file. People using Dropbox or other synchronization tools have a problem here, because they have to remember to manually save the file before they start to work on another computer. There should be an auto-save-hook or something similar. - What I deem most important: For quite a few contacts most people will use to have more than one email address. Org-contacts stores all addresses under the same property with no preference on one of them (unlike BBDB which uses the first entry as a default for completion). It is annoying to hit tab 3 to 4 times before the To-header is complete. It would perhaps be best to have only one address in the EMAIL property and to store alternate addresses in another property (SECONDARY_EMAIL). The SECONDARY_EMAIL could be called by a special function that could be set to a key different from TAB (maybe C-u TAB). Maybe it is even possible to expand to the default address by hitting TAB once, and to give a list of the other addresses by hitting TAB once again. - What can you do with ICONS? Arte they only for chatting? It would be nice to have a small window automatically opening below an Article buffer in Gnus that displays information about the author including his/her image. - Email, phone numbers and postal address should be displayed in the Agenda buffer when a name is searched by org-contacts. Maybe it would be possible to display different information by hitting certain keys: m: mobile-phone, e: email, b: birthday, a: all etc. At the moment one has to switch on follow-mode to display the information. I deem this not very beautiful. For my taste, the look-and-feel of an org-file with lots of property lines is not an aesthetic pleasure. A tabular output (including a picture of the person) would be much nicer. - There should be a function to sort the entries of the same level in contacts files alphabetically. Thank you very much for org-contacts. Best, Sven
Re: [O] org-contacts: error on message startup
Hi Michael Michael Markert markert.mich...@googlemail.com writes: Hi Sven, I run org-contacts on Emacs 23.3, there is a `completion-at-point-functions' and org-contacts works just fine. But I recall myself trying with Gnus and it didn't work because `completion-at-point' was not bound to keys. It is definitely not there in 23.1, the emacs-snapshot package which AFAIK is the orebokech version that seems not to have been updated since quite a while. I have checked the sources of minibuffer.el and it does not define completion-at-point-functions. This is a pity since Emacs Snapshot is the most actual you can get on Ubuntu without adding foreign repos or compiling. I have tried to use Emacs 24 from the emacs.naquadah.org repository which, however, does not contain a Natty section. With the Maverick packages org-contacts works. But in Emacs 24 Gnus is generally buggy (nnimap does not split mails). So I uninstalled it again. The only way I can see at the moment is exchanging minibuffer.el in Emacs 23.1 with a newer version. If this will result in a stable Emacs, I don't know. I had already converted my whole bbdb database to the org-contacts structure without testing it before. So I'm quite frustrated. Greetings, Sven

Hi Matthew Thank you very much for the new version. I'm just testing the new functions. MobileOrg will be really really good after all the new features will be working. Nice work. There are some issues I have detected so far (HTC Desire HD, Android 2.2.1, Dropbox-sync, completely cleaned [deleted] files before installing): *Changed Todo States will Not Change on the Phone* * NEXT Some Task :HOME: changed on the PC to * DEFERRED Some Task :HOME: After syncing, the phone still shows * NEXT Some Task :HOME: On the other hand, changing Todo states on the phone works and changes the todo state on the PC accordingly after syncing. *TAGs don't seem to work* Adding a new task with the Advanced Capture feature doesn't recognize tags for me. A tag :HOME: is neither shown in the New Notes view on the phone, nor on the PC after syncing. *Changed body edits are lost on syncing* * NEXT Call Somebody :PHONE: changed on the phone to * NEXT Call Somebody :PHONE: Phone number is 0154 13233 After syncing, org-pull doesn't announce a new edit. The addition is lost on both, the phone and it never arrived on the PC. After I have written the above I made some more tests and it becomes clear now that there is a serious syncing bug. In general, syncing doesn't recognize changes made on the PC. Even adding a new task (or a new test in the body, or a todo change) on the PC is not recognized by the phone after pushing and syncing. I'm sure it will be a small problem due to the changes made necessary by the new features. I'm not sure if this is a problem caused by my setup. Can anybody confirm these problems?

Re: [Orgmode] MobileOrg Android 0.5.0 - Now with native Dropbox support!
Dear Matthew Thank you very much for this present. Thank you also for all the good work you have done for making MobileOrg on Android possible. For the first time ever I also have syncing problems which takes about four times longer than before (filesize hasn't changed). I will give you a report on the issues-site. Anyway, I will switch from webdav to the Dropbox solution in a few days. I remember that it was possible to edit an org file directly within MobileOrg in one of the earlier versions. This seems to have been dropped now. We can go down to the file level, but it is read-only. Do I remember right? Or does this depend on my switch from sdcard to internal some weeks ago?

Hi Matthew
Matthew Jones bsdmatb...@gmail.com writes:
Alright guys, I've gotten this to work I've posted an early build of
MobileOrg that supports this here:
http://matburt.net/files/mobileorg-debug.apk
basically, you need to emit the action: com.matburt.mobileorg.CAPTURE
it takes an extra intent value called txtValue which will pre-populate the
text display.
I was using the script for some days now and did all my capturing this
way. It is completely stable and reliable on my HTC Magic with Android
1.6. I see no hindrance for a release.
import android
droid = android.Android()
message = droid.recognizeSpeech(Capture New Note).result
a = droid.startActivity(com.matburt.mobileorg.CAPTURE, None, None,
{'txtValue':message}, False)
Is there a way to enlarge the 'extra' intent with some standard string?
It would be nice to have a TODO keyword and a TAG inserted
automatically. If you are like me, you tend to forget refiling the items
of from-mobile.org regularly. An automatic TAG insertion could help to
remind yourself that there is something new that needs to be cared
about. I use to give a TAG :MIT: (Most Important Things [of the day])
and have a respective Agenda View that I review several times a day. If
newly captured items could appear in this list, I would never forget
about the newly captured tasks. To my regret, I don't know anything
about Python and its syntax, but I'm sure that the 'message' variable
can be extended easily (what I have tried did never work).
As a workaround I have written a simple shellscript for a Cronjob that
starts Conky whenever there is something new in from-mobile.org. So my
desktop reminds me to refile the new items. Maybe it is of some interest
for anybody, so I give it below.
Thanks again for your nice work.

Re: [Orgmode] MobileOrg and Voice Capturing (Android)
Hi Matthew Matthew Jones bsdmatb...@gmail.com writes: MobileOrg Android already supports speech to text in that, you can go to capture a new note and click the mic button on the soft keyboard and start speaking. I don't see that it would be particularly difficult to integrate this in a larger fashion. There could be a button on the capture interface that would let you start it automatically. Thanks for your ideas. Using MobileOrg's ability to process spoken texts is fine. In the car, however, it would be necessary to reduce clicks to one or two. Switching on speech input on the soft-keyboard would be difficult, because the respective key is much too tiny. At the moment I'm using Voice Command which starts recording when pressing the search key (hardware). This is fine. But still one has to manually start MobileOrg, switch to the capture screen and paste the text. That could be easier with the help of Tasker. Also... given that you had a button to activate the speech to text without having to pull up the soft keyboard... you could write another application that calls MobileOrg's Capture activity with that mode enabled. I have tried to teach Tasker how to call the Capture activity. Without success so far. Am I right that the activity is called by the command com.matburt.mobileorg.Capture? To my regret, Tasker's Action Intent task doesn't seem to understand that command. If I could get that working, it would be easy to create an icon to capture a spoken note and save it with only one click.

I have tried to capture tasks by voice on my Android device and implement them automatically to my org-files at home. The results are practicable but far from optimal by now. Maybe there are some Android users on this list who like to get involved in trying to find an optimal solution. *My method at the moment:* I use tasker, the Android killer-app for automatizing almost every thinkable task. Created a new task called org-voice with tasker. Pressing the associated icon does the following: 1. Plays Darth Vader's voice saying What is thy bidding, my master? 2. Loads app Voice2Clipboard 3. Waits for 30 seconds (to get Voice2Clipboard ready for recording and for me to finish speaking the note) 4. Write File: Writes the clipboard content to a file /sdcard/dropbox/org/org-voice.org After uploading the file with Dropbox, a cronjob on my PC (which is always switched on) takes care of the file. Its lines (each is a capture item) are transformed by a series of sed operations and put into a different file from-org-voice.org together with some TAGS and a TODO keyword; after that the original file is emptied. That's it. The problem with this approach is that you still have to manually download the (empty) capture-file (org-voice.org)[¹] and to manually upload it again, because Dropbox for Android doesn't sync changed files on the sdcard automatically. And especially to upload process needs quite a view clicks. *What would be better:* Use MobileOrg and have the clipboard contents written into the file used by MobileOrg for written captures. This is /sdcard/mobileorg/mobileorg.org if you use sdcard-storage. This way, you could use MobileOrg's own syncing process and no cronjob would be necessary. This could be done in two ways: 1. Use the same procedure and let tasker write the contents into the file directly. This is not possible for me since I have to use internal-storage for reasons of performance[²] and the files in /data/data/com.matburt.mobileorg/files/ are not writable for other programs without root. 2. Use tasker to start MobileOrg, enter the capture dialog and have a voice recognition app started. I simply don't know how to do that. Maybe tasker can even be programmed to automatically start MobileOrg's syncing process from time to time. But I don't know if and how this is possible. Does anybody have a better solution? Or a better idea? Greetings, Sven [¹] If you don't, the next sync with dropbox would replace the file with your notes by the empty file hosted on the Dropbox server. [²] On HTC Magic (Android 1.6) sdcard-storage makes MobileOrg incredibly slow. It takes more than a minute after starting MobileOrg until the files are displayed. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

The problem with this is that, although it works just fine, the url must be generally accessible (no authentication support). Of course, you can obfuscate the path to the file so that it won't be found easily but this is only security by hiding... It's also not clear how often or when google checks that file although it appears, from my limited testing, to be at least once a day but not much more often than that. That's right. You can't update the imported files manually. You always have to wait for a day before the changes in your ics file become visible in Google. That's why I abandoned this method.

As far as I see, the entries created by the diary method can't be configured according to level and exact location within the diary.org file. The entries are written in a tree structure beginning with the year at the beginning of the file. This would spoil the organization structure of my main org file.

I'm using Dropbox since a while now. There is an issue with the Android client that could also affect MobileOrg. The Android client only supports certain filetypes. For example, I could never figure out how to open a Dropbox-controlled LaTeX file with VerbTeX (AFAIK the only TeX editor available in the Market). That neither works if the file is accessed via the Dropbox client, nor have I figured out how to drop the file to the SDcard. There is no way to configure Dropbox's filetype associations on the user side. So, I think support for org files has to be implemented by the Dropbox developers.

[Orgmode] Adding entries to Google calendar
Hi to all I try to automatically add newly created dates to GoogleCalendar via GoogleCL. I have tried Eric Fraga's code from: http://osdir.com/ml/emacs-orgmode-gnu/2010-07/msg00265.html but I can't get it to work, nor do I understand it (is it complete?). Anyway, his approach depends on adding org-entries to diary. So, as far as I understand it, you have to create new schedules in a rather special way. Most people, I think, use remember, org-capture or insert new dates directly into an org file. What I (and probably others) need is a way to trigger a call of 'google calendar add' as soon as a new date is created by org-remember etc. What would be the best way to do this? Up to now, although a full syncing orgmode with GoogleCalendar is not possible, we are quite close to it thanks to Eric's '2x2 method' and his awk-script solution. But that solves only three quarters of the problem. Informing GoogleCalendar about dates one has created with org still needs the awkward manual import of ics-files via a web-browser. I think there could be a better solution. Greetings, Sven ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Adding entries to Google calendar
Hi Eric Eric S Fraga ucec...@ucl.ac.uk writes: I'm not sure what you mean about complete. It requires you to have installed the Google command line tools (googlecl from Google Code). However, this emacs lisp code is not what I would call full-featured ;-) There were several problems, most of which I have solved by now. First, I didn't set org-agenda-diary-file. So, calling i from an agenda-view merely opened the default diary file. That's why I wondered when exactly the advice comes into play. (Therefore I suspected the code to be possibly incomplete -- sorry, my fault.) Now, the principle procedure works. Entries show up in Google after I added them with org-agenda-diary-entry. There is one thing left. You have structured the shell-command according to the American GoogleCL syntax. That's not working with the German locale. For a German GoogleCalendar the only syntax I found working is: google calendar add --cal org Test am 5.9.2010 um 14:00-16:00 It's not problem, of course, to change the format of the shell-command. But, the German GoogleCalendar doesn't seem to understand commands with the time of day as the first argument. For example: google calendar add --cal org 14:00-16:00 Test am 5.9.2010 results in an entry called Test am (instead of Test) with the correct time of the day but on the wrong calendar day, it is inserted to today's column (Sat 4.9.2010 instead of Sun 5.9.2010). Strangely enough, the correct date occurs nowhere in the entry, so it was not interpreted as part of the text. This shows that we are dealing with a bug in GoogleCL. Alas, there seems no description of the possible syntactical variants available on the web. So I did try-and-error: with and without the am and um, with the English on, with ISO formated dates etc etc. Except the above structure 'text am date um time' no combination works. I fear, there are only two solutions: 1. As a workaround I have set my GoogleCalendar to the American locale. With that everything works fine. 2. We have to isolate the time of day from the diary-entry as a further variable (not as part of the variable text), so that Germans can format the command correctly. Can you help me with that? However, the mechanism is there to support hooking into capture specifically and possibly into org-time-stamp or org-schedule, say. I have tried to work out an advice to org-time-stamp and/or org-remember-finish today. But my Lisp is too weak. I couldn't figure out how to grab the data. I don't use Google calendar for scheduled tasks or deadlines so the latter don't matter to me; I use it for appointments and my work flow is that I always bring up the agenda view to see if my time is free before making the appointment. That's also my work flow, except of using org-remember k-r instead of i. I like to have everything in one org-file. But I can get used to keep my appointments in a separate diary file.

[Orgmode] Minor Bug in ical2org awk script
Hi all, hi Eric Eric Fraga's wonderful awk script to export/convert googlecalendar to orgmode contains a minor bug in creating active timestamps. A date like 21.7.2010, 14-15 will be converted to 2010-07-21 14:00-15:00 What is missing here is the day of the week. It should be (in German): 2010-07-21 Mi 14:00-15:00 That is not a problem for Orgmode which doesn't need the day of the week to display the entry correctly. But it's a problem for iCal-export. If you import this date into googlecalendar without manually fixing the weekday information, GoogleCalendar doesn't display the date correctly but handles it as a whole-day-entry (i.e. without the time information). I know the shortcoming is actually an iCal.el matter, but it could be fixed on the awk script level, I think.

Re: [Orgmode] [google] updated awk script for google to org conversion
Hi Eric Thank you very much for the script and the idea. I'm a fan of MobileOrg for Android, but the diary functions are not convenient to deal with at the moment. So I adopted your method for date handling. Some observations: 1. wget doesn't overwrite an older basic.ics laying in the same folder. Instead it names the files of further downloads to basic.ics.1, basic.ics.2 and so on. Therefore I added an additional line (rm $ICS) to your shell-script (not the awk-script, but the one with the automatized procedure you sent in a previous posting): --8---cut here---start-8--- #!/bin/bash ICS=/home/sven/bin/google2org/basic.ics ORG=/home/sven/aktuell/myconf/googlecalendar.org AWK=/home/sven/bin/google2org/ical2org.awk cd /home/sven/bin/google2org/ wget http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/[...]/basic.ics timezone=$(date +%z | sed 's/^\([+-]\)0/\1/') seconds=$(($timezone*36)) awk -f $AWK $ICS $ORG rm $ICS --8---cut here---end---8--- 2. Running the above script with cron, makes Emacs continually ask if googlecalendar.org should really be edited, because the file had changed on disk. So I put the whole thing into an Emacs function: --8---cut here---start-8--- (defun my-org-to-google () (interactive) (save-excursion (find-file ~/aktuell/myconf/mygtd.org) (org-export-icalendar-this-file)) ) (defun my-google-to-org () (interactive) (save-excursion (kill-buffer googlecalendar.org) (shell-command (format sh /home/sven/bin/google2org/importgoogle.sh))) ) (if (string-equal system-name kamaloka) (run-at-time 3:00am nil 'my-org-to-google) (run-at-time nil 3600 'my-google-to-org) ) --8---cut here---end---8--- Every night a new ical-export is created from my main org-file at 3:00am, waiting to be uploaded in the morning (do you know if it's possible to automatically import this to GoogleCL?).

[Orgmode] org-mobile produces errors in normal org functions
Hi all I have strange errors since I'm working with org-mobile. They seem to have to do with the hash-code. The first error: org-mobile-push results in a Wrong-type-argument. A debug-message is included at the end of this mail. After an unsuccessful run of this function, the buffers of the included org-files display the ** symbol in the status line, although the buffers haven't been changed at all. Strangely enough, after trying three of four times the command succeeds at last. But that's not all. Similar errors occur when I run org-archive-subtree. Since I work with org-mobile my entries contain an automatically produced property of the form: :PROPERTIES: :ID: 8307e0ed-6936-4c88-b25f-d9729873f047 :END: If I delete this property, org-archive-subtree works on the respective entry. I use the same configuration on two computers, both running Ubuntu Lucid, Emacs 23.1.1 and the most recent version of org. These errors occur only on one of the computers (the one I use to sync my org files with a webdav server using org-mobile, if that's relevant). Does anybody have an idea what could be wrong here? Thanks for help, Sven Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument hash-table-p ((~/aktuell/myconf/from-mobile.org cd2fdb6d-1ca6-45e7-b0d6-02044edcbbb9) (~/aktuell/myconf/from-mobile.org fdcc85e2-51c8-4d3d-827c-396687ca5a13) (~/aktuell/myconf/from-mobile.org a6a22b75-e0fe-44fb-b5d0-a61500218760) (~/aktuell/myconf/from-mobile.org 2dce7212-3994-4ccc-a964-6569914fc17f) (~/aktuell/myconf/from-mobile.org 177580d9-f0f0-472b-90d0-278bf503e07d) (~/aktuell/myconf/mygtd.org c4ceb0b6-b854-41ab-91b6-e3b1d40d8289) (~/aktuell/myconf/mygtd.org 8850e02f-9e33-456b-8654-e55cf1604036) (~/aktuell/myconf/mygtd.org 593cf7d5-5db7-4b39-bc7f-190c4acb4f51) (~/aktuell/myconf/mygtd.org f20acbfb-c03c-4b08-bd22-d1b614dc7688) (~/aktuell/myconf/mygtd.org c76519fa-c2ba-434c-b3e2-e3838b72e6e3) \.\.\.)) puthash(5a8cfb4f-3e43-4581-982b-44e0adcacac6 ~/aktuell/myconf/mygtd.org ((~/aktuell/myconf/from-mobile.org cd2fdb6d-1ca6-45e7-b0d6-02044edcbbb9) (~/aktuell/myconf/from-mobile.org fdcc85e2-51c8-4d3d-827c-396687ca5a13) (~/aktuell/myconf/from-mobile.org a6a22b75-e0fe-44fb-b5d0-a61500218760) (~/aktuell/myconf/from-mobile.org 2dce7212-3994-4ccc-a964-6569914fc17f) (~/aktuell/myconf/from-mobile.org 177580d9-f0f0-472b-90d0-278bf503e07d) (~/aktuell/myconf/mygtd.org c4ceb0b6-b854-41ab-91b6-e3b1d40d8289) (~/aktuell/myconf/mygtd.org 8850e02f-9e33-456b-8654-e55cf1604036) (~/aktuell/myconf/mygtd.org 593cf7d5-5db7-4b39-bc7f-190c4acb4f51) (~/aktuell/myconf/mygtd.org f20acbfb-c03c-4b08-bd22-d1b614dc7688) (~/aktuell/myconf/mygtd.org c76519fa-c2ba-434c-b3e2-e3838b72e6e3) \.\.\.))

In that way my Agenda Views (defined as NEXT/HOME, NEXT/OFFICE etc.) display only next actions that can be done immediately. *** I like the concept of chained actions and the TRIGGER property. Very smart, the auto-assignment to NEXT keeps you busy and focused, and saves a number of key-strokes. But I guess that implies multiple NEXT items. Do you maintain several of those, or one per project? Maybe I'm wrong--I didn't even read the GTD book thoroughly yet--but I like having *one* NEXT action, so that I don't get stuck with too many next things. I can understand one NEXT action per project, but several within a single project raises internal warnings. I think one of the main points in GTD is splitting up a task into multiple physical actions (potential NEXT steps) which can be done one after another depending on the available time, energy level and context. Usually they build up a procedural chain of actions that gradually bring the project to fulfillment. Sometimes there are actions that don't form part of the chain, because they can be done independently from previous steps. I usually put these things at the end of the project's action-list an give them the NEXT status right from the start. For example, this weekend I made my flat secure for my 8 months old son who just starts to crawl and touches every cable he can put his hands on: * Family ** Secure the apartment for the baby :PROJECT: *** NEXT Buy items [0/4] :SHOPPING: - [ ] devices to secure power outlets - [ ] sticky tape - [ ] wire protecting sleeves - [ ] new screws for the baby's bed :PROPERTIES: :TRIGGER: chain-siblings(NEXT) :END: *** secure all power outlets [0/6] :HOME: - [ ] living room - [ ] bathroom - [ ] sleeping room - [ ] child's room - [ ] corridor - [ ] kitchen *** tie all cables with tape :HOME: *** fix the baby bed :HOME: *** NEXT remove loose objects from small tables :HOME: The project has 5 physical actions. Four of them are dependent: First I have to buy what I need, then I can start working. So I buy the items and tick them of in the list one after another as I buy them (C-c C-c in such a list ticks the items and changes the number in the brackets). After I have them all, I set Buy items to DONE. Then secure all power outlets automatically gets the NEXT status, and so on. As you see, the fifth item remove loose objects from small tables can be done without buying anything. So I give it the NEXT status right from the start. It's important to place this item at the end of the list, so that it can't spoil the chain, if I give it the DONE status before the chained list is complete. In fact, for Emacs the last item is part of the chain, but that doesn't really matter in practice. All that could happen, is that I clear the tables before I have finished the other parts and set the fifth item to DONE. When I, then, set the baby bed item to DONE, the loose objects will get NEXT status again (I'm not quite sure if that really happens, I can't remember such a case). D. Allen recommends that you make a brainstorm when you are planning a project. What are the things I have to do in order to realize the plan? With orgmode you can make brainstorming very easy, just type M-RET and hack in what occurs to your mind. After that, sort the items into (sequential or independent) physical actions, references and so on. More often than not, your collection will still feature some items which are not physical actions, but sub-projects. If you notice that, you have to break them further down into physical actions. But, I think, you don't have to be too dogmatic with that. Fix the baby bed in fact consisted of more than one action (change screws, fix a certain plank, tie a cushion), but I had them all in mind and I planned to do them all simultaneously. So I didn't note them too accurately. Greetings, Sven ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] AutOrg, and practice of GTD in a group
Hi Hellekin Hellekin O. Wolf helle...@cepheide.org writes: How do you guys use CATEGORIES, PROPERTIES and TAGS in combination with TODO states and Org-Agenda to optimize your GTD workflow? I'm also into GTD. This is a typical entry I use for a project. * Misc Office ** Rewrite study course documents :PROJECT: *** NEXT Rework Text:HOME: :PROPERTIES: :TRIGGER: chain-siblings(NEXT) :END: *** Mail Text to Volkhard :OFFICE: *** Discuss Text with Volkhard :OFFICE: :PROPERTIES: :dowith: volkhard :END: *** Mail Text to other Profs:OFFICE: Explanation: First level is for divisions of my life (here: Misc Office, others are Family, Teaching, Research etc.). The second level I use to denote projects (in the GTD meaning) or for some small tasks which include only one physical action. In the first case I use no todo keyword and only the PROJECT tag (to create a list of projects and to define what a stuck project is). In the second case, I would give the NEXT keyword already on the second level (not shown here). The third level is for the physical actions of the project. As you see, only the first has a todo keyword (NEXT). The others are dependent from the first (cannot be done before the first is done) and have only a context tag. My context tags include things like HOME, OFFICE, SHOPPING, TRAIN etc. When the first NEXT action is done, the next NEXT action in the list gains the NEXT todo keyword automatically; this is what the TRIGGER property cares for. In that way my Agenda Views (defined as NEXT/HOME, NEXT/OFFICE etc.) display only next actions that can be done immediately. As I'm working in a team, I have long searched for a way to tell Orgmode who is with me at a certain moment and display the things that have to be done together with the(se) person(s). I have recently discovered org-secretary for that purpose. For the above case, if Volkard enters my office, I tell Emacs that he is now with me, and a special agenda view displays all the things I want to do with him. This is what the dowith property is for. Apart from PROJECTS and contexts I have two more tags defined: BIGROCK and MIT. The first is given to projects that I want to concentrate on this week (never more than 3 projects contain that tag). MIT means Most Important Thing (of the day). I use this tag to mark three to four NEXT actions every night. These are the first things I care for on the next day. What strategy do you take when you have a personal SEQ_TODO and need to work with other people, using a different SEQ_TODO? Have a look on org-secretary.

Re: [Orgmode] Meta-grouping properties?
Hi Juri Sorry for answering so late. I have been away from the PC for a while. Juri Krivov jkri...@gmail.com writes: I dont' think this can be done yet. But I am interested in this idea. How do you hope to define groups? In variable or in buffer with special group syntax? Should every search matching for a name alwasy automatically always include groups, or do you think there should be explicit call like +groups(John) in tags query? I want to lear more lisp, so maybe I will try my hand on his idea. Learning always goes better with project at hand. For my purpose, groups would mainly consist of teams, i.e. real people's names. Such teams could come into existence, vanish and change quite frequently. So it would be best, not to always define them in a complex Lisp expression in .emacs. I could think of buffer specific definitions as one of the most effective possibilities: #+METAGROUPS: (PR-Team(John Mary Sven)) (Website-Taskforce(Tom Fred Mary)) I think John's group(s) should always be matched when John is searched for, similar to tag inheritance.

[Orgmode] Meta-grouping properties?
Hi all Is it possible to define meta-groups for certain properties? For example: * TODO Some Task :PROPERTIES: :dowith: PR-Group :END: * TODO Another Task :PROPERTIES: :dowith: John :END: * TODO A Third Task :PROPERTIES: :dowith: Mary :END: The PR-Group consists of four people including John and Mary. So when John is with me, I would like to be able to build an agenda view that shows Some Task and Another Task, when Mary is with me, Some Task and A Third Task should show up. This would be easiest if I could make org aware who actually belongs to the PR-Group and then just filter the Agenda View for John (or Mary resp.). Is that possible?

Re: [Orgmode] MobileOrg for Android starts to become really usable
Hi Enrico Enrico Indiogine hindiog...@gmail.com writes: Thanks to the help from you all I managed to install the latest development version of org-mobile-android on my Xperia X10. I set up my .emacs for stage push-pull and have a mydisk.se account with an org directory. M-x push will fail with an ssh timeout. I think it has to do with the fact that Emacs has no way of knowing the mydisk.se password. Try another approach. You are under Ubuntu, aren't you? I'm also under Ubuntu and I use mydisk.se. So this should also work for you: 1. sudo apt-get install davfs2 2. sudo adduser enrico davfs (I don't remember if this is really the groupname, maybe it's davfs2) 3. edit the file /etc/fstab - add a line at the end: https://mydisk.se/yourusername /home/enrico/webdav davfs user,noauto 0 0 4. edit the file /etc/davfs2/secrets, add the following line: /home/enrico/webdavyourmydiskusername yourmydiskpasswd 5. mkdir ~/webdav 6. sudo dpkg-reconfigure davfs2 -- set the SUID Bit (i.e. just say yes) 7. mount ~/webdav Now, your folders of mydisk.se should appear under ~/webdav. Then tell Emacs (org-mobile) to use this folder instead of scp. I just used customize to set the org-mobile-directory. This in in my .emacs: (setq org-mobile-files (quote (~/org/agenda.org))) (setq org-mobile-directory ~/stage/) Change this to ~/webdav or use stage in the procedure above. (add-hook 'org-mobile-post-push-hook (lambda () (shell-command scp -r ~/stage/* hindiog...@mydisk.se:org/))) (add-hook ' org-mobile-pre-pull-hook (lambda () (shell-command scp hindiog...@mydisk.se:org/mobile.org ~/stage ))) (add-hook 'org-mobile-post-pull-hook (lambda () (shell-command scp ~/stage/mobileorg.org hindiog...@mydisk.se:org]/))) I think with the webdav-approach you have to delete these hooks.

[Orgmode] MobileOrg for Android starts to become really usable
Hi to all, hi Matthew I had a look at matburt's Github today and found the new 0.4alpha-build. Now, MobOrg4And supports the capturing of notes. That's what I was waiting for all the time. I can say that Note capturing works on my HTC Magic, albeit I had little time so far to test it more than once or twice. I just wanted to say thank you very much! Note taking is rudimentary at the moment. As far as I can see, you have to type todo-keywords, tags and active timestamps manually. But that doesn't matter too much at the moment. The current alternatives (RTM, Toodledo) have similar inconveniences. However, in MobOrg4And we are in our familiar org-syntax, so /everything/ can be done without complex awk/sed operations after syncing. @Matthew: Do you have some kind of roadmap published anywhere?

What i have captured on my Android since Thursday straightly went to my org file at home (run-at-time), and found its way back to my phone within an automatic html export of my agenda. However, a full sync with any of the available web todo services would be great. and I think Sachua's toodledo solution is by far the most advanced at the moment and the best point to start with.
