Does using // rather than \\ work better?

[Orgmode] A few new user questions, Custom agenda views, calendar in frame, and Hyperlinks on win32

2008-11-19 Thread Jonathan Arkell
Hi Everybody

I have some fairly simple new user questions, and I am hoping you guys can help 
me out.

I have a few custom agenda views that I would like to create, but I am having 
some issues.  My files are laid out in 1 file per project, and each file starts 
with a level 1 outline element tagged :project:.  (I do have other file types 
that are appropriately tagged).I thought that if I wanted to list all TODOs 
in all my (appropriately tagged) project files, it would be as easy as setting 
up a custom agenda command.  The one I set up had a tags-todo type, with search 
“project” or “+project”, but I get … well… no results.  Ideally I’d like to 
have a couple of different lists, all project tagged files with TODO items and 
all project tagged files with WAITING items.  Can someone give me a hand?  (I’m 
not adverse to using setq in my .emacs, in fact, that might make things a 
little easier for me anyways)

Secondly, I am having an issue where my Calendar is popping up in a new frame 
all the time, either when scheduling an item or through remember.  I’d rather 
it pop up in a new window instead.  Is this possible?

Finally, I am having a problem with some external links, whenever I try to 
visit a file like \\AWindowsServer\path\to\file  I get the error message “eval: 
ShellExecute failed: The system cannot find the file specified. ^M”  Is it easy 
to fix this?  What is going on?

I am using org 6.10c, on Emacs W32 (Emacs v 22).

Thanks!

Re: [Orgmode] A few new user questions, Custom agenda views, calendar in frame, and Hyperlinks on win32

2008-11-19 Thread Eddward DeVilla
I'm afraid I'm not going to be too helpful with the calendar problem.  My
calendar is in a different window in the same frame and the frame returns to
normal after I select my date.  I don't remember doing anything special for
that.  Likewise, I does use windows native emacs.  Just cygwin.  I skip the
whole share mapping thing by doing cygwin mounts.

About your first question, my first guess is org-agenda-files.  Did you set
it?  You can check it out from an org buffer menu.  Just look in Org -
File List For Agenda.  You can modify the list in that menu.  It also has
the current files in that menu.  Agenda only deals with files in that list.

A couple of things you might want to double-check here: 1) do you have
tag inheritance turned on and 2) are the relevant TODO subheadings
nested beneath the level 1 heading tagged project?

That said, it's probably easier to tag the whole file by placing a
filetags declaration at the top of the file:

#+FILETAGS: project

 The one I set up had a tags-todo type, with search “project” or
 “+project”, but I get … well… no results. Ideally I’d like to have a
 couple of different lists, all project tagged files with TODO items
 and all project tagged files with WAITING items. Can someone give me
 a hand? (I’m not adverse to using setq in my .emacs, in fact, that

I find the easiest way to filter todos by tags is to use / within
the agenda view. That is, hit C-c a t to get a list of all todos, then
type / and the tag to filter the todo list.

 Secondly, I am having an issue where my Calendar is popping up in a
 new frame all the time, either when scheduling an item or through
 remember. I’d rather it pop up in a new window instead. Is this
 possible?

 Finally, I am having a problem with some external links, whenever I
 try to visit a file like \\AWindowsServer\path\to\file I get the
 error message “eval: ShellExecute failed: The system cannot find the
 file specified. ^M” Is it easy to fix this? What is going on?


Sorry I can't help you here. Windows machines are a foreign country to
me.

Check the variable calendar-setup. Setting it to nil should do what you want:

calendar-setup is a variable defined in `calendar.el'.
Its value is nil

Documentation:
The frame setup of the calendar.
The choices are: `one-frame' (calendar and diary together in one separate,
dedicated frame); `two-frames' (calendar and diary in separate, dedicated
frames); `calendar-only' (calendar in a separate, dedicated frame); with
any other value the current frame is used.  Using any of the first
three options overrides the value of `calendar-view-diary-initially-flag'.

Like Matt said earlier, defining FILETAGS at the top of a project file
is easier approach.  Fast tag filtering is the most amazing way to
zero in on items.

  
   Secondly, I am having an issue where my Calendar is popping up in a
   new frame all the time, either when scheduling an item or through
   remember. I'd rather it pop up in a new window instead. Is this
   possible?

Can you please try:
(setq pop-up-frames nil)


  
   Finally, I am having a problem with some external links, whenever I
   try to visit a file like \\AWindowsServer\path\to\file I get the
   error message eval: ShellExecute failed: The system cannot find the
   file specified. ^M Is it easy to fix this? What is going on?

This seems to work for me:

;; for invoking external viewers from within dired
(require 'extview)

(push '(\\.html$ . ask) extview-application-associations)
(push '(\\.doc$ . C:/PROGRA~1/OFFICE11/WINWORD.EXE %s)
