Looks good.  Can you provide the patch with a ChangeLog and with 
git format-patch ?

Sure.  Here is it.

[O] Agenda restrict to buffer

[andrea crotti]

I never quite understood how to pass arguments to org-agenda without
using it interactively..
I want a simple thing, a command that shows the agenda with the TODO
entries from a given file

So supposing the buffer "projects.org" is open I tried this:

(defun my-org-agenda ()
  (interactive)
   (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer "projects.org"))
   (org-agenda :arg 'agenda :restriction '<))

which complains for
Wrong number of arguments: (lambda (&optional arg keys restriction)
"Dispatch agenda commands to collect entries to the agenda buffer.

Any suggestions?

Yes, this is a great hint. I'll use S-TAB for this purpose.

[O] Suggested change to Manual 3.5.9 example table

[Charles]

I have searched the news groups concerning this and found nothing.

I am attempting to learn the advance features for tables and could not 
understand 29.7 as the result for $at=vmean(@-II..@-I);%.1f.


I copied the table and formulas into a scratch org file, changed the 
floating point to .2f and the result was 25.00, which I believe is 
correct. I changed it back to .1f and 25.0 was the result.


Is the result as given in the manual supposed to demonstrate some 
concept that is not evident to me?

It's a C-style format specifier. Take a look in the following link for

[O] org version under Windows 7

[Giovanni Ridolfi]

Hello everybody (especially Achim Gratz ;-)

I'm back. I'd like to install org on my Windows 7 machine, but

I have some constraints:
- I am not the Administrator 

- I cannot use make 

- I cannot use git


So
1   I downloaded from http://orgmode.org/w/org-mode.git
    the last git snapshot (c75120aa71257604)
2  un(tar-zipped) it
3  As suggested by Achim a month ago,
    in my scratch buffer I evaluated
    (let ((generated-autoload-file "c:/Users/me/emacs-o/org/org-install.el"))
     (update-directory-autoloads "c:/Users/me/emacs-o/org//lisp"))
messages in the Message buffer were:

Saving file c:/Users/me/emacs-o/org/org-install.el...
Wrote c:/Users/me/emacs-o/org/org-install.el
nil

So this seems not to be the way to set the version

4. Then I run emacs:
    (as suggested in http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html
>c:\Users\me\programs\emacs\bin\emacs.exe -batch -Q -L lisp -l 
>org/UTILITIES/org-fixup.el --eval '(org-make-org-version "7.8.11" 
>"c75120aa71257" "blabla")'

but the command ended with: End of file during parsing

and, obviously,  M-x org-version says: Org-mode version N/A-fixup 

5. then I followed the instruction with the defvars and evaluated my/compile-org
 but the result was the same.

what can I do?

thank you in advance,

Giovanni

Good one.

It *may* have been intended to illustrate the difference between rows
marked with # and unmarked rows; e.g. if you go back and change a grade
in Sam's row and press TAB, then the # rows are recalculated but the
unmarked one is not.  So the 29.7 might have been a (now incorrect)
remnant of a previous calculation that would have been corrected in the
next global recalculation.

However, if that's the case, a more extensive explanation would
certainly be welcome.

Nick

Yes, CMD.exe has quite different quoting rules than a UNIX shell.  Just
load up the eval expression into a scratch buffer and execute it there
(or via M-: if you like).  Oh, and "blabla" is not a path to the ODT
style files, much less an absolute one.

The definition doesn't include org-make-org-version, but you could add
it if you plan on doing this more often.

Jason, it would be quite useful if the Git snapshots would include both
org-install.el and org-version.el — is it perhaps possible to sneak a
"make autoloads" into the script that creates those?

Bastien, here's a patch that allows to override the version strings more
easily.  You'd then eval this form:

(let ((org-fake-release "7.8.11")
  (org-fake-git-version "7.8.11-fake"))
  (org-make-autoloads))

either from the scratch buffer or the command line.  I'll update org
hacks with the instructions when you have installed the patch.

Hi again,

yes I see now, these are only warnings.
I was misled by trying to do an odt export and getting hit by the debugger here:


I get this error:

call-interactively: Symbol's value as variable is void: err

Switching toggle-debug-on-error to true I get:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable err)
  org-export-as-odt-and-open(nil)
  call-interactively(org-export-as-odt-and-open)
  org-export(nil)
  call-interactively(org-export nil nil)


I saw "err" in the debugger and "err" in the compiler messages and overloked 
the "warning".
Anyway, something is wrong. Can anybody see what?

I have pushed a fix for `condition-case-unless-debug'.  If you are using
Emacs >= 23.1 you will have no further issues.

As for other 2 functions, I am not sure why they are not defined.  What
version of Emacs are you using?

Could please post the error message from *Messages* buffer.  This should

According to `man zip', error code 8 (seen above) corresponds to

,

It's a C-style format specifier. Take a look in the following link for
a more comprehensive description.





Suvaya and others on the list,

I was not specific, as a matter of fact I may have been deliberately 
abstruse - that was not called for.  All I was trying to say that 
example should be corrected since it is confusing.


  Since it appeared that the mean should be 25 rather than 29.7 I 
changed the decimal places in the format specifier and recomputed the 
entire table. It seemed easier to do that than change any of the fields 
in the table.


Thank you for consideration and for the link.

And here I was thinking you are asking about the format specifier! :-p

Since you have already put in the effort to correct the table, how about
submitting it as a patch to doc/org.texi? You could also take this
opportunity to improve the text somewhat. :)

I replied to Charlie's original message but from the tenor of the replies here
I gather nobody saw my message? But I just checked gmane and it's there, so
I'm not sure any more: did anybody see it? Here's the message body again just

Good one.

It *may* have been intended to illustrate the difference between rows
marked with # and unmarked rows; e.g. if you go back and change a grade
in Sam's row and press TAB, then the # rows are recalculated but the
unmarked one is not.  So the 29.7 might have been a (now incorrect)
remnant of a previous calculation that would have been corrected in the
next global recalculation.

However, if that's the case, a more extensive explanation would
certainly be welcome.

Nick,

I did read your reply.  I thought you were suggesting the reason why the 
error occurred (which makes a lot of sense) and you were inviting 
further explanation from whoever drafted that section of the manual.


As to submitting a patch - Thank you but I have to pass, even for such a 
tinychange. Downloading, installing and learning git is a project slated 
for later this year.

Re: [O] org-cycle Collapse and Expand

Hi Esben,

There is `org-show-subtree'.

You can create a new key binding like this:

  (org-defkey org-mode-map "\C-c\C-S" 'org-show-subtree)

Then TAB and C-cC-S to expand/collapse.

HTH,

Re: [O] table export to oocalc?

Well, since oocalc reads .csv and .tsv files, there *is* 
such a converter.

But there is no .org to .ods converter, and no plan for
this AFAIK.
