Hi folks, I don't know if you guys like dired.  But I think it could
be better if org-store-link could work even in dired buffer. I'd like
to see these behaviors of org-store-link in dired buffer.

1. If any file is marked, org-store-link stores the link to these
   marked files.

2. If none is marked, org-store-link stores the directory.


Yes, I think this would make sense, even though I'd prefer the link to 
be created to the file in the current line if there is no selection, 
and to the directory if the cursor is on the "." line.


By the way, from your messages I gather that you are putting links to 
lots and lots of files into the Org-mode file.  If I need access many 
files in a project, I find it typically more efficient to just link to 
the directory and then use dired itself to navigate to the file I need. 
 That also makes things easier when moving a project to a different 
directory



Also, is it possible to open a file or directory link in dired, but
not really open it?


Ah, I see, this is the problem.

You need to tell Org-mode that you want to open directories in Emacs.

Customize org-file-apps, add a new entry where the car is `directory' 
and the cdr is `emacs', for example like this:


(setq org-file-apps
  '((directory . emacs)
("txt" . emacs)
("tex" . emacs)
("ltx" . emacs)
("org" . emacs)
("el" . emacs)
("bib" . emacs)))

Looks great, but I get this error when I load your orgmode.org file in 4.47
(or it may be 4.46):

File local-variables error: (error "Local variables entry is missing the 
prefix")

[Orgmode] Org Mode Kudos

2006-09-05 Thread Russell Adams
I'm a new user to org mode, having embraced it whole heartedly and
managing my first large project with it. I think its fantastic!

I thought I'd say thank you to the list and those who made it
possible. This is exactly the mode I've wanted for years to help
manage everything.

Thanks again!

It's a very nice introduction to both emacs org-mode and GTD.  I would
like to see an easier implementation for your Portable Next Action
lists using the check box feature in the org-mode.  I think it's
better if you put all the next actions in check box list, but leave
the head lines for different categories.  But then I come to a
question.  Is there a way to list all the check box lists in a sparse
tree?  If there is, we can just print it.

Best,
Xiao-Yong

There is an incompatibility between the handling of local file 
variables in files between emacs 21 and emacs 22.  For emacs 22, either 
remove
the "# " (hash followed by space) from 3 lines near the end of the 
file, or make sure that al line from "Local Variables" to "End" have 
this same "# " prefix.

Use org-occur to create such a tree.

Interactively with

 C-c / \[[ X]\] RET

or, if you want to do this more often, with a special command

(defun my-checkbox-tree ()
(interactive)
(org-occur "\\[[ X]\\]" 'org-at-item-p))

Thank you for your kind comments about my article. My use of org-mode
for implementing GTD methodology is still a work in progress as I learn
more about org-mode and experiment with how I structure my
file.

I was thinking that my Perl script could be coded in Lisp. I don't know enough
Lisp to implement the logic. The important thing to remember is that
I need one list for each tag (content) with a list of headlines that match
the tag.  For example, under HOME, I need a list ofall headlines that match the
tag of :HOME:

I have just started my study of check boxes in preparating for making an
org-mode file for my Weekly Review.
