Today I redownloaded Org, now it is version 6.01d (org-version returns 6.01c), I plugged it in the place of the 6.01 and fortunately everything works as expected.

Try using ibuffer, filtering by name to files containing "org" or whatever appropriate regex, then the command "O" will run something like M-x occur. You have to mark the files before you run O.

Re: [Orgmode] org-table : some questions ...
On Apr 18, 2008, at 3:17 PM, Jose Robins wrote: Let me first setup the context for my question. I'm an electrical engineer designing IC's (in San Diego, USA) and have a great need for documenting my simulation data in a format similar to what I have attached in the jpg file (and pasted below)... The snapshot below was using built-in table-mode in emacs. The key reason I used table mode instead of org-table to document this data was due to the ability to have some columns be merged (or "spanned" in table-mode terminology) in some rows. However I find org-table's features a bit more intuitive and would prefer to use that instead. In fact I started off with documenting data in org-mode and finally converted that to table-mode because of the exact reason that I mentioned above. Question(s): 1. Is there a way that I could achieve this sort of column spanning in org-table mode? No. 2. Or is there an alternative way of arrangement using org-mode to achieve the same objective of data organization? Not really. You can put arbitrarily long text into a column and then fix with width of a column, but that is it. 3. If not, would this be easy to implement (and useful enough for others) to have such an option? I would be really hard to implement and so it is not oing to happen. table.el that comes with emacs is nice for this kind of stuff, if you find some of the commands not intuitive, try to bind your own commands, or contact the author of table.el, Takaaki Ota is a nice guy, maybe you can inspire him. table.el is focussed on nice and flexible layout, and they integrate with Org quite well in terms of export and activation. Org's tables are for speed and ease of use, and to allow computations. I don't see a way to make both possible in the same table. - Carsten ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) I had some extensions written by Sacha Chua installed, but I've removed them, and it still barfs.

Well, when I removed the .elc files, so I could attempt to debug it, it worked fine. Maybe I'll recompile, and maybe I'll just leave it alone. It works fast enough for me without being compiled. Maybe I had an old .elc file that never got overwritten. Whatever, sorry for the false alarm.

Hello All,
I would like to set up a daily agenda view with todos sorted in the
following order:
1. Timed TODOs
2. DEADLINES
3. TODO type - STARTED
4. TODO type - NEXT
5. TODO type - TODO
I could find/figure out how to do #1 and #2 but #3-5 escape me. I
hope I did not miss it in the manual.
You cannot sort tasks in an agenda view according to TODO type,
but you can make a block agenda that extracts the different task
types one by one.
For example
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("A" "Task types"
((agenda "" nil)
(todo "STARTED" nil)
(todo "NEXT" nil)
(todo "TODO" nil))
nil nil)))
sets up a view that contains
1. The agenda, which includes scheduled and deadline stuff.
2. All STARTED entries
3. All NEXT entries
4. All TODO entries
The other posiility, if you want to reduce the amount of stuff you
look at, is to make
separate commands for each of these
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("A" . "Tasks")
("Aa" "My agenda" agenda "" nil)
("As" "STARTED Stuff" todo "STARTED" nil)
("An" "NEXT Actions" todo "NEXT" nil)
("At" "TODO Items" todo "TODO" nil)))
