Dan, thank you. I somehow does and doesn't.
After using the command I get the "private" entries.
After using another command analogous to this it seems I cannot
reset the org-agenda-files variable. Looks like it only adds files
to it?
I played around a lot but could not get it to function as wanted.
Hi Rainer, Dan
I just tested this, with
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("ka" "aaa" alltodo ""
((org-agenda-files
'("~/lib/emacs/work/org-mode/test/a.org"
("kb" "bbb" alltodo ""
((org-agenda-files
'("~/lib/emacs/work/org-mode/test/b.org"))
with small files a.org and b.org containing just one TODO entry, and
of course my full suite of TODO entries available with `C-c a t'.
And then I do
C-c a t
C-c a a
C-c a b
C-c a t
and it all works just fine, going back end forth between these in any
sequence.
Anyway, the syntax is quite complex.
I wonder if some more examples for changing agenda files when
executing custom commands would be helpful.
Anyone else who wants to see Agenden at home from different sets of
agenda files?
I think a good way is also to keep the list of agenda files in a file,
like
~/.agenda_files_home and ~/.agenda_files_work.
The you can have different sets of files, and switch by making org-
agenda-files
(defun org-my-toggle-agenda-file-set ()
(interactive)
(if (equal org-agenda-files "~/.agenda_files_work")
(setq org-agenda-files "~/.agenda_files_home")
(setq org-agenda-files "~/.agenda_files_work"))

Hi all,
I found the problem. I used "org-agenda-directory" instead of org-agenda-files.
Not recognising that this variable doesn't seem to exist (did it ever exist?)
I assumed I can use it to indicate the org files folder.
With org-agenda-files everything works perfectly.
I now have about 48 custom commands (partly of course hierarchical) and with
dynamically changing the set of org files I really feel I have control over my
todos!
I am very happy with org!
Thank you both!

Richard Riley wrote: > I thought some of you linux users might like this - use > gnome-osd-client to put an on screen reminder of your looming > appointments. In a similar vein, I've coded something for Windows. It's an interactive function currently called "my-org-update-desktop-from-agenda". It takes the current week's agenda view and sets it as the desktop's wallpaper. Not an alert, but it keeps your workload forever in front of you. It needs a couple of functions defined in .emacs and a windows executable (90KB) that I've written which updates the desktop wallpaper from an html file. The wallpaper will look exactly the same as the agenda view you'd normally see within org-mode. It's trivial to adjust one of the functions if you prefer more/fewer days than 7 displayed. Only tested on the setup quoted in sig. Anyone who'd like a bundled copy of the required bits, just drop me an email: chris[at]amlog[dot]co[dot]uk.

[Orgmode] Possible bug in task breakdown recounting, narrowing problem from agenda or sparse tree?
In an org file that looks like this: #+STARTUP: odd #+STARTUP: hidestars #+TAGS: :meta:test: #+CATEGORY: Test * PROJECT [0/5] Made up of several todo's *** TODO first *** TODO second *** TODO third *** TODO fourth *** TODO fifth And with my todo keywords looking like this: (setq org-todo-keywords '( (sequence "INBOX(i)" "TICKLER(t!)" "|" "FILE(f@)" "CANCELED(k@)") (sequence "TODO" "WAITING" "VERIFY" "|" "DONE" "REASSIGNED") (sequence "DAILY(d!)" "|" "DONEDLY" "UNSCHEDDLY(D@)") (sequence "WEEKLY(e!)" "|" "DONEWKLY" "UNSCHEDWKLY(E@)") (sequence "MONTHLY(m!)" "|" "DONEMNTHLY" "UNSCHEDMNTHLY(M@)") (sequence "APPT" "RESCHEDULE(s@)" "|" "APPTPAST" "APPTCANCELED(n@)") (sequence "REQUEST(r!)" "REQWAITING(w@/!)" "REQVERIFY(v)" "|" "REQCLOSED(c!)" "REQREASSIGNED(a@)") (sequence "PROJECT(P!)" "PROJWAITING(W@/!)" "PROJVERIFY(V)" "|" "PROJCLOSED(C!)" "PROJREASSIGNED(A@)") )) According to (info "(org)Breaking down tasks") marking one of these as one of the DONE states (in this sequence it would be either "DONE" or "REASSIGNED") should change the PROJECT breakdown to [1/5]. If I am in the buffer with that org file, it's completely unfolded, and I do it, that's the effect I get. However, if: (a) the outline of that project is partially or completely folded to begin with, and (b) I change the TODO to DONE in the Agenda buffer, it seems to narrow around that TODO item, and the breakdown becomes [0/1] or some smaller number than the actual number of subtasks under the project. I just tried it with a sparse tree that only unfolded to display the third TODO item, and the same thing happened, so I guess it's probably something to do with the way the sparse tree works with folding. I'm running org-mode 6.07b downloaded from the website.

[Orgmode] font lock mode can't get to work
I am using emacs/org mode 6.07b on linux (ubuntu Hardy) and am having
a problem with the font lock mode.
adding -*- mode: org; -*- to the file itself works fine, but simply
loading a test.org file doesn't activate org mode.
I have tried commenting out and back in different options in .emacs,
but none seem to work.
I only have these lines in .emacs at the moment.
; Org -Mode;;
(setq load-path (cons "~/EmacsAddins/Orgmode/lisp" load-path))
(setq load-path (cons "~/EmacsAddins/Orgmode/contrib/lisp" load-path))
(require 'org-install)
;; The following lines are always needed. Choose your own keys.
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)
(global-font-lock-mode 1); for all buffers
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock) ; Org buffers only
I presume I am doing something stupid, but can someone tell me what it might be.
Thanks,
Graham

This line looks wrong. What's the extra \\' for after .org?
I have the following:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\)$" . org-mode))
so that any files ending in .org or .org_archive trigger org-mode.

Ah, your comments have made me realise what the problem is. The line
has been copied from the PDF of the manual, but the single apostrophe
doesn't paste properly. I had corrected one but not the other.
Its working now. I did know it was going to be something stupid.
Thanks, your post made me look at this line that much more closely.

RE: [Orgmode] Re: font lock mode can't get to work
I think the "\\'" after ".org" is to match the end of the filename.
>From emacs info section "Regexp Backslash",
`\''
matches the empty string, but only at the end of the string or
buffer (or its accessible portion) being matched against.

There are no differences in the load sequence (the error pops up well before any window system specific loads). Anyone have any idea what this might be about or can advise me on how best to debug it?
