[Orgmode] enabling org-protocol with Firefox 3 and Ubuntu 9.04
Hi everybody, if you have tried to enable org-protocol under Firefox you might run into the issue that firefox does not start emacsclient, no matter what the about:config variables say. After spending some time I discovered that this is an issue of Firefox's integration with Gnome. What you need is to tell Gnome that you have a new URI protocol called org-protocol, and that emacsclient is responsible for it. This is done with the following two commands (be careful to indicate the correct full path of emacsclient): gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/org-protocol/command -t string '/usr/bin/emacsclient %s' gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/org-protocol/enabled -t boolean true --dmg -- -- Daniel M.

Hi Richard, Richard> Hi Daniel, Richard> There is no support for this in MobileOrg yet, but it has resided on my todo list for a while.

I suspect many people would be willing to change encryption method to the one used in org if it was "good enough". * On the other there is the people who are only interested in encrypting the files in the server to avoid them to be browsed by unwanted eyes. I suspect that even a simple symmetric encryption method will be sufficient here for the majority of the users. these two uses cases are not mutually exclusive. One can imagine an scenario where only one or more files are encrypted at the client level, but the user wants all the files uploaded to the server to be made available in encrypted mode at the file system level on the server. Which get me thinking... is there a way to decrypt the files on the file at the server as they are requested by the mobile-org client? In other words, the files are encrypted in the server, but when the user requests them (and provides the proper credentials---such as in the current environment) the files are then decrypted on the file before they are sent to the iphone. I suspect this is probably implemented somehow. I have an iphone development environment (no dev. license though) and I learning objective-C.

Great. I have now a patch for xournal that supports page numbers from

Re: [Orgmode] protocol for PDFs?
I have implemented 'Remember' in xournal. I doubt this feature will ever make into the mainstream. You can check out my fork. it contains many features not in the current distribution, but useful, including very rudimentary search support, ability to jump to next and previous annotations: http://github.com/dmgerman/xournal or you can cherry pick my commits. Look for Remember under the edit menu. By default it would use the name of the PDF file (if one exits), otherwise it will use the .XOJ file. I am curious to see if we can select text in xournal. I don't use Link (only remember) but that would be easy to implement too. The infrastructure is there now. Jan> PS: I am very interested in integrating Xournal with Org.

[Orgmode] org-remember support in xournal
Hi everybody, I am sorry I have been a bit slow to finish the integration of xournal with remember mode. I think I got it working. My branch of xournal is available at github: http://github.com/jboecker/xournal If the loaded file in xournal is a PDF, the remember link is created to the .pdf file. Otherwise it is created to the .xoj file. In both cases the protocol is docview: emacsclient 'org-protocol://remember://docview:filename::pagenumber Evince has become a bit trickier because it does not support jumping to a specific page number (it uses labels instead). So I need to do a bit more hacking within it. Remember, this is an unofficial branch of xournal. It actually supports more features than xournal (such as jumping to previous, next annotation, very, very rough search features, and ability to attach images to the xoj file. --dmg -- -- Daniel M.

[O] a window with my agenda at all times
Hi everybody, I struggle to keep (in emacs) a window with the agenda at all times. If anybody has any pointers on how to get a window or a frame to "stick" at all times with the contents of a frame, and basically be ignored from any window-related command (split, kill, etc), I would be grateful. For a long time I have wanted a sticky window that keeps this information. Like a sticky note on my desktop (think a widget in Android). I wrote a small program in qt that simply monitors a file and displays it. Nothing more. It does the work for me, and maybe somebody else will find it useful. It relies on exporting the agenda as html every time the org file is modified, and then this little program displays the html file. The window manager is responsible of removing decorations, making it sticky, and placing it in same place always. Here is a screenshot (see window to the bottom right). The decorations are removed by the window manager: http://turingmachine.org/hacking/org-mode/orgdisplay.png Here is the code.

[O] bug in expansion of variables in babel Perl
Hi Everybody,
I found a bug in the Babel perl code. When a table is used as input, the
values of the table are not escaped. In fact, they are surrounded by
double quotes " instead of single ones '. This means that special
characters are interpreted: $, and @ | jon
#+name: output(data=patito)
#+begin_src perl :results output
print "Begin\n";
print $$data[0][0], "\n";
print "End\n";
#+end_src
#+RESULTS: output
: Begin
: Jon
: End
--
I see two ways to solve this. The first is simply to replace the output
format of the variable from "%S" to "'%s'" (use quotes '). The other one
is to optionally escape the fields of the table (which is more
complicated, and would require replacing each). The third one is a
combination of both: replace them only if desired, via some header
configuration variable.

Debugging perl is very cumbersome in org-mode. It would be nice to have
a feature to export the source to a file. This is because the variable
expansion needs to be done before the code can be used (hence simply cut
and paste does not work, nor shell-command-on-region)
I used the org-babel-perl-command variable to replace perl with a script
that simply wrote to a file.
It would be nice to be able to write the script created by org a file,
so this can be debugged (it would have the variable definitions). Maybe
this is already a feature and I don't know about it.
As we are into it, I found this declaration to be very useful.

It does two things: it uses strict, so undeclared variables create
errors, and it also creates two functions: org_columns and org_rows
that, when used on the variable declared as input, return its number of
columns and rows:
my $rows = org_rows($data);
my $columns = org_columns($data);
the only problem with using strict is that variables would have to be
defined with "my" too: so that would require this patch:

I implemented a proof-of-concept. The idea is to have a variable called

[O] babel :results output and format of output
hi everybody,
I have been testing babel with perl and I am very puzzled by the
following:
Say I have the following script that outputs 10 numbers. org/babel wraps
it as a begin_example
#+begin_src perl :results output
for (my $i=0;$i<10;$i++) {
print "$i\n";
}
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
#+end_example
But if my script only outputs 9 lines then the format is not wrapped by
#+begin_example, and instead is prefixed by :
#+begin_src perl :results output
for (my $i=0;$i<9;$i++) {
print "$i\n";
}
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: 0
: 1
: 2
: 3
: 4
: 5
: 6
: 7
: 8
Is this behaviour expected? Is the threshold at which it happens
configurable?
thanks a lot for your help,
--dmg

[O] evaluation of perl in babel
Hi Everybody, I looked a bit more onto the way that perl is evaluated. I know the support of perl is minor. I understand that, so please, don't see this message as a complaint, so this is more for discussion and potential improvements of the Perl support in Babel. One of the things I have noticed is that the way that Babel handles the results coming from the code is not the best. Let me elaborate: At the bottom you will find a set of test that stress the different :results types. There are some bugs. For example, the interpretation of :results table, vector and list. But I think the main problem comes from the way that Babel expects the result. In Babel, and except for :results output, the last expression in perl is considered the input to the results. This is implementing by saving the last expression into a variable, and printing each value separated by a "\n" (including the last). So basically, org takes the last expression, and outputs them to the babel input file one per line. This places some constraints. First, it is not currently capable of dealing with two dimensional arrays. Second, it makes it hard to create complex output (such as HTML or LaTeX), and third, it is hard to debug without first printing the value of the array (this output would be lost during the evaluation, so it would have be debugged outside org). I feel that a better approach is to use std output as the default input to any of these :results types, and then try to parse them into the corresponding :results types. This will allow the creation of HTML and LaTeX from perl (which the current implementation does not allow). So recapitulating, my suggestion is that perl should use STDOUT as the output of the snippet in any :results type, rather than the result of the last expression. I know this will break backwards compatibility. One solution is to keep the current src perl and add a new perl_stdout mode (or something like that) that implements this. --dmg -- #+begin_src perl :results output print "Test\n"; (1, 2) #+end_src #+RESULTS: : Test #+name: t_output_raw #+begin_src perl :results raw print "Test\n"; (1, 2) #+end_src #+RESULTS: t_output_raw 1 2 #+name: t_output_table #+begin_src perl :results table print "Test\n"; (1, 2) #+end_src #+RESULTS: t_output_table | 1\n2\n | #+name: t_output_vector #+begin_src perl :results vector print "Test\n"; (1, 2) #+end_src #+RESULTS: t_output_vector | 1\n2\n | #+name: t_output_list #+begin_src perl :results list print "Test\n"; (1, 2) #+end_src #+RESULTS: t_output_list #+begin_example - 1 2 #+end_example #+name: t_output_org #+begin_src perl :results org print "Test\n"; (1, 2) #+end_src #+RESULTS: t_output_org #+BEGIN_SRC org 1 2 #+END_SRC #+name: t_output_html #+begin_src perl :results html print "Test\n"; (1, 2) #+end_src #+RESULTS: t_output_html #+BEGIN_HTML 1 2 #+END_HTML #+name: t_output_latex #+begin_src perl :results latex print "Test\n"; (1, 2) #+end_src #+RESULTS: t_output_latex #+BEGIN_LaTeX 1 2 #+END_LaTeX -- -- Daniel M.

I understand. But what I want is the output to be wrapped accordingly,
and my script to deliver exactly the output as expected. So say I want
to generate HTML in my script, I can use :results output, but then I
have to change to replace the #+being_example with #+begin_HTML.
I guess that I can generate a two dimensional table with perl too
using output (printing the necessary | and \n), but then it will be
wrapped with #+begin_example.

Perhaps a string can be the solution. Ok, I am testing:
#+begin_src perl :results table
("a|b|c|\n|c|d|e")
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
| a | b | c | \n | c | d | e |
Ok, this seems to be more useful that returning a list of values.
Is there a way to separate two rows in the result?
Thanks again Achim,

open my $BO, qq(>%s) or die qq( Perl: Could not open output file.$\\ );

#+begin_src perl :results table

what is the expected field separator for Org-babel?

[O] performance of exporting large tables
hi everybody, I have a table with 15 columns and 500 rows. One of the columns is a URL. org-mode is hanging while exporting the table. It does not seem to crash, but it is taking a significant amount of time. The worst part is that it does not appear to be linear. 80 rows -> 17 seconds 160 rows (same 80 rows duplicated) -> 58 seconds 160 rows, 8 columns -> 21 seconds (it seems to not matter which columns there are). I wonder if this is expected behaviour. Given that org does not sort the tables, why does the time increase non-linearly to the size of the table? If interested, I can make the table available. thanks a lot! --daniel -- Daniel M.
