[O] How can I add a note to a TODO state change sometimes but not always?
I have this in a projects file: #+TODO: TODO(t!) WAITING(w!) DONE(d!) CANCELED(c@) When I move something from TODO to WAITING, it adds a timestamp without asking for a note. That's fine 8 or 9 times out of 10 ... but sometimes I want to add a note too. If I use the @ it will always ask me for a note, and I have to C-c C-c to get out of that. I'd like to avoid that if I can. Is there a way (a prefix or alternate command) that I can use to have Org let me add an optional note when I change a TODO state? I see that C-c C-z (org-add-note) adds a note, but it does it to the item as a whole, not to the WAITING workflow change, like so: * WAITING Find out how to sometimes add a note when I change to WAITING - Note taken on [2014-09-11 Thu 11:36] \\ Asked on mailing list - State "WAITING"from "WAITING"[2014-09-11 Thu 11:30] - State "WAITING"from "TODO" [2014-09-11 Thu 11:25] Thanks, Bill -- William Denton ↔ Toronto, Canada ↔ http://www.miskatonic.org/
[O] electric-indent-mode in Emacs 25 not indenting in Org
I got tired of waiting for prettify-symbols-mode so I compiled Emacs from source, which gives me version 25.0.50.1 (25 being next after 24.4). I noticed something odd with electric-indent-mode, which I had enabled, and which is on by default in 24.4. If I run Emacs 24.3 (my Ubuntu system default) as emacs -Q, then run M-x electric-indent-mode to enable the mode, open foo.org, and type * Heading then when I hit return the cursor ends up under the H. That is one of the things electric-indent-mode does. But when I run Emacs 25 with emacs -Q, check to make sure electric-indent-mode is enabled and see that it is because that's the default, open foo.org, and type * Heading then when I hit return the cursor ends up under the *!

[O] No mention of ":results graphics" in docs on code blocks
I just noticed there's no mention of the ":results graphics" header argument in the Org manual. This worg documentation about source code blocks and R does mention it: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-R.html "If the value is :results graphics then 'base' graphics output is captured on disk, and a link to the graphics file is inserted into the Org Mode buffer (as is also the case with the graphics-only languages such as gnuplot, ditaa, dot, and asymptote.)" (It goes on to say ":results output graphics" is necessary with ggplot2 images, but that's no longer true.) I'm afraid I don't know enough about this header argument or its use elsewhere to offer a documentation patch, so I'm just pointing it out. Working with R code blocks in Org is great.

[O] R code blocks and 'could not find function ".ess.eval"'
This problem was reported last month and then again earlier this month, for example here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-10/msg00178.html I'm running Emacs 25.0.50.2, Org 8.2.10 and ESS 14.1x. I'm getting a lot of Error: could not find function ".ess.eval" errors when evaluating R code blocks, even simple ones like this: #+BEGIN_SRC R :session :exports results 1 + 1 #+END_SRC I have a more complicated Org file with a bunch of R in it that I want to export to a PDF, but I get this: Args out of range: #, 0 ,1 I've been trying to debug it and seemed to narrow down a minimal example to whether or not a simple block had ":exports results" in it, but yesterday when working on this some process would go haywire and my machine would slow down and then freeze! I had to force a reboot. I've never had Emacs do that before. I see that a patch was introduced for ob-R.el that fixes the 'could not find function ".ess.eval"' problem---will that be pushed into the main release soon? And has anyone else been running into problems like this recently? From what I saw in the archives it looks like it went away for most people.

[O] Using org-lookup-all to count values in a table column
I'm taking a stab at keeping my reading diary in Org. I keep track of all the books I read, and some other facts about them, including whether they're fiction (F) or nonfiction (N). So I would have a table something like the books table below, and I'd like to do some analysis on it and put the results in another table. I'd like to count how many books are of Type F and how many of Type N, and it looks like matching values with org-lookup-all (as explained in [1]) is the right way, but I can't get it to work. I have this: #+TBLNAME: books | Title| Author | Type | |--++--| | NOS4A2 | Joe Hill | F| | Gun Machine | Warren Ellis | F| | Carry On, Jeeves | P.G. Wodehouse | F| | Time Reborn | Lee Smolin | N| #+TBLNAME: analysis | Fact | Value | |---+---| | Fiction books | 1 | | Nonfiction books | | #+TBLFM: $2@2='(length(org-lookup-all "F" '(remote(books,$3@2..$3@>)) nil)) The fiction count should be 3, not 1.

Now, I could use :dir /me@remote: to run that on another machine. And if I want to run that on multiple machines I could change the target as needed. Has anyone taken this to the next level so it's easier to manage tasks like this, more reproducible, tidier, and closer to Ansible or Chef? If so I'd love to see an example. Or if anyone's tried and found it's just easier to use a proper purpose-built system, that's good to know too.

[O] How to make footnotes be fnlocal by default?
I'm writing something with a bunch of footnotes and instead of doing them by hand I'm using C-c C-x f, which in the usual Emacs/Org way strikes me as a more difficult at first but then turns into magic. By default, adding a footnote puts it at the bottom of the document. This is because of org-footnote-define-inline: 'Non-nil means define footnotes inline, at reference location. When nil, footnotes will be defined in a special section near the end of the document. When t, the [fn:label:definition] notation will be used to define the footnote at the reference position." However, there are three (not two) possible options available in STARTUP options: fninlinedefine footnotes inline fnnoinline define footnotes in separate section fnlocal define footnotes near first reference, but not inline I found I like fnlocal, which puts the footnotes at the bottom of the paragraph or section, where they are nearby and easy to see. I'd like to make this the default in all Org files by setting org-footnote-define-inline, but it seems I can't---all I can definte that way are the fninline and fnnoinline options. Am I correct? Is there some way around this, or perhaps a (setq org-footnote-define-inline 'fnlocal) setting could be added? Bill -- William Denton ↔ Toronto, Canada ↔ https://www.miskatonic.org/

[O] xwidgets
Emacs 25.1 supports xwidgets, which Mickey Petersen explains as [1]: This is a really cool feature. You can embed other widgets inside Emacs buffers. It’s a feature that Windows users will handily recognize as OLE integration – a staple feature of Windows since the 90s. This feature is more limited, however, as it only works with GTK. For now there is just one feature that makes use of this: the Webkit browser integration. You can now browse web pages with webkit inside Emacs. The feature – having played with it a lot – is in the very early stages still. I would consider it alpha quality, but with it integrated into Emacs progress is likely to be swift. Is anyone thinking about how this could (should? would?) be used in Org? It struck me that this could lead to Org being able to do more interactive things with sliders like Jupyter notebooks and RStudio (for R) allow. Whether that's a good thing to do, or indeed possible, I don't know, but I'm curious to know if anyone's got ideas about how xwidgets might be used in Org, if they're hacking on it, etc. Cheers, Bill [1] https://masteringemacs.org/article/whats-new-in-emacs-25-1 -- William Denton :: Toronto, Canada :: https://www.miskatonic.org/ Caveat lector.

[O] Bug? org-export-babel-evaluate setting breaks :exports results
I'm working on a big Org file on a slow machine, so I set org-export-babel-evaluate to nil so exporting to PDF just generates the file from what's in the buffer, without doing any calculating. I have a mix of source blocks, and all of a sudden the code began to appear in the PDF when all I wanted were the results. I boiled it down to the example below. If you save that to a file, load it, ~C-c C-e l o RET~ to export to PDF, you will see the ls command and the output, even though the setting is ":exports results". Now delete the org-export-babel-evaluate line, ~C-x C-v RET~ to reload the file and pick up the new setting, then export to PDF. You will not see the ls command, just the output. ## BEGIN # -*- org-export-babel-evaluate: nil -*- #+BEGIN_SRC shell :results value :exports results ls /etc | wc -l #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : 307 ## END I'm not sure what's happening, but it seems like a bug.

By default the LaTeX export uses the article class, and headline levels are mapped to headings this way: top level becomes section, second level becomes subsection, third level becomes subsubsection.

If the book class is used, then the top level becomes part, the second level becomes chapter, the third level becomes section, the fourth level becomes subsection, etc. That works well too, of course, but what if I don't want to use "part"? Is there a way, exporting as a book, to make Org skip "part" and make a top-level Org headline turn into a chapter?

[O] Very nice how pointer stays in place when moving from source code block to major mode edit buffer
I never noticed it before, but if you're in a source block in an Org document, moving and editing, and then you hit C-c ' to open up the block in a buffer of its own with the proper major mode, the pointer stays where you were! (At least with R blocks.) This is really nice. Somehow I just always asssumed I'd end up at the start of the new buffer.

[O] R-generated images not showing
This problem started for me a little while ago: images generated from R source blocks no longer appear even though I have images display turned on. For example, this file: # - #+begin_src R :results graphics file :file /tmp/src.png x <- seq(-4, 4, length=200) y <- dnorm(x, mean=0, sd=1) plot(x,y, type = "l", lwd = 2, xlim = c(-3.5,3.5)) #+end_src #+RESULTS: [[file:/tmp/src.png]] # - I don't see the image, I just see the text "file:/tmp/src.png". When image-display is off (C-c C-x C-v) it becomes a link, and when I toggle it back on it's just plain text. The file on disk really is there and is a valid image. If I run the three R lines in an ESS window (M-x R) then the image pops up in its own window, as normal. I ran "emacs -Q" and loaded up Org and enough Babel stuff to the source block to work, and the image appeared inline as it should! So it's something to do with my config [1] but I can't figure out what. Has anyone ever had this happen, or noticed it recently? I'm compiling Emacs and Org from source and both are current. I'm not sure what the easiest way to identify the problem is.

Re: [O] Table aligning and editing in 9.2
On 7 September 2017, Nicolas Goaziou wrote: What workflow are you missing? Note that typing in a shrunk column expands it. Previously one could edit the contents of a cell in a shrunken column without doing anything special: move the point in, move to a position, then hit any key (space, delete, a letter), and the change is made. If a character is deleted then the => at the end comes closer; if added it moves away. C-c C-c or TAB realigns everything. Everything is directly editable: the text can be operated on without any barriers. But now the cell contents are locked until either a) C-C ` opens up an edit buffer (which was useful before for editing a long piece of text that got shrunk, but is a lot of work when you have something short like "Foo" in a <10> column and want to make it "Bar") or, as you point out, b) something is typed in the shrunk column. But when something is typed in a shrunk column, the column expands and the point is now at the start of the cell. To edit anything in the cell, you need to hit "a" or SPC or something just to get in there, then you need to delete it, then move to where you want to make a change, then edit. And then C-c C-c or TAB doesn't realign things, you need to hit C-c TAB. So the workflow is different, and in each piece it's more awkward. Everything works---and I appreciate that the code and implementation is much cleaner now---but it seems like some of the magic that makes Org tables so wonderful is now gone. :( Bill -- William Denton :: Toronto, Canada --- Listening to Art: https://listeningtoart.org/ https://www.miskatonic.org/ --- GHG.EARTH: http://ghg.earth/ Caveat lector. --- STAPLR: http://staplr.org/
