Open issues with Org mode

Introduction

This is a simple mailing list based tracker for issues and other things about Org mode. It is a replacement of the abandoned todo file and incorporates it's structure and parts of the nomenclature. The purpose of this document is to keep track of issues, i.e. anything that requires some kind of actions, and other things like announcements, hacks, feature ideas and the like.

Nomenclature

On this page, TODO keywords are used in the following way:

KeywordIntention
NEWA new issue that is not yet classifed.
TODOA task to be done. This includes but is not limited to answers to user requests, development or documentation tasks.
ASSIGNEDSomeone started to take care of this task. A property ASSIGNEE should provide a hint on who it is.
IDEAA new idea, I have not yet decided what if anything I will do about it.
WISHA wish, probably voiced by someone on emacs-orgmode@gnu.org. This is less than a new idea, more a change in existing behavior.
DECLINEDA feature or idea that was declined. Still in the list so that people can see it, complain, or still try to convince Carsten to implement it.
INCONSISTENCYSome behavior in Org-mode that is not as clean and consistent as it should be.
BUGThis needs to be fixed, as soon as possible.
QUESTIONA question someone asked.
DONEWell, done is done.

In addition, tags are used to provide more detailed context information. Currently these tags are used in this file:

TagContext
BabelIssue concerning the library of Babel
MobilIssue concerning MobileOrg
PatchA patch is available via Org mode's Patchwork tracker
NewAll issue below headline New Issues.

Document structure and maintenance

New issues hitting the Org mode mailing list are recorded on a (almost) daily basis using a yet to be published library that allows operating on the issue file from within Wanderlust and (partly) Gnus.

They are first filed to the heading New Issues.

In a second step issues beneath this heading are reviewed. If an issue triggers a development task it is properly classified (keywords, tag) and refiled to heading Development Task. If it is a user request, it is classified using the TODO keyword QUESTION and file to heading User Requests. If it is already closed according to the mailing list, it is immediately closed and moved to Closed issues. If it cannot yet be classified or closed, it stays where it is.

Using this file

This file is hosted and published on Worg. So you can either read the file via your browser or check out Worg's git repository.

Everyone is encouraged to use this file to facilitate collaboration in solving issue and extending Org mode. Thus, you can operate on the entries as you wish, as long as the ID property is kept intact.

Operating on this file includes, but is not limited to, classifying new issues, doing research on an outstanding task, or grouping related issues into a development task. If you start to take care of an open issue or task, please put a token in a headline property called "ASSIGNEE", so others can see that you started to take care of this issue.

Structure

TODO Get rid of all the \r instances, which were used only for XEmacs.

WISH proper visibility cycling for items

Make them not hide the text after the final list item. This is not trivial, we cannot usenormal outline stuff, needs a separate implementation.

WISH Create unique clocktable links

Gmane
Bug: clocktable :link often jumps to wrong target (6.36c)
Links created by clocktable :link are simple "text search" links.
Therefore, they often hit the wrong target.

For example, I used to have multiple clocktables at the beginning of my
file: first a daily summary, then a weekly one, then a complete one,
i.e. following clocktables summarized supersets of preceding ones.
Therefore, most of the time I clicked a link in the first clocktable,
the next "text search" target was the occurrence of the same task in the
second clocktable, whereas clicking that link in the second clocktable
would take me back into the first.

I have been able to partly work around that by moving the clocktables to
the end of the file, as the search always seems to start at the
beginning of the file.  Nevertheless, when I have two tasks "foobar" and
"foo", occurring in that order in the file, clicking on the [[foo]]
link in the clocktable takes me to the "foobar" task, as that has a
"foo" substring and occurs first in the file.

I would like clocktable to generate links that uniquely link to the task
from which the particular clocktable entry has been generated.  (I'd
even be willing to assign CUSTOM_ID properties for that purpose,
i.e. clocktable could take them into account for creating links, when
they exist.)  But the best solution would IMHO be a truly unique
identification, e.g. by some XPath-like path, e.g. /1/2/3 for the 3rd
subtask of the 2nd subtask of the 1st top-level task.  (Sure, that order
will be invalidated when I change my task list, but, so what, then I
would be willing to recompute the clocktable before using links.)

BUG Strange bug, request for more info

Gmane
Re: Strange bug, request for more info

The bug happens when being in the agenda and trying to goto or show the origin location of an agenda entry by pressing SPC or RET. John reports that sometimes (for him several times a day), the other window shows a completely different location. The most weird part of it is that going back to the agenda buffer and then trying the exact same command again, everything works fine! This is driving me crazy, and I'd love to find and fix this problem.

Re: (Orgmode) custom sorting of agenda items

When giving a user-defined function for org-agenda-cmp-user-defined, the function gets two agenda entries. Is there a way from an agenda entry to get to the original org entry?

Best would be if, besides a user-defined sort function, you could also provide a function that takes the org entry and the agenda item (i.e. is run with point on the org entry and is passed the agenda item), and can then store anything it wants about the org entry as text properties on the agenda item. The companion user-defined sorting function could then use these stored text properties for ordering the agenda items. Could you add such a hook?

Links

WISH Variable of standard links for completion with C-c C-l

IDEA Find all links to a specific file

IDEA Resolve links on export

  • Example: Make info HTML links work for links to Info files

    Info links of course only work inside Emacs. However, many info documents are on the web, so the HTML exporter could try to be smart and convert an Info link into the corresponding link on the web. For example, we could use the GNU software site then Name.HTML. Here is the link to be used: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/ Another question is, is this URL going to be stable so that it makes sense to actually put this into org.el?

TODO Document the character protection in links

I don't think this is really covered anywhere. Maybe we also should protect characters in the visible part, to make sure thing will never be on two lines…?

WISH Radio targets across files

I guess each org file could write a .orgtargets.filename file, if it has any radio targets.

INCONSISTENCY image link inconsistency in org-mode 6.36c

IDEA Mailcap support of Org file links

Gmane
Choosing external app at runtime?

When I follow a link, Org mode knows what application to use. Except that sometimes I want to override that choice.

For example, I have a collection of PDF files. Mostly I want to open them in my statically configured PDF viewer, which is fine. But sometimes I want to open one in Xournal, say, to annotate it.

My mail client Wanderlust will ask me in cases like this: if multiple mailcap entries match, I get to choose when opening the attachment.

Any chance we could do a similar thing in Org mode?

IDEA Dereference file links on export or open

Gmane
Re: (babel) exports, caching, remote execution

Is "scpc" in the line above a transport protocol? Maybe this should be an org-mode wide features, i.e. the ability to resolve remote file references with C-c C-o and on export. Does that sound reasonable, and would it take care of the need in this particular case?

Tables

WISH Row formulas

WISH Make a variable that current line should be recomputed always

In each table. Skipping headers of course.

WISH include value of single table cell in text?

Re: (Orgmode) Verbatim LaTeX inside delimiters in HTML export with jsMath?

I noticed the following behavior: A comment line starting with "#" immediately before a \begin{equation} environment is passed verbatim as well. I don't think it counts as a bug, since there should probably be a blank line before \begin anyway.

This issue has been fixed.

Roland Winkler was kind enough to implement a new argument to the `bibtex-url' command that allows me to retrieve the corresponding URL, whether it is taken from a URL field or constructed in some clever way.

Priorities

Here is some information about priorities, which is not yet documented. Actually, I am not sur if the list here is correct either

  • Priorities

                              i.e. it goes above top todo stuff 7 days
                                   before due
        SCHEDULED is 5-ddays, i.e. it is 5 on the due date
                              i.e. it goes above top todo on the due day
        TIMESTAMP is 0        i.e. always at bottom
                              but as a deadline it is 100
                              but if scheduled it is 99
        TIMERANGE is 0        i.e. always at bottom

BUG org-indent fails to play nicely with org-inlinetask

Gmane
Two bugs in org-indent (plus a fix to correct one of them)
  1. It destroys the special fontification of the inline task's leading stars, even if org-indent-mode-turns-on-hiding-stars is set to nil
  2. Any text after an inline task's END statement is soft-indented as though it were part of the inline task, whereas the indentation should ideally return to what it was before the inline task. Of course, this is also a problem when org-indent is turned off, if you try to automatically hard-indent using TAB. However, in that case you can adjust by hand the indentation of the first line after the inline task, and then all the following lines will indent correctly. With org-indent the problem is much worse since there is no way of adjusting the soft indents by hand.

Re: (Orgmode) (org-babel) Does org-babel needs some simplification?

I guess, the manual maintainers do NOT have to be experts in both org-mode resp. org-babel nore they have to be experts in the supported language. Its more about the kind of standard stuff and maybe, to complex stuff even scare people. More things like "How to create a measurement protocol with org-babel and python", How to evaluate and report data analysis with org-babel and R", etc.

To make it more easy for both the readers and the maintainers a kind of template for such manuals might be helpful. This would help to find the same information at the same locations and make a comparison e.g. between the use of R and python possible.

I'am not an expert for both org-* and python and I'm often very limited in time. However, I would try to maintain a "python and org-babel" manual.

If there are more people who are interested to act as a kind of manual maintainers I would like to discuss with you how a template might look like.

IDEA Feature-Ideas

Gmane
Feature-Ideas

I have severel ideas about new features that I want to share. My knowledge with lisp and the coding of the org-structure is bad so far, so I can't try to contribute a patch.

  • 1. Alias - Trees

    When I work on projects, I often want to reference to a certain other heading. It would be great to do this not just with links, but with an alias.

    I think of trees, that show up and can be in the current tree as if they were a subtree, but really are at another position in the current or a different file.

    This concept would also allow seperate versioning and merging of external generated content into the current file. ( I e.g. think of summaries of text in the scientific context. )

  • 2. More flexible Colouring for categories, tags, …

    It would be great to have the opportunity to define individual faces for different categories, tags , … .

  • 3. Implementation of hourly/minutely reference.

    It would be useful to be able to schedule something to repeat every 12 or 6 hours or in 22 minutes. It would also be useful, to have the opportunity to associate asynchronous shell scripts with individual scheduled events.

  • 4. Exclude certain days from Timeline

    The opportunity to give whole days the status <PLANNED for a certain project> . That would mean, that when I fire up the Timeline for a current file (L), certain days are show with a message "day is planned for project <FILE>. in a certain project specific project.

    It would also be useful to have a keycommand in the Timeline to switch other files on showing them in gray.

  • 5. Manually timeclock certain Headings

    I would love to have a commands that can change the clocktime of not running headings or insert new clocktimes into the current heading. E.g. like this:

    Change the clocktime of <HEADING>: (s) change last timeclock and keep the Start time. -> How long did it last? (e) change last timeclock and keep the End time -> How long did it last? (# C-u offset to change the #n last timeclock) (a) add new timeclock -> Ask for Start and End. (with opportunity to specify the END relative)

  • 6. Expand timestamps to include locations

    e.g. <LOCATION 2008-01-01 12:30 +1w> Special timestamp-commands that also ask for places and presents a list of all places of all projects to choose from.

  • 7. More complex timeclock-reports

    Is anyone working on a more comprehensive way of giving visual feedback and analysing the data of the timeclock-feature. (What have I done the last month? How many time has gone to which project / etc.) I am a relatively known GNU R user and could contribute code for analysis of time usage / plotting complex more diagrams in R. Allthough I am not very used to the export mechanisms in Orgmode. Does anyone like to cooperate?

IDEA Syntax to trigger org-capture (Re: (Orgmode) camel.el, for CamelCase links)%!

Gmane
Syntax to trigger org-capture (Re: (Orgmode) camel.el, for CamelCase links)

When you think of CamelCase and on-the-fly creating of non-existing files/headlines, it's just another way of capturing stuff.

Why not defining some simple syntax to trigger the capture mechanism from special links?

For example:

"I write a reference to a >c:newfile which I can create later."

  • The ">c:newfile" is a link.
  • The ">c" is a link abbreviation.
  • The ">" part is the syntax for link abbrevations to trigger a capture.
  • The "c" part is the keybinding of capture template to call.
  • The "newfile" would be passed on as a variable for the (nth 3) of the template (we could have several variables separated by "#"

    This would combine the flexibility of on-the-fly file creation and of the capture mechanism, allowing multiple templates.

    What do you think?

DECLINED Blank rows with capture target table-line and aborting capture

Gmane
is it a bug in org-capture

When I hit C-c c t, and then C-c C-k immediately, the file test.org is still modified with an new blank row inserted in the table, which is out of expectation, since C-c C-k is known as "abort capture". The minibuffer says "org-capture-finalize: Capture process aborted, but target buffer could not be cleaned up correctly".

Unfortunately this is difficult to fix, because the user might have changed other things before aborting. At least the error message is clear and gives the user the opportunity to fix the problem.
