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:
| Keyword | Intention |
|---|---|
| NEW | A new issue that is not yet classifed. |
| TODO | A task to be done. This includes but is not limited to answers to user requests, development or documentation tasks. |
| ASSIGNED | Someone started to take care of this task. A property ASSIGNEE should provide a hint on who it is. |
| IDEA | A new idea, I have not yet decided what if anything I will do about it. |
| WISH | A wish, probably voiced by someone on emacs-orgmode@gnu.org. This is less than a new idea, more a change in existing behavior. |
| DECLINED | A 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. |
| INCONSISTENCY | Some behavior in Org-mode that is not as clean and consistent as it should be. |
| BUG | This needs to be fixed, as soon as possible. |
| QUESTION | A question someone asked. |
| DONE | Well, done is done. |
In addition, tags are used to provide more detailed context information. Currently these tags are used in this file:
| Tag | Context |
|---|---|
| Babel | Issue concerning the library of Babel |
| Mobil | Issue concerning MobileOrg |
| Patch | A patch is available via Org mode's Patchwork tracker |
| New | All 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.

Development Tasks
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
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.)
DECLINED (ANN) New lists definition Patch
git@github.com:ngz/org-mode-lists.git branch: end-lists
Superseded by preserving location of point
Resolved - works with emacs -Q, so it is due to some other package.
Agenda issues
BUG 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.
WISH (new feature suggestion?) indicate 'repeater' nature in Agenda
Is there a way to quickly/visually differentiate between repeating/single-occurence tasks?
If not, something like say, adding an asterisk somewhere in the entry would be great.
- Scheduled* - starred schedule/deadline string
- TODO * - starred 'todo' string
- fifa2010* - starred 'category' string
DONE (PATCH) Add the ability to remove time ranges specifications for agenda items that span on several days Patch
WISH 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
Or something like that, to make standard links fast.
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.
IDEA Mailcap support of Org file links
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
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
@4=…..
WISH Make a variable that current line should be recomputed always
In each table. Skipping headers of course.
Exporting
WISH Re: Latex export bug? Odd behavior with figures
One suggestion, then… why not just have a nice list of all possible ATTR_LaTeX options? I have killed myself before looking for a simplified list. Maybe even just common ones since perhaps any LaTeX option may be passed?

DONE Comment before \begin{equation} exported verbatim
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.

- Google CL and org-mode
I have a question regarding the recent announcement of the Google Command Line project (http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/).
I was wondering if there are plans to integrate support for calendar synchronization between Google and org-mode using this tool.
DONE Literal examples and indentation
Ok, so the answer of my initial question is no.
That's a bit sad because, IMHO, this could a little be smarter than this. For example if the line to indent is an empty one, then don't insert indentation, or if the text is already indented then indent with respect of the current indentation, etc…
DONE patch: add event reminders to iCalendar export Patch

BUG Comments cannot be filled
TODO Use the new argument of bibtex-url
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. Currently I am not using this, because too many people use an old Emacs version which does not have this. however, eventually I will implement this.
IDEA Do we need a 43 folders implementation?
That could easily be done in an org-mode file. But then, maybe this should really be a paper thing.
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
TODO entries: 1 or 1,2,... DEADLINE is 10-ddays, i.e. it is 10 on the due day 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 DIARY is 0 i.e. always at bottom Priority * 1000
TODO grep on directory does not yet work.
I am actually not sure, I might have addressed this already, but my memory is failing me. Needs some checking.
IDEA Org-mode collaborative (multiple users working on the same set of files)
BUG org-indent fails to play nicely with org-inlinetask
- 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
- 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.

IDEA Re: (Orgmode) (org-babel) Does org-babel needs some simplification? Babel
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.
DECLINED (BUG) org remember broken
org-capure is now the default, I don't think we need to fix remember bugs anymore.
IDEA Code block switches buffer-wide?

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?
DONE Problem when org-capturing text from French email

Capture and refile
IDEA 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
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.
