This commit fixes the problem, in a slightly different way
than Adam proposed. Instead of trying to fix the old way to
find the position of the clock, we now simple search the
entry if there is an unfinished clock and go there. Since
new clocks are added before older ones, this should be a
safe bet.

This was caused by the fact that markers seem to point to the
base buffer always, so we need to check if the current buffer's
base buffer is equal to the marker buffer.

Fixed with this commit, a patch written by Peter Jones.

This commit is the patch Adam sent in.
Clock lines are now by default captured into the drawer LOGBOOK. This
means that, if state notes are also captured into a drawer, they will
be mixed with notes.

My TODO sequence is set up as following:
(setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s!)"
"WAITING(w@/!)" "MAYBE(m/!)" "DELEGATED(g@/!)"
"DEFERRED(d!/!)" "HOLD(h!/!)" "|" "DONE(x)" "CANCELED(c)")))
The state change logging is great, but I wonder whether we can
further improve it:
1. Can we also include the original state in the log message?
i.e.: instead of having - State "DEFERRED" [2009-02-11 Wed 11:38]
we can have
- State "DEFERRED" from "HOLD" [2009-02-11 Wed 11:38]
The message will be clearer, and useful even when somebody edited
the TODO keyword in place without using the "org-todo" command
(in that case, simply looking at all the "destination states" in
the log message does not give us the right information).
This strikes me like a good idea, so I have implemented it with this
commit.
Consider a file with 2 lines:
------------------
**** heading
------------------
Place the cursor at line 2 (where you can type). Then use C-c C-x C-i
to start a clock.
You have now 3 lines:
------------------
**** heading
CLOCK: [2009-02-07 sb 01:06]
------------------
However, the cursor is still placed at line 2, like before. I think
it would be more useful if it were moved to line 3 so that you can
start writing right away, just as before. This saves you the C-n
needed to move again to a blank line.
This commit implements exactly this request.
Daniel Clemente noticed that the clock drawer, when it is created for
the second clock entry, will swallow a plain list item after it,
because it thinks it might be a clock note.
This commit makes this function check for indentation. If the plain
list item is indented less than the last clock line, it will be
assumed that it does not belong to the clocking line, and the drawer
will not swallow the item.

Whatever week I put in :block, it puts one less in the title. It

There was a problem wit the week starting date.

If a heading has tags, then that heading's time summary
overlay (shown by C-c C-x C-d) is displayed using the
org-tag face. This looks a bit strange. Is it intended? It
is especially noticeable in my case, since I have my tags
shown in a smaller font.
This is cause by the fact that we use the `secondary-selection' face
here which only highlights but inherits the rest from what is below.
The idea was that these clock times should have the same color as the
headline they belong to, but this idea is defeated when a line has tags
with a very different face.
This commit introduces a separate face for this purpose, so that users
can customize it.
Unique identifiers for entries can now be used more efficiently.
Internally, a hash array has replaced the alist used so far to
keep track of the files in which an ID is defined. This makes it
quite fast to find an entry by ID.
There is now a new link type which looks like this:
id:GLOBALLY-UNIQUE-IDENTIFIER
This link points to a specific entry. When you move the entry to
a different file, for example if you move it to an archive
file, this link will continue to work.
The file /org-id.el/ contains an API that can be used to write
code using these identifiers, including creating IDs and finding
them wherever they are.
Org has its own method to create unique identifiers, but if the
system has /uuidgen/ command installed (Mac's and Linux systems
generally do), it will be used by default. You an also select
the method by hand, using the variable =org-id-method=.
If the ID system ever gets confused about where a certain ID is,
it initiates a global scan of all agenda files with associated
archives, all files previously known containing any IDs, and all
currently visited Org-mode files to rebuild the hash. You can
also initiate this by hand: =M-x org-id-update-id-locations=.
Running this command will also dump into the =*Messages*= buffer
information about any duplicate IDs. These should not exist, but
if you /copy/ an entry with its properties, duplicate IDs will
inevitably be produced. This is unavoidable in a plain text
system that allows you to edit the text in arbitrary ways, and a
portion of care on your side is needed to keep this system clean.
The hash is stored in the file =~/.emacs.d/.org-id-locations=.
This is also a change from previous versions where the file was
=~/.org=id-locations=. Therefore, you can remove this old file
if you have it. I am not sure what will happen if the =.emacs.d=
directory does not exists in your setup, but in modern Emacsen, I
believe it should exist. If you do not want to use IDs across
files, you can avoid the overhead with tracking IDs by
customizing the variable =org-id-track-globally=. IDs can then
still be used for links inside a single file.
IDs will also be used when you create a new link to an Org-mode
buffer. If you use =org-store-link= (normally at =C-c l=) inside
en entry in an Org-mode buffer, and ID property will be created
if it does not exist, and the stored link will be an =id:= link.
If you prefer the much less secure linking to headline text, you
can configure the variable =org-link-to-org-use-id=. The default
setting for this variable is =create-if-interactive=, meaning
that an ID will be created when you store a link interactively,
but not if you happen to be in an Org-mode file while you create
a remember note (which usually has a link to the place where you
were when starting remember).
Org-mode still has a few operations that do not work well when the
first line of a buffer is a headline. One was constructing the clock
table, but this one is eliminated by this patch.
This patch compacts the persistence code. It also make sure that no
variables outside Org's name space are created. Finally, it makes
sure that the resumed clock is not hidden after a restart of Emacs.
Saving the clock history and the running clock could lead to pointers
to non-existing buffer, or to dired buffers of directories. This
patch implements more consistency checks.
It also allows a new value for `org-clock-persist'. When this is
`clock', only the running clock, but not the entire clock history
is saved.
Org-mode produces summaries of clocked items in the form of Org-mode
tables. This patch implements the possibility to define formulas that
should be applied to the clock tables, in order to do additional
analysis.
Formulas for clock tables are supported in two ways.
First, a formula can simply be added by hand to a table. Part of this
patch makes sure that, when the previous version of the table contains
a #+TBLFM: line, it will be copied to the new version.
Secondly, the clocktable definition allows a new parameter
`:formula'. The string value of this parameter will be installed as
the formula line for the table. If a formula parameter is given, it
will overrule any previous formula line.
As a special case, using the symbol `%' as the formula will install a
formula that will compute the fraction of total time that was spent in
a subtree.
In both cases, the formulas will be immediately evaluated after the
table has been created.
So far, Org used either `fit-window-to-buffer' or
`shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer' without any further checks when
displaying one of its many help and selection buffers. This can cause
problems if the user has set up Emacs to split windows horizontally
rather than vertically, because the window being shrunken then may be
side-by-side with another window, and shrinking the height of one will
also change the other.
With this patch, shrinking a window always goes through the new
function `org-fit-window-to-buffer' which only acts if the current
window spans the whole width of the frame.
Furthermore, this function also helps with compatibility, because it
falls back to `shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer' if
`fit-window-to-buffer' does not exist, as is the case on older version
of Emacs and XEmacs.
Clock-related data are saved when exiting emacs ands restored when emacs
is restarted. The data saved include the contents of `org-clock-history',
and the running clock, if there is one.
To use this, you will need to add
(require 'org-clock)
(org-clock-persistence-insinuate)
to your .emacs and either add
(setq org-clock-persist t)
(setq org-clock-in-resume t)
or set those options to t in custom.
This patch requires the clock resume patch.
Add missing blank line to changelog
Allow org-clock-in-switch-to-state to be a function. This lets you have
different clocked in states for different TODO keyword sets, for example
(defun ahkt-clock-state (state)
(cond ((string= state "TOREAD") "READING")
((string= state "TOWATCH") "WATCHING")
(t state)))
Also fix indentation on clock lines, and empty clock drawers when they are
inserted.
See <E1KE2Mh-0005EC-CF@cvs.savannah.gnu.org> in emacs-commit@:
* org.el (org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files):
* org-clock.el (org-clock-out-when-done): Doc fixes.
The bug affected the exportation of commented subtree: case cannot be
ignored when checking for the COMMENT cookie ("Comment" is a frequent
word in french, and has a completely different meaning.)
Replace all occurrences of the format string "%d:%02d" with
org-time-clocksum-format, which contains the same string by default.
This allows anyone to customize the appearance of clock summaries.
For example:
(setq org-time-clocksum-format "%02d:%02d")
Clock-related markers and agenda markers used to get lost
when editing a file using cut and paste. Now some cut
and past operations move the markers with them. In particular,
structure editing like moving subtrees up and down.
Also, when exiting a remember buffer with a running clock, the clock
can now be moved along with the entry to the target location.
Now it is possible to select also the current clocking task after
pressing C-u C-c C-x C-i. What will happen then is that this
entry will be clocked out, and then clocked in again.
Recently clocked tasks are now remembered as well as a default
task and an interrupted task.
There is no automatic clock-in yet.
Also, a number of bug fixes have sneaked into this patch,
sorry for the mess.
There is an old XEmacs bug with indentation in the presence of
an extent with an invisibility property. We work around this now
by turning the invisibility property off, temporarily.
This is a new display mode in the agenda view. It appends a clock
table to the daily/weekly agenda view that covers clocked time
for the time span shown in the agenda, and also limited to the
files that were used to create the current view.
