Bernt Hansen recently reported that occasionally he got a newline
included with property values returned by `org-entry-get'. While the
reason for this is not understood (maybe some dark mingling with
character syntax), these new regexps are explicit about what they
interpret as a non-white character and therefore should make this
matching safer.
Jurgen Defume asked for a way to display only logging information in
the agenda. This patch implements such a possibility. It works by
calling `org-agenda-log-mode' (bound to `l' in the agenda) with a
double prefix arg. This sets the variable `org-agenda-show-log' to a
special value `only' which is then interpreted by the agenda-creating
functions.
When org-yank inserts a subtree, it moves the cursor to the headline
after the yank. A structural bug in the `org-yank' function did cause
this motion also to happen after a normal yank. Fixed now.
Matthew Lovell found that VM messages are only displayed reliably upon
following a link, when the function `vm-preview-current-message' is
called instead of `vm-beginning-of-message'. This patch implements
this change.
Links in the standard form [[link][description]] are allowed to have
brackets in them when these are escapes %5B and %5D. Creating links
through the Org link interface automatically does this conversion.
However, as noticed by Paul R, there is a bug when actually following
such links, when the link will be cut off at the first closing bracket
in the link.
This patch fixes this problem by adjusting the appropriate regexp.
This patch introduces two new functions in org-attach.el,
`org-attach-expand', and `org-attach-expand-link'. Both take a file
name as an argument, assume that this file is an attachment of the
current entry, and return the full path to this file or a
"file:..." link to it, respectively.
With these functions, it becomes very easy to use link abbreviations
to create a new link type to attachments:
After
(setq org-link-abbrev-alist '(("att" . org-attach-expand-link)))
links like [[att:file.txt]] will work.
Org records (depending on setup) various information about progress
achieved with projects and tasks. It can record when an item is done
(when it is "closed"), it can record time spent working on these
entries (clocking), and it can record state changes.
In the daily/weekly agenda, turning on logbook mode with the `l' key
will lists the tasks closed or clocked on a day.
This patch implements showing recorded state changes in the agenda
logbook. By default, showing state changes is not turned on. But you
can configure the new variable `org-agenda-log-mode-items' to trigger
inclusion of state changes. An alternative way is to press `C-u l' in
the agenda, to temporarily force inclusion of all possible entries
(closed, clock, state) into the agenda display.
In passing, this patch renames the function `org-agenda-get-closed' to
the now more appropriate `org-agenda-get-progress'. The old name
continues to be available as an alias, but its use is deprecated.
Org-mode uses a special setup with a number of different customization
variables to specify how a file should be opened when following a
:file:..." link with `C-c C-o'. By using a `C-u' prefix, it was
possible to overrule the customized setup and to force opening the
file in Emacs.
Samuel Wales requested to amend this process, so that a double prefix
argument would do the opposite: force opening the application *outside*
of Emacs, using a system default application. This is what this patch
implements.
Internally this works through a new entry in system specific constants
`org-file-apps-defaults-gnu', org-file-apps-defaults-macosx', and
`org-file-apps-defaults-windowsnt'. The new entry has the car
`system' and specifies the command that should be used for the double
C-u calls. As before, the user option `org-file-apps' can overrule
these default settings.
Note that all this only applies to following "file:" links, and does
not make a difference for, for example, "http:" links.
This is a bug fix. When the option `org-link-file-path-type' has the
value `adaptive', absolute file names would not be abbreviated if they
are relative to the users home directory. For any other values of
this variable except `noabbrev', absolute links are in fact
abbreviated, so the previous behavior is an inconsistency,
as noticed by Matt Lundin.
This patch fixes this problem and makes sure that also in this case,
file names are abbreviated.
Finally, the patch also fixes a structural bug that would ignore
the double C-u prefix if it was given.
When the cursor is at the end of the buffer but not at the beginning
of a line, inserting a new headline with C-RET did insert the stars
into the last line, without adding the needed newline. The new line
is now added.
Link descriptions where so far exported literally. However, really
they need to escape special characters and have TeX-like macros
interpreted and emphasis enabled just like any other text.
This patch makes sure link descriptions are passed through a new
filter, `org-export-html-format-desc' which does just that.
This fix is a follow-up to a report by Sebastian Rose.
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.
field (or in any other attribute value) must be written as "&" in
order to be valid XHMTL. This patch implements a new filter function
through which every href value is passed, and which enforces this
standard.
This is was triggered by a report by Sebastian Rose.
When marking a repeated entry DONE in the daily or weekly agenda, that
task would previously still be shown as TODO, because the repeater
immediately restores the TODO state after moving the time stamp. This
is bad feedback.
This problem was hard to fix. Because the same line may be present in
other lines in the same weekly agenda, we cannot simply update all
lines related to this entry.
What we do now is this: Before the repeater does its work in shifting
the time stamp and resetting the TODO keyword, we take a snapshot of
the headline as it looks then. And then, when we update the agenda
view, we change only the line at the cursor instead of all lines
related to this entry. We also make sure that this is only so if the
cursor is in a daily/weekly agenda, on TODAY's date.
There still remain possible inconsistencies. For example, if you have
a daily repeating task in the weekly agenda, and you move the cursor a
few days into the future and mark it DONE there, the entry will
actually be marked DONE for today, but still show up in today's task
list as TODO. refreshing the agenda will fix the display in such an
unlikely case.
Thanks to Jack ??? for noticing and reporting this issue.
The index generation of org-publish does briefly visit all files in
order to extract the correct page title. Visiting is necessary,
because the title may be set by the first line in the buffer, by a
Before this patch, this would cause the generation of a large number
of buffers, one for each file mentioned in the index. This patch
arranges for these buffers to be removed again. However, buffers
which were already present will not be removed.
There is still one open problem: The files to be published are
visited twice, one for publishing them, a second time for creating the
index. Visiting causes some overhead, and we would like to limit this
overhead. For now, however, this is not done.
Org-mode does sometimes included CSS definitions directly
into an exported XHTML file. To pass validation tests
for XHTML, these sections need to be wrapped in
order to pass as CDATA, not PCDATA. This patch
(written by Sebastian Rose) does implement this change.
It also fixes some typos.
This function only does its job if no side-by-side
window would be affected as well. Also, if
fit-window-to-buffer is not defined, use
shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer instead.
When yanking a cut/copied subtree or a series of trees, even
the nomal yank key `C-y' does now adjust the level of the tree
to make it fit into the current outline position, without
loosing its identity, and without swallowing other subtrees.
This uses the command `org-past-subtree'. An additional
change in that command has been implemented: Normally, this
command picks the right outline level from the surrounding
*visible* headlines, and uses the smaller on. So it the
cursor is between a level 4 and a level 3 headline, the tree
will be pasted as level 3. Now, if the cursor is actually
*at* the beginning of a headline, the level of that headline
will be used. So lets say you have a tree like this:
* Level one
** Level two
(1)
(2)* Level one again
with (1) and (2) indicating possible cursor positions for the
insertion. When at (1), the tree will be pasted as level 2.
When at (2), it will be pasted as level 1.
If you do not like `C-y' to behave like this, configure the
variable `org-yank-adjusted-subtrees'.
Thanks to Samuel Wales for this idea and a partial implementation.
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.
