Org-mode's `org-yank' command is used as a replacement for the normal
`yank' command. It differs by giving special treatment to subtrees or
sets of subtrees when yanking them, by adjusting the level to fit the
outline, and by folding the trees after the yank.
This patch does fine-tune this behavior.
First of all, if any prefix argument is given to the command, it
immediately hands over the action to the standard `yank' command. In
particular, you can use `C-u C-y' to yank as-is, with the only minor
side effect that the cursor will end up at the beginning of the yanked
text.
Secondly, the folding of the yanked trees will only happen if there is
no text directly after the insertion point that would be swallowed by
the folding process. This was confusing in the past and is much
better now, with a message announcing that folding has been
suppressed.

This changes the default value for Effort during agenda filtering so
that an undefined Effort value is treated as 0 instead of nil. Tasks
with no effort defined now return zero effort when selecting tasks for
the filter.
There was effectively no way to select 'tasks with no effort defined'
using the agenda effort filter. The '<' operator is interpreted as
'<=' and the default effort selection defined in
org-agenda-filter-by-tag starts with zero ("0 0:10 ...") so this
change just treats tasks with no effort defined the same as tasks with
an effort of 0.
This allows fast selection of NEXT tasks with no effort defined.
Column view with follow-mode active in the agenda is great for quickly
filling in the agenda estimated effort values for tasks. Just display
your Next tasks, then / 0 to select tasks with no effort and enter
column mode (C-c C-x C-c) and fill in your effort values with the
quick keys (0-9) for all of the tasks that have blanks in the effort
column.
The refile command allows to move a subtree to under some other
heading, in the current file or even in a different file.
Sometimes one has a number of sibling subtrees that should all be
refiled to the same location. This patch implements a simplification
for this process. You can mark the region of subtrees (using
transient-mark-mode in required for this) and then move them all with
a single command.
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.
I didn't fix everything since there are differences in word spellings
in different countries. This patch corrects obvious errors in names
and spelling.
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.
These are changes that where made in the Emacs CVS.
The change in org-publish is not final, it is still being
discussed - however, the current change should make it possible
to compile and run the code with the latest CVS version of Emacs.
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.
Rick Moynihan noticed that a function name in an example does not
reflect correctly the purpose of this function, which does skip all
entries that do not have a WAITING tag.
This patch renames the function to remedy this situation.
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.
