A user setting of
(setq org-show-entry-below t)
could overrule a visibility property with value FOLDED. This commit
fixes this by turning off the above setting for the context of setting
startup visibility.
I have changed my mind and turned off shift-selection support again by
default, because it causes confusing behavior, sometimes calling an Org
command and sometimes doing shift selection. The default behavior is
now:
- in special contexts, execute Org commands
- outside special contexts, create an error that will point users to
configure the variable `org-support-shift-select'. Hopefully that
will make them read the docstring and then decide for themselves
what to do.
Emacs 23 introduces `shift-selection-mode', and even turns it on by
default. Therefore, it is fair to assume that users of Emacs 23 will
expect to be able to select a region by holding down shift will moving
the cursor. This conflicts with the use of shifted cursor keys in
Org-mode for other purposes, in particular to "change the item under
the cursor", like it is done for time stamps, item bullet types, TODO
keywords and priorities.
This commit tries to support `shift-selection-mode' as much as possible,
while retaining these valuable commands keys for Org-mode. The
following things are changed:
1. The range of contexts where Org's commands do act is reduced.
- S-up and S-down no longer jump to the previous and next plain list
item - you can use the paragraph commands C-up and C-down for this
quite well.
- S-left and S-right only change the bullet type of a plain list
item when the cursor is *exactly* on the bullet, not just anywhere
in the item line.
2. When a S-cursor key is used outside a special context, a region is
started or extended.
3. When a region has already been started, it will be continue to
extend even if the S-cursor keys move the cursor into a special
context.
4. If you want S-cursor selection to work in headlines as well, you
can set the variable `org-support-shift-select' to
`even-in-headlines'. Then you need to rely on `C-c C-t' to set
TODO keywords, and on `C-c ,' to set priorities.
If you want everything to behave the way it was, set
`org-support-shift-select' to nil.
The variables =org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date=,
=org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date=, and
=org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date= make it possible to
exclude TODO entries which have this kind of planning info
associated with them. This is most useful for people who
schedule everything, and who use the TODO list mainly to find
things that are not yet scheduled. Thomas Morgan pointed out
that also the tags-todo search may serve exactly this
purpose, and that it might be good to have a way to make
these variables also apply to the tags-todo search. I can
see than, but could not convince myself to make this the
default. A new variable must be set to make this happen:
=org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options=.
The conversion commands `C-c -' and `C-c *' are now better
behaved and therefore more useful, I hope.
If there is an active region, these commands will act on the
region, otherwise on the current line.
- C-c - :: This command turns headings or normal lines into
items, or items into normal lines. When there is a
region, everything depends on the first line of the
region:
- if it is a item, turn all items in the region into
normal lines.
- if it is a headline, turn all headlines in the region
into items.
- if it is a normal line, turn all lines into items.
- special case: if there is no active region and the
current line is an item, cycle the bullet type of the
current list.
- C-c * :: This command turns items and normal lines into
headings, or headings into normal lines. When there is
a region, everything depends on the first line of the
region:
- if it is a item, turn all items in the region into
headlines.
- if it is a headline, turn all headlines in the region
into normal lines.
- if it is a normal line, turn all lines into headlines.
Two new variables, `org-export-html-inline-image-extensions' and
`org-export-latex-inline-image-extensions' now define the file
extensions that will be considered for inlining images. The default
for HTML is png, jpg, jpeg, and gif files. The default for LaTeX is
png, jpg, jpeg, and pdf, assuming processing with `pdflatex'.
For LaTeX export, this can lead to conflicts for links that point
to non-image PDF files. To avoid that such a link will be inlined by
accident, always give a description text for such a link, one that is
not equal to the path.

Hi. After you eval this (for instance to count the number of
headlines under a tree):
(org-map-entries 'ignore t 'tree)
you end up with a different view of the buffer
because (org-narrow-to-subtree) was called. This seems an
unwanted side effect since narrowing is not org-map-entries' job.
Should (save-excursion) be used inside (org-map-entries
... 'tree) ?
He is right, and save-restriction is needed as well. This is
what this commit implements.

I find that doing a tags search for SCHEDULED or DEADLINE turns
up headings that do not have any schedule or deadlines.
Using the example from
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/10274:
#+SEQ_TODO: NEXT WAITING | DONE
#+STARTUP: overview
* DONE Test1
CLOSED: [2009-01-07 Wed 12:26]
* NEXT Test2
DEADLINE: <2009-01-28 Wed>
* Test3
If I type
C-c \ +DEADLINE<="<2009-01-28>" <RET>
all three headlines are selected! I expected to match the second
headline only.
Indeed, this exposes an error in the time comparison functions
which would take a empty time stamp to mean 0. This commit does
fix the bug.

I had one more question/request concerning archives. Would
it perhaps be possible to enable the file name
substitution (i.e., "%s") after the double semi-colon, so
that the file name can be used as a headline within the
archive file? My ideal setup would be to have a single
archive file for each year's work, with headlines named
according to the original files of the archived subtrees.
E.g.,
,----
| * finances.org
| ** archived item
| * notes.org
| ** archived item
| ** another archived item
`----
This commit does implement this request.
The relative timer is now shown in the mode-line while running.
There is a new command to pause and continue it.
Thanks to Alan Davis for driving this change.
The variable `org-blank-before-new-entry' regulates if Org should
insert a blank line before a new entry, when making a new headline or
plain list item. Up to now, the possible values in each case where t
or nil, i.e. unconditionally do or don't insert a blank line.
Now each setting can also be `auto'. If this is the case, Org will
look if the current entry, of which the command creates a sibling,
does have a blank line before it. If yes, it will also make a blank
line. If not, it will not. This seems so useful that I have made
this behavior the default.

I've been bad and let a couple of my overhead tasks slip past
their deadline dates.
*** TODO Q1 Accounting: October
DEADLINE: <2008-11-30 Mon +1y>
- CLOSING NOTE [2008-01-30 Wed 12:18]
This task does not show up on my agenda anymore (probably because
the year changed). If I change the deadline entry to this:
DEADLINE: <2008-11-30 Mon>
then it shows up as 37 days late. I'm bringing this up as soon as
I noticed it just so people are aware of this. I have a few of
these tasks that just dropped off my agenda (probably at the
beginning of the year).
This interesting bug seems only to happen when the repeat is yearly,
and after crossing the December 31st year boundary. It was a sorting
issue - Org-mode (in the function `org-closest-date') computes two
dates that are consistent with the repeater, one before and one after
the target date. When the computation is done with a preference for
the past date (as it happens for deadlines), it should use the earlier
date. In fact, it did choose "n1", assuming that it was the earlier
one. This assumption does hold for daily, weekly and monthly
repeaters, but not for yearly ones.
This commits make sure that "n1" always holds the earlier date, so
that the logic at the end of the function works again.
Column view could fail when the agenda contains entries from the Diary
which start with a *. This commit fixes this problems by making
`org-entry-properties' check for an org-mode buffer.
When using "C-u C-u M-x org-remember RET" in order to jump to the last
storage location, the code failed to show the matching entry. This
commit makes sure that at least the headline of the last remember note
is made visible.
This commit add a new face for footnote labels, and activates footnote
labels for mouse clicks and for `C-c C-o', to jump to the
corresponding reference or definition.
This patch implements fully automatic creation of unique labels for
footnotes, which is also turned on as the default setting. The
automatic labels look like [fn:1], [fn:2], etc, using the first
available unused number.
The commit introduces a new variable, `org-footnote-auto-label' with a
number of different options ranging from no auto creation (prompting
the user for a label) to fully automatic creation.
Also, the commit introduces new #+STARTUP options that can be used to
select these settings on a per-file basis.
A new perl program, list-hooks.pl, now extracts the full list of hook
and function variables in Org, for inclusion into Worg's org-hooks.org.
Also, add a docstring to a few hooks that did not have one.
