* regenerating agendas automatically if any .org files change @ 2011-11-10 23:54 Stephen J. Barr 2011-11-11 0:09 ` suvayu ali 0 siblings, 1 reply; 7+ messages in thread From: Stephen J. Barr @ 2011-11-10 23:54 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode Hello, First of all, thank you for a wonderful mode and a wonderful mailing list. This is my first posting. I have the following idea for a workflow, and I am not sure if there is already functionality to do this: I keep all my .org files in a Dropbox. On my desk I have my main workstation A and a slow workstation B. Both A and B are synced to Dropbox. Throughout the day, as I work with org-mode using workstation A, I would like B to simply regenerate 3 different agenda views whenever the .org files on Dropbox change. This would really add to the functionality of workstation B. Is there any built-in functionality to do this? Thanks, -stephen ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Thanks for the pointer. So, just to clarify, is it possible to have multiple simultaneous agenda views? I think it would be really cool to have my calendar and to-do-list and maybe another custom agenda view all dynamically refreshed every few minutes, just sitting on my second monitor. Then, as I add appointments, tasks, etc., they all start showing up. How can I make this happen? My lisp skills still introductory. I can modify lisp code, but I haven't really written my own from scratch yet. -stephen On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 7:09 PM, suvayu ali <fatkasuvayu+linux@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Stephen, > > Welcome to the list.

But you can multiple blocks in the agenda. Search for "Office block agenda" in: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-custom-agenda-commands.html Cheers, Viktor Stephen J.

But given his intended use could he not also just start up several independent Emacs instances on his B machine, each to show a different agenda view? -- Herb ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
