Re: Emacs opens a frame for each file in agenda list on org-mobile

Re: Emacs opens a frame for each file in agenda list on org-mobile

[Christopher Long]

Dear Steve and All,

    Was this additional instance of emacs problem resolved?
I am having the same problem also on windows XP.
I wonder whether emacsclient or emacsclientw need to be called instead
of a new instance of emacs.

I am using:

org-mode ver 6.33f
emacs 22.2.1
windows XP

Thanks,

Stoph

I'll do both of the above when I return to work.

Sadly, I've not managed to resolve this at all.

I did try using (server-start) but the frames still open and they 
bitterly complain that a server instance is already running.

I'm going to strip out everything from my .emacs until I just have the 
org-mode settings left to see if that changes anything, but I'm not hopeful.

I haven't seen many complaints about this issue, so I assume that it is 
uncommon and possibly difficult to replicate.

Unfortunately I don't know how to step through elisp to debug this 
myself ;-) I may have a steep learning curve ahead of me.

If someone could give me a hint as to how to do this I'd be grateful.

Best,

Steve

Re: Emacs opens a frame for each file in agenda list on org-mobile

[Steve Brown]

Okay, a quick follow up on this.

I have kept the number of cutomisations to a minimum in my .emacs with 
no effect at all. That is I still get one frame per file in the agenda 
file list.

I can't seem to find any settings that would force Emacs to use a single 
frame.

I wonder if I should install a different version of Emacs for Windows? 
Perhaps the problem lies there?

To limit the PITA aspect of this - I save all my buffers, run 
org-mobile-push then close the group from the Windows taskbar . I can 
then re-open a single instance of Emacs.

Is there a command to close all frames but the current one? I could add 
this to the post push hooks.

Thanks for all your help,

Steve

Okay, I'm getting somewhere.

I found out how how to step through elisp (hooray!) and called 
(debug-on-entry) on (org-mobile-copy-agenda-files)

The new frame was opened when the *Backtrace* buffer showed:


   call-process("E:/Emacs/bin/cmdproxy.exe" nil t nil "-c" " 
\"e:/home/Orgfiles/work.org\"")

[please read as all one line]

Now, I'm afraid I'm at a loss.

This seems to be a result of the environment I'm running in, and I can't 
install Cygwin - which is why I run Emacs off a USB stick.

So, could someone show me how to close the frames once the push has been 
completed using the post-push hook?

Thank you,

Steve

org-babel for matlab?

[Christopher Long]

Dear All,

    Has anyone started on a babel mode for matlab?  Or is anyone else 
interested
in making it happen?  Or have a suggestion for a good template to start 
from (babel-python? babel-R?)  And anyone has an estimate of how time 
consuming such a project would be?

    I'd like it to work on Windows and there isn't a console mode of Matlab
on windows, but you can evaluate code with EmacsLink and likely direct
all output to temporary files.
(I know EmacsLink was dropped in R2009a, but some of us are avoiding 
upgrading
and hoping that Matlab will return EmacsLink in the future.)


Thanks,

Stoph

Re: Emacs opens a frame for each file in agenda list on org-mobile

[Christopher Long]

Dear Steve and All,

  I've been able to suppress the problem by commenting out one line 
(line 232) in org-mobile.el
(in the version of org I just recently got from git, 6.33f+).  That line is:

;;      (push (cons file link-name) rtn))

  Unfortunately, this also suppresses the update of the .org file of 
interest in the staging directory.
Can anyone fluent in list propose how to update the org file without 
having the file "pop" open
on Windows XP?

  Also, it is not simply an "emacsclient" issue as I was first guessing.
If I use a .txt file as my org file of interest this gets opened by 
notepad rather than emacs
(since I have not "told" Windows to open .txt files with emacs, but I 
have allowed org to use txt files.)
(Also note, .txt files are not supported in the present version of 
mobileorg, but Richard has written
a version which should be able to access them in the future.)

  Here are more details:

file: org-6.33f\lisp\org-mobile.el

I traced the problem by following:
1. defun org-mobile-push which calls org-mobile-files-alist
2. defun org-mobile-files-alist contains
      (push (cons file link-name) rtn))

Thanks!

Hi Christopher,

I do not know of anyone working on matlab support for org-babel.  I am
attaching a template file which contains instructions for adding support
for a new language.  Depending on your level of familiarity with elisp
it could take anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days.
We're still debugging some of the original language specific files :)

Best of Luck! -- Eric
