Capture and clock options

Capture and clock options

[julien cubizolles]

I'm in the process of converting my old remember templates but I can't
figure how to use the clock parameters.

I'm using the following template :

("T" "test" entry (file+headline "~/org/orgfiles/test.org" "Test")
  "* %?" :clock-in t :clock-resume t)
 
There is no clock information in the modeline of the capture buffer,
no :CLOCK: property appears when the note is captured, and the former
clock is not resumed. However the task appears in the list provided by
What am I doing wrong ?

Also I noticed in Bernt Hansen examples (which I shamelessly copied, as
I had with the former remember templates) that he adds
":CLOCK:
:END:
"
to his todo template but not to his notes templates, while both are
"clocked-in" and "clock-resumed". What is the difference between the two
setups ?

Julien.

This is a bug in the current master branch of org-mode.  I'll identify
the commit that breaks it shortly and post that information as a
followup to this message.

The only reason I have :CLOCK: ... :END: in my 'N' notes entry is to
keep the clock table from aligning way over on the right with the :NOTE:
tag.  The other templates don't have tags assigned so clocking in puts
the clock drawer at a reasonable spot when creating the task.
I haven't actually tested if this is required by org-capture mode
but it was for remember mode.  My current capture templates were
converted from my remember templates.

Julien:

You can check out commit a7a842^ ($ git checkout a7a842^) and M-x
org-reload and it should work properly.  A fix will need to be created
for the master branch before this works on the tip of master again.

    * org-agenda.el (org-agenda-clock-goto): Use `\C-c\C-x\C-j' for
    `org-clock-goto' and `J' for `org-agenda-clock-goto'.  If the heading
    currently clocked in is not listed in the agenda, display this entry
    in another buffer.  If there is no running clock, display a help
    message.

I can't see anything in this commit interfering with the capture
process.  Do you have an idea why it is related to the bug Julien 
is reporting?

I've been digging into this issue a bit, and something looks weird in
the `org-capture' defun: the :clock-in property is taken into account
only when :immediate-finish is not set...  (see the end of the defun.)
Could Julien's issue be related to this?

I got it.  `org-clock-set-current' was trying to get the filename, 
which doesn't work in indirect buffers.

I pushed a fix in the current git.

Julien, please let me know if this fix your issue.
