Hi all

I have a weird issue i really dont know how to debug. i have managed to get
org-capture working very well to my needs. only issue is when I launch
org-capture (C-c c) and choose a capture template it takes around 10-20
seconds to load the capture-template. it happens with any capture
templeates i try.  any idea whats causing this?
here is my current capture config

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results non
  (setq org-capture-templates
        (quote (
                ("x" "todo_nix" entry (file+headline
"~/org/files/agenda/TODO.org" "Linux")
                 "*  %^{Description}" )
                ("o" "dl_movie" entry (file+headline "~/org/files/agenda/
dl.org" "Movies")
                 "*  %^{Description}  " )
                ("O" "dl_movie_prerelease" entry (file+headline
"~/org/files/agenda/dl.org" "Movies")
                 "*  %x :Pre_Release: " )
                ("v" "dl_TV" entry (file+headline "~/org/files/agenda/dl.org"
"TV")
                 "*  %^{Description}" )
                ("m" "dl_music" entry (file+headline "~/org/files/agenda/
dl.org" "Music")
                 "*  %^{Description}" )
                ("h" "todo_home" entry (file+headline
"~/org/files/agenda/TODO.org" "Home")
                 "*   %?\n%T" )
                ("b" "todo_shopping" entry (file+headline
"~/org/files/agenda/food.org" "shopping")
                 "* SHOP  %^{Description} " )
                ;;;agenda captures
                ("w" "Work_short_term" entry (file+headline
"~/org/files/agenda/Research.org" "Short term Misc")
                 "* TODO  %^{Description} " )

  )))

Hi Xebar,

can you try with only one template?  Then report your Org
version and your Emacs version?  Also, let us know if you
have the problem with a bare emacs (emacs -q).

Hi Bastien

thanks for the help
i am running org 8.2.5h with emacs 24.3.1
i tried it with 1 template and its still the same slowness
also i tried it with emacs -q (pasting the capture template, evaluating it
and running org-capture) and its still very slow
i would be happy to try and test and other things needed

best

Z.

So let's start with your attempt at making it work with emacs -q.

Note: if you use emacs -q Org version cannot be 8.2.5h, it will be
something else, please tell us what.

Please give us *one* capture template that takes too long with
emacs -q and maybe someone can reproduce.  Don't do fancy stuff
like narrowing or whatever before calling capture.

Sorry about that

the org version in emacs -q is version 7.9.3f.

i have tried with this capture

 (setq org-capture-templates
        (quote (
                ("x" "todo_nix" entry (file+headline
"~/org/files/agenda/TODO.org" "Linux")
                 "*  %^{Description}" )
  )))


i do see that when i choose the capture template it does say something
about loading vc-git, i dont know if that has to do with anything

thx alot, would be happy to give any additional info needed

best

It surely has to do with something, but I can't really figure out why
(except that if your Git repo is really big, Emacs may take some time
to check it out first when finding the capture file.  If the capture
time happens only on the first capture, that may be a hypothesis,
though I'd be surprised.)
