Fix wrong expansion of rules in bbdb-auto-notes

A few issues of how auto notes currently works:

- Expansion of bbdb-auto-notes-rules looks cheap operation to me so
  caching is unnecessary. Not worth the trouble of user having to
  remember changing bbdb-auto-notes-rules-expanded to nil whenever they
  change bbdb-auto-notes-rules.

- Another annoyance is that FIELD could only name those in NOTES.
  For example:

  (setq bbdb-auto-notes-rules
        '(("Organization" (".*" organization "\\&"))))

  does not update the organisation of the record.

bbdb and latex

Hello,

I tried out the bbdb-print function together with latex for getting a
nice list of the bbdb records.  As suggested in bbdb-print.el I used the
tex-files bbdb-print.tex, bbdb-print-brief.tex, and bbdb-cols.tex (from
bbdb.cvs.sourceforge.net).  But this does not work for me.  The
latex-compile fails.  And AFAICS there are lots of latex
compile-problems.

I suspect the tex-files mentioned above being too old for a recent tex
installation.

Can anyone help with this issue?

Any help is appreciated.

Ciao,

        Marco

You need to run plain TeX, not LaTeX. This works for me.

Roland

PS: Upgrade of all the code to LaTeX is probably useful, though I
have not yet looked into this.

You are right.  Thanks for the hint.  'tex bbdb.tex' does the job.  The
list looks good.

Just for the record: with the environment here (emacs24, TeX 3.1415926
(TeX Live 2010/Arch Linux)) tex could not handle the line

\catcode`ß=\active\chardefß="FF

Tex compiles when this line is deleted.

\bye

Thanks. Indeed, this line could be a relict from old times.

bbdb external interface

Since we live in a world where a majority of us rely on external
directory stores (LDAP, Google Contacts, etc.) would it be beneficial
to have a plugin architecture to access these external stores?

I guess this might depend on various issues like number of patterns
and number of messages to browse. -- I have no strong feelings here.
Maybe the code for processing the patterns can be optimized such
that the overhead for expanding the patterns does not play any role.

When I quickly looked through some folders, I did not have the
impression that Organization headers were used extensively.
In that sense, I am tempted to give this lower priority. But patches
are always welcome!

Anyway, the function bbdb-auto-notes does not care about note fields
vs. other fields. It would be bbdb-annotate-notes and/or
bbdb-merge-note that need to be modified.

[BBDB] ChangeLog 2011-05-08

The ChangeLog below describes a bunch of smaller changes, many of
which have previously appeared on this list. More noteworthy:

- bbdb-display-current-record is a new command that complements
  bbdb-display-all-records. These are bound to "C-x nd" and "C-x nw".
  They behave as expected according to their keybindings.

- bbdb-next-field and bbdb-prev-field are new commands bound to N
  TAB, P, and backsapce.

- The degree field has been renamed to affix.

That's strange. I do not quite understand this either.
(sit-for 0) really means a call of redisplay. Why is this needed here?

I thought maybe we need something like set-window-point.
But this doesn't work either.

If anyone reads this who knows more about this than me, please take
a look at bbdb-display-all-records in bbdb-com.el.
