Slow Remote Buffer Updates

[ Ubuntu-10.04.4;  Emacs-23.1.1 ]

I am running Ubuntu in my office and at home.

My usual "home mode" is to SSH (w/ X11 forwarding) into my office
machine (over a high speed cable connection) and start Emacs.  Once the
Emacs "frame" appears on my home display, I check for "todo items"
within Planner.

Say I find a "task" that has been completed.  I move "point" to the
corresponding line and enter "C-c C-x".  The task is eventually marked
as "done", but it sometimes takes up to 10 seconds to update the buffer!

My hunch is that it has something to do with "fonts" ...

Can anyone suggest change(s) to make my "at home" Planner performance
close to what I see when I'm using Emacs in my office?

Thanks for your help!

Fix for diary error in Emacs 24

People using Planner's diary integration and Emacs 24 may run into an
error, because some of the diary function and variable renaming that
started around Emacs 23 is now being enforced.

Pushed the fix to http://repo.or.cz/w/planner-el.git.

Thanks,

problem with cyclic task definition

The following cyclic entry in my .diary.cyclic-tasks does not compile.
 The variable `date' is supposed to be available to sexps (according
to diary's info).  Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

%%(let ((weekday (calendary-day-of-week date)))
    (and (> weekday 0)
	 (< weekday 6))) #A0 _ Backup computer ([[PCBackup]])

Thanks,

Mirko

Documentation back online

The Planner documentation is back online at
http://www.wjsullivan.net/static/doc/planner/. It was AWOL for a while,
sorry about that!

Also look for a bugfix release soon, in the next couple of months. If
you have patches, put them in the tracker and let me know :).

Font color of notes

Hello.

I'm a newbie of Planner mode, and very satisfied with tasks.
But when I tried to take a note, I can't read titles of notes, because of their color.

I'm using color-theme "gnome2".
It has dark green background, and the font color of notes is violet.
So it cannot be read easily.

I tried to fix it by myself. I opened "color-theme.el" and studied it.
But I can't figure out what the code is the exact one.
Can anybody tell me how can I change the color of notes?

Patch for planner-mhe in order to be able to use refiled messages in MH-E

Hi everybody,

Please find a patch for planner-mhe in order to be able to use directly
refiled messages in MH-E as links for a task.

The initial discussion on mh-e-users mailing list is here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=18865.1268858262%40henrikfrisk.com&forum_name=mh-e-users

The ChangeLog is the following:

Fix planner-mhe to be able to use refiled messages

* planner-mhe.el (planner-mhe-get-message-real-folder): first verify
  if the message is refiled and in this case use the folder in which the
  message is refiled as "real" folder.

Best,

Christophe

Can't publish to html

Hello,

I have installed muse ver 3.20 and Planner ver 3.42.

In some reason I can't publish my tasks via C-c C-v.

Error: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

I have default configuration from the installation guide.
I can't publish any .muse file in Plans folder.

Any ideas why?

Thanks

speed issues

Hi,

I'm using planner-mode to manage my projects in a research lab. I  
couldn't live without it, but I can't ignore speed problems which keep  
getting more and more pressing as my projects advance. I press C-c C-p  
each morning to update my HTML task list (see  
http://www.mhoenicka.de/software/hacks/tasklist.html) and to publish  
the changed planner pages to HTML. This process takes approx. 10  
minutes these days. I can live with that, although my box (a Pentium 4  
2.4GHz 768MB RAM) is essentially locked due to the modest hardware,  
but it's just not convenient.

Usually only half a dozen pages need to be published every day. The  
sizes are approx. one or two printed page using the HTML output, so  
this shouldn't be a problem. I reckon the problem is in generating the  
index. Currently there are approx. 1100 muse pages. As far as I  
understand, generating the index requires planner to peek into each  
file to collect the data for the calendar-based index, whereas the  
page-based index should just require a directory listing. OTOH my  
taskmm add-on (see http://www.mhoenicka.de/software/hacks/taskmm.html)  
also traverses all non-day muse files to collect the backlinks. This  
Perl script takes approx. 3 seconds to finish. So what does Emacs do  
in the remaining 10 minutes?

My platform is a Windows XP box running NTEmacs 23.1.1. I use Cygwin  
bash as a shell although I'm not sure if publishing planner projects  
involves any shell commands.

What are my options besides doing the obvious (ditch the box and get  
recent hardware)?

regards,
Markus

planner-appt and emacs 23.1

I have encountered a problem with planner-appt after upgrading to
emacs 23.1, which results in complaints such as 

  Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size 

when trying to create tasks.  I reported this as bug
<http://gna.org/bugs/?14042> a couple of days ago and more details can
be found there.  However, I wondered whether anyone on this list has
seen this problem before, can confirm it and/or has a solution.

Many thanks for any help

Andrew

"There is no page 2009.06.02 in ..."


Hello all,

I'm trying to enter planner for the first time in emacs 23.0.91.1. I've
installed muse-latest (as of today) and planner-3.42.

When I enter M-x plan RET, I get:

"There is no page 2009.06.02 in projectWikiPlanner".

Here are the relevant lines from my .emacs:

(setq load-path (add-to-list 'load-path "/home/dan/src/muse-latest/"))
(require 'muse-mode)
(require 'muse-publish)
(require 'muse-html)

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/dan/src/planner-3.42/")
(require 'planner)
(setq planner-project "WikiPlanner")
(setq muse-project-alist
      '(("WikiPlanner"
	 ("~/plans"   ;; Or wherever you want your planner files to be
	  :default "index"
	  :major-mode planner-mode
	  :visit-link planner-visit-link))))

Probably just something I've done wrong, but the planner-wiki says it is
suppose to create a new page if it doesn't exist?

Thanks!
