By setting the RESET_CHECK_BOXES property in an ;; item, when the TODO state is set to done all checkboxes under that item are ;; cleared. If the LIST_EXPORT_BASENAME property is set, a file will be created ;; using the value of that property plus a timestamp, containing all the items ;; in the list which are not checked. Additionally the user will be prompted to ;; print the list. ;; ;; I use this for to keep track of stores of various things (food stores, ;; components etc) which I check periodically and use the exported list of items ;; which are not present as a shopping list. ;; ;;; Usage: ;; (require 'org-checklist) ;; ;; Set the RESET_CHECK_BOXES and LIST_EXPORT_BASENAME properties in items as ;; needed. ;; ;;; Code: (require 'org) (load "a2ps-print" 'no-error) (setq org-default-properties (cons "RESET_CHECK_BOXES" (cons "LIST_EXPORT_BASENAME" org-default-properties))) (defgroup org-checklist nil "Extended checklist handling for org" :tag "Org-checklist" :group 'org) (defcustom org-checklist-export-time-format "%Y%m%d%H%M" "The format of timestamp appended to LIST_EXPORT_BASENAME to make the name of the export file." :link '(function-link format-time-string) :group 'org-checklist :type 'string) (defcustom org-checklist-export-function 'org-export-as-ascii "function used to prepare the export file for printing" :group 'org-checklist :type '(radio (function-item :tag "ascii text" org-export-as-ascii) (function-item :tag "HTML" org-export-as-html) (function-item :tag "LaTeX" :value org-export-as-latex) (function-item :tag "XOXO" :value org-export-as-xoxo))) (defcustom org-checklist-export-params nil "options for the export function file for printing" :group 'org-checklist :type '(repeat string)) (defcustom org-checklist-a2ps-params nil "options for a2ps for printing" :group 'org-checklist :type '(repeat string)) (defun org-reset-checkbox-state-maybe () "Reset all checkboxes in an entry if the `RESET_CHECK_BOXES' property is set" (interactive "*") (if (org-entry-get (point) "RESET_CHECK_BOXES") (org-reset-checkbox-state-subtree))) (defun org-make-checklist-export () "Produce a checklist containing all unchecked items from a list of checkbox items" (interactive "*") (if (org-entry-get (point) "LIST_EXPORT_BASENAME") (let* ((export-file (concat (org-entry-get (point) "LIST_EXPORT_BASENAME" nil) "-" (format-time-string org-checklist-export-time-format) ".org")) (print (case (org-entry-get (point) "PRINT_EXPORT" nil) (("" "nil" nil) nil) (t t) (nil (y-or-n-p "Print list?
