My iPhone language is Chinese, I need change .emacs settings to make sync works.

Not Works:
(setq org-mobile-directory "~/Dropbox/Apps/MobileOrg")

Works:
(setq org-mobile-directory "~/Dropbox/應用程式/MobileOrg")

Maybe MobileOrg should provide a page show the correct path for user.

Time tracking, like org-modefeature, as mentioned in #9

Currently when launching MobileOrg it defaults to Outline Mode. It would be nice to have an option to open by default in Capture Mode.

The time stamp should have a toggle pref to turn it off OR appear in the text field so we can delete it OR be placed in the PROPERTIES: section and labeled CREATION_DT or something like that.

When org filename has spaces, eg "Process Tree.org", then the outline view shows the document does not show any content for the document.

It would be cool to implement a daily/weekly agenda view. More of a note-to-self, but Ireland time is ahead of the States so I thought I'd put the idea out there.

I'll flesh this out in a few hours.

Please make use of the bigger screen the iPhone 5 supports.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/IconsImages/IconsImages.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006556-CH14-SW5
says that (among others)
"For apps that run on iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation), create a launch image that measures 640 x 1136 pixels."

It should also be noted that an empty note still counts as a note. It still has a timestamp on it, so it could have a use to quite a few people, so I'm not sure whether to fix this or not.

Is this desired functionality, or an annoyance?

When I "Capture" a note in mobileorg and then sync it, the entry time is weirdly modified. Usually to 1999.
Attached are two example screenshots, directly before and after a webdav-sync (I think I left the sync screen and went back to it). As you can see, the date of the upper entry was changed from 2013-04-23 to 1999-12-28, but the time stayed the same.

Automatically create capture on IOS 7 when wake the app up.

In Outline view, when an org file has a level 1 heading and then a level 4 heading directly under it, it will show these, but will then lose the rest of the document. eg.

* Heading 1
**** Heading 1.1.1.1
** Heading 1.2

• Heading 2

In the example above, the top level view in Outline will show:
Heading 1
Heading 1.2
whereas it should show
Heading 1
Heading 2

Please enable Mobileorg to display image links in the Document View. For example you would insert this line into node.m

// image link
{
    NSString *regexString = @"\\[\\[file:([a-zA-Z0-9/\\-\\._]+\\.(?:jpg|png))\\]\\[([a-zA-Z0-9/\\-_\\. '!?]+)\\]\\]";
    line = [line stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfRegex:regexString withString:@"<a href='file:$1'>$2</a>"];

and whatever required changes to allow the link to be tapped by the user and display the image, without having to leave the app.

The state options in mobile org don't appear to sync with my #+ TODO: settings.

Currently checkboxes in lists are simply represented as text. It'd be nice if these were ... checkable.

Also I have error messages in flagged.org:

* F(edit:todo)UNKNOWN PROBLEM [[(null)][(null)]]
** Old value
TODO
** New value
DONE
** End of edit
* F(edit:todo)UNKNOWN PROBLEM [[(null)][(null)]]
** Old value
TODO
** New value
DONE
** End of edit

But the todo items are not updated in the org file on my macbook.

Here's my .emacs file (the relevant part):

(setq org-agenda-files (quote ("~/Dropbox/Private/Everything.org" "~/Dropbox/Private/Shopping.org")))
(setq org-directory "~/Dropbox/Private")
(setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull "~/Dropbox/Private/flagged.org")
(setq org-mobile-directory "~/Dropbox/Apps/MobileOrg")

iOS 8.1.1 , iphone 6

Every time I open the MobileOrg app, it opens the New note screen.

An insignificant portion of warnings generated from building the project as it is are of the form

Cocoa API Issue
Using 'stringWithString:' with a literal is redundant.

Is there a reason that this construct pops up throughout the source? Is it in place to more easily support future localization/customization via actual NSStrings, or is this some Objective C idiom I haven't come across before, or what?

I'd be happy to go through an make all the necessary changes if we reach a consensus on what to do.

I know the phonegap(phonegap.com) is for this purpose. But maybe all code will be rewrote.

When capturing new content, the window always displays the first n lines, even if more lines have been entered than fit on the screen. This means for longer entries you woulnd't see what you type because it's hidden by the onscreen keyboard.

You can of course say "don't do that" but I'd prefer an editor window where the cursor is always visible :)

One of the features I am hoping to work on once the initial app is released is the ability to sync via SSH in addition to Dropbox and WebDav.

This bug is observed in version 0.98 from F-Droid.

When I turn word wrap on, lines I had deliberately left empty as paragraph separators are no longer visible in any of my notes. They reappear when I am in the process of editing the note, but disappear when I save.

The sync button can only be found by going to Outline View and even then only when viewing the top level of the outline, a.k.a index.org. It is small, top right corner, and not ubiquitous.

It would be nice to have the sync button feature on the bottom row, large, and always present.

1. Create a new note, put whatever you want in it, and return to the notes view.
2. Delete the note.
3. The app badge does not decrement to reflect the deletion.

I've looked through the code for the noteCount updating (Classes/Capture/NoteListController/-(void)refreshData), but I can't make sense of the code inside CountLocalNotes() (in DataUtils)

IGNORE:
My agenda view on my phone presents my scheduled APPOINTMENTS with correct dates, but the timepoint is missing.

Are the Dropbox/MobileOrg/agendas.org timepoints corrupted?:

• Week-agenda (W43-W44):KEYS=a TITLE: Agenda
  ** Wednesday 23 october 2013
  *** MEETING Boss Meeting: 11:00-12:00

Opening an issue to allow for discussion. Org-mode uses GPLv3, http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/tree/COPYING

Could we also? For a description of why: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/rms-why-gplv3.html

Despite the basic incompatibilities of the App Store and the GPL, the legal issues are Apple's and under the current license the same risk of getting pulled from the store at Apple's discretion exists.

After setting up Mobileorg to sync with Dropbox (and giving it access), clicking the Sync button on the Outlines view comes up with an error:

Error synching changes
An error was encountered while attempting to fetch mobileorg.org from the server. The error was:
Unexpected error

Of course, mobileorg.org isn't responding to normal HTTP requests.

Thanks for bringing this back from the dead.

It would be nice to have the option to schedule tasks with support from the application, i.e. some date or date/time entry widget.

Dropbox limits the amount of users who can use the key while in dev mode. Whoever owns the dropbox key should be able to add new users.

This issue is also tracking all discussion for work on dropbox api v1 changes

While working on another patch to fix deprecation warnings in Xcode, I noticed that the keyboard hide/show code is inconsistent and not optimal.

There are two copies, in Classes/Capture/NewNoteController.m and Classes/Outline/NodeTextEditController.m, only one of which has iPad support.
The code also has hardcoded screen sizes. I hope that this can be done in a better way, but I'm new to the whole thing.
I've tried to make the show-code match the hide code, but this is probably not correct; also, I'm not sure what the magic 55 constant is about.

This bug report is to note the difference between the two (quite similar in idea) code pieces, and to show a diff I came up with which doesn't work yet, but could be base for further work.

Enabling encryption works for files created in orgmode. But capturing notes on iOS, then sync it to orgmode will not decrypt the note.
Is it possible to change that ?

Cloud services like Drop Box are not ideal because you are entrusting your data to a third party. BitTorrent Sync synchronizes data between multiple devices using an encrypted p2p protocol, cutting out the middle man. Sync clients are available for iOS, Android, and desktop computer clients (apple, Microsoft, Linux)

I'm working on this now, my testing has been enough to at least get the app back and available in the store.

Hi,
Would it be possible to support that?
I would like to upload my org files to drop-box via other ways, e.g., via a script via the dropbox api, not emacs-orgmode built-in pull method.
But I cannot make MobileOrg to download them to iPhone. I get the same error presented in the screenshots in #32

Is it a matter of some indexing I don't provide? What should be the format of the index.org file and where should it be put in the dropbox folder?

Thanks!

Reported by @rahuljha and @AGagarin:

Not able to sync, I keep getting:

Error downloading checksums

An error was encountered while downloading checksums.dat from the server. This file isn't required, but the error received was unusual. The error was:

Unexpected error

"A launch image named "[email protected]" is required to run at native resolution on Retina 4 devices."

Non-code work, added for tracking

Attempting to download MobileOrg from app store on either device results in an ix.ApplicationNotCompatible.WarningTitle pop-up box, containing an ix.ApplicationNotCompatible.SoftwareUpdateDescription message.

MobileOrg is no longer usable on 1st-generation iPads, which cannot install iOS 6.

I find it hard to understand why it's not compatible with an the older OS. It doesn't need to interact with Siri, or front-facing cameras, etc.., (at least not as its main job, which is displaying text and lists and agendas.) I would like to request that iOS5 support be brought back if at all possible.

Enhancement request from Marvin Doyley

Recipe:

1. unlink dropbox account
2. press the log-in button, authenticate
3. switch to outline tab and hit sync

Expected: sync occurs
Actual: 401 auth failed error

This is because the DBRestClient object needs to get reallocated when we change user auths.

If I have an Org file named X&Y.org, it is copied correctly to the MobileOrg folder, but the display is empty on the iPhone/iPad app. I think the ampersand is the problem.

I've just upgraded to iOS7. The search window used to have some filter buttons I think, like "TAG" and "TITLE". This section of the screen is blank now.

The link to github at the bottom of the documentation (http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/doc/) page is ou of date.

Since I “upgraded” to the new version I can’t see the contents of my Org files. Whenever I click them I only get to see the properties view of the file. When I “View as Document” it displays only the name of the file.

I’m syncing via DAV, which seems to work, at least for agenda.org, as that node gets displayed correctly.

Any ideas?

In the original MobileOrg, TODO items could only be added in a flat list, and then had to be refiled. It would be much better if you could add items in the proper place in their hierarchy. Also be able to change item state, and have it sync with the corresponding item in the original file. Maybe the git merge driver work from GSOC could be relevant here?

It would also be useful to be able to start and stop task timers on the phone i.e. the "tracking work time" feature of Org.

Thanks a lot!

The documentation at http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/doc/getting-started/using-dropbox/ should be changed to say that the MobileOrg folder is created under the Apps subfolder in the Dropbox folder.

As of a week or two ago I cannot sync MobileOrg. I get the following error:

Error downloading checksums

An error was encountered while
downloading checksums.dat from
the server. This file isn't required,
but the error received was unusual.
The error was:

Unexpected error

I have upgraded from iOS 5.0.1 to the latest 6.1 but the error still persists.

It would be great if org-mobile could send an iOS notification on deadlines being triggered for specific TODOs that are synced to the App.

In capture mode, add some buttons to top bar.

D inserts DEADLINE:
S SCHEDULED:

And a calendar that inserts the <date> at the current text insertion point.

It would be nice to be able to capture notes in another text editing app (Drafts, for example) and then have the option to open those notes in MobileOrg capture.

The editor window height appears smaller on the iPhone 5, both in the capture new note and in the edit body window. It seems the height is fixed to the previous screen sizes when the keyboard is shown. On the iPad it works OK.

I'm not sure if it's related but it's also difficult to scroll in these windows to see the bottom of the text when it goes outside the screen.

The following images show how the text is cut and there is a white band between it and the keyboard.

Oh, and thanks a lot for keeping MobileOrg alive!
