org-agenda todo list at startup

org-agenda todo list at startup

[trebol55555]

Hello, 
I put in .emacs (org-todo-list t). The frame is divided in two
at start, but the org-agenda window still showing the scratch buffer.

Anyone can tell me how I can make the scratch buffer don't own the other
window?

Thanks, Trebol.

I cannot reproduce this with latest Org.  What version of Org and of
Emacs are you using?

I'm confused: is your scratch buffer stealing the Org agenda window, or
another window?

Thanks,

Hello Bastien, and thanks for reply.

The problem is when start emacs, the scratch buffer appears on all
windows, there is no problem in org (maybe I must change the
subject...): While .emacs is loading, (org-todo-list t) split the
window, but when the init process is finished, there is scratch on
everywhere. I want (org-todo-list -t) appear on a window, and the
scratch buffer stay at home as a good boy.

This is my Emacs:
GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1)

Org version isn't important, this will happen with any function put in
.emacs in the same form (here must be the problem, may poor knowledge of
lisp).

Bye,
Trebol.

Hi trebol

Use the window-setup-hook. This hook shouldn't be used within a library
apparently, but is fine for your stuff. It runs after all the init and
customization stuff. This is what I do anyway...

(defun me-startup-in-agenda ()
  (split-window-horizontally)
  (my-load-org-files) 
  (switch-to-buffer "home.org")
  (org-agenda-list))

  (add-hook 'window-setup-hook 'me-startup-in-agenda)

Could you please explain this comment.  I ask because I do make use of the
window-setup-hook in a library I am writing.

Thanks.

It was based on vaguely remember reading something to this effect. I
found it, and on re-reading perhaps I shouldn't have recommended its
use. I've never had any problems with it personally...

| Variable: window-setup-hook
| 
|     This variable is a normal hook which Emacs runs after handling the
|     initialization files. Emacs runs this hook after it has completed
|     loading your init file, the default initialization file (if any),
|     and the terminal-specific Lisp code, and running the hook
|     term-setup-hook.
| 
|     This hook is used for internal purposes: setting up communication
|     with the window system, and creating the initial window. Users
|     should not interfere with it.

Thanks a lot Martyn, it's just I was looking for.

I use it in this way
(defun custom-startup ()
  (org-todo-list t)
  (switch-to-buffer "*Org Agenda*"))
(add-hook 'window-setup-hook 'custom-startup)

Thanks again,
Trebol.
