Since there are quite a few of them, I thought I could ask here. I don't have /strict/ requirements, but rather a few problems I'd like that system to address, and a few features I'd probably need. 1. When I have many files open, switching to another buffer is a bit cumbersome, even when using Ido. I'd like that system to have something like "ido-switch-buffer-within-project". 2. Files of the project might not be located in one folder (so e.g. Projectile probably won't work for me). Rationale: there may be a few files somehere down the ~/Documents hierarchy and /one/ file in ~/org. On the other hand, I'd like to be able to specify that "this file and all files in that directory belong to this project", without manually listing all the files in "that directory". It would then be best if adding a file into the specified directory (or tree) would add it /automatically/ to the project. 3. One file may belong to more than one project. Rationale: see above. 4. It would be great if I could mark some /global/ variables project-dependent, i.e., each variable would have its "project instance", and switching between projects would mean changing its value accordingly. (It would probably also need some kind of persistence, too.) Rationale: org-clock-history;). 5. Of course, I'd like to be able to visit/kill all files/buffers related to the project with one command. Also, adding a project (and a file/files to an existing project) should be possible in some interactive way (though using some Elisp variable for that might be acceptable). 6. On the other hand, window configuration management is not a must for me - currently I work 98% of the time on a small netbook and usually have only one window open anyway. I'm planning to use a larger monitor in some time, though, so while not necessary, this would be a nice bonus. Is there anything in existence that would help me? Are there any potentially useful features I did not think of that people find useful? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University
