quickly adding files to agenda..

quickly adding files to agenda..

[sergio]

i am having an issue with aquamacs right now that is forcing me to  
rebuild my agenda list every time i restart emacs..

this is probably a more generally emacs question, but i thought this  
list might be a good place to start..

i have all my org files in a directory called 'orgfiles'...

what i would like to do is mark all my files in dired or something  
similar, then crank them all through C-c [ .

right now, i have to open each file and C-c [ it..

any ideas?

Would it help to add the directory itself to org-agenda-files?  Perhaps
it should be the sole entry, perhaps you have other org files somewhere
else that you want to include in the agenda; but if the directory is in
the list, then the agenda will pick up items from newly created files in
that directory, e.g. with org-agenda-redo (that's bound to "g" in the
agenda buffer).

HTH,
Nick

i am not good at lisp at all, but i have it slated to learn over  
christmas..

but..

here's what i am doing in my .emacs file.. then evaluating each  
command to test:

(load-library "find-lisp") <- this works ..

(find-lisp-find-files "~/orgfiles" "\.org") <- just for testing. when  
i run it, it spits out a list of my org files..

now, i am not sure how to phrase this:

to make org-agenda see the whole thing..

any ideas?

thanks so much!

You could try the line

(setq org-agenda-files (find-lisp-find-files "~/orgfiles/" "\.org"))

I don't actually use this method for my setup, but that should work.
