Hi,

The attached patch fix the type declaration of org-capture-templates by
allowing the user to use file, variable, function and sexp as target's
file to match the documentation

(org) Template elements
> Most target specifications contain a file name. If that file name is the
> empty string, it defaults to ‘org-default-notes-file’. A file can also
> be given as a variable, function, or Emacs Lisp form.

OK to push?

Thank you.

Shouldn't there be an entry for each type instead of stuffing everything
within "File" descriptor ?

With my patch, the customization interface looks like this
- for a file :
Target location: Value Menu File:
  File: Value Menu File: ~/org/notes.org

- for a variable :
Target location: Value Menu File:
  File: Value Menu Variable: nil

- for a function :
Target location: Value Menu File:
  File: Value Menu Function: ignore

- for an Emacs Lisp form :
Target location: Value Menu File:
  File: Value Menu Lisp expression: nil

What kind of rendering do you think would be better/clearer?

Best,

:tag " File" is misleading. Perhaps " File, variable, function or
S-expression" would be clearer, if a bit longish.

Not sure how to make this beast clearer anyway.

That's too long IMHO.

> Not sure how to make this beast clearer anyway.

Me neither.

If anyone has an opinion on this, s/he is welcome!

This patch can wait a little until we find a satisfactory solution.
AFAIK noone has reported this bug :)
