re: Org-Mode How to archive to specific files based on tags?

[Carlo Tambuatco]

In Org mode, is there a way to control automatically where entries get archived based on the properties of the entry, such as its tags or any other property it has?

For example, right now, I use one gigantic archive file for my personal chores, completed tasks, etc. It kind of functions as a de facto diary of things I have done in the past few months. 

I want to archive entries related to my projects and work related stuff in a separate archive file (or preferably multiple separate archive files, one per project), and I want org mode to recognize when to archive to this work related file automatically based on the tags and properties of the entry. This will also function as a kind of “captain’s log” of items done for my projects. 

Open to any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

You can use the :ARCHIVE: property on a subtree (inherited by headlines
within this subtree), but no, you cannot use tags and other properties
programmatically.

Best,

PS: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org is the easiest way to get feedback on Org.
