BUG: in org-refile

[Jost Burkardt]

Hi,

org-refile seems to have problems, when there are similar headings with
similar nams in different trees. I have the following setup

----- BEGIN TEST.org ---
* Stuff
** something to refile to Project/A/Notes
* Projects
** A
*** Notes
** B
*** Notes
----- END TEST.org -----

org-refile-targets is set to :

((org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 2)
 (org-agenda-files :regexp . "Task\\|Notes"))

when I put the cursor on the second line ("something ...") and do a
refile to TEST.org/Projects/A/Notes

----- BEGIN TEST.org ---
* Stuff
* Projects
** A
*** Notes
** B
*** Notes
**** something to refile to Project/A/Notes
----- END TEST.org -----

it seems that org-refile is not taking the full path into account.

By the way, do you think it would be possible to use org-refile to just
to go to a target position - maybe with a prefix C-u (just like
org-remember). I very much like the minibuffer-movement-interface, and
it would definetly help in finding item's, which were "filed away" :-)

I'm on emacs 22.1.1 with org 5.19a.

Hi Jost, thanks for the nice report.

This is now fixed, with the drawback that Emacs will now visit
and create buffers for all files that are possible refile candidates.
Previously I removed the corresponding buffers to avoid creating
many buffers.  But now I just keep them, and make sure that accurate
positions are maintained and found.  In particular, I re-create the full
table of refile targets for each call of the command.  This could be
potentially a bit slower, but it is safer this way, and gets rid of
the need to update the target table by hand.

The comparison with `org-remember' is a valid one, I am implementing
it exactly as you have proposed, with a prefix arg.

I'm really looking forward to this, thank you *very* much!
