If I do "C-c C-w" (refile), I get the following:
NOW:
Click <mouse-2> on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
Possible completions are:
done.org/ eraldo.org/ inbox.org/
WANTED:
Possible completions are:
done.org/ eraldo.org/ inbox.org/ Reference/
In other words...
I would like to have a whole directory as one item listed in my refile targets.
Greetings from Austria,
Eraldo & Lea
PS:
Another possibility would be to be able to refile to any other place
apart from the defined ones via prefix or shortcut.

Hi Eraldo,
I have now read this email about 4 times, and I have not clue
what you are talking about. Please try again.

Hello,
My apologies for a newbie question, but since I upgraded org-mode from
the bundled version (6.21 iirc), syntax highlighting is no longer
automatic, and when I have loaded my org-file, I have to manually run
org-mode-restart for it to kick in.
I am sure this is a configuration issue on my part, but I have not been
able google my way to a solution.
This is running GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (on Windows XP), org-mode version
6.31trans.
The org-specific bits in my setup file are:
----
(setq load-path (cons "c:/elisp/org-mode/lisp" load-path))
(setq load-path (cons "c:/elisp/org-mode/contrib/lisp" load-path))
(require 'org-install)
;; The following lines are always needed. Choose your own keys.
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)
(org-remember-insinuate)
(setq org-directory "d:/My Dropbox/mylog")
(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "/notes.org"))
(define-key global-map "\C-cr" 'org-remember)
(setq org-remember-templates
'(("Todo" ?t "* TODO %?\n %i\n %a" "d:/My Dropbox/mylog/TODO.org"
"Tasks")
("Journal" ?j "* %U %?\n\n %i\n %a" "d:/My Dropbox/mylog/JOURNAL.org")))
(global-font-lock-mode 1)
----
Is there something glaringly obvious that is wrong here?
Best regards,
Helge

> Sure :) ;;sorry about that I happen to have problems explaining...
If I am on a headline in an org-mode buffer and do "C-c C-w" (refile) on it...
...and then press TAB twice. I get a completion list buffer that pops
up and looks somthing like this:
Possible completions are:
done.org/ eraldo.org/ inbox.org/
>> showing some files as possible refile targets.
What I would like to have is this:
Possible completions are:
done.org/ eraldo.org/ inbox.org/ Reference/
>> showing the same refile targets plus a directory of my choice!
In the meantime I have made some experiments and I could get my
directory(name) listed there...
... however that is not of any use since it does not treat it as a
directory nor as a file ;; very strange stuff ^^
What is the way to go in order to move a headline to a location that
is not listed as a refile target?
>> until now what I did is the following:
open a new emacs buffer and open the desired file in there or create a
new one. ;; C-x C-f
go back to the other buffer. ;; C-x o // C-c b // C-x b // Alt+TAB
fold up the headline. ;; TAB // TAB TAB
cut the headline ;; C-k
change buffer again. ;; C-x o // C-c b // C-x b // Alt+TAB
paste the headline ;; C-y
If there is a better / easier way I would be glad to know :)
Thanks for your patience,

What is Reference/ supposed to be in this case -- a directory? Refiling
only works to headings (or top level headings) in files in org-mode IIRC.

Yes it is supposed to be a directory...
I have org files in many directorys... about like so:
reference/emacs/emacs.org
reference/eros/eros.org
reference/Avalon/Avalon.org
reference/Gimp/Gimp.org
reference/office/office.org
reference/home/home.org
reference/poems/poems.org
...
What would be a smart way to get a headline from the file inbox.org
named "* Erich Fried poems" to poems.org?
Considering that poems.org is not part of the agenda nor a refile target.
What I am doing until now is:
folding the headline (tab)
cutting the headline (C-k)
making a split screen (C-x 2)
changing buffer (C-x o)
opening poems.org (C-x C-f "reference/poems/poems.org")
pasting headline (C-y)
changing buffer (C-x o)
removing split view (C-x 1)
Poems.org is not part of the agenda because it is reference material
and not an active file.
It is also not a refile target because I would have to make every .org
file in all subdirectories a refile target and sometimes the
appropriate file does not yet exist, in which case I need to create
it.
Any ideas?
Do I need to further try to make clear what I mean?
Greetings,
Eraldo

Well, you need to make it a refile target, that is the
whole point of defining refiling targets.
If you want, you can make yourself a special refile function that
temporarily installs a long list of files in org-refile-targets. You
can use `let' to bind
org-refile-targets, and directory-files to get the files.
For example (untested)
(defun my-refile-to-reference ()
(interactive)
(let ((org-refile-targets (list (directory-files "~/Reference/
'full "*.org")
'(:maxlevel . 1))))
(call-interactively 'org-refile)))
Would offer all top-level headlines in any org files in the ~/
Reference directory

Since having so many targets for refiling slows down refiling a lot, I
do this here.
I've set `org-refile-targets' like this (custom-set-variables):
'(org-refile-targets (quote ((org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 3)
(sr-org-refile-targets :maxlevel . 2))))
In addition, I have this here in my setup:
(defvar sr-org-refile-targets nil
"List of refile targets for Org-remember.
See `org-refile-targets'.")
(defvar sr-org-refile-dir-excludes "^[#\\.].*$")
(defvar sr-org-refile-file-excludes "^[#\\.].*$")
(defun sr-find-org-refile-targets
(&optional recurse dirs file-excludes dir-excludes)
"Fill the variable `sr-org-refile-targets'.
Optional parameters:
recurse If `t', scan the directory recusively.
dirs A list of directories to scan for *.org files.
file-excludes Regular expression. If a filename matches this regular
expression,
do not add it to `sr-org-refile-targets'.
dir-excludes Regular expression. If a directory name matches this
regular expression,
do not add it to `sr-org-refile-targets'."
(let ((targets (or dirs (list org-directory)))
(fex (or file-excludes "^[#\\.].*$"))
(dex (or dir-excludes "^[#\\.].*$"))
path)
(dolist (dir targets)
(if (file-directory-p dir)
(let ((all (directory-files dir nil "^[^#\\.].*$")))
(dolist (f all)
(setq path (concat (file-name-as-directory dir) f))
(cond
((file-directory-p path)
(if (and recurse (not (string-match dex f)))
(sr-find-org-refile-targets t (list path) fex
dex)))
((and (string-match "^[^#\\.].*\\.org$" f) (not
(string-match fex f)))
(setq sr-org-refile-targets (append (list path)
sr-org-refile-targets))))))
(message "Not a directory: %s" path))
)))
(defun sr-add-to-org-refile-targets ( recurse dirs )
"Add a directory to org-refile targets recursively."
(interactive "P\nDdirectory: ")
(sr-find-org-refile-targets
(if recurse t nil)
(list dirs)
sr-org-refile-file-excludes
sr-org-refile-dir-excludes)
(message "org-refile-targets: \n%s" sr-org-refile-targets))
Now I call the function `sr-add-to-org-refile-targets' whenever I need
to add all Org-files in a directory recursively.

Thank you very much for sharing this!
That seems to be more than what I need.
A waaay easier solution would be to be able to refile/save a headline
to a non-predefined target.
> just like it is the case with "find file" (C-x C-f)

(if it does not exist > create)
Wouldn't that be an awesome option?

Yes.
This does so. Note: there's no testing for the '*.org'
extension and writability...
(defun sr-add-file-to-org-refile-targets ( file )
"Add a single file to org-refile targets. Eventually create it."
(interactive "FNew refile target: ")
(when (not (file-exists-p file))
(access-file file))
(setq sr-org-refile-targets (append (list file)
sr-org-refile-targets))

"directory-files" only outputs directories but no .org files
therefore with the pattern "*.org" as a filter ... nothing is returned!
But I like the idea a lot!
Should "directory-files" list all files inside a directory?
