I'd like to be able to do 'org-capture from any emacs, and have them all dump into the same org-default-notes-file, which i have creatively named notes.org. How can i do this? I thought of possibly setting a defadvice tied to notes.org that tells all running emacs to unceremoniously revert that buffer before doing anything else to it, and to save it when done with it. Has anybody already solved this problem? tia, Eric
