However, my org mode capture set up duplicates that effort for many routine kinds of work with emacs. It would seem like a no-brainer, but maybe not. I wonder whether a ChangeLog functionality can be either replaced or augmented using org-mode. I have a plethora of little projects scattered all over my home directory tree. I might be working on a graph of today's tides, so I might make a new folder, and work away. Then, at some point, I need to save some notes that are convenient to find without digging through a lot of cruft. (I have a lot of cruft). Ideally, my capture template would search for some standard file in the current folder, such as 00_README.org, then set up in a date-time tree to edit a note, then save the file, whether new or not, in the current directory. It seems ChangeLog may sometimes save to a directory a the head of a tree, I'm not sure. This might be an interesting option , if I wanted to graph tides for a number of sites, within an overall directory tree. I wonder if something like this has been implemented. I think the main trick might be to use the current directory. Maybe this is trivial, probably so, and for this I apologize.
