Subject: How to customize an option to a dynamic value (computed by lisp form)
Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 17:26:31 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJR3QncuRLcqhk0Ga_0YxeES=-K_01QZV3-zGHambvPQO+vpjA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi. I set three options to a dynamic value, using the value of the option
`org-directory'. Now my custom-set-variables call in init.el includes the
following:
'(org-agenda-files
(list
(concat org-directory "/agenda/")
"~/Dropbox/wanessa_e_jorge/administração_clínica/derma-prime.org"))
[...]
'(org-icalendar-combined-agenda-file (concat org-directory "/org.ics"))
[...]
'(org-mobile-inbox-for-pull (concat org-directory "/agenda/from-mobile.org"))
The problem is that when I try to customize one of these three options, the
customize buffer does not know that the value was computed dynamically. For
example, the customize buffer for org-mobile-inbox-for-pull shows the value as
simply "~/org/agenda/from-mobile.org". This means that if I edit the value to
"~/org/agenda/from-mobile42.org" and save the customization, it will be written
to init.el as a string literal, no longer respecting org-directory. Then if I
later change org-directory I will have problems.
Previously I worked around this problem by setting these options manually
(editing org-init.el, which is called by init.el), but I think the ideal would
be to use customize, so I decided to ask here. I have already searched Google
and the list archives.
Thank you for your attention.
