emacs mylin-like tool ?

[Luca Ferrari]

Hi all,
I'm curious to know if there is some tool like Eclipse Mylin
(http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/) that "records" which files have been
visited when working about a specific task. And in the case it would
be great to get it tied to org mode tasks...any suggestion?

Thanks,
Luca

Here is a small hack.  It empty the list of recent files when you
clock in a task, and it write it as a dynamic block when you clock out.
I don't use recentf-mode myself, so this may need more testing.

Feedback welcome!

(defun org-recentf-save-and-empty ()
  "Save and empty recentf"
  (if (not recentf-mode)
      (recentf-mode)
    (recentf-save-list)
    (setq recentf-list nil)
    (message "Recentf list reinitialized")))

(defun org-recentf-dblock-update ()
  "Insert and/or update #+BEGIN: recentf block"
  (save-excursion
    (org-back-to-heading)
    (if (search-forward "#+BEGIN: recentf")
	(org-dblock-update)
      (outline-next-heading)
      (insert "#+BEGIN: recentf\n#+END:\n")
      (search-backward "#+BEGIN")
      (org-dblock-update))))

(defun org-dblock-write:recentf (params)
  "Write the RECENTF dblock."
  (interactive)
  (let* ((rf "(setq recentf-list %s)")
	 (rfl (format rf (prin1-to-string recentf-list))))
    (insert "#+begin_src emacs-lisp\n" rfl
	    "\n(recentf-load-list)\n#+end_src")))

(add-hook 'org-clock-in-hook 'org-recentf-save-and-empty)
(add-hook 'org-clock-out-hook 'org-recentf-dblock-update)

HTH,

Hi Bastien,
thank you for this nice piece of code, I'll try it out for a few days
to see how I feel it and report back on it.
